Brian und Steve von THE SWEET live und privat 1994

[MrTHEKANE29]

The video is great.. but unfortunately too short...

[hollywoodfee]

@MrTHEKANE29 Ja ich finde auch viel zu kurz von Brian kann man einfach nicht genug bekommen

[musicfreak1967]

It's nice to see Brian and Steve here again together on stage. Unfortunately, this would have been the last common gig. Thank you that you have uploaded this rare video footage. All the best from Germany.

@deescottmusic: why it was never what? Probably it was realized that the time for the Sweet was finally over.

[nwleeuw]

The original Sweet were brilliant, they did a lot off tremendous rock and pop songs!!

[womansweetstuf]

1994? I thing no!

[plastikbertrand]

The worst thing that happened to Sweet was Chinn and Chapman, but saying that I loved Sweet as a teenager in the early 70's, A piece of the action was my favourite and it was written by the lads.

[ahabello]

No, was the insuccess of the first songs....for this reason they got Chinn/Chapman

[thepinktent]

@plastikbertrand they wouldn't have made it without chin/chapman-in their own words! also, it would have deprived us glitter babies of some of the most fabby glam moments...

[superrsoakerr]

@thepinktent are u kidding??? Their BEST stuff is their OWN stuff hands down.

[thepinktent]

@plastikbertrand Be serious will ya! Without Chin & Chapman they would never had made it. Period. I've seen recent Sweet shows-its the hits that bring the house down.

[deescottmusic]

Warum ist daraus nie wieder was geworden?

[slider876]

dont feel sorry for them . rejoice them they had 7 number ones in germany and were huge sweet forever

[fluffywoof]

I saw them this particular year at Ayrshire, a Butlins camp. Bri performed fantastic on stage, but obviously clearly unwell. RIP xx

[andersnuuu]

Did you see Brian and Steve performe together?

[CatherineInRock]

I love this band so much! And their story is so sad for me. They could have been so much more. So much bigger. So much happier.. In the UK, they are remembered for all the wrong reasons, if at all... It breaks my heart to think of how it turned out to be...

[isgren8]

@CatherineInRock

I could not agree more with you

[ThePaistecat]

Wow, that's something. As for all the rifts, and Steve's character flaws, and Andy, I don't really care. I'm such a big fan they can do almost anything, they are Sweet! I had a very large collection of Sweet memorabilia, and I was trying to meet Steve and give it to him, but no luck. I missed his recent gig near here, I had a gig myself. Someday I'll meet him, and maybe Andy.

[Dawn1959]

I still love seeing Steve grab ahold of Brian at the end of this video,its just so awesome! The wonderful memories of Sweet will never die.

[astonmerrygoldfan09]

Dawn1959 you are right. I was going to say exactly the same thing and then I checked out the comments and saw yours about Steve putting his arm around Brian at the end... it just melts my heart, especially Brian's warm reaction. I can't stop looking at it. R.I.P. my darling Brian Connolly, you'll NEVER be forgotten.

[above18y0utub3r]

looks like steve was still pretty chummy with brian :) steve's book says andy was a prima donna (who often stormed off set) . oddly, mick went along with andy's sweet

[SuezySweet]

Steve has always been very fond of Brian. When Steve called me to tell me of Brian's passing he was so upset. He had lost a "brother".

[biddymagee]

one of the most underated bands of all time..

[cindysk8er]

Liver problems are no fun. He couldn't have felt good. But what a good sport. He seemed to have a sweet spirit, what a shame we lost him.

[Nigelcf]

R.I.P. Brian.

[clairabell08]

great vid... just out of curiousity.. did brian ever stop drinking an excessive amount beofre he died?

[PokemonTrainer007]

Brian stopped drinking somewhere in the 80's, but he was too highly damaged and he died in 1997.

[Nosferatu1968]

Ich verstehe nicht, weshalb jedes Mitglied seine eigene Sweet-Formation gegründet hat. Wäre es nicht schöner gewesen, wenn die vier (als Brian und Mick noch lebten) wieder zusammen gekommen wären und ggf. an neuen Songs gearbeitet hätten?

[wicanders]

Great clip...

[iorr63]

Sorry - eigentlich wollte ich auf den Eintrag von "Schilderich" antworten. Das hat wohl nicht geklappt.

[Gerbear70]

wow, no fighting...stee is actually smiling. Interesting why Steve left the limelght.  Brian actually looks better than steve at this point. Steve recently toured in 2008 as Sweet, but even though the band is tight it isn't the same. I appreciate the band for what it was like people do of JFK...remember them in their glory with great fondness!

[celinebritgirl]

Very sorry to hear that you haven't seen your Grandfather. Thanks so much for posting this video. I just loved this band and I'll always remember the tunes. Tell your Mom thanks for sharing. I hope your Mom and you and your Grandfather mend the rift soon. Take care

[4162661670]

hey it was great to see steve out gigging but i hope he can last the tour he looks really in ill health much almost identical in looks and body to by brother who passed away two years ago...

[Schilderich]

Es ist total rührend Brian und Steve so beieinander zu sehen.

