Nice one...
Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Nice one 👍
Hab Brian 1993 oder '94 in Dessau live erleben dürfen. Schon schwer angeschlagen, aber immer noch genial!!! Werde mich immer 😊daran erinnern, dem Idol meiner frühen Jugend auf wenige Meter nahe gekommen zu sein. R.I.P. BRIAN!
Their music makes me feel good
My mum told me that this was banned in the factory she was working in at the time as it sounded the same as the factory fire alarm!! I've always loved that story!!
Glad I was a 70s kid . A magical time in music.
Me also
I think the problem is that every avenue of rock music has been explored so it's difficult to be original any more.
I become a teenager in 72 and it was the best

God: Hold my beer.
I also a child of the 70 ten and the music of this epoch inspired me so much🤠
Sweet wasn't just a glam band, they were a damn good rock band
One of the best in their era.Michael.
I agree. Whatever you pitched at the boys, Sweet knocked it out of the park.
sweet sold 50 million records.
With a damn great lead singer!!
Up there with the finest xxxx seriously great,,dared to be differentx
Steve Priest’s campiness is hilarious, love him!! 😂
Me too! I keep binge watching him!
50 Yrs LATER,THIS IS STILL A BIG HIT 🎶
О, да это действительно так, на самом деле!
@@user-qh4pm3pe7pL♡VE THIS🎶
Да Чувак! Балрумблиц и Блокбастер! Мы кайфовали ещё при СССР
Sweet were massive from 73 to around 76. A brilliant band who were far more than just Glam Rock or bubble gum pop. Their music has stood the test of time.
So did Gar Glitter and Slade.
Always make me smile , and groove. this was my introduction to Sweet at 12 years old, rather hear Sweet before the Beatles any day of the week
They're playing at a festival in my nearby town this coming weekend, I wish I'd known before tickets were sold out!
@@LarzGustafsson nah gary stayed because he can't keep his hands off of his favorite note: A minor
They were a bunch of smart alecky bad asses...and I loved 'em so! Ha!
46 years later this song is still brilliant, Sweet will last forever
shycharlieace fuck me I'm getting old here but still love the songs not 40 years older surely only just turned 60 lol
@@sharonann3344 I'm right behind you at 59 years young!
@@PNEKarl Ok...i join the club
I'm only 55...may I join too?
Had the vinyl album and played it until the grooves turned grey. Lol!
shycharlieace this is one of my favourite ever songs. Brian was a good looking man too 😍
This is the exact time period when music was the MOST FUN.
OFR never bettered 😈
Yes.....1973 was incredible.....even Little JImmy Osmond!
Spot on , sweet Slade cockney rebel Roxy music sparks and so many more
Weren't we lucky to have been young during that era.
@@duncanbirss8923 Status Quo before they became family entertainment and T-Rex?
Brian Connelly was a brilliant singer I loved Sweet and their music sadly there's only Andy Scot still alive
Exactly 50 year's today,What a Hit, What a Group!
Was in first teenage love when this charted and loved this ever since!❤
Ain't no way I love music from half a century ago 💀 I'm 22 and can't live without old music
Wow! Time waits for no one…
Love them too.
My granddaughter age 10yrs now sings along to this and ballroom blitz . Gotta keep the younger generations into good music
Cool kids! I'm glad that the younger generations are re-discovering Chinn and Chapman's music. :)
It's our only hope!
My 18 yr old loves these
I'm 14 and I love their music! My 8 year old brother likes this band too but his twin doesn't. well not all people have a good taste in music.
I have been a fan of the sweet since I was a kid, born in 1991. My Dad has this set as my personal ringtone
Mick Tucker was such a phenomenal drummer that the drums kept playing while he stepped away to play the tympanis.
@60s Man 60s Guitars Very well said.
@Shane P LOL!
🤣🤣🤣👍
Come on, people! Shane P5121 is just kiddind with his comment.
Playback magic.
"we just ......JUST havent...... AAAAAHHH HAAAAAA" CLASSIC STEVE PRIEST LINE!!
I am now 63, and I was madly in love with Brian. Fantastic times the 70s when young men didn't think it was cool anymore to look like their granddad ❤❤❤❤
I’m 65 and I totally agree! So sad they are no longer with us.
