This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
“Are you ready, Steve?” “Uh-huh.” “Andy?” “Yeah.” “Mick?” “OK.” “All right, fellas — let’s GOOOOOOOOOO!”
If you aren’t humming Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz and air-drumming at this point, your glam-rock IQ has fallen off a few points. Top it up with Glitz, Blitz & Hitz, an outstanding new DVD on the classic ’70s band. Deftly integrating contemporary interviews with classic footage, the 92-minute documentary traces the electric, so frightfully hectic rise and fall of the foursome behind hits like Little Willy, Wig Wam Bam, Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Fox On The Run and, of course, Ballroom Blitz. Even better, nearly all the music clips are complete and uninterrupted by dialogue. In the words of Brian Connolly: Oh! Yeah!
