I once met Brian Connolly on a tube train in London, he was on his way to start proceedings again the Sun newspaper, sadly and although he wasnt too coherent he was a nice guy and we chatted about Sweet for about 20 mins before i had to get off at my stop, sadly he died a few weeks later. His inner demons finally resting. It wasnt cool to like sweet depending who you hung with, pity... big pity because they did do some good poppy stuff.
@berserker40258 That's the problem, there are 1000's of great songs you have never heard before. Keep looking around, there are more great songs that are forgotten than are known by most under 25
@BinLadenMustDie368 I hear yah, my grandfather played this song on his car radio back in 2006 when I was 3 on the way to Saudi Arabia and Canada when the Russians sold China vodka 2 keep their citizens stupid & not caring about Sharia Law during the earthquake of 1955 when Lady Ga Ga released this song in Iran with Osama & Obama producing as producers. If u listen closely u can hear Osama on the background vocals. He sings the high part while Obama reads him the Koran. It was a brave epic feat!
There is no sound like this. It's as original as the Philadelphia Princesses ( the Three Degrees) and as original the voice of Grace Slick and Jackie Wilson. Perfect.
@spikeman14 You gotta be kidding. I used to have a better version than this. But so far I can't it anywhere. Not on You Tube, Limewire, or anything yet. Well if this is the original version, it's not the best version.
@MasterDonny1 Im not kidding you, however I fully disagree, this IS the best version. Sure there have been some great covers, such as Girlschool who brought an 80's metal flair to the song, but none can touch this classic song!
hahahaha at a minute roughly when the keys cut back in and the guy pretends to play it, then just moves his hands away and plays the air. For some reason I laughed so hard at that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Doubt away BlockBasstard... But yor sister and mum said I was the best fuck they have ever had.
Your mum said that is the first time she had ever felt a cock touch the sides of here HUGE cunt.. I must admit it was like a Hippos yawn but I still managed to "Fill her"
used to wait all evening for this to come over the crackling airwaves of Radio Luxembourg...still get the feeling, still get the goose bumps... (and getting laid never entered my mind or my pants for that matter)...ha ha ! Rock On!!!
Well believe me we did get laid!!! My hair was long and blonde, like Brians, in fact its still long and blonde, not bad for 53.!! I was looking at peoples clothes the other day strangely enough. My partener and i both commented on how boring the young guys clothes are today... all dark and drab. I wore, and still do, bright colours I had over 100 shirts all different designs, from chinese characters, to girls in bikinis.. I thank God I was a teen in the 70's!!!!
More power to you brother. I was born in 62 so I missed the "getting laid" part till 78. But I did have my share of bell bottoms, poly shirts and platform shoes.
That being said I still feel bad for girls back then as I think we looked like Dorks, myself included.
Don't think the girls today have it any better, what with all the Goofy kids with their baggy britches and retarded hair cuts.
This is primo cheese - the tacky clothes augmented by the ridiculous hairstyles and the ultra-high pitched backing vocals. I remember being obsessed with this song in 5th grade during the limburger-laden '70s.
I'm like dying here lol. I'm just especially in love with Steve's voice when he sings by himself. They all are just sooo amazing...its hard to think of the words to express them right so I'm just gonna stick with beautiful and amazing lol. Their harmony is just wow.<3Soo perfect.
I love them all =]]<3.
Mick and Brian are gone but Sweet's music will live on forever<3
Sweet sprinkled a lot of enjoyment on us poor beleaguered pre-credit mangled Brits in the, initially optimistic, early 70's, and throughout 3 day weeks and late 70's strikes. Then, suddenly, they were gone. Along with the 70's. Fitting really. But japes, crikes, what japes! They were great.
This performance was repeated on uk gold in 1993 and because it had no stupid captions or stupid comments. that performance was shown twice in 1975 and sadly Brian and Mick have passed away for now!
i think people were so thiny there because food was way more natural, more on the food back on those days was organic, now you have to pay extra if you want to eat "organic" food, why people are more fat today? i guess it's because all those hormones they give to the animals, the non-organic plant fertilizers and the mutant chikens from kfc, that's my point of view
to mainzer60 i respect the fact u can speak in your own languange but whats the point of doing that cause nobody can read it and this is kinda america lol
Hmmm 19 posts on this vid and you are over half of them.. may i ask why you are commenting so much?? Is it that you like to boast on how much you love sweet?? Well plz dont take up all the space on this vid....
Firstly vids on youtube don't have space, the amount of comments can go on for ages, and secondly most of my comments were from when i was talking with other youtubers on the topic of Sweet.
I realise there isn't a limited amount of space, but your comments seem to take up a lot of the page.. And you say you were talking with others about sweet, when you have 8 comments in a row, looks like your having more of a conversation with yourself than anyone else.
Well if you click on 'view comments' and see where i've commented and in response to who, you'll see it was actually a conversation. It was also one that ended 3 months ago, and until today i hadn't commented on it since then anyway.
Well, i'd like to know where here i have posted 8 times in a row. The most i can see that i've posted in a row here is 3, and that is because i had a lot to say to who i was speaking to.
I have four original comments that weren't replies to other comments, and they were based on different things, all to do with Sweet. The most replies to a comment that i have put on this vid are the ones in response to spikeman14's comment up above, and there's only 3 of them. So i really haven't commented eight times in a row. And the video owner obviously doesn't have a problem with that, or he would have removed them.
I really am going to go and see Andy Scott's Sweet. He may be the only one from here in it, but he's an excellent musician, and so are the other guys he's got with him. Because of Brian and Mick's deaths, the closest thing to a reunion would be if the band had Andy and Steve Priest in it (judging by this video he could take over as singer!). If Steve rejoined, the band could be called Sweet again, as Andy wasn't a founding member (Frank Torpey was the original guitarist).
It's strange how the guitarists of this band write more than anyone else, Andy had more song credits than any other member. Mick Stewart was a ey writer before him as well. This band influenced the likes of Iron Maiden and Def Leppard! Leppard's version of Action is sweet!
Steve was great but why is he your personnal favourite? I don't have one, they're all excellent! He is the only surviving original member now except for original guitarist Frank Torpey. He should rejoin Sweet and give some meaning to the name! How can they continue without him?
That is incorrect...Steve priest is still alive and so is the guitarist andy scott, and who is frank torpey. hes not an orignal sweet member. The members are brain, mick, andy, and steve. and Andy and steve are still alive, steve lives in the US and andy scott is touring with his band "Andy Scott's Sweet"
Steve Priest is the only surviving original member that was in the classic line-up, because for your information, Sweet had two guitarists before Andy Scott joined. I never once mentioned that that either Andy or Steve were dead. The fact that Mick and Brian are dead and Frank and Steve are still alive makes the comment 'Steve Priest is the only surviving original member now except for original guitarist Frank Torpey' correct.
Their second guitarist was Mick Stewart. THEN they had Andy Scott. The band's first recordings were with Mick, so how anyone can say Andy was the original guitarist i don't know.
No, let me elaborate that last comment again. Anyone that calls themselves a Sweet fan and doesn't know how many guitarists there were in Sweet before Andy Scott doesn't know the history very well...at least not the early history.
One of my fav Sweet clips and the quality here is first rate, thanks a million for uploading this! I adore Brian's light blue outfit, suits him so well. I would love to know something really trivial: did he dye his hair or was it really that blond for real? His eyelashes certainly were incredibly fair...
As for the actual music, yeah, it's a great, pure rock song. I can't wait to hear the album version as I understand it is quite different to the actual single.
I thought this was by Ace Frehley for the last 17 years. Boy is my face red! His version is virtually indistinguishable.

