My favorite band.

Brilliant ❤❤❤ Brian ❤❤❤❤ Unvergessen 💕💕☀☀ Ruhe in Frieden ❤

Holy shit. Brian is Incrdible, Steve knocks me flat on my ass, the harmonies are perfect, I can't even believe this exists...

Cheap trick??? Brian must be the big influence for robin sander

Not disco. Give me a frickin' break.

Excellent band to say the least.

Brian, you´ll always be the sweetest one.

when he did a swear and the rest of the band were like WHAAAAAAA!

Una combinación perfecta! seguiremos apoyándolos, viva The Sweet!

Fantásticos!
Guapos!
Mi banda preferida!
No había visto éste video, me encanta el look de Brian y su voz.
Los 4 miembros del grupo eran unos músicos y cantantes buenísimos.
Les quiero.

Managed to sing "fuck" on 70s TV because it was not an English program.

They thought you were crazy
When you took a walk right through the door
They don't know the reason

The lies that they told you
And the times that they sold you
Down the line

Live for today - don't need your politician
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away

You gotta, you gotta
Live for today - don't need your politician
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away

Counterfeit city
Spending your life in their charade (sorry for yourself)
Sincerely phony
This musical mascerade has gone too far far far
You sold your clothes
Now it's cold up your nose
And you frooze

Live for today - don't need your politician
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away

Live for today - don't need your politician
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away

Gotta gotta gotta gotta
Live for today - don't need your politician
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away
You gotta live for today
You gotta throw it away
Gotta gotta live for today
You gotta throw it away
Get out of my way
I'm only live for today
Live for today
Throw it away...

Its fucking far not far far far

On the 5th of January 1977 SWEET made a quick visit to Munich, Germany, to perform 'Lost Angels' and 'Live for Today' on the 'Disco' 77' television show.
'Live for Today' was meant to be a 45single, then they came with a new song: 'Fever of Love'....
being the new single....

"Disco"?

Where the hell have these cats been my whole life? Were they suppressed here by my (unwanted) media?
All great, all sing, and unfairly labeled bubblegum.

Once again, Sweet sounds like Queen or was it the other way around? Sweet has got to be one of the most underrated rock bands ever.

Other way around

Underrated

And still today; don't need politicians and inquisitions. Timeless Sweet, right on target, and f-ing rocking out.

Always a great kickass band...then and now.

Off The Record is one of my preferred albums from Sweet!

Sweet , what can one say , great, brilliant super , the list goes on . Rob.

cut the swearing. get out of my fucking way??!

Brian is very drunk on this show :-(

You know this ... how?

@Jinty B Look at Brian, his face and the song is playback

Era un gala

SWEET has never been topped !

The 7" that has never been released ;)

Volle Power

Klasse Song von der letzten Langspielplatte

great rock track totally underrated

Diese Frisur von Brian passte genial zu ihm er war einfach sweet😁😁😎😎😍😍😒😒😀🤗🤗

Estoy de acuerdo. Guapísimo,.

this is not a disco music

live for today goose pimples just watching

brilliant rock track, brian what vocals!

Steve Priest's hair looks incredible.😀

Pero posterior a a salida de Brian Connolly, se notó empezaron a subir de peso.

1080p high definition?? Bless this video

great vocals by Brian, so underrated, they need to be brought to todays audience, don't know what they are missing !!!!

they were so tight! great musicianship and performance! defenitely one of the top bands of the 70-ties

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sweet is Immortal!..

Toto MILUJI

Sweet, legenda 70. let minulého století. Škoda, že Brian a Mick nejsou již mezi námi...

God, what's Brian drunk in this video, he destroyed a great group

Live for tomorrow too :)

Very well. Even though beeing Sweet-fan since 1973 I never was fond of that line:"Live for today".

Stille don't understand why this was not a single.

So eine Harmonie in dieser Band und doch hatte ich von Anfang das Gefühl, dass Brian immer ein bisschen für sich ist und die anderen eine Einheit - das ist nicht negativ gemeint - unglaublich, dass er zwei Jahre nach diesem Auftritt die Band verlassen hat … :-(

All of them legends!!

That's not live.

Ich mag auch die sweet die sind einfach geimpft

they are just sweet no one cAn touch them

Anyone truly hear the lyrics? 1:24 "counterfeit city spending your life in the charade (chorus:just for another dance) sincerely phony this musical masquerade has got to fkn fk and you sold your clothes now its gone up your nose and your ____" Hilarious!!! Love this attitude.

this is fucking sweet world wake up just perfection

👍👍👍👍👍+👍

Nice F bomb at 1:37. Lol.

Bryan Connolly, se atoró e iba a tropezar¿?

What a great singer

I have never heard this before and I love it

👍👍👍👍👍

Brian already looked very ill here-so sad that he couldn´t stop drinking.....i think they where the greatest band of the 70´s

Not only of the 70's

Brian had his own problems, and getting kicked out of the band only made things worse.

LYRICS:
They thought you were crazy
When you took a walk right through the door.
---
They don't know the reason
You just couldn't take it anymore
--
The lies that they told you
And the times that they sold you
Down the line

Live for today - don't need your politician.
Live for today - don't want no inquisition.
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away.
You gotta, you gotta
Live for today - don't need your politician.
Live for today - don't want no inquisition.
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away.

Counterfeit city
Spending your life in their charade (sorry for yourself)
Sincerely phony
This musical mascerade has gone too fucking far

You sold your clothes
Now it's cold up your nose
And you frooze

Live for today - don't need your politician.
Live for today - don't want no inquisition.
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away.

