[Uwirubi]

[sownzgr8]

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Sensational version - i gotta get this album! PLease load a few more

[mancitypreston]

Great Album - Great band

[bonuzround]

Heathen brought me here!

[tiagofernandesc]

demais!

[diagreen]

thanx.

[kardacstenfot]

Saxon did a cover of this song, but Sweets version is much better :)

[first2nd2002]

Drumming intro reminds me of Purple's Fireball.

[busikugeh]

Что за Лажа

[john111257]

this was on the sweet fa album...great lp

[PAULLONDEN]

«BASS» overload ;]

[evtsandrasbveninde]

Sounds like the late years, Brians voice got injured, I think he was in a fight and got wounded. Man these guys rocked

[TheChugulator]

Sehr Gut!!!

[DougsterTx]

What year was this song recorded? Not the original...this one...

[strangersound]

This is super extra beyond wicked cool. Far out. Made my day. :)

[mazakman1957]

You got taste man..I listened to all their stuff as it came out, You have to be close to the last generation who knew of them. This was in their later years. They went from a glam-rock band like Queen or T-Rex to being one of the fore-runners of thrash metal type stuff.

Check out their early stuff!

[strangersound]

@mazakman1957

Thanks for luring me back over here. :)

[ujamin2]

Wow, Differnet version I never heard before. Great job... Loved it!

SWEET was my 1st concert back in 1974 I was in 4th grade and the concert cost $6 I just turned 44 today so this is a nice B-day present.. Thank You!

[michaelstmark]

Mick @ the apex of his considerable drumming powers here ... Brian meanwhile singing like a high-powered Roger Daltry.

[pepik87]

Wow!!! I was 11 years old when I heard this band for the first time......Great Band!!!! A lot a good memories

[Chrisee303]

R.I.P. Brian Connolly

R.I.P. Mick Tucker

You are living on in our hearts!!!

[dietmarbaer]

Sweet war eine echt gute Band !

[mpc3po]

the graphics and editing in this cheezy homeade vid are hella gay...

[grgoldner]

Many- and I mean many bands copied these guys.

[kcsnakebite]

Nice raw vocals from the late BC i agree about the overload of keyboards great harmonies and drumming too!

[ofunch]

Great...Where did you get this ? And who´s playin the keybord ?

[taxirock]

it´s from a CD called

"The private collection"

Andy played keyboard on "Sweet Fanny Adams" and i think so he did here.

[strangersound]

@taxirock

Kudos for sharing. I love it.

[vc11]

@taxirock

its a private recording of a rehearsal for the Level Headed Tour, recorded 4 December 1977. Gary Moberly is the guest musician on keyboards.

[taxirock]

@vc11 Thanks a lot for this information. :-)

[vc11]

@ofunch

It's a recording of a rehearsal before their Level Headed tour in 1978. Guest player Gary Moberly is on keyboards.

[eartant]

2:07 is a funny pic- they look downright 'MOD'- I've dug this band since I was 10.

[Diddyknox]

That's the classic Rock'n Roll.......great!!! The most classic band...and the best real rock'n roll band

BRASIL ROCK'N ROLL

[vyrewatch12321]

nice!!!!

[Firefred1]

This clip is NOT lame, it's good. Thank you.

[hellrideryah]

[Timthecommie]

[glamrockfan22]

[taxirock]

[Keksdose42]

[iFabianRS]

@glamrockfan22 You punk.

[vc11]

@glamrockfan22

hmmm maybe; but not when you know what you're listening to... ;-)

[intuantu]

@glamrockfan22 For a rehersal board tape, it's excellent.

[alanvking]

The drums at the beginning sound a bit like the intro to Fireball by Deep Purple.

[Fartdemon]

listen to the drums - amazing!

[malistrom]

I think this is Saxon, not sweet. I know Saxon did a cover version of this song.

[stevieVantanna]

So they were a hard rock band and then changed to a more bubblegum band?

[intuantu]

They were always heavy live. Their early pop singles were written for them, but they alway put a self-penned rock song on the b-side. They put out 8 great hard rock albums between '74 - '81, but also did a soft rock album in '78 that "Love is Like Oxygen" came from.

[Piegas]

No, they were a bubblegum band and then changed to a harder rock sound.

[beamerZ]

totally rocks.

Love Brain singing so rough

[DonsonDK]

Tough version

[Uwirubi]

That was so horny music...I love it for the rest of my live !!!

[merchanoscar]

The sound of this song is better that the original.

[asabola]

Neat never heard this before!

