You sir should be a "ratings attorney". Of course you've probably heard that a thousand times. But I'll say it again; "you sir should be a ratings attorney".
He was do humble that he didn't want to be rated. He was just for the music and encouraging others. In spite of this he was godlike in his demeanor and talent.
64 here heading to 65...70s England had issues but the music was out of this world. Whatever genre you liked. Some classic anthems...this makes my top 20 all day long. So glad I lived thru that...where is my time machine.
In my opinion, this is THE perfect rock n roll performance. Everything about it is pure genius. If there was a primer on how to build a rock n roll song - the opening tongue in cheek lead vocals, the gradual layering of instruments and backup vocals, the drum riff leading into the bridge, the scorching guitar solo and the climactic final verse - it's all there in this one song.
The Ronson Hunter hook up was musically perfect. Mick was a monumental badass and Ian was and still is cooler than a penguin's flipper. A true tragedy to lose MR the way we did but everytime i hear his guitar solo on Moonage Daydream i believe in miracles!!!! R.I.P Ronno you beast. We miss you down here.
strictlynorton. The Wildhearts claim the last recorded guitar solo from Ronson was on their song "my baby is a headfuck" from their Earth vs. Wildhearts album. Anyone know if this is true?
Is he "criminally overlooked" & "feloniously underrated"? That would be the perfect RUclips description. And then to be a "National Force of Treasure" would be the ultimate.
I remember buying the Hunter Ronson album , listening to that… when the power chords came in…. It was like an electric shock.. fantastic searing wah solo. Nice to see Ian using Ronno’s #1 Les Paul, one of the most distinctive guitars of all time.
I've watched this video dozens of times and tonight just noticed that this could be the guitar swap. Was trying to make out if the pickup covers were missing on the guitar the IH is playing to determine if they switched for some reason.

@@AndrewMoizer get the live welcome to the club album, screw the video, another hof standard panzy not in.
Love this video. It should be cleaning my apartment and instead I have watched this now for the...... fifth time in a row..... and am clicking replay again. The dust can wait.
Saw Hunter and Ronson at the old Glasgow Apollo just after Mott split up mid 70's. Still one of the best concerts I ever saw. And Ronno on guitar was simply awesome to watch.
More classics songs were produced back then, because you didn't get a look-in unless you had talent! How else can one account for so many classics being produced with less technology & less people producing the finished product? The composers, musicians, producers & sound technicians simply possessed more individual talent than that of today. Quality over quantity.
A great song and performance. This was released at a time in my life when apart from the odd mis-step, things always seemed to be positive and generally looking up. It didn’t last.
Mick Robson was a producer and my favorite of the seventies He played with Lou read wrote so many songs you gotta do a deep dive on this guy is amazing
I’ve been a Bowie nut since 1972, and Mick Ronson was a huge part of that obsession. As for Lou, Transformer would not have been the masterpiece it is without Mick. As for Ian Hunter, Mick was just what he needed. What an album!
Just looking for my long ago rock stars - Ian and Mick are as underrated as any in history - Ian was (and still is a genius and influence) and Mick was one of the great guitarists - I was lucky enough to see them live a LONG time ago, but will always remember - and with with all respect to Great White - this will always be the original
anything Mick Ronson was in and the talent factor skyrocketed. what a consummate artist and person he was. greatly missed but not forgotten. descansa en la paz siempre, el Maestro.
LOVE THIS SONG! Ian Hunter you are a star. Mick Ronson you are the best rock 'n' roll guitarist, musician, songwriter, arranger this planet has ever known! In my humble opinion, of course.....
Been a Ian Hunter fan since I heard "All the Young Dudes" on top 40 radio when it was a hit back in the early 70s...Just love finding this treasure of a video...Mick Ronson is so under-rated...
I was 14 years old and remember listening to this on a crystal set under the covers at night when I was supposed to be sleeping (my parents kept hassling me about listening to "that modern rubbish") an absolute classic!
I saw Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson open for BOC at the Boston Garden in 1975 and they did all the great Mott The Hoople songs, great memories of an epic show.
here's a story. i was a teen hoople/bowie fan. later when these two went out and headlined the likes of aerosmith, i wanted an autograph. not tyler or hunter, but ronson and he was gracious enough to give me one, on his solo album i brought in to the hotel bar. just when mick was signing it, ian entered the bar and looked like "wtf?". haha. i thanked mr. ronson, collected my signed album and left :)
Ian Hunter - what a front man! Great presence. - I was 16 when Isaw Mott in 1971, when you could see bands play close up to the stage - so much better band - peop, connection. At that gig Ian was Ronson-less, unfortunately, the other band members were tour-tired Ian did his best to keep the momentum though!Jane Russell
One the greatest rock songs of all time. And made even more amazing by the fact that, in spite of cranking out an awesome bass line, the bass player is never seen putting finger to string...
