@mazakman1957 the harmonies were so similar to queen it was frightening, im a huge queen fan but i will so admit sweet albums here in the states that were available like give us a wink desolation boulevard, off the record were so on par with consistancy even more so in queens releases such as hot space a kind of magic, sweet had a way more powerful yet harmonic sound then queen did it is a shame brian couldnt get his drinking under control

flipfloplogic you’re dead right! So many vids of the great Sweet performing for stupid people…some of the German shows are unbelievable – especially the audience at the Beer Festival, where the crowd look like they wouldn’t know rock music if it slapped them in the face.

@carmel1956 I think it’s appropriate that he should look that way because of the content of the song. However, the audience are a bit gormless. Headbanging had not been invented ,so what can they do but just listen to the song.

Well said..they WERE rock as it WAS then as much as any other band of the 70′s.
I used to argue with a friend back then – I told him Queen was trying to steal their sound, he said it was the opposite. But they were similar in many ways.
They belong in the hall of fame as least as much as Aerosmith anyway.

Great song from a much underrated legendary band – Brian Connolly best front man ever.

Brian looks a bit pissed off that the audience are not being more responsive?

Def Leppard are second division compared to Sweet. Def Leppard were just “The Mutt Lange Show”

These were the original guys, great stuff was the ’70s.

Bands try to imitate of recent decades, never beaten

Give Us a Wink is such an underrated album! “Yesterday’s Rain”, “White Mice”, “4th of July” and…well, shit, pretty much the whole album is just great!

Youtube is great for finding old and great bands like THE SWEET. It reminds me of my teen years running around town in a tiny Honda car with Michael Stipe (he loved Ballroom Blitz and Sweet) the whole glam rock scene before he found punk rock and PattiSmith. The rest is history.
