@ 1:47 , Listen to the change in lyrics by Steve Priest, hahaha!

[psychkoala]

I dig their guitar style.

[gizzytiersen]

I love this. LOVE IT. They were edgy. I'd almost go as far as to say they were "proto punks". I was only 10 at the time. But my older brother saw them at Scunthorpe Baths. He said it was raucous

[tatethompson1234]

@gizzytiersen Yeah, they were a brilliant band. Your brother is very lucky to have seen them live. I woulden't mind seeing Andy Scott's Sweet but they don't tour the USA

[surfing636]

@gizzytiersen .....I saw them in 1975 in Portland, Oregon, USA. They put on a great show and spent extra money on their stage show. The drummer, Mick Tucker really shined thru in his live performance. I can hear it in this live track also!

[speakenglish1001]

hey , at least this  seems to be live unlike most the other ones on here, wish there was video

[TB1337TM]

Thumbs up if you reckon one of the people looks like Michael Jackson!

[jamumu]

This was the first concert I ever went to, 1973, I was 12 :D If it's possible to get a copy of the whole concert, I'd love you forever!

[intuantu]

Steve doe some great ad-libs. Heard one live version where he says, "she could kill you with the glint from her clitoris!"

[beroth77]

It doesn't take a lot of time really to post one show.But thanks for this one

[tatethompson1234]

@beroth77 It does. It's like 14 tracks or so, takes about 10min a video. You do the math. I have sent the whole show to a few who asked for it.

[beroth77]

@tatethompson1234 Thats ok...if you do the favor of sending me the whole show,if it is gonna be faster...than you post one by one one youtube then i can ..do the math as you say...its a very good prove that Sweet was a tottaly real and extreamely talented band cause many people dont take them seriously,this show is good to help to end this wrong concept ..

.i guess some months ago there where more songs of this show....weird now they vanished

[SchnappiHEC]

@tatethompson1234

Hey man,

would you mind sending this show too? My father and I are really love that band and this is a crazy live version :D

How you'd like to send it? Per e-mail or do you load it up on megaupload or something like that?

Tanks in advance!!

[tatethompson1234]

@SchnappiHEC I've done it by email but takes too long, only can send a few tunes at a time and I think there is 14 songs. AIM is the only way ill send it now since I can send em all faster.

[crunchyfrog555]

Absolutely certain. I guess you're American (or not so used to crap London accents), so it might not be so apparent to you. I'll have a bash at the later piece if I get chance.

[bareknuckles2u]

Holy shit, what a rockin' band. Imagine how hard it would be to play that song live, with that much energy!

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

By the way.Any idea what Mick says @ 00:14?And what does Steve blurt out at 0:45?THAT was an absolutely hilareous/priceless moment that kept me laughing for quite some time.Love this group.Thanx for posting by it the way.

[crunchyfrog555]

@MrJohnnyDistortion 00:14 "nice one" in a faux Cockney accent.



[MrJohnnyDistortion]

@crunchyfrog555 Is that what he says?You certain?What does Steve mumble at 0:44?I'd like you do decypher that mess.LOL.Steve cracks me up all the time.

[tatethompson1234]

@MrJohnnyDistortion He mess's up the lyrics so he just blurbs some words and laughs it off.

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

@tatethompson1234 Musical comedy.Love it.

[intuantu]

@MrJohnnyDistortion I'd guess it's a garbled "Not Quite" from Mick, since he dropped a stick during his intro?

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

Goose bumps.Post it all.DO IT!

[Nothinbutdafrontrow]

Are u ready Steve, Andy - ya. Mick - ok. Alright fellas. Let's GO!!

[tammy2563]

[Tigre78370]

[rocker70sman]
