Sweet

In the live recording from November 30, 1974, Sweet delivered a electrifying performance of 'Turn It Down' at the University of Leicester, showcasing the original line-up featuring Brian Connolly on lead vocals. Just a month prior, Sweet had released their album 'Desolation Boulevard' in the UK, which prominently featured hits like 'Ballroom Blitz.' This was a pivotal time for Sweet, as they were transitioning from bubblegum pop into a more glam rock sound, further solidified in their live shows. By this time, they had already gained significant commercial success, and their energetic performances became a hallmark of their style, reflecting the vibrant music scene of the 70s. The presence of DJ Dave Cash, a legend of British pirate radio, adds an extra layer of context, highlighting Sweet's crossover appeal and the raw energy of live TV performances during that era.
