I was fortunate to have the honour of working with Mick and Andy as drum tech and driver some years back and Mick was a sweet, tallented, intelligent man and could play this drum solo with his hands tapping on a counter in a bar........unbelievable! I played that very kit , what a proveledge. I miss those times and consider Mick to be an very big influence as a drummer and a showman.

WE ALL KNOW HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST.

One of my biggest heroes!...His chops were just fantastic...he had style,looked so confident behind the kit, great showman, very tight groovin',awesome fills...a legend, rock in peace, mick!.

[MrSainttyler]

Anybody has any better quality videos of Mick or maybe the whole gig of this particular performance?

Thanks!

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED ALL TIME DRUMMERS, ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED DRUMMERS FOR ONE DRUM INTRO: THE BALLROOM BLITZ! NEAR TO THE GREATEST 60'S (OF 70'S FAME) LIKE CARL PALMER & IAN PAICE! GREAT MUSICIAN, COOL GUY, SHOWMAN & VERSALITE JAZZY DRUMMER!

I fell in love with Mick's style of playing at the age of 10, when playing "Set me free" for the 1st time, from "Sweet fanny adams" Still my favourite album of all time, and I think 1st LP I ever bought. I had the privilege of seeing him play 3 times, wish I could have seen him in the early years, but was too young. I'll never get fed up with listening and watching recordings of him playing with the other guys in Sweet. He'll always be the greatest.

IMHO Mick Tucker, Carl Palmer and Neal Peart pretty much set the standard for rock drumming for the following 30 years. I think any drummer worth his salt today who doesn't acknowledge Mick as one of of the most musical (think Bill Ward also) drummers is missing out on some really vital influences the likes of which Mick Tucker would provide. Mick was a total MONSTER!!!

@shaftsbury94 john bonham might have been in the top 20 or so, that's about as good as he was

Apologies if this has been posted before but "back in the day", you know when real music was made/played by real musicians, I watched Mick's drum solo and was both wowed and humored BECAUSE behind him on a big screen was a video of a giant banana peeling while The Stripper Song (?)played w/ a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown and BAM he exploded and the crowd went ape . THEN he played live to a pre-recorded video of himself , a' la dueling drummers. Truly groundbreaking and original. I love them still.