Oh dear, another legend has gone today, 04 June 2020 and we have lost Steve Priest, at 72 years of age i believe. One of the best supporting singer lines in rock
"We just haven't got a clue what to do" . Are you ready Steve, to be missed.
Mama you don't understand every time I touch her. "Hellraiser".
RIP Steve. Thre's only two of them left now.
@@arita2006 ?? Andy is the only one left. Brian Connolly went first from a heart attack, then Mick Tucker from leukemia, and now Steve Priest from causes unknown as of this time. It's just Andy Scott left now.
@@100nitrog2 Oh no, I didn't realise there was only one member left.
@@100nitrog2 Exactly, sad but true
RIP Steve Priest. "We just haven't got a clue what to do" 🎸
@Neil Steadman That lines feels different now that he's no longer here.
and never will.............
mesmerising performance.
"We just haven't got a clue what to do" .. classic.
that line sums up todays generation
Im now 63 and STILL get Goosebumps looking at Brian...... Swooning..,
Me too😻 and days away from turning 67 😻
I was 12 in 1972. I did spud picking for my local farmer to earn money to buy Sweet's 7" single from the record shop in Preston. I still love Sweet. Thank you lads!
i was 15 it was the year i left school
U was 12 to and more than a fan. I even went for the same haircut as Brian do it was(and still are)
I live in preston, where abouts did it used to be?
@@patrickrogers4697 Brady's Records on the Flag Market. 1972
How many English lads would pick spuds in Britain today? I was planting spuds at 10!
A sad day for glam rock R.I.P. Steve.
RIP Steve great music
Well said, another childhood Hero leaves the Stage.🎸
Found out as I read your comment. Gutted. Steve's passing only appeared on Australian media internet services. Should have been lead story on every 6pm TV news bulletin. These guys were huge in Aust back in the day.
Tnx again for your sentiments.
Can this year get any worse 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@mayort6548 I found out by someone commenting in the comments section; not 1 mention on national TV news. I googled to make sure it was true and like you said, internet news was on it.
It don’t get more 70s glam rock than this 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
GrtBrt GrtBrt GrtBrt🔴⚪🔵
It's an absolutely cracking band. Talented. I would have loved to see them live.
I did. They were a very good band even when not playing their Chinnichaps top 20 hits.
What a banging fucking tune!! Even now after all those years,it still holds its own✌️top band
THE TOP BAND EVER BEATS ANY OTHER BEATLES ,STONES ;AND ANY OTHER BANDS
I was 13 my first band that I.liked
I was in 2nd year of senior school
73 very underrated band
As well
Lead singer was Mark
McManus Taggert
Brian connly was
His brother
Lead singer ha I never
Knew that one myself
Steve Priest's stage performances are hilarious.
@@andymatthews7617 I would tend to agree.
@@keythdanielsen9315 A great capacity for sending himself up, but of course, most normal folk enjoy a band more if they're obviously enjoying themselves up on stage. If they'd rather not be there, it tells.
Mick Tucker.. Great Drummer. 🎇🌀💫💥⭐✨🔝🎸💃🔙✳️
50 years ago today (25/01/23)! Timeless and classic music.
Still sounds great over 50 years later. Do you like their new song "Don't Bring Me Water"? :-)
@@dariowestern Sounds pretty good to me.
Evergreen ❤❤❤❤❤
Glam Rock was very popular in the 70s in Germany. The Sweet were a milestone and their way of performing was just amazing. They had been frequent guests on TV shows, especially on New Years’s Eve Events. Great Band, good old times…

Sweet - Blockbuster - Top Of The Pops 25.01.1973 (OFFICIAL) 1107am 5.7.23 it'll be that hard beat very strident and we know germans love that kindda drum beat... laibach should have covered this band with all those kettle drums and hard beats going on...
