I was 10 years old when I bought the first album of The Sweet, now I am 60 years old and for me it was the best band, will always be in my heart, It is always present Andy Scott, you are part of my life.
43 years after its release, and 'Love is like Oxygen' still sounds as fresh as ever!! A classic track by one of the most underrated bands in popular music history!!
Sounds good 👍 But Brian's voice is irreplaceable ❤ R.I.P. Brian, Mick and Steve You guys are unforgotten and forever in my heart ♥️ Long live Sweet-Music with Andy's Sweet 🎶🎤🎸🥁🎶🤘🔥
One of those songs that takes me back to being 10. Can't remember the events of last week but this kicks in and I'm back there - every friend, field, teacher etc. Only music has the power....
"Music has the power", a very good point. If time travel is ever perfected i think it wont involve being sent back to a date but to a tune. Bit weird but based on what you just said...
i'm the same age as you , still got this as a single i was quite into rock then, takes me back to my old record player with stackable records and mono speaker lol
Totally agree, the new lead singer has a great voice. The should tour the UK in december so really hope to see them so I could record a few more songs snd upload them here. If you dont wanna miss future uploads please feel free to subscribe to the channel 🙂

Thanks for your nice comment 😊 Sadly Brian, Mick and Steve are gone. Andy is no the one to keep the Sweet Spirit alice. Please subscribe to our channel. 😊
I agree with you on principle that no one can replace him, but this singer does a really good job! I think it's hardest for the singer who has to step in that role, no matter how good they are, because they are being asked, in a way, to step into the role that was filled by a legend. Can you imagine if The Beatles decided to rejoin after John Lennon's death, but had someone else in his place? I love that bands like The Stones and Kiss and Chicago stay together through the decades, but as things happen in life (harsh splits, physical death, etc.), one or more original members are gone and someone stands where they used to be, not replacing them (as you said, no person is replaceable - everyone is unique), and the almost inevitable comparisons are made (like, "yes, he's good, but he's not (fill in the blank - name)... "he doesn't do it like (so and so) did....") So, in a way, it's almost not fair to the new bandmate.

@@Concertsandmore the best memories, a different time when real artists performed. Old bands need to kick back in and jamm it again. It's only old to the young. Great to see and hear. Looking for more. Thanks, for then and for now.
73 I wasn´t even born :D Born only 1984,so I never had the chance to see the original line up live :) I only saw the line up with Pete Lincoln as lead singer,he was very good,however I think Paul Manzi,the current lead singer, is the better choice for the rock songs. I still enjoyed all the concerts I saw with Pete as lead singer and I think he is amazing in his band Frontm3n where he performs songs from the sweet. :) If you subscribe my channel,than you would not miss any future uploads :) All the best :)
Yep. One of those songs as a kid that just made you go, what is that ! That opening riff grabs you and your like, this is cool ! No clue how many of the guys in the video did it originally but sounded good and brought back memories. Thanks.

Seen them at Clitheroe old theatre December 2019 just before all this lockdown bollocks they were on top of their game and the vocal harmonies were bang on.
They were a true super group in every sense of the word. The awesome guitar work in the early albums. Cover bands struggle with the skill these guys had particularly vocal ability. True British music royalty for me during ultra competitive times in the 70s
They were a great studio band but having a number of their 70's bootlegs, not surprisingly, they really struggled to replicate that vocal sound live and often came off sounding quite flat in comparison to the albums. I guess they'd have been fine in the modern "live" era with autotune and backing tracks though. :-)
Steve Priest (RIP) was one of my icons and Sweet started off my musical journey… I remember bumping into you Andy at my cousin’s pub in Chelsea… thanks for your great inspiration… Sweet live on! Blessings mate…
@@Concertsandmore indeed…. But I was a little star struck then at age 22 ( now nearly 40 yrs older!) A lot of water under the bridge since, playing in bands and meeting loads of great musicians and great people…

