This 2 CD Live expanded release celebrates the 30th anniversary of Mott The Hoople's Broadway concert at the Uris Theatre (now The Gershwin Theatre)in New York City in May 1974. CD 1 is the Broadway show which is harder edged and sharp, and CD 2 is the Hammersmith Odeon show from London in December 1973, which is powerful but with a warmer feel. The original album in 1974 had only a part of each show, and the new release has 13 previously unreleased live tracks. There is a 24 page colour booklet, new liner notes, and previously unseen photos. The rock group Queen was a support group to Mott The Hoople, and the group Led Zeppelin came to see Mott The Hoople at the Broadway show. I saw Mott The Hoople at a concert in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1974, and hearing this new double live CD brought back fond memories. The concert I saw is in my top 3 all time favorite concerts. Mott The Hoople was the first rock band to play Broadway, and the sound on this new release is improved from the original. CD 1 (Broadway)lasts 64 min. 56 sec., and CD 2 (Hammersmith) lasts 60 min. 8 sec.

At last; a proper release for this masterpiece of a live album in tribute to one of the great rock'n'roll bands of the mid-seventies . Mott the Hoople "Live" was originally released in 1974 , but because of time restraints, only part of two concerts were put out as the first vinyl bound release . This consisted of five songs from a concert of their week long residency at the Uris theatre Broadway May 1974, and three songs from their end of tour Christmas gigs 1973 , at London's Hammersmith Odeon, hardly satisfactory . As none of the songs ran in order , there were two songs midway through each side "Rose" and "Rest In Peace " which were used in the sets to give the members of the band a bit of a breather from all the leaping about, neither side had an opening number , and side one ended with a truncated version of the final encore, whilst side two closed with the end of the set proper, so although there were plenty of flashes of excitement , nothing like the full thing.
Here you get the both concerts ( Unfortunately there was a recording glitches at Hammersmith and we lose " Hymn For The Dudes " and "All The Way From Memphis" , and time constraints meant one song had to be culled from the Broadway show and Ariel Bender's solo track " Here Comes The Queen '' was left off which is a shame , but not really a Mott The Hoople number anyway.) in their proper running order .The results are simply devastating .
At this time ( Late 73 to early 74.

In all honesty, I got quite heavily into MTH sort of...late, sort of "by default," I guess. In truth, I already had (and knew by heart) "Ian Hunter" and "All American Alien Boy." But I distinctly remember getting back from overseas and then, up nawth, '74, and then asking my baby brother (who was a bit of an expert on such...things...), "what's cool, what should I be listening to?" And all he, obviously uninterested in the question that someone in a uniform posed, would but reply "MARIONETTE! MARIONETTE!" I passed, and began getting heavily into Procol Harum. A couple of years later, Columbia released a double-album sort of thing called "Shades Of Ian Hunter." It was an epiphany. Not only was I introduced to "Overnight Angels" on side 4, but side 3 had something like, uh, "hidden gems" or something. And I was finally able to LISTEN TO "Marionettte" in its full, unmolested form - and I dashed out to purchase "MTH-Live." And the only adjective I could think of, upon listening, was "truncated." NO "Marionette," NO "The Golden Age Of Rock And Roll" with its wretchedly-wonderful guitar solo. "Well," I thought, ever the wit, "Once bitten, twice shy, or somethin'." And now, it's 30 years later, my brother works for the CDC in Atlanta, and is into "swing." I'm still into rock and roll, but as there really isn't that much demand for a skinny, 50+y/o bass player with multiple sclerosis, I frequent "open mike" nights at the local pubs, and wait... But here is "MTH Live" in all its pure, unadulterated glory, so for tonight (at least), I believe I'll...um, "bend my brain" a bit, put the stereo headphones on a long, long extension cord, get comfortably supine, and gloriously enjoy listening to what I missed out on in 1974. Oh, and by the way, Brian May's "essay" is marvelous!

It goes to show you that no matter how much I learn about the music business there are still some things that I just don't think I will ever understand. Case in point, the initial release of this album. Culled from their groundbreaking run of shows on Broadway (with Queen as the support act) and their rule-breaking performance at the Hammersmith Odeon and released shortly after Ian Hunter's announcement of his departure for a solo career, this was only a single disc release! How could they? One of the strongest live acts of the early 70's and THIS was to be their statement upon the world of the vaulted "Live Album"? Thankfully, this was rectified and we are now left with a 23(!) track release that correctly gives the final statement on the band's career. The only downside is that material from their first four albums is cut to about only two or three songs while the last three releases make up the bulk of the sets. Is that a bad thing, no. More of an observation. Still, the band is hot and the performances are inspired. Too bad more live material with Mick Ralphs isn't around, I thought that Ariel Bender wasn't that great of a lead guitarist myself; his style to me wasn't disciplined enough, had too many bends and he had a weak sense of rhythm. Still, his style strangely fits these tumultuous performances. Kicking off each show was an intro from Holst's "Jupiter" before kicking in to "American Pie/Golden Age of Rock N Roll" (Broadway shows) or "Drivin Sister" (Hammersmith shows). After that, it's every man for themselves as they tear through "Sucker", "All The Way from Memphis" and "Walkin With a Mountain" among others. I feel that this is also an essential release for any Mott fan. It was their live show that kept them alive through the lean years and when the crowds came they delivered still with fire, energy and incredible songs. It's such a great thing to see this album restored to it's rightful glory.
