i saw Brian in the Pivillon in Ayr Scotland not long after this was made and met him back stage after the gig he was a quivering wreak !!! could hardly speak with out a tremmer in his voice and had to be helped on stage by 2 guys who propped him up against the mic stand he was the only original member. But i'll tell straight when he opend his mouth and started singing every hair on my body stood on end he was fecking AWESOME HE HAD NOT LOST A THING !!! best gig i have ever been to

@PeatLoaf1 Hi there. This documentary shows all what you are talking about. Brian was a great talent, who deserved better!!!

Brian didn't have Parkinson's .After his series of heart attacks (due to alcohol abuse) his body was weakened and when he then(at a later date ) had a bout of unrelated illness, it adversely affected his spine .I think that this is what caused him to shake.Brian also suffered damage to his ankle when he was involved in a serious car crash :this effected the way that he walked.Brian is now with the 'Great Physician ' R.I.P BC !

I've watched all three parts now. Tragic, but greatly produced documentary. Sadly - he's shaking, can barely walk and has a bit indistinctive speech and looks totally washed out. Like he was 90 years old. But directly whenever you see him, you know there's no one like him. He was totally original.

Brain reminds me of my mother when she was 50. The drinking caused her to have a lot of the same medical effects he was dealing with. RIP to both.

i was 17 when Sweet hits the charts with *funny funny * not my style .

FROM wig wam bam where chin and chapman let the band play their own music , that s the beginning in my opinion .bECAUSE there were troubles in Belgium , i never was a perform of them .... too sad .Brian got beaten up by some guys in june 74 , they thought he was trying to steal their girls .They kicked im very badly in the throat .And some keys were to high but still he stands .To sad to see him at the age of 52 looks old

This is a very "doubtful" video. =p

I've watched about 3 different documentries on Sweet. This band was a collection of good musicians, that met and worked their way up during changing times. Steve seems like he was the muse of the group. Brian was very personable to the media & fans. Mick was an ultra-pro drummer, 1975 drum solo still lives in my sole. Andy fit the lead guitar, like Steve with his bass, excellent match! Too bad we lost Brian and Mick, RIP, judging by comments on all videos "Sweet", neither is forgotten!!!

Reall enjoyed and admired the Sweet in many ways-excellent musicians and writers,performers.

Just a sad documentary about how the slimy music biz can eat you alive and practically take your soul before you're even dead. I've been a professional musician a few times in my life,,but gave up touring and just play sporadically.

Vicious game is music. I love music but HATE the lifestyle.

RIP Brian and Mick