Superb performance, I saw Sweet on a double header with Slade a few years back and I thought this song was the highlight of the entire show. Loved the way they sequed into and out of the ELP number, very slick !
@@Concertsandmore Sweet were very impressive, Slade less so. Slade probably had more hits to play, but for me Sweet were red hot, great vocals and playing, real energy.
Brother, we’ve both changed a lot over the past 40-50 years. I haven’t gone bald yet either so I don’t need to dye my wig either. I wish Lady Gaga would send me something too. Your music has held up over the years and it rocks as hard as it did when we were young lads. The Sweet was ahead of its time and will always be one of my favorites.😎
Thanks for your comment 😊 Thank you for sharing your story 😊 As Lady Gaga sends her used wigs to Andy you probably could not get those...maybe Lady Gaga could send you her used glasses? 😂😂
The Sweet' is responcable for bands like KISS, (both Sweet and Alice Cooper) Early quiet riot with Randy Rhodes is (total influenced by Sweet. Sweet influenced twisted sister although they might not be proud of it. I'm sure there are many bands. But I have too say of all the bands The Sweet influenced Casablancas (ANGEL) were probably most likely too succeed. Casablanca should've signed van Halen also instead of righting van halen off as too heavy.Casablanca went bankrupt with Angel. I think Casablanca must've kicked thenselves in the ass everyday.
I was living in Germany (army brat) when this band came out sweet rocks they made their mark in Rock history and I love that I can watch there videos on utube it like I'm 14 again
As an American I am discovering Sweet for the first time. I only knew Oxygen, Fox, Willie, and my favorite Ballroom Blitz. What a great time I am having all by myself tonight.
The reason why 40 odd years ago I became a rocker -Sweet closely followed by Quo and Lizzy Rainbow etc Makes you sad that life has gone so quick but equally grateful to have been brought up on proper music
Thanks for sharing this with us 😊 Brilliant that Sweet makes you become a rocker 😊😊 Please subscribe to the channel so you will not miss future uploads 😊

Interesting thing about Andy Scott as a guitarist: unlike others from his era out on tour, Andy's technique and vibrato just keep getting better and better with time. Go Andy!
Andy is still rocking and nearly 71 now. Hope he keeps on rocking, really want to see him live on stage again,so I can upload more videos :) Please feel free to subscribe to the channel,so you will not miss any future uploads :)

Just watched this again, I wish I could see it live. So good. So good. Gonna watch ballroom blitz from the past next. Guys, I introduced sweet to my daughter when she was about 8. Ball room blitz is one of her favorites. But to see this at this age, there's hope for me, lol. Just fantastic.

Andy is 72 years old now and some guys are just jealous that he still has a head of beautifully full hair. It may no longer be black but it's turned a gorgeous white!
Many people start anyway getting grey/white hair at a young age(the first few hair often when your in your 30'/40's) and than dye their hair until they finally keep their real colour. I agree the hair colour of Andy is a really nice white colour 😊 Please subscribe to our channel and please share the video 😊
@@fredwinslow744 I think @Goesjem was referencing Andy's "harmony voice." He was always ever a guitarist, and a back-up vocalist. * shrug * maybe he still does. I pretty much zoned in on 8 minutes & change when he got down to the business of what he does best.
Thanks for posting this timeless group and the timeless song, been listening since it came out. They don't write them like this, which is why I don't listen to much of anything but classic rock, brilliant boys!
It´s amazing the song, only song I personally prefer more is "Ballroom Blitz" :) I hope I see them live again soon,so I can upoad more videos :) Please feel free to subscribe to the channel,so you don´t miss future uploads :)

As age tells you to limit your physical extravagances you hope there's someone out there that proves you wrong. I haven't heard or seen Sweet for decades. Love is like oxygen (I don't remember the album name. But I got their lp somewhere in my loft) was one of my favorite compositions. Time gave me new favorits, but when I hear this I'm heading straight back to my loft. My first remembrance of rock music with guitars playing rock and roll with classical references are still one of my most important eye openers in music. It lead me to groups like Sky, 10cc, Elo, Pink floyd, rediscovering The beatles, and a new respect for Mozart, Grieg, Elgar, and a lot of other classical composers. Finding this video was gold for me right now. I love their music and I'm allways greatfull for their imput in my musical evolvment. I just have to find a way that my bad knees can climb the ladder to my attic so that I can blow the dust of my records and rediscover glamrock. I did'nt know they still existed, but I'm very glad they still spreads their magic.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊😊 First of all I really hope your knee is getting better or that someone can get those vinyl's for you from the attic.😊😊 Really amazing that this brought back memories. Andy Scott was basicly always touring...beginning of the 80's was a break otherwise he is always on the road and said a few years ago, that he wanted to retire and did a final tour...he than decided he wants to continue as long as he can.😊😊 Andy wanna rock forever 😎😎
Fuck yes!!!!!!!!!!! GodDamn I'd almost forgotten about this song prob one of the 1st songs with a classic hard rock riff I immediately fell in love with.at like what 12 yrs old..? . I had to have this 45 and I played the hell outta it right rafter Boston, Van Halen, and Kiss next thing you know I'm getting all into prog rock . I think this was the start of my prog. Awareness .had to have a guitar.. from when music was real with breaks and melody and skilled players... Damn good times. Fuk me.. 40 yes later I still know every word and riff... Like snapping back in time. Brilliant.
Love the 2nd half tribute to my heros ELP Fanfare for the common man great job fellas Helix used to cover your song back in the day when Brian Volmer could hit that Octave!!!lol ever coming to Toronto please send me a text. A staple in my live very clever lyrics. God bless you surprised still hitting those notes.

