Mick Tucker is a great drummer!! Andy Scott is a great guitar player, Steve Priest is a great bass player , Brian Connolly is a great front man and Singer. They all can sing great. Put them all together and you have one of the greatest bands of all time!! Sweet deserves to be recognized and they belong in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame!! Long live Sweet forever!!🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Dianne Carpenter spot on such a great era and the sweet are the stand out group , the seventies ohh to be able to go back , truly happy times. Woodroffe
Brian Connoly is not a great front man, he just stands there he does not really interact with the crowd if you're a good front man you need to interact with the crowd you know find that one person that's not getting off on your show and make them get off. Now I'm not saying that Brian Connolly can't sing, he does that quite well he just needs to interact more with his band and more with the crowd. it's a shame he won't be able to do that now ,maybe the guys up in heaven will teach him. Hey you know if there's a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band, and what he doesn't know they'll teach him. Rest in peace all good members of sweet,and Andy Scott we're still glad you're around and you're a hell of a guitar player., And a great singer. Andy if you read any reviews on yourself I compare you guys to Queen I said if I could compare these guys to anybody it would be Queen with their vocals in the way they all collaborate with each other. Fantastic . You guys rocked
@@mariannemctaggart3373 Have you seen Brian Connolly and the original Sweet in concert?🎤🎸🎵🥁
@@diannecarpenter7718 I'm sorry to say no I have not .but some his videos I can see that he doesn't do much action on stage as like some other bands do and I'm not saying theyre not a great band because they are an excellent band I really like them a lot I just wish Brian Connolly was a little more of a showman he had a beautiful voice they all had excellent voices I compare them to Queen and queen did an interview once and said that they are influenced by Sweet they are very underrated people don't give them the credit that they deserve I love them I think Steve priest and Andy Scott play together great and we're able to interact with each other. check out the song Sweet fa you will see how well they work together. I am in no way bad-mouthing the band the band is fantastic I'm just simply saying that Brian Connolly could have been a little bit more involved that's all.
@@diannecarpenter7718 have you had the pleasure of seeing them,
Sadly this is the side of the Sweet that we didn't get to see very often, they were such a great band.
I have said on another video that I saw both versions of the band. The teenybopper version were excellent and entertaining, but I went and saw them two years later and they had reverted to their original style of playing, which they are so obviously happier doing. Those doubting Brian's input during a live gig are wrong - he was belting it out far better than a lot of contemporary 'heavy bands' singers were [and that includes Geordie ,whose lead singer went on to other things apparently...........]. Don't forget he had to be the 'pretty boy too :)
First time I have ever seen the raw side of Sweet and it's unbelievably amazingly mindblowing.
Why the hell didn't they stay on this road from the beginning, they were a real rock band ?
It's the flip side.
Agree 🤟🤟🤟🤟😻✌️💋
Mick Tucker was beyond phenomenal. Why is he so underrated??? In fact why are Sweet as a whole so underrated??? They ROCKED!
Chinn and chapman got them to fame, but they were way better than popsters. In another life and time Sweet would have been exactly what they should have been. Happy they were with with us, but they were way way better than most realise
Mick Tucker is probably the most underrated drummer ever. Fact is that he was one of the best. World class top notch drummer.
+Justin Case Absolutely. Technique, knowledge, entertaining showmanship and genuine poise behind the kit, power, sensitivity, inventiveness , seemingly boundless energy and also being possessed of a commanding presence ... Mick was a fabulous drummer !
+TheHumbuckerboy I agree with your comments !!!!! He was unique !!!!!!!
Yes, it is a shame that his name isn't mentioned enough whenever people are discussing all-time great rock drummers because Mick deserves to be placed right up there amongst the best ever IMO.
have to admit Justin, never seen this footage before but this is breath taking good.........the man with the golden arm wowwwww
He is all of those things. I can't remeber exactly who said it but it may have been Andy Scott, but whoever it was said of Mick that, "He was the best little drummer this country has ever produced." (OWTTE).