Queen were as glam as the rest of those bands in the 70s , not a bad thing , but I prefer sweet, as the drummer was a Monster on that kit , just think if Mick Tucker was in queen , it'll be a fight between Freddy and Mick cos both were the powerhouse of both bands 😊👍
@@petebest22Comments on ‘Sweet - Blockbuster - Top Of The Pops 25.01.1973 (OFFICIAL)’ 0625am 23.7.23 hmmm.... they were too gay to get into fights... this, too, seems like a very old coment. probably made when you were lying-in your caravan thinking about vegetable plots and your hatred of a certain who person who you then found out had used the moniker of your fav person in the whole wide world and your vengeance had been taken out on the wrong person.. maybe the synopsis for chess!!? awoke this morning to the words jenny wren has committed hari-kari. what does that mean, sir?
The 70s was fabulous
It brings back so many happy days when I was young. When we didn't have a care in the world. I wish most of us that was around then could go back again and enjoy the era with so many great bands around.

70s FOREVER 💪🏻🥰😍🥳
@@kaiserinsissi563 yes the 70s were great, some days it feels like yesterday but it's 50 years now 😢😢. A great time when we were young.
Me too. Miss my neighborhood friends from those years.
@@kevinkmandew759 yes I do. One of my friends who I grew up with died in the 80s.
Me and him and 2 other friends acted out being the sweet when we were at school. I've lost contact with them but still think about when we were growing up.

Sweet, Slade, T.Rex . . . oh what a time ♫
You forgot Gary Glitter 😂😂😂
Sadly,I still like his music,shame he turned out to be the devil incarnate.
Queen , David Bowie , and Elton John too ...
Alvin stardust wizzard david bowie the glitter band the list is endless for all the glam rock greats
@@FHIPrincePeter your kidding hes a dity old bastard
The best music of the 60s,70s and 80s came from England.
Brazil had greaaaaaatttt 60s and 70s music too!! My favorite.
That's highly debatable. Throw "Some of" on the front of the sentence and I'd agree 110%.
Brian Connolly was Scottish
Back when music was about having fun!!! Still sounds great😊👍❤️🇬🇧
Best glam rock band of the 70`s just magical.
One of the best what about mud slade T rex Kenny smokie the rubbers Dave Edmunds 10cc
Why is every second comment obsessing about their sexuality? FFS they are PERFORMERS on stage, wearing makeup and, gee, COSTUMES. Having FUN, in a time before everyone went insane about everything. God no wonder so many of us want to go back!
Zep was mythology
Queen was in white tassle and white leather, Sabbath was in black leather ... These guys out sold them for 2 yrs straight and dressed glam ... To my knowledge all were straight.... But who gives a shit.... Extremely underated band , all could sing amazing and also were all talented musicians. How they aren't recognized more , hall of Fame , Ill never know.
I think they look fabulous! Glam rock at it's best 😍😍😍
To be honest Women preferred the Glammed up look way better the generic granola look of jeans and t-shirt! Glam rock ruled the 70's and 80's. Glam rockers like Poison got more groupies than Mike and the Mechanics.
Maybe they get noticed more with "silly" clothes, like Slade and Abba
Who cares what their sexuality is. They were a great band and part of many of our childhoods, like you said, it doesn’t matter
Even though sweet didnt make it big here in america, i fricken loved them since 1973....would have paid anything to see them.
Gott war das eine geile Zeit, ich will dahin zurück😢😢😢😢😢
....me tooo
My family were living in England (Dad in USAF) when this came out, and, when this aired on tv. Pops about spit his beer out in shock! And worse for him, me and my brothers sang along. Fun times!
Das war eine super Band ! 👍👍👍👍👍
I wasn't born until 2005, so I did not get to hear the bad news about Brian and Mick until I was 14. Then I found out about Steve. Andy is the only one left. Someone give Andy a hug
💯🤘👋🤚
Gabby,you are a lovely big-hearted girl X
I was 8 years old when watching this performance. I fell in love with Brian…now I’m 57 and still in love. I could watch him forever.
Hes got better hair than most women
Really music that means a lot to many of us who were young in 70'ties. Music that never will be forgotten.
