5.0 out of 5 stars Everything a live album should be, March 13, 2001

Reading the other reviews of this album I get the impression that the other reviewers are more familiar with the history of the band and are not actually judging this album on its own merits. There is nothing "tired" about these recordings. This is rock n' roll at its best. Fun and energetic, warts and all. If you want an album that sounds like it was recorded in the studio with a huge audience overdubbed, this is not it. If you want an album that lets you feel what it might have been like to be there on the first row when the rock still rolled, get this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explosive!, August 30, 2001

Lots of people like to dis Ariel Bender, the Mott the Hoople guitarist between Mick Ronson and Mick Ralphs, but he dominates this live album, in a great way. He adds an interesting metallic touch to the Dylan/Stones nature of Mott the Hoople, and this album has a brutal edge. The medley from the English Hammersmith shows is worth the price of admission all by itself. It's more glorious noise from one of rock's greatest treasures, and if you think rock 'n' roll is more than a nice collection of notes and beats, you owe it to yourself to own this CD. Of course, it would have been nice if they had expanded the set list (a la Live At Leeds) when it moved from LP to CD, but that's life.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Hoople Rocks Broadway, January 24, 2000

Hey kids, I gotta tell ya, back in '74 Mott may have been coming to an end, but they still rocked. This disc consists of two shows, one in New York where they played the Uris Theater on Broadway (the first rock band to play on Broadway) and a show at London's Hammersmith Odeon. The band tears through nuggets like "Angeline", "Walking With a Mountain" and the medley from the London show are a rollicking good time. If you dig Mott, this disc will not disappoint you.