Considering Mick's contemporaries, high praise indeed. Cozy Powell, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, Nick Mason are 4 or 5 of his contemporaries that readily come to mind. Mick Tucker is rarely included in such lofty company but for the life of me - and probably you, I don't understand why ??
The stick twirl in one hand while drinking with the other. How cool is Mick Tucker. Just an amazing drummer 🥰
Yes ,unfogeteble
Hoe d you what hé is Drinking?
That's where Tommy Lee got it from..
15 years ago today Mick lost his battle and the world lost the best and most underrated rock drummer ever!!!
R.I.P Michael Thomas Tucker
What an absolute amazing talented drummer Mick Tucker was. He left this world far too early.
So true. Ah, the good die young as they say.
I miss this level of power, talent, sheer musicianship and, equally, humour. This band are too important to ever let slip out of the public eye
Agree!
Ladies and gents, one of the greatest drummers ever, RIP
I agree!!!!! Where are you from? I´m from Finland. I love Sweet, the whole band. And yes, Mick Tucker is one of the greatest drummer ever!!!! Just now, I don´t remember better....
RiP Mick. 14.2.17
15 Jahre sind vergangen, wir haben Mick nicht vergessen / 15 years have passed, we have not forgotten Mick
Ellen R. Mick ist nicht vergessen
that's true 4 genius...Mike the best drummer...
Mick Tucker was a bloody great drummer and also a brilliant percussionist!!!!! Fact!
You've nailed it!
AAAAAAAA MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're Brit's extremely talented!
Mick Tucker -вликолепный барабанщик,в одном ряду с самыми великими барабанщиками мира.Super!
Can't belive this is from 1974, this drumsolo is so ahead of the time
all innovative great things was done in seventeens man, didn't you know?
Drum solos were common back then.::...usually they were an unwelcome addition to a song....check out Deep Purple. Made in Japan for unnecessary Drum solos....also Yes on one or two songs from Yessongs
Krasser Gegensatz zu der heutigen bekloppten Musik!
Dies war noch ehrliche und gute Musik von echten Musiker n die noch Spass an ihrer Arbeit hatten !!!
Traurig das du so früh von uns gegangen bist Mike 😢
I met Mick Tucker in a nightclub in London - late 80s - he was with Brian Connolly - both were lovely people. I told them I idolised Sweet as a kid and Mick Tucker laughed when I said it was so exciting to see him twirl drumstix on Top of The Pops! RIP both. x
Ive always maintained that Sweet had roots in hard rock, as highly accomplished musicians. Proof, if it were needed, is here. Total CLASS
Mick Tucker is a drumming beast !!!!
You got that right! Love me some Mick! 😍🥰
@@Mick_Ts_Chick Yep he got twelve arms
@@traceyculyer5811 and they're all gold
What a legend. What a time keeper. What a master of the beat. Amazing how he could drum and twirl his drum stick (longer than others I have seen at) the same time. Pure entertainment. Truly the man with the golden arm. Sadly gone before his time. His legacy to music still lives on.
Forever a big part of our hearts 💕 !!
Because twirling a fucking drumstick means you HAVE to be a great drummer, right? Look at all the truly great drummers, Baker, Paice, Bonham, Moon, Powell Starr etc. They didn't/don't, do fancy twirls they just play great drums.
@@CB-xr1eg Fool. He didn't just twirl the drumsticks as you put it. He could really play. He had fantastic style and his timing was impeccable. I saw 3 of those others you mention above playing live at various concerts during my youth. Although very good they did not match Mick Tucker in my honest opinion. He could also sing very well which is something the others couldn't do. The fact that he could twirl those sticks the way he did during his drumming sessions and still keep up with his timing and rhythm was an indication of just how good he was. I actually remember as a teenagers around 1972 time, Mick tucker been described by some critics as one of the best young drummers to come out of England.
@@CB-xr1eg Key phrase: at the same time. Skillfully managing a beat with one hand and twirling with the other is about performative showmanship and a decent feat of coordination. They're a glam/rock band, putting on a fun show to watch is part of their MO.
Meanwhile if you're an amateur like me it's a coin flip whether or not I can twirl and work a kick drum without dropping the darn thing, lol. Skill issue I know
@@KaaneDragonShinobi No mate, it's showboating. As I said above, truly great dru,mmers don't do it. They have no need.