(Guitar solo)

Live for today - don't need your politician
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away.
Gotta gotta gotta gotta
Live for today! - don't need your politician.
Live for today!- don't want no inquisition
Live for today! - you gotta throw the rules away
You gotta live for today!
You gotta throw it away!
Gotta gotta live for today!
You gotta throw it away!
Get out of my way!!
I'm only live for today!!
Live for today!!!
Throw it away!!!

Written by all band members.

I just love their expressions when Brian sings "Fuckin fuck"

I so miss the creativity of this band

Incredibly powerful vocals from Brian and amazing sync with Mick on drums and Steve on bass! Now that's a proper rhythm section for a rock band!

He didn't say it was live.

@ThePaulv12 No more than what his comment had to do with you, yet you replied.

@ThePaulv12 He very well could have been referring to the recorded version. In any event, you were smug to him. I'm sure, in your arrogance, you won't be able to see it this way.

@ThePaulv12 That's quite the superiority complex you've got going on there, Sport. 😬 I suggest you look up the definition of making ASSumptions. 😀😉

@ThePaulv12 Good plan, little man.

Really good!!!

I love fake Sweet videos. This is one of their best!

Fucking Steve and Mick making fun of Brian...Steve always looked like a back stabbing prick, Brian was the reason Sweet was so popular, Andy was a great guitarist, and Mick was one of the best drummers in rock history, he could have easily drummed for Led Zeppelin, or ELO but they were making fun of Brian who had a severe drinking problem, and health issues..

thomasdoucette1984 doucette how do you know they're taking the mickey out of Brian they could have just been having a friendly chat amongst themselves or maybe they were asking themselves do you think Brian will slip the f word into the song as he said he would

These guys will always be the bomb .....Like they say music never expires ....

1:30 has got to fucking fuck! best lyrics ever

I it me or is Brian giving you Rod Stewart vibes?

WOW! This is the first time I am hearing it. Cool song! If you notice the thing around his neck. I wonder if it is hiding a scar from the time he was kicked in the throat in that bar fight

Actually SWEET wanted to call their 1977 album ``Live for Today``;it was their ``working title`` while recording the tracks.
Finally they decided to call it ``Off The Record``. Perfect title!! STAY SWEET!!

Judas Priest im Anzug von John Travolta. Sweet - immer ihrer Zeit voraus! Top!

diese Punkstimme ist so geil

andreas hering Ja Brian's Stimme ist absolut HAMMERGEIL !!!!

in 't schoon vloms gezeet: leef nau

wow.. where's this one been hiding..awesome. Perfect sweet song.

da hat Brian noch einen Superhit abgeliefert

Sweet Rule

Ok, who said Brian couldn't sing. He's fantastic even after the horrible incident that happened to him in 1974 being kicked in the throat several times. Brian, you held your beautiful head up and sang fantastic!!! I love the rest of bank too...it takes the whole group to make it work.

Kicked in the throat?

@Tony Powell 'In 1974, Connolly was badly beaten after leaving a nightclub in Staines where he received several kicks to his throat resulting in his being unable to sing for some time and permanently losing some of his vocal range. This event also meant the band missed out on supporting The Who at Charlton Athletic Football Ground. Several songs on the Sweet Fanny Adams album had to be sung by other members of the band.'

@Jojo Gunne And since this he start to drink

Not heard this before.Thanks.

Das war schon nichts mehr..ausser Love is like Oxygen von Anfang 1978.

Love the way Steve and Mick are engaging in conversation and HOW did they get away with the F bomb back then? Was this going out live?

It's just a word. Dit not matter back then (at least here in Germany).
Personally - I missed the show: But I can imagine that the f-word might not even have registered with me.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MR. ANDY SCOTT!!!! (ALWAYS & FOREVER)! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT/SAFE BIRTHDAY!!!! & THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, YOU ROCK!!!!

I fucking love this band.

great song and band no tours in the uk after 1974 so how was this or any of those great albums gonna be heard by the so called real rock fans they failed to capitolise on not playing charlton rock in 1974.with the who.. beacause of what happend to brian at that time no uk festivals either big mistake.they should have been a stadium band sadly wasnt to be.

I saw them in 1978 on the Level Headed tour

sharpman1100 So did I 😊

SWEET !! They was so much great!

I adore this song!Full of energy ! Super Sweet!!!

Violeta Tomljenović I adore too! High explosive !!!! Ingredible !!!!!!!

Anja Schmied Sweet is for me the number one, over 40 years!!!!

Ma perchè cantavano in playback?

Quasi tutte le band suonavano in playback nei programmi televisivi, all'epoca. Succede anche oggi...

I had a perch once. It swam around until a guy took it and chopped it up,for fertilizer

I love 2:03 minutes

Sweet, i love this, forever!

Immer noch das beste was ich gehört habe, vieleicht.

Brian in voller Action 💕💕 ,eines seiner letzten Konzerte 💜💜

Brian du bist der größte aller Zeiten 💟💟💟👍👍👍

....und hast die beste Stimme aller Zeiten !!!

Anja Schmied 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brian zu sehen und zu hören ist immer was ganz Besonderes!!!! Man kann nicht genug davon bekommen !!!!👍👍👍💗💗💗

Still one of the BEST rock bands ever!!

Simple as that nuff said

Yes, and they shall remain so always !

They flatten your nose with volume and talent!

@Brain Drain you are stupid, read something about this group

@Cat Angry piss off

Wurde live for today und lost angels an einem tag aufgezeichnet? Die Boys haben dieselben Klamotten an.
