Awesome. Let's hope they and more are used for a release associated with the Ron Howard movie.

Yeah, these just look like dvd-r knock-off copies. I'm assuming you asked for one of these and they said no. Did you ask if they would burn one off for you?
Hell, I'd take one of those Sweet discs.
What are the other two discs?
They've either got a small library or their filing system is wack.

I was in infant school when they were big. I think this was their single and possibly last big hit off the "Level Headed" album. It all looks a bit Spinal Tap to me watching it now though.

Got to have the long version though, with the classical style section in the middle.
The album is the only place to get it.

Back in 1978 I remember liking the single but Sweet were becoming dated even then. That album version sounds like the dying days of prog rock and would never have worked as a single at the time in the UK. But it's nearly 40 years ago now and I think they were probably a very underrated band.

At least classic rock played new songs at the time. I hadn't thought about it for a while but I only have the 45 version of Love is Like Oxygen, from the Best of Sweet album. This is going to drive me nuts until I get Level Headed.

After all these years, could a Hollywood Bowl CD finally be coming? Amazon says so, but I'm waiting for an official announcement.

Thanks for that article! But there is an odd quote from Giles Martin: “Trust me,” Martin added, "it doesn’t sound like Steely Dan. It’s still the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl. But I think now it really captures the energy of the band at those shows.” Thank God it doesn't sound like Steely Dan! The Beatles kicked ass both years at the Hollywood Bowl. Steely Dan live would put me to sleep. That is a bizarre, buzz-kill statement from Master Martin