[iorr63]

Da gebe ich Dir recht. Für mich waren Sweet Mitte der 70er die Heroes schlecht hin. Wenn ich mir die heutigen Auftritte der verbliebenen Bandmitglieder Andy Scott und (noch schlimmer) Steve Priest anschaue - einfach erschütternd. Weder die eine noch die andere Gruppierung dürfte den Namen "Sweet" tragen! Brian Conolly und Mick Tucker würden sich im Grab umdrehen. Man sollte die (musikalische) Vergangenheit einfach ruhen lassen. Sweet waren zu ihrer Zeit nämlich die Besten.

[R100865]

Sweet war die beste Band die es jemals gab

[fomeey]

i am his daughter lisa priest,this was my wedding may 14th 1994,although it was fantastic to watch them perform toghether, it was unfortunate,as they were all invited, but mick was ill, and andy {well no comment}

my son is not a liar,he is quite innocent to understand just how popular the sweet were,and he is far from a loving caring dad/grandad,

[Deadlyhallow]

I think, that Andy has a somewhat difficult character. P.e. he needs a new singer all 4 years, and he had sacked Jeff Brown, who was perhaps the best singer of Sweet after BC, without a reasonable cause.

[eflint1]

That breaks my heart,Lisa. I hope your family can be reunited in love again soon. I am a minister and I say that from a pastor's heart.

[4162661670]

hi lisa my name is thomas big fan of your dads band since the mid seventies and iam still today . Good to see your dad out gigging how is is health these days i hope the touring does not take to much a toll i know some of these guys like to think they are twenty one again but the numbers dont add up hope to hear back from u some day thomas...

[gerlillu]

i am sorry your dad is not a good grandfather...i love the "sweet", but didn't really know the faces of the members and now i know what great showmen they were...too bad they can't be good family members. your poor son...

[SuezySweet]

Hello Lisa and Jordan! I am Suezy a friend of your dad/granddad and I ran the US Sweet Fanzine back in the 90's. I was very honored to cover your wedding back then. I remember the day Steve called and told me he had his first grandchild!! He was very proud!

[astonmerrygoldfan09]

Lucky you! Did you know Brian as well? Pls tell us more - you must have a wealth of info to give!

[astonmerrygoldfan09]

Hi fomeey/ Lisa -I have just read your comment of a year ago about your Dad, Steve Priest...I am so sorry to read that he is not 'a loving caring/ grandad' - it's his loss! Hope you can rise above your sadness - I will be thinking of you. Love from Dublin

[hollywoodfee]

@fomeey Gibt es eigentlich mehr von Deiner Hochzeit zu sehen ich finde es klasse das sich Brian und Dein Vater noch so gut verstanden haben. Warumsind sie als Band nicht mehr zusammen gekommen?? Sie waren in den 70ern das beste was es gab, und Dein Vater ist in allen Videos immer der lustigste

[Dawn1959]

Thanks for posting this,Steve stuck by Brian during his rough times and Andy crapped on him.Loved his band,miss Brian and Mick dearly.Tell Steve we will always remember the ORIGINAL SWEET not AS stealing the Sweets name.Rock on Steve,we love ya.

[fomeey]

[RetailUnion]

[wayneschlaegal]

[R100865]

schön die beiden nochmal zusammen zu sehen,bevor brian starb

[kittyp1]

They played together because it was the wedding of Steve´s eldest daughter and Brian was invited.

[PokemonTrainer007]

Sorry for the Tripplepost, i am correcting my dirst post. Brian died within 3 years.

[PokemonTrainer007]

By the way, he died 14 February 1997. :(

[Dawn1959]

Brian died Feb 9th 1997,Mick died Feb 14th 2002.You got your dates mixed up.

[SuezySweet]

Dawn is correct!

[PokemonTrainer007]

Brian did within 3 years. Brian, poor guy, i wish i coulded help you! You live in my hearth! :(

[fomeey]

steve is my grandad , its not a liw i swear on my mums life he is.

he lives in la now and i live in the uk and i havent herd from him since.

[glamfoxbuster]

Are you telling porkies?

[eflint1]

So you've never met your adopted little niece? I'm referring to the little Mexican girl your granddad and his wife adopted.

I hope all of you can be reunited someday. Life is short and family division sucks!!

[hollywoodfee]

@fomeey Warum siehst Du Deinen Großvater nicht mehr, das ist ja traurig zu hören.Ich kann leider kein englisch aber ich kann es wenigstens lesen. Es wäre schön wenn Du mir antworten könntest, Die Band Deines Großvaters war das Beste in den 70ern und Dein Großvater immer sehr lustig, in den Videos.Ich würde DeinenGroßvater sehr gerne mal sehen wenn er nach Deutschland kommt. Aber noch viel lieber würde ich hören das ihr Euch wieder gesehen habt. Grüße Dagmar

[PokemonTrainer007]

Wow, i never saw Brian and Steve together since they split in 1979, thanks for uploading!!

[pmsptlu]

indeed, never knew they still played together after the 79 split...this is unique !

[andersnuuu]

Thank you very much for this video!!!

I have never seen Brian and Steve playing together since the split in 1979. It´s just great to see!

Do you have more information?

Where is it?

Why did they play together?

Who are the other guys?