So pleased this concert footage has surfaced to prove to any doubters what a fantastic band Sweet were.Great material, amazing musicians and vocalists. As for Mick's drumming. WOW! No one better in my opinion. EVER!Mesmerising to watch, looks like he's having the time of his life. Even his one bum note on tubular bells can't knock the smileoff his face! My top 3 bands of all time- The Beatles, Cheap Trick and the mighty SWEET!
Why is no one talking about how awesome Andy Scott's voice sounds and those badass guitar riffs and bass riffs
brian who? 😂
I thought that…should have done more.
Shocked by how good his voice in that live
Ladies and gentlemen: THIS is a band! Accomplished musicians, each one. This is breathtaking. xx
🤣🤣🤣
Великолепный барабанщик. Светлая ему память.
Holy smokes. This made me sit up. I thought I knew The Sweet. This is fabulous!
Inspiration for many
hearing Hell Raiser on radio i knew i had to learn playing guitar ;-)(this was a chin/chapmann composition, but nevertheless...)
Same here pelican!
Ladies and gents, one of the greatest drummers ever, RIP
Mick war einfach nur ein sehr guter Drummer gewesen der hammer 🔨 🔨 🔨 🔨 🔨 🔨 grüße aus Berlin the sweet forever
Fuck sakes,unreal ....jazz,rock,opera all in one awesome drum solo!Mick Tucker is a drum god!
They'll never be another Mick Tucker he's so underated I could watch him all day, no one twirled a drumstick like Mick, RIP Mick your missed mate.❤
I no that .
Agree 100%! So much skill, personality, and cuteness all in one package. He was truly unique. Sadly missed but never forgotten. 💘
This is one of the greatest videos to show Mick's incredible talent and personality. Our Mick was truly one of a kind. On this sad anniversary of his death we will remember his life and legacy to music. RIP sweet Mick. We miss you! 😘🖤
I can only imagine how good this band would have been with proper management. Great talent all round.
they managed themselves and that gave us all the amazing music they had, cant really complain!
The fact that they managed themselves probably means they bit off more than they could chew in the end. Fabulous musicians and should be in the Hall of Fame for sure.
What a GIANT of a drummer, underrated by many, loved and admired by more, RIP Mick Tucker....Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Saw them in 1975 and Mick played the best drum solo in rock I've ever seen hands down, he incorporated 2 film screens which were synchronized with his live playing, unbelievable. Too bad there's no footage of that anywhere.
Мик - красава ! Глэммеры жгут !
Жаль , что ушли в мир иной трое из них ! Свелая им память ! 🙏💔
А Энди долгих лет жизни !
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mick Tucker in the summer of 1990 in San Diego, California. He was an amazing person, a real gentleman, and probably the most underrated drummer in rock history. Truth is, Mick was an amazing drummer and will never be forgotten by those who knew the incredibly humble human being he was and his brilliant, unparalleled talent. Long live the memory of Mick Tucker and the music of Sweet.
he never spoke too much in interviews so its hard to see his character - was he shy like brian or how was he when you approached him?
Mick was a phenomenal drummer ❤
❤
Всегда любил эту группу.Класс!
Mick was the man. This guy could have played in any heavy metal or hard rock band in the seventies, or eighties. I ve seen a ton of great drummers, but Mick took it to the highest levels of perfection
Jaw-dropping. Mesmerizing. Rock and Jazz combined. Brilliant. I feel privileged to have seen such musicianship recorded so well.
Mick Tucker. So fucking talented.
He was so fun to watch. he really seemed to enjoy what he was doing and have fun with it.
RIP to one of the best who will ever be
A fantastic opportunity to allow Mick to show his drumming chops...WOW!!!
Warum wurde Mick sein exzellentes Können am Schlagzeug nie mehr Aufmerksamkeit und Anerkennung gezollt? Er konnte es mit den Besten der Besten aufnehmen RIP lieber Mick 🥁💖
Stimmt
War auch für mich einer der besten Drummer der Rockgeschichte.
