What’s so amazing is Mott the Hoople gave Queen their start. Queen’s first tour of America was while opening for Mott. They also sang harmonies on Ian’s album All American Alien Boy. Then there’s Brian playing with him all these years later!

I saw Queen open for Mott at the Palace in Providence in the spring of 1974. Great night!

I will never forget this. In 1973 I went to the Santa Monica Civic to see Mott the Hopple. A band I never heard of opened and blew everyone away. They were Aerosmith. I'm surprised Mott even came out. Aerosmith blew everyone away. A great memory

Who else could make Brian May and Joe Elliot act like young school boys on stage...Ian Hunter is one of the Unsung heroes of rock

Very similiar.. 63. Picked up M the H Live just because A) I knew Bowie wrote ATYD and B) the pic on the back of the album cover with the hanging puppets looked awesome. I became an instant lifelong fan. Saw him twice in the 70's in Toronto.. first time at a small theater with Mick Ronson and 2nd time in a bar with Rory Gallagher as his guitarist. Always happy to see a new to me upload on my KZread feed.

❤Brian may kills this man. Just perfectly.thank you.

Mott the Hoople, the best name for a band I've ever heard. The fact that they were also brilliant was a bonus.

While in prison for a drug offence, Guy Stevens read the Willard Manus novel Mott the Hoople, about an eccentric who works in a circus freak show, and decided to use it as a band name. A band Stevens managed called Silence reluctantly agreed to change the band's name to Mott The Hoople following their audition for Stevens in early 1969.

the man is a legend love anything he does.. If he's not he should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just for the songs he's written alone.. Thank you Ian Hunter

Yes. Mott the hoople deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame, but they will never get in because those brain dead poosers that run the place want hip hop and everybody that is not rock and roll. Sad.

Yes! We had the best music and the most fun!!!!!

One of the top rock songs of all time 🎉🎉😅😊😊

Always loved this song. Ian Hunter rocks!

Ian Hunter has to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He has written so many great songs and lived the life. Just for the fact he wrote Cleveland Rocks should have been his ticket in.

Andy York, Mick Ralphs qnd Brian May together on stage...holy shit!!!!

First time I’m seeing this with Ian playing keyboard. Best version EVER

Ian Hunter and his Mott The Hoople for Rock and Hall Hall of Fame. Only eligible since almost the beginning!! The would not be a Clash or Def Leppard without him!! One of the greatest singer-songwriters in rock history! Rockin from 1958 to 2019!!!

I thought this was a one time thing. Saw this years ago on KZread. Then I got the chance to see the Mott 74 tour at shepherds Bush in 2019, and lo-and-behold, at the end comes on brian may and Joe Elliott and they perform this song again (and smashed it). Unbelievable. 🙂
