As long as I live,
I'll never forget the first time I heard the Intro to "The Ballroom Blitz!"
The snare drum keeping time as Brian says,
"Are You Ready, Steve? Uh-Huh.
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay.
Alright Fellas, Let's Go!"
It wasn't the 1st song I'd heard by SWEET - That was "Little Willy" back in '72...
But this was the Summer of '75 - You heard everything from America to John Denver to The Captain & Tennille to Eagles to "The Hustle."
But that song was so much more than the simple and very repetitive "Little Willy" and it made me go out and buy the Desolation Boulevard LP (Which I still listen to from time to time this many years later)!
I thought I'd make this First Post here in honor of Steve Priest, who died June 4th, 2020.. Brian back in the late 90's, and Mick in the early 2000's... Andy is the only one left from the picture above...
This is a raw, rockin' show recorded for the German TV show Musikladen in November of 1974... So, the Sound Quality is quite good! And, the Music is Great! Couldn't find any Artwork, So I made these simple covers, for those that still make CDs, and of course they're included in the download...