After all these years they put a joyous tear in my eyes. And goose bumps..god bless you guys ..p.s. hair looks awesome
Thanks for sharing it. Amazing that you got goose bumps 😊😊
As an American I am discovering Sweet for the first time. I only knew Oxygen, Fox, Willie, and my favorite Ballroom Blitz. What a great time I am having all by myself tonight.
Great to hear you enjoyed the music. 😊😊 Where you dancing to it as well? 😊😊
The reason why 40 odd years ago I became a rocker -Sweet closely followed by Quo and Lizzy Rainbow etc
Makes you sad that life has gone so quick but equally grateful to have been brought up on proper music
Thanks for sharing this with us 😊 Brilliant that Sweet makes you become a rocker 😊😊

Legend band, awesome SWEET, classic rock 🎸
Totally agree 😊
I was in my last year at high school when this was released. Never told any of my punk mates that this was my favourite single at the time and I bought it and played it to death. Still love it to this day, keep rocking guys.
I guess there are many who did what you did 😂😂
I love you 😘 Andy don't ever cut that gorgeous 😍 hair
:) We´ll find out,when they back on tour if he had cut it or not :D Please feel free to subscribe to the channel,so you will not miss any future uploads :)

Thanks for your comment. 😊 Andy is still rocking and keeping the Sweet spirit alive. They plan to tour the UK in november/december 2021 and I plan to record some more songs than. 😊 If you subscribe than you will not miss future uploads 😊
Interesting thing about Andy Scott as a guitarist: unlike others from his era out on tour, Andy's technique and vibrato just keep getting better and better with time. Go Andy!
Andy is still rocking and nearly 71 now. Hope he keeps on rocking, really want to see him live on stage again,so I can upload more videos :) Please feel free to subscribe to the channel,so you will not miss any future uploads :)
He plays the old way without power-chords and the guitar sounds classic sweet
@@henrikcarmel1 Very underrated guitarist/singer, impeccable timing & melodic sense !
Boy, I was 21 when this came out! One of those tunes you never forget and never get tired of. Well done lads👍💪