"WE JUST HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE ....... WHAT TO DO !" I love Steve Priest 💔
Hello! Where are you from? I´m from Finland. I love The Sweet, the whole band, but especially Steve. What is/are your favorite songs???? What kind of music do you like?? Happy spring to you from Finland :) !!!
hi - so great to get your message - yeah! steve priest was (is !) so theatrical and fab and that was hard with brian obviously being the dominant male! in the band - so steve was 1000% FAB !!!! to be 'the boy' we LOVE.
I am in Liverpool / England .... I got to see the band AND they let me video them at the side of the stage !!!! But steve had left by then ...... they were great i must admit ---- but not as fabulous!
My fave track is prob. Blockbuster + Ballroom Blitz ..... and WigWamBam which !!! I never understood for years !!!! coz I thought Hiawatha was a girl !!!
And THEN I REALIZED ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ all about Minnie HaHa's tender touch + things! by the 'silver stream' ..... Am I right ???? THEN I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD THE SONG!...
Also I better tell you ... I do LOVE CoCo as well ..... v.much .... I have a 7inch vinyl JukeBox in my house with Sweet music on it (and others! 🎵) also Hellraiser and all their tunes really ...... 🎵 and steve's fotto too❤️🎵❤️ ALSO like loads of music like .... Zappa / Hard Core Techno / Reggae / early Stones / Kinks (met Ray Davies) / R&B / loads of my friends are DJs so I get to hear the latest best dance tunes / I LIKE MY MUSIC 🎵 TO BE DISTURBING ENOUGH to shock me as well as make me FEEL HAPPY ... right now I keep singing the one song i never mentioned Fox on the Run !!!! BUT A I SUPPOSE ⟹ ⟹ ⟹
"....... you better beware - you better take care - you better look out if you got long black hair" is my FAVE!...... I have NOT checked the lyrics .... if I have them correct - i hope nearly anyhowz 🎵 .... ✅ LOVE❤️ to YOU - Päivi - from me --- davedoom in liverpool ---- 🎵+🦄+🎼+🎈+🌼+🎤++++💚SWEET💚 🆒 🎶 ✔️ :)
Call me stupid but is that his voice or a piped in voice?
@@chrism.2711 It's his voice. Odds are they're lip syncing but the voice is Steve's. Somewhat overly dramatic vocals were a bit of a thing for him for a bit. Ballroom Blitz is another. It's him.
@@tgreening Thank you!!!
This song was big part of the soundtrack to my youth! Brilliant song from a great band! Iconic 70s music!
SUPERB.
Die Wellen gute Eigenschaften
I was born in '73. Never heard of Sweet until I had children. Only song I knew by them was "Ballroom Blitz" as done by Nuclear Assault. But then I saw a video of Girlschool doing "Fox on the Run" as a young adult with children, and was instantly hooked on the band. I didn't grow up with them, but they are part of the soundtrack to my children's lives! They LOVE Sweet!
Im Gedanken lebt diese Gruppe
@@timothyyocum6140
I was born in 61. The Sweet or just "Sweet" as they were known back then were quite literally a part of the soundtrack of my youth.
Sweet, Slade, T-Rex, Bowie, Quatro, Marmalade, Mott the Hoople, Mungo Jerry, Nazareth etc
We all had Music systems but only Big Bro could afford to buy the records. But bugger did we thrash em when he was out. (Dad had Jim Reeves music etc)
Jumping up and down like a madman on the settee with a broom as a guitar !!
"Marty.... We gotta go back"
Hammer 🔨 ⚒ 🛠 🔨 ⚒ 🛠 Song von the sweet grüße aus Berlin
Iconic and immortal - long live glam rock 🎉
I was ten in 73 and Wow!! To Blockbuster!!
I'm 35 and when I was about 10 we had a Sweet CD and not much else 🤣 so this is my childhood right here 🎶
So was I..Loved the sweet.
Behind all that glam and glitter there are some good musicians.
The best opening EVER.
I was 12 when this came out, I loved the Sweet in my teen years, brilliant band !
Me too. Just getting into music and collecting vinyl. Pissed off my dad when on TOTP so ok with me!
Funny thing is im 16 listening to this just brought up with good taste
When I first heard this song I was totally blown away, this song is decades ahead of its time, Brilliant👍👍👍
I was one of the lucky ones still around this was my teen years from 15 upwards if you can remember the 70's you didn't live in the 70's
Your comment is ahead of its time.