I agree with you Brummie . . . I went from Stafford to Oswestry just to feel I was in the place where the great man came from! Brilliant voice+Mott the H.
this song has been one of my favorite songs for over a two years, which is very very rare for me, and i really think that this will stay on my playlists for a really long time after this. :)
One of the first records I ever bought! And boy, did those lyrics confuse the hell out of my 12 year old brain! But I didn't buy it for the words. Aye, they just don't make 'em like this any more.
Karen Kinsey and the radio play Great Whites version to death. I always hated this song. .....until I heard Ian hunters version. I hate when bands take the credit and ruin songs.
Oh, my God. Mercy! the chicks, the snarliness, Freakin ballad.just rolls and Rolls< i did' nt know what rock n roll was Ian or great white, what does it matter! once bitten twivce shy
Ronson was so talented! Saw him twice. Once with Ian on their late 80's tour and he WAS a guitar god and earlier in the 80's when he toured with the "Payolas" a Vancouver band whom he produced their first album for and played keyboard's that night.. They had a big hit in Canada with "Eyes of a Stranger". He was one of the great guitarists, an excellent keyboard player. (Just listen to Lou Reeds "Perfect day"). He did the string arrangement on that album too. An amazing talent and a lovely down to earth guy. He should be up there with Page, Townsend, Clapton, Beck, Lifeson etc!

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again - Mick Ronson was a criminally under-rated guitar legend!
You sir should be a "ratings attorney". Of course you've probably heard that a thousand times. But I'll say it again; "you sir should be a ratings attorney".
Sad but True. :(
He was do humble that he didn't want to be rated. He was just for the music and encouraging others. In spite of this he was godlike in his demeanor and talent.
Elton said everyone wanted Mick on guitar.
Up there with Page
I’m glad I’m 67 and got to enjoy this when it was fresh like it still is today
64 here heading to 65...70s England had issues but the music was out of this world. Whatever genre you liked. Some classic anthems...this makes my top 20 all day long. So glad I lived thru that...where is my time machine.
Me too.
Same age, loving this Rock 'n Roll.
A mere 63 but hey it still sounds good.
In my opinion, this is THE perfect rock n roll performance. Everything about it is pure genius. If there was a primer on how to build a rock n roll song - the opening tongue in cheek lead vocals, the gradual layering of instruments and backup vocals, the drum riff leading into the bridge, the scorching guitar solo and the climactic final verse - it's all there in this one song.
Mick Ronson, from David Bowie's band was one of the
finest rock guitarists Britain had.
I think you hit it on the head with this comment. Too bad the guitar solo doesn't just keep on going ... it's got it all!
How To Make The Perfect Rock Single. Hunter is funny, the lyrics are crackling and RONSON is in God Mode
Mick Ronson - totally shredding it!
Ian Hunter - defines "cool".
Great song that stands the test of time.
It does. I just sent this my 20 yr old neice
Thank you Ian Hunter for standing with Mick Ronson through good and bad times.
I Had The GREAT Opportunity to see them both in Portland ME in the mid 80's Fantastic Show 2 thumbs Up
They opened for the Kinks. That was a really honest to goodness rock and roll show. Both bands were incredible.
The Ronson Hunter hook up was musically perfect. Mick was a monumental badass and Ian was and still is cooler than a penguin's flipper. A true tragedy to lose MR the way we did but everytime i hear his guitar solo on Moonage Daydream i believe in miracles!!!! R.I.P Ronno you beast. We miss you down here.
i hear you brother x so true
MR was a rock genius, and a true original.
Cooler than a penquin's flipper!!!!LOL!Great song,by the way.
strictlynorton. The Wildhearts claim the last recorded guitar solo from Ronson was on their song "my baby is a headfuck" from their Earth vs. Wildhearts album. Anyone know if this is true?
Ian Hunter is criminally overlooked when it comes to great voices. A fabulous singer and a wonderful songwriter.
Is he "criminally overlooked" & "feloniously underrated"? That would be the perfect RUclips description. And then to be a "National Force of Treasure" would be the ultimate.
I was 18 then 66 now still blows my mind
Mick Ronson........what a brilliant guitarist and artist. 👏👏👏👏
One of the greatest guitar solos EVER!
The Mick Ronson solo should be linked in the dictionary under 'tasteful.' That was certainly something else.
Mick Ronson, THE best...loved how he moved, everything about him, he was just class
He was the nazz
still is
The very definition of a rock god :)
the remake of this song by that 90's hair band couldn't even compare not even close
Leps262 Randy Rhodes idolized him.
