Just answered my own question:
During 1976, Sweet attempted to gain popularity in America by promoting new material from their Give Us A Wink album, with a heavy schedule of more than fifty concert dates. During an appearance at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California on 24 March, Sweet played "All Right Now" with Ritchie Blackmore as a tribute to mark the death of Free guitarist Paul Kossoff. The second single from the LP, The Lies In Your Eyes went into the Top 10 in Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia, but only reached #35 on the UK charts. |

View my images, Bilston photos, you're there.
1975? or 1976? The set list should sort that problem out surely!

I think Brian introduced the song as tribute to Paul Kossoff ('Who should have been with us here tonight') who was supposed to be supporting Sweet with
his band Backstreet Crawler. But hey, I could be wrong...

God, too many rockers have died on my birthday (March 19th)! As if I weren't paranoid enough...
That being said, thanks for posting the video, the ticket stub, et al. These iotas of musical history are important to me. |