Good as it is this typical 70s glam rock
It still sounds great today. Seriously, just like punk jolted the established rock scene in the late 1970s, we need something to detonate the current mediocre, boring and repetitive rap scene which has been going a decade too long. Maybe a glam rock juggernaut is all that's required.
I heard this song on the radio in the 80s and I've loved it ever seen, I love all their songs, a great band 😊
58 on Wednesday ..... can't get enough of Sweet .... bloody brilliant & bring back some wonderful memories x
Well said diane, THE BEST EVER, I WANT TICKETS TO THEIR CONCERTS IN HEAVEN.
61now just my idea of great fun
Born 64... so glad i grew up with this as my music background..so many great memories with them all

I was 4 when this came out and k thought they were fantastic and that Brian was the vest thing since sliced bread. Broke my heart when he died
Sweet were a fantastic band. Glam rock at its finest. All great musicians.
I just love that little moment with Andy, Steve and Brian at 1:57.
THE BEST BAND EVER
Andy just kiss steve 1:43
And mick 1:57❤
My favourite band from the 70s
Mine too.
Loved Sweet too; my granddaughter likes them also.
Same here. Particularly from the 70s Glam Rock era
What a band, they were underrated back in the day, but produced some great hits
That “word” again…😛
1538pm 1.8.23 Sweet - Blockbuster - Top Of The Pops 25.01.1973 (OFFICIAL) 1541pm 1.8.23 indeed... you might the jesus lizard take on such matters.. it utilizes similar beat... though sweet uses same beat for all it's songs... that said, ballroom blitz seems to be more akin to jesus lizard's blockbuster as against this song... anyhow; the guys who paved the way for punk. i mean that's a pretty easy supposition to make..
underrated by who?🦇

The seventies and glam rock was just the best!!
My fave era too
I was 11 then...Fox on the run was my favorite
@stephen john gray I'm jealous.
Yes they were good times but sadly, music went downhill from the mid seventies onwards, the eighties brought about a brief revival, but once we hit the naughties, it disappeared into a bottomless pit.
Seemed like people cared about one another. Concert tickets and merch didn't break the bank, you got QUALITY music and entertainment ...
RIP Steve Priest 4th June 2020
Just heard 😢😢 Thankfully I have the ‘74 Video from a Show concert to remember all these guys. It seems to me at 64 that more and more of the music heroes of my lifetime are fast going away. R.I.P. to Brian, Mick and Steve.
@@MichaelandCathy1999 Please share your video with me :)
Yep, a true entertainer , his TOTP appearances are legendary. God bless him RIP.
@@tone3817 Indeed. He was so much fun and his facial expressions ... priceless! RIP Steve
He died on my BD..rip
What memories. My first 45!! Played it to death. Never knew what the lyrics meant and still don't. Who cares? Back when everyone took themselves a little less seriously. Happy days.
Still remember the first time I ever saw this age nine in 1973 and my father stood up and angrily said "How disgusting" and immediately stomped out of the room....and I immediately LOVED The Sweet!!
Seems we all over the world had that kind of experiences in those days... like we in the Netherlands, with Toppop... 😄
It's a great track, and I've listened to it a million times, but it just struck me that the siren at the start might have brought back uncomfortable memories for many adults at the time. As kids during the war, that sound would have been terrifying because it meant bombs would soon be dropping. Add to that, Steve Priest dressing like Hitler on TOTP, and it could have been seen as quite offensive to the older generation in the early 70's....
One Great Band. SWEET !
Sweet waren ihrer Zeit, Jahrzehnte vorraus.
Great song and I'm 64, but you can't block buster out.
4 musicians at the top of there game
RIP Brian, Steve and Mick😥
RIP Steve Priest 04/06/20. Condolences to his family and friends. A great entertainer in a great band. High harmonies before Queen tried it. One of the best pop singles of the 70s "Love Is Like Oxygen" by a country mile.
Good call, mate.
Recently pointed this out to my mates. 'Set Me Free' and 'Heartbreak Today' were Queen, before....er.... Queen. 👍
The camerawork and early 70's visual effects work brilliantly with this. An iconic moment in TOTP history.
