I watched with my first girlfriend, Shelley. We were drinking some beers in the couch just digging us some Mott the Hoople. Some of the best memories of my life! Love the genius of Mott the Hoople and later Ian's solo career. That was real music back then!
Yeah ! Awesome stuff ... Ian Hunter with Mott the hoople was the best... even though I loved his first solo album with Ronson...but after that...not so much...plus "Mott-Drive on" was a pleasant surprise...but wish he woulda stayed with MTH ...😄
Awesum footage of an awesum band always been a huge fan of mott the hoople since early 70's,although mick Ralph's had already left to form bad co,good to see Ariel bender on guitar 🎸,long live mott the hoople 🎶🎸🎶
Always like Ian Hunters' vocals... the way he goes slower or faster than the beat , then comes right back on beat... or when it's time for the rhyme, but he doesnt. Clever boy !
Have you seen the footage of them on the midnight special ? It has just been released...I remember seeing them on either this or that...they played "All the way from Memphis" and I was hooked ...it was in mid/late '73...I'm thinking it was with Mick Ralphs on guitar...but I learned he had left in August...so maybe not...
Saw Mott on their’74 tour….on a triple bill with Stories(“Brother Louie”) and Joe Walsh’s Barnstorm….ah those were the days my friends. I still have the ticket stub….cost me $4.50!!
Really...? What year did you see them... which line up...?...I'm envious...wish I could have seen them...but I was too young when they passed through Los Angeles playing at the Santa Monica civic in April or May of '74...I wasn't allowed to go...😐
@@philipholmes5884 early 70s original line up , managed to get on stage with them once ! First time saw them they were unknowns supporting band called Free blew them away I thought , another time an unknown band called Queen were the support band , great times at the stadium lots of bands played there Frank zappa , ACDC , hawkwind , Led zeppelin to name a few
@@philipholmes5884 PS there's a video on you tube called Liverpool stadium of rock tells you about the stadium Mott song on it called Saturday gigs and photos of them and other bands playing there , photography a bit primitive though , thing about those days there were no videos to promote bands so they had to get out on the road and work but they gave us a good Time - happy days!
Well, you're quite an attentive and knowledgeable viewer, thanks. This is actually Ariel Bender in his stage attire from Mott The Hoople's 1973 North American tour.
Take a good look kids ,, notice Arial Benders costume , don’t forget this is 1973 … Does it remind you of someone in the later band KISS ? Where do you think they got their inspiration from ? Mott was the real deal , innovative and creative,, never forget that 😊
Mott were the originals....and certainly Kiss took from them. as did the New York Dolls and probably countless others. Bassist Overend Watts even gave Arthur Kane of the Dolls his platform boots!
Certainly, it must be Blue Weaver playing an organ, you're simply right. In 1973 he went with Mott The Hoople to support a US concert tour. Grateful, I'll pay attention to your significant thought and add this to the description.
Those were the best fckn days! The drugs were good, the girls were good. The war was over. And life was full of hope and faith. We didn't know how good we had it. But if we do anything before we die, let us try to put things back on track. Let us not leave the world worse off than when we got it. Even if it means helping only one person find their way. The kids are alright. Support a woman's right to choose. Support your local Union. Vote Blue '24 Peace.
Mott the Hopple's one and only great album was "all the young dudes" great album, I have it in my collection. "One of the Boy's" is one of my all-time favorites. But that's it. I'm sure they were good in concert...
@@JeremyHillary-kw4ms That’s cool man! I have signed copies of the book from the author! It’s a funny book. Their manager just liked the title and thought it would be a great band name…
At the beginning, of course like every singer, you're gonna walk right up to the monitor and stick the mic in it. I hate singers that don't understand his equipment. The last thing you ever want to do is aim the microphone inches from your monitor thats cranked up so you can hear yourself. These are the things that keep me up at night.
Why does he have to rip on LA? Of course it's tongue in cheek,, but most UK bands would be dying to get to break in the good old USA. Is Ian already tired of playing Davids song?
Idk, Ian liked playing with the band obviously but it was also majorly stressful for him. Being in such a place probably might have made it worse. But I’m not Ian so I couldn’t give you a definitive answer
Tracklist:
1. All The Young Dudes 00:35
2. Sweet Angeline 04:12
3. Drivin' Sister 10:12
4. All The Way From Memphis 13:56
great song list, thanks!

Rock was so fresh back then. I had just graduated from High School and this was on the radio. Yeah!
I was a freshman and went to see them live '73, Chicago. Yeah man!
Love Ariel Bender's pre-KISS space suit
This band was a great influence on me as a teenager in the early 70s

Awesome Great Rock band. Ian Hunter Great singer songwriter and musician and guitaristrist and the real Rock Star 💯💯💯. Ian is King

This band just knows how to rock, Mott the Hoople was one of my favorite bands back during my military days.
What a blast from the past. Hoople was an awesome band. God Bless ole Ian.
Ian Hunter has a new album out today! 4/19/24 !
Rock on Ian! Mott 4eva!🤘😎🤘❤
Ian is timeless man
The good ol' days of great classic rock!!
Saw Mott on their’74 tour….on a triple bill with Stories(“Brother Louie”) and Joe Walsh’s Barnstorm….ah those were the days my friends. I still have the ticket stub….cost me $4.50!!
Great lineup
What venue bro?
Paramount Northwest Theatre, Portland Oregon, USA. September 22, 1974
Wow 😮. Cool lineup

