[twelvemeister]

mick tucker is my favourite drummer of all time

[Quickmixmusic]

Mick's legendary Bravo Shirt :)

[lewisner]

The crowd have these rock gods on stage and they're all looking at the ceiling like "Ooh look there's a camera up there"?

[paulhamerton1]

15 years today we lost Brian i hope he and Mick are rocking together in heaven RIP

[byron8181]

Woah!!!! This should have been a number 1.

Brilliant song and Brian looks amazing!! What a vocalist he was. 

[menno63de]

Mick Tucker, one of the best Drummer ever. Love his style.

[chrisredditch]

My favourite Sweet track. The guitar licks are superb!

Like the Beatles, they are still 50% intact!

[chancergordy]

Do you think Brian Connolly looked like Mark McManus from Taggart, the tv detective?

He shouldn't! there were stories that they were half brothers but it's not true.

[RockPopHymenSammler]

What an fantastic Version: BEST BAND OF THE 70`S!!!

[edgroove7]

GREAT days so much quality music in the charts then_most of literally.Today you got black guys and wannabe black singing girls(white girls copying all black girls singing sty;e_ and doing songs with no melody. Pathetic!!

Sweet kicked arse!!!! Tommy Lee ripped off Mick so much!

[intuantu]

@edgroove7 except Tommy could never do all those awesome snare rolls of Mick's!

[edgroove7]

@intuantu you have total agreement on this end my friend!! Tommy Lee's drum solosoften suck! I suppose you've heard Micks entire drum solos on here

If you haven;t he was fucking brilliant !

[RamonesKaraoke]

I totally love this song.

[strangersound]

The show's Intro for the win. Funk overload. :)

[kevthegerbil1958]

Get some action 5 *****

[bluepowder2008]

stunning song by one of the uk greatest bands of all time...........

[sweetbrian051045]

@bluepowder2008

You show great taste....I'm glad to know others love 'em as much as I do.

[alcockell]

Hmmm - that guitar solo does sound reminiscent of Brian May...

[intuantu]

@alcockell Yes, and Brian May's sound is similar to Andy's approach on recordings that pre-date Queen. Lot of cross-pollenation between these two bands.

[davyboy62]

@intuantu too true .check out burn on the flame of sweet fanny adams lp .andy scott was really underated...

[intuantu]

@davyboy62 I've checked out Burn on the Flame...to death! That might be my favorite Sweet song!

[xena6268]

the one the only brian connolly gorgeous from top to toe xxx

[NicBunnymen]

One of the GREATEST BANDS EVER.

[sweetbrian051045]

@NicBunnymen

Yes they were one of the GREATEST BANDS EVER but they're not remembered and valued as they should be!

[05francis10]

The Sweet are( for me) the best Rock Band ever. Thanks for sharing this great vid!

R.I.P. Brian and Mick

[vicsmith5000]

Indifferent audience reaction !!! Bit too heavy for the 15 year old girls eh ? I bought this in 75 and on the B-side was another gem "Sweet FA". Great band !!

[Tony200861]

RIP Mick Tucker - I had the pleasure to meet him on a number of occasions, brill guy, died far too young.....

[Kentikki]

This was a brilliant rock song - not as goos as Turn It Down - but brilliant none the less!

[stratfanatic]

Fuckin great... I dunno, kids today. They don't know they're born.

[puggti306]

THIS IS BLOODY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[footballferret88]

fuck the bay city rollers these were the boys

[asd36f]

Love the gradual out-tro!

[NeilThompson30]

Specially re-recorded for TOTP! - incredible performance - what a band

[thepinktent]

funny how all the glam acts are in the lower reaches of the charts-75 was the end of the road pretty much for slade, t.rex, sweet, gary glitter, mud..

[addadiktome]

an audience of f***ing zombies. they look like they don't even know what they are doing there. come on people this is a high energy song. your suppossed to be flipping out! i don't know how the sweet delt with that crap.

[makwabid69]

@addadiktome ...that's because the little shites attending TOTP were jaded by 1975, plus...the backing vocals and the keyboards and a lot of the guitar parts were obviously 'canned'. But I feel your pain...this IS a high energy song, and it stands the test of time, so much so, Def Leppard covered it with homage in the 90's...

[pechowiec13]

To jest super muzyka, takiej to warto posłuchać.

Pozdrawiam.

[jkrene2]

geniales , lo mejor

[GTWHITEFEVER]

The best ....

[bajskorvolle94]

skitbra

[conwayt100]

What a cracking song and band! I forgot how good they were.

[IndisputableAttitude]

This guys are breath taking. I loved every second of it. Check out the cool see-through guitar btw.

[Rozzyable]

Sweet Were The First True Heavy Metal Band, in my opinion Give Us A Wing is heavier than for example Black's Sabbath's "Technical Extasy". Long Live Sweet!

[isgren8]

@Rozzyable

Hey Rozzyable - I could not agree more with you re Give Us A Wink - it is really a fantastic album - I have it in the car right now and I can just hear it over and over again

I really cannot say which is my favorite Sweet Album - I think that each have their own style, Sweet Fanny Adams a true Heavy Rock Album, Desolation Boulevard kind of back to basic album, Give us A Wink I already commeted on, Level Headed really shows how great musicians they in fact was

[Wolli1960]

24-07-75 - my 15th birthday. Thanx for this clip.

[4und20sterJuli1975]

@Wolli1960...me too, but my first day on earth....:)

[Nosmos]

Audience were excited during that weren't they!?!?

[XDKatya]

OH MY GOD I'm loving this, thanks for uploading such an excellent quality video!! =D

[RetroCool73]

Shame the man who made the best Sweet TOTP performances (Steve Priest) spoils this one

[SounzNice]

what a treat thanks

[Glamking1]

This is the same performance that holds from the Glam Rock 2 VHS. but it still although had the caption for the next two seconds.

[RobinCarmody]

Not everyone thinks this is proto-punk. But they should. An awesome burst of power that deserved far better than Def Leppard's dreadful cover.

[Aquaseventytree]

There speaks a Bon Jovi fan, no doubt.

[thestunningmisskansa]

@RobinCarmody Black 'n Blue did an absolutely kickass version of this great song on their debut album. Totally agree with you the DL's version blew badly!!