Das lag daran, dass The Sweet damals eine Teenie-Band waren. Sie konkurrierten seinerzeit mit den Bay City Rollers und Smokie und nicht mit den Stones, Deep Purple oder Queen. Als Teenie-Band abgestempelt, wollte niemand The Sweet ernsthaft als Rock-Band wahrnehmen. Dafür hatten sie einen sehr großen kommerziellen Erfolg. Leider haben sie es im Laufe der Zeit nicht mehr geschafft, ihr Image weg von der Teenie-Pop-Band hin zu einer ernst zunehmenden Rockband zu entwickeln! Im Gegensatz zu so mancher Pop-Band, waren The Sweet tatsächlich richtig gute und fähige Musiker, die ihre Instrumente beherrschten. Durch ihre großen Erfolge mit ihren Pop-Hits waren sie jedoch längst abgestempelt. So sind sie dann letztendlich als eine der vielen, einst so erfolgreichen Teenie-Pop-Bands, in die Musik-Geschichte eingegangen - und wurden auch ziemlich schnell wieder vergessen. Tragisch. Denn eigentlich steckte viel mehr dahinter. 😞
Its unanimous, Mick Tucker was a phenomenal drummer.
Before rush. Mick tucker using percussion. Great drummer
Einfach Genial !!!! Für mich mit einer der besten Rockbands!!! Love Sweet Sweet Forever!! R.I.P Brian Mick und Steve 😥 so Traurig
Oh no. I have just heard the news that Steve Priest has died. Tremendous bass player, vocalist and someone who really knew the value gained through hard work. The man who put extra glam in glam, but remained true to his hard rock roots. Thanks for the music Steve
Yeah he had a host of health issues and it's apparent he took his own life though they won't confirm it in the media.
Absolutely agree. Memory forever, Steve !! The band of my teen-aging.
It must have been exciting to be a young rock star but he payed for the lifestyle in later years. He was wearing adult diapers sitting in a chair during his last performances. The alcohol bug took him. God bless him.
@@newavatar2947 yes, i saw his last interview
I hated Priest, I always thought there was something very weird about him. Wouldn't surprise me if he was one of savile & glitter's mates if you get my meaning. Oh yeah, RIP SP.
Такер, есть Такер! Всегда восхищался им, как одним из самых великих барабанщиков в Мире. Как он двумя бочками долбил выстукивая ритм по длительности, в сочетании работы руками, это Супер! Жалко, что рано ушёл из жизни, мог бы ещё восхищать своих поклонников. Пусть земля тебе, Мик, будет пухом!!!!
What you are watching is the pre-cursor to groups like Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. The Sweet was known for their pop music, but they had a pure hard rock side as well, and they really were good at it too.
Remembering of Mick Tucker one of the best drummers. 17.07.49-14.02.02
God bless you, Mick. 14.02.2017
Thank God we've got footage left of truly one of the greatest original rock bands ever.....4 extremely talented vocalists and musicians...never to be forgotten
Mick Tucker - it looks like an easy game, how he is doing his job. He was born to be a drummer phantastisc!❤
Mick - the man with the golden arm & the lovely blue eyes ♥ RIP
Mick was such an innovative cool drummer to watch and listen to. I wish I got to meet him. I saw Sweet live in NYC in 1990 at The Cat Club. Mick was larger then life and the way he commanded the kit and played Action (and all their other hits) was unbelievable!! He really had it all - time, feel, technical skills, creative fills and a amazing voice. RIP Mick Tucker
Wow you were lucky. I agree that he did have a great voice also. I wish he could have sung more songs over the years though. The rock world is a lesser place without him.💔
Well.........My flabber has never been so gasted. Not ever.
I always thought of Mick as just an average drummer in a glam rock band that I used to like in the 70's.
BUT how wrong can I be?
Mick was absolutely totally and utterly brilliant...and so were Andy and Steve.
Mick was good enough to play in a rock band. a heavy metal band, a jazz band or an orchestral band. WHAT A SUPER-STAR AND MAESTRO PERFORMANCE FROM MICK.
In fact this is in the top three performances of any band I have seen in my life.