The most replies to a comment that i have put on this vid are the ones in response to spikeman14's comment up above, and there's only 3 of them. So i really haven't commented eight times in a row. And the video owner obviously doesn't have a problem with that, or he would have removed them.

I really am going to go and see Andy Scott's Sweet. He may be the only one from here in it, but he's an excellent musician, and so are the other guys he's got with him. Because of Brian and Mick's deaths, the closest thing to a reunion would be if the band had Andy and Steve Priest in it (judging by this video he could take over as singer!). If Steve rejoined, the band could be called Sweet again, as Andy wasn't a founding member (Frank Torpey was the original guitarist).

It's strange how the guitarists of this band write more than anyone else, Andy had more song credits than any other member. Mick Stewart was a ey writer before him as well. This band influenced the likes of Iron Maiden and Def Leppard! Leppard's version of Action is sweet!

Steve was great but why is he your personnal favourite? I don't have one, they're all excellent! He is the only surviving original member now except for original guitarist Frank Torpey. He should rejoin Sweet and give some meaning to the name! How can they continue without him?

That is incorrect...Steve priest is still alive and so is the guitarist andy scott, and who is frank torpey. hes not an orignal sweet member. The members are brain, mick, andy, and steve. and Andy and steve are still alive, steve lives in the US and andy scott is touring with his band "Andy Scott's Sweet"

Steve Priest is the only surviving original member that was in the classic line-up, because for your information, Sweet had two guitarists before Andy Scott joined. I never once mentioned that that either Andy or Steve were dead. The fact that Mick and Brian are dead and Frank and Steve are still alive makes the comment 'Steve Priest is the only surviving original member now except for original guitarist Frank Torpey' correct.

Their second guitarist was Mick Stewart. THEN they had Andy Scott. The band's first recordings were with Mick, so how anyone can say Andy was the original guitarist i don't know.

No, let me elaborate that last comment again. Anyone that calls themselves a Sweet fan and doesn't know how many guitarists there were in Sweet before Andy Scott doesn't know the history very well...at least not the early history.

One of my fav Sweet clips and the quality here is first rate, thanks a million for uploading this! I adore Brian's light blue outfit, suits him so well. I would love to know something really trivial: did he dye his hair or was it really that blond for real? His eyelashes certainly were incredibly fair...
As for the actual music, yeah, it's a great, pure rock song. I can't wait to hear the album version as I understand it is quite different to the actual single.

The album version is different.
As far as i know Brian was always blond, although his last name wasn't always Conolly. :)