[daintytaxi]

Fuckin' superb!

[likapilika]

uol --'

[pepik87]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!The sweet

[fugoy]

is this a live version?

[PAULLONDEN]

This is rerecorded shite,

give me thé original anyday.!

[taxirock]

it´s only a rough studio cut....

without to much overdubs...

[PAULLONDEN]

Sorry...I think you're right....

This is actually the demo,

where Phil Wainman ,yet had to

sprinkle some stardust over.

[cajenny12]

Doesn´t sound like Mick on drums!

Isn´t this something like "Brians SWEET"?

Rough studio cut...well there was 2 guitars on the melodyline there!?

[intuantu]

This is a board tape from a rehearsal for Sweet's '77 tour. i think the keyboardist is Gary Moberley. And yes, that's Mick!

[1MustHave1UserName]

1977 sounds right, I got some of this stuff SOMEWHERE on the net and OH YEAH, That's Mick!!

MAN!! This band was SO great!! They kicked more ass than a 6 legged mule!!

Wink was a MONSTER album, some heavy playing on there.

Sad that they'll never make music again with Brian AND Mick gone.

RIP The Sweet!!

[dylanfan1969]

This band reminds me of Spinal Tap.

[Rakete64]

....yeeaaah, this is it, wow, one of my favorites, that`s speed, so cool, I love it very much, thank`s for posting these real H-E-R-O-E-S of music!!!!

[peaceialist]

Fabulous, thanks so much for posting!!!!!!!!!!!

[cassam]

This is not the original track in the Sweet Fanny Album, but very good too. I believe which Set Me Free is closer to Flight of The Rat of Deep Purple.

[partygirlvero]

you dont now what your talking abouit

[ManoNegraCG]

Heard this song lots of times by Heathen and Saxon and loved it, but never the original. Brilliant!

[soozun]

This is so cool. I think it is activating the higher functions of my brain. I'm seeing in all 64 colors of the crayola spectrum. Sweet is so cool! Sweet rocks so hard!!!!

[funkemariechen62]

Liveaufnahmen sind immer noch die Besten Danke Beate

[gazzzza]

Love the Sweet ,this song Set Me Free , wow so close to Fireball from Deep Purple ,run both tracks at the same time and both sample each others songs ,freaky both great tracks

[xxxstonie]

Never heard this version before....Super.

MORE MORE MORE.

[2monaros]

WOW! Well done!I have Live & Rare..need to get this stuff...didn't know it existed.This band started my passion for hard + heavy back in the 70s,they have inspired many Metal legends!

[Ulai777]

Very Deep Purple....ish? Song really rocks, heavy stuff

[doomer79]

Purple ish indeed friend!!! Great comment!!!!

[Alex7Sheva7]

Awesome!!!!!Great Sweet!!!!Great scotish band!!!

[taxirock]

from "The private collection" issued 1995 by "receiver records"...

[svaran]

cheers man thanks for posting, I was lucky enough to see Mick tucker when he and andy toured here in 86 with paul day. Mick Tucker along with Ian Paice is the best drummer I've seen play live.

[svaran]

where's this from? very very cool man!

[darkstar153]

DUDE YOU GOT SOME GOOD SKILLZ...LOL

[spiritof70]

Furious. Desperate like a rapid fire. Keyboard´s solo tripping. Drum & Guitar & Bass seems a H-Bomb. Great!!!

[Spiccatoarco]

More Sweet, please.

[kdemarsh]

Wow, hade no idea Mick was that good!

[firecatstef]

I could have wished for Brian to be more on tune on that version, but the bridge is pretty cool. Great photo montage.

[gigipo]

AWESOME, again! I particularly love the 'Pink Floyd' piano effect. =) Too cool. Makes me wanna root head down in my old toybox for my black light and 'those' posters again! *LOL* WOW, I'm remembering the headaches already. Ach du meine gute! Mutti! Ich hab ein Bauchweh. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! =)

[RockbertoRocks]

Excellent!

[TigerlilyLoamsdown]

You'd do that for me? Thats so- well, Sweet. lol Just happens to be one of my favorites too....my nick is something else for sure. Long story how I got it. I'll tell you sometime!

[roennie]

Damn This Is Awesome...Thanks!

[taxirock]

Thx again Tigerlilyloamsdown..(what a Nick)..perhaps I´ll do "SWEET F.A." from the CD especially and only for you...

[TigerlilyLoamsdown]

Once again, great stuff. From one fan to another-thanks!!!!
