Sweet featuring Ritchie Blackmore - All Right Now (Live 1976)

http://sweetsfannyadams.blogspot.com/
.
During a Sweet gig in Santa Monica, California, Blackmore got up on stage and jammed together with Sweet at the end of the concert. Sweet played the Free classic "All Right Now". They dedicated the song to Paul Kossoff who was on his way to play there as Brian said, but tragically had died just few days earlier on a flight from New York to Los Angeles, on March 19th 1976.
Paul Francis Kossoff, Free's inspirational blues-rock guitarist, died of a drug-induced heart attack, at the very young age of 25.
Dedicated to the memory of the great old rock from the 70's, the real Sweet, Brian Francis Connolly, Michael Thomas Tucker and Paul Francis Kossoff.

Blackmore is a hero. And I've loved the Sweet since Kindergarten. The idea of them on stage together is heavenly. But geez, these cats are really off their musical game here. And it's not like it's the toughest song in the world to play either.

:D I think they were all drunk or just exhausted that night. LOL

It was the last minute deal and the end of the concert, but hell, it's still a little piece of anthology ;)

@blueleadguitar - on the vid of "Set Me Free" I noticed a copy of an album cover lamenting on Ballroom Blitz, and that pretty much placed & tied a bow on it !!! Damn sure heard (of) them, but ... As I said minutes ago, in that decade there was an incredible amount of talent. So many were transitory, others were one hit wonders, one-off collaborations, etc. Check out the "Bios/Family Tree" at thehighwaystar d_o_t com - a great source of info.

@blueleadguitar - "NEVER heard of Sweet? wow, where have you been? lol" .... clearly under a rock or somethin' ... {8?). There is something resembling familiarity in the cerebral fog, but am not sure if it is just power of suggestion or long forgotten memories. Ironically, I have a very good memory including for details. What a decade (68-76) that was. Damn ... 34+ years already flown by, and I feel every one in my bones ... :(. I recall Set Me Free - tks for the suggestion. Cheer(io)s... 8?).

@cast390 Because Scottish singers are among the very best... my personal favorite was Jimmy Dewar, who was a good Christian man and the inimitable voice of the Robin Trower band for many years.

RIP Jimmy
