Klondike - how about a few
Klondike - how about a few more details this seems like it could be interesting.
we were at a world series of rock back in the 70’s with a bunch of hard rock bands, and one of the main headliners (Aerosmith) cancels. Well South Side Johnny and the Assberry Dukes take the spot, not the greatest replacement at 80 thousand seat stadium expecting thunder from the gods. We are on the field and the guys next to us are a bunch of dicks and are throwing shit at SSJ and Dukes. After their set who comes wading thru the masses to the blanket next to us? Miami Steve, SSJ, and a couple more from the band. They are telling the guys next to us that they have backstage passes and want them to come on back with them. Everyone is yelling no they are going to kick your ass. Well they stayed and the dukes eventually left with no fireworks, well our crew did have some smoke bombs, but no artillary.

With a festival run in the US this summer.
I will give you NYC folks a tip, the city winery may be the launch pad...

Since Ian plays there a lot, I can see it but not the place I want to see them, I saw X there a few years ago , rock bands need more space and crank it

Slacker, I made an Ian Hunter
Slacker, I made an Ian Hunter Mini Movie to close out the year yesterday, and used Mott the Hoople's "Half Moon Bay' at the end.
Which was obviously very controversial at the time; the track closes out Mott's debut album in 1969 and is almost 11 minutes long.
Enjoy ~

Denny Dewars voice is missed.I agree.

Hey Joe, Micheal Stanley has never gotten air play in NY until XM. He does covers real well & Rosewood Bitters is a very good song for him.

Mott The Hoople was one of
Mott The Hoople was one of the greatest ROCK AND ROLL bands ever! Saw them in the very early 70's in Fresno.Was a big fan.
I saw Ian Hunter last yr and he still kicks ass. I am looking forward to this tour.
I was a big fan before seeing them. My friends all made fun of me until they came to town(Fresno). The show was Golden Earing opening, Mott The Hoople and Ronnie Montrose, who was huge at the time, was the headliner. Golden Earing had only one song that was a hit and there set showed why. Then the Hoople came on and blew everyone away. Including all of my friends. For the rest of the night, and during Montroses set, everyone was yelling for Mott The Hoople to come back out. They never made fun of my musical tastes after that.

Oh wow. Amazing.
Oh wow. Amazing.
So glad you wrote that Mark.
The bass player for both Mott & Ian's band Peter "Over-End" Watts sadly passed away last January.
He was integral part of the band's sound & if they do not tour, it would be because of that.
Mick Ralph's guitar playing is hidden in most of Mott's body of work. Not sure he is in on this or not...
I think that's why he left and started Bad Company.
The Hoople as played a few shows already. All were outdoor festivals in Europe.

Pre-fame, the band had various names, one being The Shakedown Sound....
Bowie was a huge fan, and upon hearing they were talking about breaking up, offered them "Suffragette City" for an album they were working on. They turned it down, so he wrote "All The Young Dudes" for them.
And, as "they" say....the rest is History....
Great Band....

XM just said although Mott the Hoople are definitely playing more shows in Europe...
In Hunter was recently swayed to bring the Mott the Hoople back to the USA for an official full fledged US Mott the Hoople tour in 2019
"Ian said "the Mott the Hoople 2019 will be a core trio with Airel Bender focusing on Motts work in 1974"
Enjoy music fans ~

Not sure what NY radio station you listened to but WNEW-FM played a bunch of Mott during the 70's. That's where I was exposed to them.