I can only shake my head in disbelief at what I have just witnessed. I honestly felt physically and emotionally drained after seeing this classic performance.
Brian. Mick, Steve, Andy, you are and will forever remain in my top three bands of all time after this.
It has opened my eyes and a St Paul epiphany has overcome me.
Andy mate. Your superb guitar playing talent is recognised.
Steve, I wish you had stayed around a lot longer my mate. We miss your showmansip and talent.
You are all we have left of the days when there were guys with so much expertise and skill that it was running out of their ears...and Sweet proved they were more than capable of holding a torch for the rest of the wannabe's to follow and look up to.
Thank you fellas.
Long life Andy. and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
All are great musicans
Google "Top Rock and Roll Drummers" and you will see list after list with 100+ names and no Mick Tucker. WTF????
yes its a joke perhaps john bonham was the only drummer thats better than mick
+Mary Baldwin
Always rely on your senses and not a hype fellowship.
You know, Deep Purple for instance were a damn good rock band and never made it into the so called " Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" .
Regarding Mick, he had it all - Balls of steel and a summary of class A techniques from other drummers such as Keith Moon or Ian Paice just to name a few.
+Cl4rendon Well you know it would just be nice for the guy to get his dues, even though he's gone now. Also, you figure the people who make these lists are really missing out if they've (obviously!) never heard him play.
+Mary Baldwin You're right Mary ... there is no justice !
it is because those list-makers from ROLLING STONE, SOUNDS, NME etc. ( all those great and so very much important music-magazines ) they know nothing, they are - and have been - ignorants.
Ok, I thought I was a pretty knowledgeable Sweet fan until stumbling upon this song. Never heard it before and I clearly have more research to do. School is in session and that's alright with me!
Andy Scott with that "Whats that man with the Golden Arm" vocal range!!! Superb!
R.I.P. BRIAN,MICK and STEVE...🙏😔🎼🎸🤘Greets,from an 61 Year old (Born in 1960) SWEET Fan from GERMANY 🇩🇪 😎
Absolutely phenomenal! They deserved to be bigger. Always will be one of my fave glam bands. Mick was one of the best drummer's ever.
just farking love it! him and ian paste always been my favorite 2 drummers
Sweet always underestimated. They are legendary!
Я поражена. Вот это музыканты 👏👏👏👏
Вот Микуся даёт .От души оторвался.Красавчик наш.Самый лучший!!!!
The BEST Drummer !!!!!!!
Proper musicians..every damn one of them...puts modern music to shame...just listen to micks drumming...and all of them could sing and play very well...very rare now
I just noticed during Mick's drum solo that Roger Taylor from Queen totally ripped it off for his live version of "Let There Be Drums". Check it out here on UA-cam and I'm sure you'll agree. The proof just keeps on piling up on just how much Queen ripped off The Sweet all along.
blah-blah...
Вот вам и глэм-рок. Дали по полной!
I love The Sweet, que grandes músicos eran , Mick era el mejor baterista del mundo , Andy un gran guitarrista , Steve un tremendo bajista y Brian tenia una voice hermosa , se les extraña, Sweet for ever.
This video is of such good quality for 1974, looks great even today in 2021. They will last forever in Rockdom Kingdom! Forever Sweet!
People who compile top drummer lists have no friggin clue about talent! Mick Tucker is one of the best rock drummers ever! RIP Mick
Они лучшие! Точка. They are the best of all!
Музыка моего детства. I like it/ На двух бочках... 74 год!!!
Mick had two golden arms and two golden legs.
Мик без напряга, мастер, круто!!,!,,
Я считаю что Mick входит в Top 10 лучших барабанщиков за всю историю. И мне плевать что со мной многие не согласятся. Меня не переубедить.
Can't get enough of when they come back in after Mick's count at 6:07. That is just so bad ass!
Ich finde ja dass Mick bis heute der beste Drummer ist!
Fantastic. I like how they took a single line originally written for the Fender Bass VI (performed by Jet Harris) and figured out how to make it work between Andy (with added Andy) and Steve in their own way. And Mick, as always, was such a great drummer. And of course Brian was a fantastic singer.
