Mott The Hoople
Live In Sweden 1971
The British magazine Melody Maker once said that MTH would rock on good days like the best band in the world. " That was
not exaggerated, the British Power Blues band led by singer Ian Hunter and guitarist Mick Ralphs developed especially
for their concerts on the stage an incredibly punchy interplay. After the live tour in 1971, when the present title was
recorded, the band was about to dissolve because of the more conservative sales of their studio albums. It was the
band's big fan David Bowie, who wrote them in 1972 with "All The Young Dudes" a veritable hit on the chest, placed them
in glitter and on platform shoes, and Mott The Hoople became one of the leading glam rock bands of the Seventies.
Without Mick Ralphs, who was replaced by Luther Grosvenor (Spooky Tooth) aka Ariel Bender on guitar.
On their Sweden tour in 1971, Ralphs was still in the process - and how! These recordings were taken from the possession
of bassist Overend Watts and mean the uncut second half of the concert in Stockholm - including the encore of the
furious "Keep A Knockin '." The first half of the concert is unfortunately missing. The original comments by Ian Hunter
and Mick Ralphs were taken over by the full way.
