FANTASTIC TRUE TALENT WHICH WAS HELD BACK THIS IS A BRILLIANT SONG ONE OF SWEETS BEST

Was für eine vielseitige super Band. iCH BIN PLATT.

So strange but more I hear this it is one of my fave songs, so crisp and clear and harmonic...

Excellent

What a band!

Лучшая группа на все времена

Это точно

Still loves you... Great!

I love the old songs

The drum fill at 02:22. Mick Tucker is godlike.

Best one on the album.

good,good,good....!!!!!! Luji-TAMÁSI

. Вас ис дас СпотЛайт? Свет в горшке мэйби?... Так и не понял...

прожектор,вроде

Ну , да прожектор , центр внимания . Как я поняла песня о том , что девушка сегодня вечером поедет на танцы , но с другим парнем ... так как герой , от лица которого поется песня будет занят , будет под прожекторами , но он всё узнает , что она будет делать ... всякая лирика про горящую свечу . Текст незатейливый , но видимо очень автобиографичный , про себя написали : лабухи работу работают , а собственную девушку некогда " потанцевать "

@tatyana march да, прожектор.

My favorite band since I came out of the womb

the troop pre wainwrights gentleman written by brian under his foster name macmanas and eldridge some other guy probaly from the band.

One of my five favourite songs of Sweet!

The Girl With Brains In Her Feet brought me here (Spanner and Jacqueline).

My dad's favourite 70's band and still loves to listen to them now.

Your dad understand music,as and I

Die 70er! Und ich war verrückt nach The Sweet. Fan bis heute!

Ich auch. Bin lebenslanger Fan von Sweet

Regina Heinrich. Dann haben wir eine schöne Gemeinsamkeit ;-)

Ellen R. sweet Brian 💜💜💜

Ellen R. THE Sweet sind das größte aller Zeiten ( unvergessen )!!!!)

I was 9 years old, never ever left me!

This is my favourite Song from The very early days!

my 1st time hearing it; pretty cool 🎵 🎶

Nor Demm I like all sweets songs and albums bout my favorite songs are block buster ballroom blitz and wing Wambrook bam and lost angles and love is like oxygen and Fox on the run and turn it down

showed just how talented the boys really were i prefer this to the pop hits that made them famous, great song and music

Dee Dee dee dee all of sweets songs are brilliant except Alexander grahambell and six teeance

Exactly

The drumming is great here, obviously not to ignore the rest.

at 34 seconds ,where is the wide(like a inner LP gatefold) photo from? that photo pretty much sums it up. Steve Priest IS RnR.

used to listen to this on my old record player...The Sweet Greatest Hits album - pure Heaven to a 15 year old. Adored and still adore Brian...RIP

Nunca se definieron en un estilo ,igual me paresen excepcionales! quiza por cuestiones contractuales tocaban de todo! Yo escucho gran variedad de estilos,por eso los valoro, Al lado de bandas de porqueria, merecen mas reconocimiento!

It was the 'b' side to Alexander Graham Bell. Done me wrong alright was the 'b' side to Co-co. All great songs though!

They still are! :-)

I first heard this song on Sweets Biggest Hits which I got for my 10th birthday. I'm 50 now and have been a Sweet fan all my life. This song is simply outstanding, Andy's solo on this is one of my all time favourites of his..

sweet

superb!!!

One of my all time favorite songs and for some reason I don't have it any more - Sorted by U Tube. For me, Sweet were one of the best ever.

I Love steve bass playing
great song

sweet never played charlton rock with the who in 74 they.never capitolised on it no reading rock or the whistle test i asked andy he said we were never asked they must have had shit managers they should have been screaming at them to.get them these gigs it wasnt to be
as good as anybody out there a that time great memories from a great band

I was crazy about The Sweet back in the 70s. Hell Raiser especially used to drive me wild.

Heard the original of this many years ago.. The 'B' side to 'Coco' if I remember rightly. Brilliant track.. Thanks for posting!