Na verdadeira pocos conhecedores
Fred is quite right.
Not watched this clip since it first aired. Can still feel the excitement when that siren starts up, and yes, the visual effects were just magical!
All the people dancing around the band is so cool! Loved those days of dancing with abandon with friends and making new ones! 😅
😻
OMG 50 years ago they were rocking and still sounds so good
one of the great lead vocalists
John faram, so true, Brian had a phenomenal range.
Yes!!!! Brian is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Always in our hearts!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome singer and front man
@@WhiteElephantRestoration
Every member of the band had the capability to handle lead vocals, just listen to the harmonies on all their songs. That and their elite musical ability (yes, they played on ALL their records) along with the songwriting talents of Chin and Chapman made them the success they where, just a pity that at the time they weren't considered a 'serious' rock band even with the release of that classic 'Desolation Boulevard' that was AFAIK all self penned.
Brian had the best voice.
Легенда,они гении,таких больше ни когда не будет.вечная память.
Great stuffwhat country u in Sir?
Is that you Pootie?
Why am I only just now discovering the absolute awesomeness of this fg song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sweet are utterly untouchable; no rock band will ever rise to such great heights!
The Sweet were great but Zeppelin, Who, Stones etc didn't exist then?
A fantastic British band what produced remarkable sounds. Will we ever recreate them again ?? Top quality 👍👌
Hallo Simon. Ich bin der gleichen Meinung . Das war eine fantastische Zeit , mit vielen Interpreten der 70er . Lg
My man👊😎 Simon you know the score...
😉👍
❤❤❤
Probably the most iconic Top of the Pops appearance ever.
AND THE glam rock anthem
Probably on a par with Bowie doing starman.Also that recent “found” clip of him doing the jean genie,which is fabulous.
Bring back the music from the 70s !!!!
SUPER
Hammer Song aus meiner Jugend und der Sänger war so ein heißer Typ!! Rest in Peace Brian!! Einfach unvergessen und unsterblich!!
Sweet is some of the best!
Steve Priest!! Gone but not forgotten!!🤟🤩💥
i loved them and always they were early punk rock
A lot of punk bands such as The Ramones, The Exploited and The Damned were influenced by The Sweet so that checks out.
Even Heavy Metal bands into the 80s were influenced by them too from the Hair Metal to even some Thrash bands (For example the band Heathen covered the song Set Me Free).
Sweet , grandios......unvergessen, einmalig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Steve Priest great showman and bassist will be missed.
Best band ever! RIP Steve x
Memories, me and my mate in the bedroom playing their music and us with our guitars pretending we were sweet. RIP to the three. Loved mud as well another chin and Chapman creation.
If you just look at the whole picture It's amazing what you see but above that is the magic they created on stage was awesome
Oh Steve 🤣 Love these guys. Big part of my childhood and still loving them now.
I still have goose bumps listening to this masterpiece, And I am 59 years old!!
I'm 62, well said mate, bloody brilliant.
Sweet gehören allzeit zu den besten.
Good old days. Good memories for me.
R.I.P Steve Priest. He was always my favourite. My dad bought this record when it come out and i still have it. x
He was the only nice one in Sweet without a doubt. I’ll miss him too.
Seen them live 4 times , got every album and single . My fave band EVER !!
Mine too
That's awesome!
Lucky man!
Oh Wow, so cool!
Mick is soooooooo cute when he smiles at 0:55
Gehörte in den 70 igern zu meiner Lieblingsband. War eine tolle Zeit.
64 here and still love these xxx oh .... thems the days ❤
I appreciate this more than I did back then. What a great band.
Back at a time when people enjoyed themselves. Me and my brothers were kids in the 60’ & had nothing , then we left school & started to earn a few quid. We would spend our cash buying records like this. A fantastic time with fantastic music and great bands. And sweet we’re right up there. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
Ain't nobody beat the Sweet...
So Elvis, the Beatles, Stones, Bowie, T. Rex and Queen never existed? The Sweet were good, but don't go overboard..
Grew up.listening to all these my mum loved this era and used to get all us kids dancing at her mates house .
