Awesome! Sara Lee on bass, and the late great Robert Quine tearing it up on the guitar. The guitar work by Quine (and Richard Lloyd) on both the albums "Girlfriend," and "Altered Beast" were the perfect compliment to Sweet's songs during this period. Quine, a self-admitted curmudgeon by nature, and perhaps the most unassuming looking guitar god of his generation, produced a unique sound almost akin to a whipping steel cable that was as soulful as it was powerful. He's missed.

This is so awesome to see Robert Quine playing guitar on this -- he was absolutely amazing!! fggrimes describes Quine perfectly...

That appears to be Pat Mastelotto (XTC, King Crimson, Mr. Mister, David Sylvian) on drums.

Now, I don't want to go off in a tangent but, wasn't Dennis Miller one of the greatest??? until he meet Al Micheals?

Nobody rocked a sport coat & sunglasses harder than Robert Quine.

Or a Stratocaster for that matter.

@ChicagoZini Yeah. Quine felt he got mixed off of the 2nd Sweet album and that he told Sweet he would never work with him again...although I think he softened that stance a little later.

There's a great interview of Quine by Jason Gross that'll explain the Sweet/Reed conflicts. It's still on the web and a Google search will turn it up easily.

@markjsound Dennis has always been the same, even Al Franken will tell you that. If you used to like him, you've probably become the closed minded d-bag.