Mick Tucker, my first crush... 😍
One of the greatest rock drummers of all time greatly underated
I think most of the 70's adolescents who only know them from those Chinn/Chapman bubblegum hits Like CoCo, Poppa Joe, Funny Funny etc. will be flabbergasted seeing this (unless they took the effort to listen to the flipside of these singles....like "Done me wrong allright" which was THE eye/ear opener for me), but it's great to see and hear The Sweet doing what they really wanted to do. They were a fantastic heavy rock band and could easily fit in with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin etc.
Mick Tucker would have given John Bonham a run for his money.
every 0ne
But he didn't.

Why isn't he in best 10 of all times?
A complete natural and a very unique style. Totally underrated. Rock on Mick!❤
Просто потрясно! В первый раз имел удовольствие слышать и видеть!!!
Mick Tucker great, Andy and Steve one of the the best rockers in the history.
don,t forget Brian
And Brian.
at his best would give the mighty Neil Peart a run for his money!
He was also a well established drummer himself sittin behind them pagan skins. A true master at what he did all those years with RUSH!! Not too say Mick Tucker was at the same level of professional drummer!! Rest peace both Neal & Mick!
Phenomenal perfomance. F**king awesome. Mick Tucker is the most underrated drummer of all time
Andy's bum though :)! haha. This is fantastic. Mick was the one of the best drummers of all time and so underrated.
They all have nice bums lol
+Carly Smith They sure do 🙈 especially Brian ☺❤
+Urte Jankauskaite I'm friends with their kids and we still talk about how adorable they were hahaha. Steve still looks really good for his age. The kids are pretty much carbon copies of their dads. Have all the skills too.
Oh no way! That's incredible! They're a cute wee bunch :) Yeah he really does! If Steve is 68 and Andy is 66 then I'm in my 60s haha! I would love to meet him and see his band in America. I saw Andy's Sweet and I'm going to see them again in Sweden in August. I'm so excited :) Oh yeah I have noticed. I did some research and they all look like their fathers. I'm not surprised if they are talented like them too because Sweet were really special and full of talent :)
Oh wow. Did I ever love me my Andy! MmmmMmmm
Mick Tucker: Master of hearts! Not from a foolish "top drummers" today list.
I have never seen anyone swirl a stick in his fingers like Mick Tucker could. He was amazing at it.
What an Awesome drummer for a 70s kick ass band. Love me some SWEET.
I always loved Mick Tuckers drumming on the Sweet records. He is one of my top five drummers ever.
Mick Tucker was awesome, incredible... one of the most underrated hard rock / heavy metal drummers ever! RIP Mick !
Excellent musicians.
No. Formal. Training. Just naturally God-given talent. Mick was one of the greats.
Woefully under-rated band and sooo ahead of their time in so many aspects. Should have been HUGE in America.
My very thoughts exactly
It frustrates me! They don’t get their due
I love this soundtrack theme, one of the many great soundtracks written by Elmer Bernstein. The movie is dated, but still pretty good, with Sinatra and Eleanor Parker. Sweet shows here that they were more than just a TOTP band. Musikladen has some of the best 70's concert footage. No lip-synching bullshit. Mick Tucker is amazing
In my opinion Mick Tucker is up there with John Bonham, Ian Paice, Tommy Aldridge and some more.
As a rock enthusiast, for over forty-five years. I would say, Mick was one of the top twenty drummers in rock history. Sweet was typecast as a teeny-bop band. In reality, Andy was an exceptional guitar player, Brian in his day, an exceptional singer, and Steve, an exceptional bass player. Musically, I loved Desolation Blvd, and Give Me A Wink. With Desolation more hard rock, less glitzy. More street. Give Us A Wink, was more polished, a little more Hollywood. Overall, after these two albums, the band fell into chaos from internal power struggles, that plagued most bands of this era. Too much booze, chicks, money, and egos collided. Overall, the Sweet has always been one of my faves, since I was thirteen in 75.
These three are really having a good time, and sound good...
Andy Scott is the best guitarist 💥💥💥