I remember buying the Hunter Ronson album , listening to that… when the power chords came in…. It was like an electric shock.. fantastic searing wah solo.
Nice to see Ian using Ronno’s #1 Les Paul, one of the most distinctive guitars of all time.

@@AndrewMoizer get the live welcome to the club album, screw the video, another hof standard panzy not in.
All-time classic from Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson.
Love this video. It should be cleaning my apartment and instead I have watched this now for the...... fifth time in a row..... and am clicking replay again. The dust can wait.
48 years later, he's going to release a new studio album by April this year. A living legend.
Saw Hunter and Ronson at the old Glasgow Apollo just after Mott split up mid 70's. Still one of the best concerts I ever saw. And Ronno on guitar was simply awesome to watch.
The good die young, my friend. Everybody loved him, too.
Peter Gerstenzang He was a great musician and great live
Did you ever see SAHB IN THE Apollo ?
@@jimmybeegood yes. Fabulous performer. Can’t remember whether it was still Greens Playhouse at the time or changed to the Apollo. Such a great venue
I say again, Ian Hunter is a fookin rock icon.
More classics songs were produced back then, because you didn't get a look-in unless you had talent! How else can one account for so many classics being produced with less technology & less people producing the finished product?
The composers, musicians, producers & sound technicians simply possessed more individual talent than that of today.
Quality over quantity.
What a great song 5 years back from Vietnam. Still a grate song today.
Mick Ronson was absolutely amazing.
this is an amazing version, love the super clean guitar first verse, then BANG! Go Mick, RIP.
A great song and performance.
This was released at a time in my life when apart from the odd mis-step, things always seemed to be positive and generally looking up.
It didn’t last.
Mick Ronson one of the greatest guitarists of all time...R.I.P..Mick..
The best and shortest guitar solo ever. RIP Mick
Mick Robson was a producer and my favorite of the seventies He played with Lou read wrote so many songs you gotta do a deep dive on this guy is amazing
I’ve been a Bowie nut since 1972, and Mick Ronson was a huge part of that obsession. As for Lou, Transformer would not have been the masterpiece it is without Mick. As for Ian Hunter, Mick was just what he needed. What an album!
Best rock song of the seventies and one of the best of all time. Just has it all. And that searing lead break by Ronson. Just awesome!
There was only one Mick Ronson. This is some of his finest work with Ian Hunter. Rock on, Mick. Rock on.
loved this in the seventies,,,,,,,, AND FUCKING LOVE IT NOW.
Still very addictive in 2024
Originality, virtuosity & lots of charm... miles ahead of great white...
I love the great Ian Hunter quote ``i love arrogance, i`ll get back`. We did`nt think you`d ever lost it Ian!
Still can't get enough of this great song. I was 16 then, 53 now.
the band is so freakin tight....great stuff
love Ian Hunter
Mighty Mick Ronson always makes me smile 🥰
Mick Ronson, what a great sounding guitarist
Just looking for my long ago rock stars - Ian and Mick are as underrated as any in history - Ian was (and still is a genius and influence) and Mick was one of the great guitarists - I was lucky enough to see them live a LONG time ago, but will always remember - and with with all respect to Great White - this will always be the original

This is rock and roll!
GREAT JOB! Loved this back in the 70's when it new. Haven't heard it in decades!
Cor blast from the past. Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson really rock this fine tune.
+Tom Faulkner Way cooler than Great White more raw and visceral
Nah man......Great White literally burned down a place in RI and people died.......can't top that you bloody wogs!!!!
I forgot how much I liked this. Thank you so much.
my favourite of all time, they certainly can show todays "pop" what real music is.
LOVE THIS SONG!
Ian Hunter you are a star.
Mick Ronson you are the best rock 'n' roll guitarist, musician, songwriter, arranger this planet has ever known! In my humble opinion, of course.....
Bloody brilliant this song, two greats coming together.
absolutely brilliant music....pleasure to hear it again
Mick Ronson is the BOMB !!!
Been a Ian Hunter fan since I heard "All the Young Dudes" on top 40 radio when it was a hit back in the early 70s...Just love finding this treasure of a video...Mick Ronson is so under-rated...
Never before and never again.
One month late and it's climbed over 200 000 hits. Still shits me when it has it all over most shit today.
Mick Ronson....Gone to soon.
He was a hero to Randy Rhoads, for very good reasons.
Ian is a brilliant songwriter! That is why so many covers out there!
I am glad also to be 66. I seen them Wheeling WV .They wheeled Ian Hunter out on a dolly at the beginning of the show. PRICELESS
This is the one & original---------Mick Ronson THE GREAT.
