Feel like I am treading on or too damned near sacred ground as I wonder how pictures like what we see above are obtained/selected.

RIP Steve

I was a big fan. Loved every new single from Sweet.

Well the Sweet, part of my childhood! One of my favorite Songs was "The six teens".

Probably my favorite. Not at all acceptable lyrics by today's standards but a badass song and a great live performance. Steve wearing lavender outfit with "Fuck You" on the back and rocking hard.

Ha ha, cool Ilja Richter! Could be that I saw the show, I was 13 and was watching every DISCO.

Really sad, that Brian was an alcoholic.

It's what really messed him up.

So many musicians ruined their lives with excessive alcohol and hard drugs.