GREAT VERSION! With 22 SWEET c.d.'s I must have it somewhere. My Boys !

never heard this,and it is brilliant/

bravísimo, una banda de gama alta!

No way does this sound like a song from the very early 70's - love everything about this tune... the acoustic guitar intro gives me shivers up my spine each time I hear it!
Lovin' Andy's solo shots throughout and the main solo is great, and play the song loud enough and Mick's double bass beats go right through you.... Fantastic

Never get tired of this song. I spent some time with the boys in the 70's in the U.S. Andy told me that Brian was thrown down a balcony [or two] in the fight and was kicked in the throat during the fight. I never asked more about it but I could tell it was a sore subject with them.Every time I was with them, Brian got drunk real fast .The other guys would drink but not at his level.

Slade are one of my favourites, but I have to agree, The Sweet were much more original, doesnt surprise me they had hits in North America and Slade didnt.

@YamersLexx
pretty much what the rumours say - he got into a fight with some local yobs after going (alone) to his local pub in his roller. Whether it was jealousy that he was who he was or that he flirted with their girls idk, and neither does the author of the book. But the general consensus is that Brian's throat injury seems to have been deliberate!
Thanks for watching my vid :)

WOW! I have been looking for that book but it's hard to get in the bookstores here. Ill have to go online. What did it say about Brians throat injury?

I've just finished reading a book called: 'The man who sang Blockbuster' - fantastic look a Brian Connelly's life, and Sweet.
Some funnier moments - each time the band had a hit, Mick had a new T-shirt made (now we know why he's seen with a T-shirt saying 13 hit wonders!) and . . during a particularly looong solo from Andy, Mick was heard to shout 'Bloody Shut up!' from the control room, and this was left on the actual recording - (B side of Lady Starlight - where'd ya go)
- worth a read :)

This is a great song and features one of my favourite guitar solo's from Andy Scott. I've been playing guitar for 34 years and Andy is my main influence. A fantastic band, I coult myself very lucky to have seen them live twice, Hammersmith 1978and again after Brian had left, at the Lyceum in 1981... fantastic band who were so underrated it's untrue, and way ahead of their time

Sounds like The Thamesmen.

Great song choice and excellent collage of pictures! *****
Funny how easy they've "sold" their talent to Chin and Chapman and didn't listen to Wainman more. From one side they made fame and money from the other lost a lot of credibility. This song is proof how Co-Co was Funny Funny in the year 1971! :)

It seems it's all about guessing?!
Brian and Tucker were in the band Wainwright's Gentlemen in the 60's, yes. Glover was not the member but Gillan. Brian did replace Ian Gillan who joined Episode Six, where he met bassist Glover. Tucker was already in the band but left the band together with Brian after three years touring the clubs and pubs, in 68.

I would doubt that info, credits goes to Connolly, Scott, Priest and Tucker, while the song was produced by Phil Wainman. It is all written and well known.
This song also prove that Sweet should have sticked with Phil who knew what sound would fit to band the best.

I agree -
They'd have made an awesome stadium band, don't you think.
They were supposed to support The Who at a football stadium venue in London, but because Brian was beaten up - they couldn't do it.
It's a shame, they'd have been the greatest and the loudest.
We might have been talking about Sweet now, with the same reverence shown to Led Zepplin!!!
Thanks to the guys and gals who take the time to put up the videos - we can all watch the Sweet we know and love, as often as we like!
BRAVO!

I played this awesome song hundreds of times since the 70's.
All people who hear it a few times hear the brilliance of it.
If Sweet had become famous with these kind of songs people would've taken them seriously from the beginning...

Didn't know that!!
It's credited to Sweet . . .

I wonder why Roger Glover didin't claim on a lawsuit or something - though it wasn't released as a single was it - maybe that's why he didn't bother to dispute the ownership.

Great fact - thanks for sharing.

Isn't that a lovely picture at 01:06

Luv this song!!!!