Best Sounding Wah Wah tone Yeah Mick!
LOVE Mick Ronson RIP
The greyhound bus / stateline reference is to me the best rock lyric ever.
I was 14 years old and remember listening to this on a crystal set under the covers at night when I was supposed to be sleeping (my parents kept hassling me about listening to "that modern rubbish") an absolute classic!
the best 3 and a half minutes of my musical life
Reliving the best music decade in history :)
One of the best drops in rocknroll
Thanks so much for sharing, now this is REAL music!
Aaaaah the memories........
RIP Mick. Miss you more than ever.
I saw Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson open for BOC at the Boston Garden in 1975 and they did all the great Mott The Hoople songs, great memories of an epic show.
I met Ian just before a show he was very nice! left my name at the door ! it was the best show ever!
here's a story. i was a teen hoople/bowie fan. later when these two went out and headlined the likes of aerosmith, i wanted an autograph. not tyler or hunter, but ronson and he was gracious enough to give me one, on his solo album i brought in to the hotel bar. just when mick was signing it, ian entered the bar and looked like "wtf?". haha. i thanked mr. ronson, collected my signed album and left :)

I love many, many bands, but I think that this is THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT ROCK SONG. Thanks
They don't come much 'cooler' than Ian Hunter.
They move around like tigers on vaseline, and the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar. ( Ian was " playing " Mick's guitar )
From someone who was 15 at the time, this was a breath of fresh air, when disco was about to swamp EVERYthing!
One the greatest rock songs of all time.
And made even more amazing by the fact that, in spite of cranking out an awesome bass line, the bass player is never seen putting finger to string...
I can't believe I'm still alive and watching this. We lost so many....
Mick Ronson, how shall we tell of thy greatness ?
Brilliant Ian Hunter - 10 times better than a lot of the "credited" Rock stars. Great voice!
I agree with you Brummie . . . I went from Stafford to Oswestry just to feel I was in the place where the great man came from! Brilliant voice+Mott the H.
I got out my 1973 Les Paul Standard & played it for Mick
ROCK ON FOREEVER
Ian is just as incredible today, at 76! Happy birthday, Ian. Can't wait to see him again this Sat. In PA.
this song has been one of my favorite songs for over a two years, which is very very rare for me, and i really think that this will stay on my playlists for a really long time after this. :)
saw this concert in the "D" Detroit in 1975 sweeeeet!!! Miss you Rono.... :(
I like to visit these times in my head and ears now and then to remind me what fun we had and how good the music was !!
One of the first records I ever bought! And boy, did those lyrics confuse the hell out of my 12 year old brain! But I didn't buy it for the words. Aye, they just don't make 'em like this any more.
that's how we rolllllllled in the 70's knock u off your feet ,c was givin what c got ,u got the speed mick ronson killer dude.mervin peers
I got to see Ian hunter in the early 80s at Asbury Park new Jersey and he nailed it in concert Ian you the man ,God speed. Chester.
I was at that same concert. Awesome.
Beeb listening to rockn'roll for 50 years - this is as good as it gets. Excellent. Reason: Ian Hunter/Mick Ronson.
Dear god, I bought this! Absolutely played it to death.
Karen Kinsey and the radio play Great Whites version to death. I always hated this song. .....until I heard Ian hunters version. I hate when bands take the credit and ruin songs.
Sheer perfection. Not one missed moment. God I miss Rock'n'roll.
Thanks Sawbird, great work. Agreed, top-shelf 70s rock. Awesome.
Saw Hunter & Ronson at the old Glasgow Appollo. Really rocked the joint. Great post.
Can't knock the "Dudes". It's still liberating to watch this stuff. Great upload. Thanks.
Cheers, glad you like it 😊
Oh, my God. Mercy! the chicks, the snarliness, Freakin ballad.just rolls and Rolls< i did' nt know what rock n roll was Ian or great white, what does it matter! once bitten twivce shy

ABSOLUTELY. Just saw him 10-5 @ Kent Stage, Kent,Ohio. Fabulous.
'ello ! now that's rock 'n roll with plenty o' swagger...
It should be noted that the last word on Motts final single ,Saturdays Gigs were `Goodbye` .So IH was back with avengence .
Don't forget the guitar the guy from queen made out of a fireplace!
And what I like the most...All these posts are new.This will never be forgotten.
Rock 'n' roll burns.
Superb track, cool lyrics, great sound, storming solo and so professionally performed. Perfect.
Always loved this track - guaranteed to make ya smile !
Great song. Chuck Berry style song by Ian Hunter, updated to seventies rock...wonderful.