ブロードウェイに向かって駆け上がる前の勢いのあるモットのライブ映像！
Great show! This footage is a real gem.
⚡️💙⚡️
They were my band!
The great Ariel Bender playing his junior. Wonderful to see this footage,
Mott the Hoople were just the best.
Thanks for posting😍😇😊
Bad-ass Coolness @ its finest. Thanks for posting.
Me gustan los Mott, es la esencia del rock de los 70, la mejor musica de todos los tiempos.
I remember watching this air. Amazing!
These boys rocked!
Saw them 6 times at liverpool stadium UK by the docks as in the song - amazing band live great times

@@alanjones6359 oh you saw them with Verden Allen... that's incredible...thanks for the details ! 👍🏻
@@philipholmes5884 👍
GREAT BAND...LED BY IAN HUNTER!!!
Great band
Greatness
Loved Mott!!!
Just love them😎
Thanks..
Thanks for posting. I've never seen the full show before.
That's Luther Grosvenor- AKA Ariel Bender on guitar. Mick Ralphs had recently left for Bad Co.
Well, you're quite an attentive and knowledgeable viewer, thanks.
This is actually Ariel Bender in his stage attire from Mott The Hoople's 1973 North American tour.
❤
Correct
And it's pretty obvious who Ace Frehley stole his style from.
bender was awful then too
6:18 Ariel Bender!
⚡️🎸⚡️
Overend and the Swallow Bass.
How is this band and especially Ian Hunter not in the Rock Hall? Along with Bowie and TRex these guys defined glam rock.
Sigh. Because the R&R HOF is LAME!
Yeah I don't fuckin' get it ! Why !? Ian Hunter is rock'n'roll !!!!!!!!!
Same reason Johnny Winter and MC5 aren't it's a f@#$ing joke no credibility at all they aren't getting any more of my money
As well as Slade….. great music for the best generation of music the 70’s all types of music excelled during this decade.😊👍👏🎤🎸🥁🎹
Also , procol harum and Jethro Tull both clearly should be in the rock hall. Saw this tour at the Santa Monica civic auditorium, they were incredible!
Take a good look kids ,, notice Arial Benders costume , don’t forget this is 1973 … Does it remind you of someone in the later band KISS ? Where do you think they got their inspiration from ? Mott was the real deal , innovative and creative,, never forget that 😊

i think it's Blue Weaver on organ and Morgan on piano
Certainly, it must be Blue Weaver playing an organ, you're simply right.
In 1973 he went with Mott The Hoople to support a US concert tour.
Grateful, I'll pay attention to your significant thought and add this to the description.
I watched this when I was in College- kinda dates me.......
Those were the best fckn days!

Peace.
Vietnam was not over yet. Know your history
If you vote "blue" in '24, you're fucking idiot.

Hey Stef, get your head out of your ass
How many Bands did this lot inspire,
Love them, love this, shame about the picture quality.
Oh well… I’ll take what I can get 😂
@@JeremyHillary-kw4ms There's some decent quality stuff on The Midnight Special. In fact, a lot of decent bands in the 70's on there.
@@bewildered5444 oh thanks! I’ll look
the world would be a better place if the bassist's Mic worked
ha I think Too
Oh dear I just noticed- poor Peter 😂
Outfits , like Shakespeare.
I wonder if the girl Ian brought onstage ever saw this?
Looks like Ace Frehely on guitar and Pete Way on bass lol
Though one of the Highlight songs of the ‘70’s we havent been told what a “ hoople” is??!!…
A Hoople is like a sad sack who nothing ever goes right for.
If I’m remembering correctly, “Mott the Hoople” is actually the name of a story, so that’s where they got the name from
It’s a book and a “hoople” is a bum, hobo, wandering minstrel, etc. His name in the novel is Norman Mott.
@@Tom-rl9jh ohhhh, ok. I’m not caught up entirely on the lore yet whoops 😂
@@JeremyHillary-kw4ms That’s cool man! I have signed copies of the book from the author! It’s a funny book. Their manager just liked the title and thought it would be a great band name…

Ace Frehley on lead guitar lol
Like Shakespeare ?
Now, which one’s Mott ?
There is no Mott, that's just in the name of the band. All the guys have their own names.
@@JohnHoulgate I was trying to riff on the Which One’s Pink ? joke. Obviously, they’re ALL Hooples.
@@CasperLCat 🤣🤣🤣
The one who loves eating applesauce? 😃
08:32 "...Is Your Mum Watching?" Cringe moment. lol
Did she say her name was Julie?
@stephenhowes8937 Anyone ever meet a girl named Julie that didn't look like her??? Truly adorable....❤
Why does he have to rip on LA?
Of course it's tongue in cheek,, but most UK bands would be dying to get to break in the good old USA. Is Ian already tired of playing Davids song?
