The Sweet
Ballroom Blitz Live In Berlin 1976
Album US 2015 on RockBeat Records label
Rock (Glam, Hard Rock)
[cardboard issue] Eisport Halle - Berlin, Germany May 16, 1976 [liner notes] The Sweet were considered a "Glam Rock" band. That genre was defined by only a few Groups. Outside of Kiss and The New York Dolls, there weren't very many that could really put on a great live Show. They consisted of Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker. They key to having them reach a larger audience was when they began with "Funny Funny." Well, if they wanted to go to the 'sugary' side of pop charts, they picked the right name. When they utilized a more 'hard rock' Approach, the began having sucess in the UK with "Block Buster," Hell Raiser," "Turn It Down," and their Anthem "Ballroom Blitz." The Sweet were much more popular in Germany and other European countries. Here in the US, they had a bigger following only after "Ballroom Blitz" their first hit for Capitol in 1975. This Show is a good as any live Performance you will hear by the band. Energetic good old fashioned hard rock. They were technically very proficient and deserve another listen ... especially live. ℗ © 2015 RockBeat Records, a division of S'more Entertainment LLC