Just watched this again, I wish I could see it live. So good. So good. Gonna watch ballroom blitz from the past next. Guys, I introduced sweet to my daughter when she was about 8. Ball room blitz is one of her favorites. But to see this at this age, there's hope for me, lol. Just fantastic.
They are starting to go on tour again soon 😊😊
That was amazing!
Totally agree and it seems live music is starting soon so hopefully new uploads will come soon. Feel free to subscribe please so you do not miss future uploads. ☺
Great video!! First time I have them of age!! Nice to see they still have it!!!
Thanks for your comment 😊 Really appreciate that you liked the video. 😊 Please subscribe to the channel, so you will not miss future uploads 😊😊 All the best to you 😊
Andy is 72 years old now and some guys are just jealous that he still has a head of beautifully full hair. It may no longer be black but it's turned a gorgeous white!
Many people start anyway getting grey/white hair at a young age(the first few hair often when your in your 30'/40's) and than dye their hair until they finally keep their real colour.
I agree the hair colour of Andy is a really nice white colour 😊
Please subscribe to our channel and please share the video 😊
I'm totally touched. The power of music
Thanks for your comment 😊
@@Concertsandmore you're welcome 🙏
It is amazing how Andy has managed to keep his high falsetto harmony voice. Roger Taylor from Queen has lost his. Great to hear this.
Great you enjoyed the recording.
Andy is still rocking on stage 😊
Umm. The vocalist is good but that’s not Andy
@@fredwinslow744 the leadsinger is Paul Manzi 😊
@@fredwinslow744 I think @Goesjem was referencing Andy's "harmony voice." He was always ever a guitarist, and a back-up vocalist. * shrug * maybe he still does. I pretty much zoned in on 8 minutes & change when he got down to the business of what he does best.
Did you mean Freddie Mercury from Queen he passed a long time ago lead vocals ! He was the shit back in the day he made the band what it was ! 👍🔥🤘💀🤘🔥
What a treat, thanks for uploading!!! Really!!!!
Your very welcome. 😊
Thanks for posting this timeless group and the timeless song, been listening since it came out. They don't write them like this, which is why I don't listen to much of anything but classic rock, brilliant boys!
Your welcome 😊 Glad you enjoyed the recording 😊
I came here from a live performance of Ballroom Blitz 1974, the Eagle I graduated high school. This is one of my favorite songs! Sweet still got it!
Thanks for sharing that with us. Great you enjoyed it 😊
Great to see the boys still rockin
Still rocking hard 😊😊
Frickin love this song!
It´s amazing the song, only song I personally prefer more is "Ballroom Blitz" :) I hope I see them live again soon,so I can upoad more videos :) Please feel free to subscribe to the channel,so you don´t miss future uploads :)
This is excelent.. But still the best is the original... Brian, Mick, Steve... Miss you....
Original is always the best, I agree on that :) However the current line up is probably the best line up we can get to play the Sweet songs :) I hope I see them live again soon,so I can upoad more videos :) Please feel free to subscribe to the channel,so you don´t miss future uploads :)
I found something in common with Andy Scott and me. I have the same guitar strap. YEAH!!! 😄
Very cool! 😊
@@Concertsandmore 🤣🤣🤣
As age tells you to limit your physical extravagances you hope there's someone out there that proves you wrong.
I haven't heard or seen Sweet for decades. Love is like oxygen (I don't remember the album name. But I got their lp somewhere in my loft) was one of my favorite compositions.
Time gave me new favorits, but when I hear this I'm heading straight back to my loft.
My first remembrance of rock music with guitars playing rock and roll with classical references are still one of my most important eye openers in music. It lead me to groups like Sky, 10cc, Elo, Pink floyd, rediscovering The beatles, and a new respect for Mozart, Grieg, Elgar, and a lot of other classical composers.
Finding this video was gold for me right now. I love their music and I'm allways greatfull for their imput in my musical evolvment.
I just have to find a way that my bad knees can climb the ladder to my attic so that I can blow the dust of my records and rediscover glamrock.
I did'nt know they still existed, but I'm very glad they still spreads their magic.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊😊 First of all I really hope your knee is getting better or that someone can get those vinyl's for you from the attic.😊😊
Really amazing that this brought back memories.
Andy Scott was basicly always touring...beginning of the 80's was a break otherwise he is always on the road and said a few years ago, that he wanted to retire and did a final tour...he than decided he wants to continue as long as he can.😊😊
Andy wanna rock forever 😎😎
Ahh, sweet memories of my childhood in the seventies😀 I’d kill for that wig🤩
Hope it only brings back good memories? 😊😊
@Dill Clinton Never too late to discover The Sweet 😊 I was only born 1984, so I missed the 70's myself 😊😊
Music will never be the same, what a great band and song!
Sweet was way ahead of there times. 😊
Please subscribe to our channel.
Thank you 😊
Fuck yes!!!!!!!!!!!
GodDamn I'd almost forgotten about this song prob one of the 1st songs with a classic hard rock riff I immediately fell in love with.at like what 12 yrs old..? . I had to have this 45 and I played the hell outta it right rafter Boston, Van Halen, and Kiss next thing you know I'm getting all into prog rock . I think this was the start of my prog. Awareness .had to have a guitar..
from when music was real with breaks and melody and skilled players... Damn good times. Fuk me.. 40 yes later I still know every word and riff... Like snapping back in time.
Brilliant.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is great that you enjoyed it 😊
