The Sweet - Set Me Free -

[tylermorin1000]

i saw sweet down in mt clemons a last year for stars and strypes festible with the new line up with steve priest on bass and it was a great show the singer is great

[Badfingerbabe777]

WOW thanks for posting , this is a awesome song!! wish I had a copy to keep, Brian is so sexy!

[LORDGOAT1976]

Vince Neil did a great cover.

Sounds like Judas Priest 5 years later.

[spammyhamster]

interesting idea.. adding a little reverb/delay to make it vibe with the footage. Think you went overboard though. That slapback is pretty loud and bright.

[paulamaceio]

Man, what a audience...this kids really knew how to rock! :)

[sharkbytz]

That night Sammy Hagar opened for them, instead of a band called the nightcrawlers. Their lead singer reportedly had died just a few days pryor.

[sharkbytz]

I am fortunate to have been at the Santa Monica, Ca. show and I can tell you that they tore the place up. Mick was an outstanding drummer, with a very unique drumsolo. If you have seen Queen and thought their vocal harmonies were great well The Sweet is way above them. They played "Desolation Boulevard" start too finish and then played "Action" and were done. The absolute loudest clean sounding concert ever. Andy's lead into "Set me Free" was semi ear splitting.

super tema muy heavy q la gente se ataranta jejeje... lo maximo SWEET ETERNAMENTE... !

[Godofwolfs]

Sweet när dom låter som Priest.

Snyggt. Gillar speciellt att låten tycks börja långt före värdinnan talat klart. : )

[dirtygirlof76]

Nice to see them in a vid where they aren't lip synching.

[pernicketty]

It's great to see the slightly longer version of this clip than the one that was posted earlier but also disappointing to find that they actually ended the song prematurely. I was always hoping that one day someone would post the whole clip and we'd get the whole song. Still very grateful to you for posting it though. Many thanks!

[smfzsolt]

Yeah, so really SWEET.... Glam forever!

[MrRockaetano]

It's so sweet (no pun intended) ;-)

[fbendz]

They started as a pop band and ended as an AoR band, but in-between, they did some really heavy stuff, like this one and 'Action'.

[janlis001]

Simple as it is...That was THE SWEET!!!...And always will be THE SWEET!!!!... BRIAN, ANDY MICK, STEVE..Any Questions?...I guess, no...!

[nuclearzoo]

I've just discovered this song is from The Sweet and not from Saxon.......just 22 years after the first time I heard it.......what a shame!!

[2monaros]

He WAS the world's best drummer...R.I.P....One of the most overlooked hard rock bands ever....sure they released some real crap, but listen to the heavy stuff and it's amongst the finest you will ever hear...Brian got kicked in the throat but drugs and alcohol was the real downfall to his career.

[wonenergy]

...but sadly Brian's voice did deteriorate..probably the reason they didn't reform when offered millions to do so in the 80's!

[Juliana21948]

Man, I got chills listing to this song, awesome playing! Most magnificent!

[Fl0reKpl]

Great performance! Their best song. ;)

[bbbikesde]

-only ONE of their best !

[learnamericanenglish]

Cool! I've never heard this one before. The drumming sounds a little like 80s hardcore.

[Steve92crue]

yeh most glam bands copied sweet in this (glam metal bands from the 80s). or tommy lee copied the drums, and everyone copied tommy lee... :S

[paperclipist]

as if visiting earth from outer galaxy

[soniclady89]

Mick really was a hellofa drummer - love the double bass beats . . .

and always look forward to hearing his trademark tom fills in every song!

great song . . . . wasted on kids - but a great clip!

[pernicketty]

All of them were first class musicians and singers. Everyone wrote them off as a teenybopper band and failed to see the amazing talent that these guys had. Very few bands could equal the tight precision of their live performances.

[wonenergy]

There is no better drummer!!

[beamerZ]

Nice intro with Brian speaking.

Love to see the hole version [and the song they mention played before set me free ''deserves to be a great hit'' she says].

Great clip!

[qg1gene]

every day a new video to discover

Thank you!

[alan1kenny]

the swet at their heaviest ! great

[2monaros]

Awesome! Wish it was complete...but well done!

[funkemariechen62]

Ich höre zum 1 Mal das jemand Brian nach dem Überfall auf die Stimme anspricht. Tolles Video auch wenn es nicht live ist. Leider fehlt auch hier wieder der Rest.Trotzdem super Danke an Sweetglamrock Beate

[lemm66]

It´s just a playback but...THEY ROCK IT TO THE BONES ! The kids didnn´t have a clue...

how to clap their hands, ha ha ha

SWEET forever, thanx for this !

[svaran]

amazing clip, is it live? Thanks for posting it.

[topofthepopsguy]

Only wish more of this edition of Lift Off had survived the archive junkings ! Great that this bit survived though, thanks for posting, a real treat to see.

[Hell1974Raiser]

Brian forever und nicht zu ersetzen.

[HotShotGambler]

Was für eine genialer Song ! Einer der besten Rocksongs überhaupt !

Sweet Forever

[HotShotGambler]
