Top of the Pops, 1973

You can't get much more Glammed Up than this lip-synched performance by Sweet from Top of the Pops from 1973.
The song (which borrowed its major riff more than a little bit from Bowie's Jean Genie, released the previous year) went to number one in the UK. It only reached number 73 in the U.S.
Bassist Steve Priest was fond of performing dressed as a woman, in true Glam Rock tradition. For this video, the BBC apparently censored his mustache, and the Nazi insignia on his clothing.
That's how it was, back in the early 70s !
