That's funny. I don't follow Sweet, but I thought Steve totally have stop all kind regarding Sweet. But is there a "demand" for Sweet in USA? They only "nearly" made it in USA.
But I have to say, the last album they made all 4 together, Level Headed from 1978, was really great. I still play it alot. It deserves to be lot more notice as it was/is.
But abit surprised to read about Sweet here!

My Sweet experience as follows.
Went to see them at Selinas night club at Coogee Bay, Sydney circa 90/91 (they were well past it then, but still with original singer Brian Connolly). Can't remember how but got involved in after show shenagigens with the band in one of the hotel suites - basically lots of beers, smokes etc. Hardly compares to being backstage at Knebworth 76 but...........
Against my better judgement (because I was very pissed)I drove home. Failed to take a corner, overturned the car & wrote it off. Managed to avoid police action but the insurance company very suspicious after I put in the claim on the basis that I had not been drinking. As a result they put a PI on to me who followed me around for a week or so, talking to my friends etc. He eventually got off with my flatmate, lost interest in me and I eventually got the full insurance payout.
wrong thread, i know, but this is another experience of having met famous people
All therefore ended happily although I did at the time have to cancel a planned trip to Tanzania/Mt Kilimanjaro as it looked like I was going to be in deep s**t.
