This is marvellous. Buffin wielding a pair of oars, mocking the lip synching they were forced to do, Ariel looking cool in his new persona, The Thunderthighs delightful and delighted, as they "Push, Push!", and Ian effortlessly commanding all. I wish the camera had been back a little farther to capture Ian's magisterial hand movements.
@dukeofcandoa I guess Thats how you spell this. With all do respect to Ian and his great music he is not even in the same league as Robert Plant. So what if has aged better? What are you saying subconsciously? That you would rather blow Ian than Robert?
-I'm a straight guy-but if I had to blow one of them it would be Ian. Cuz I am a lover of the punk/glam stuff I just like Ian's stuff better. I mean if you like punk you probably like Mott best and if you like metal you probably like Zeppelin best. Even tho Mott isn't punk and zep isn't metal. they helped lay the groundwork for those respective genres. I will say I think Robert would've been a great glam singer tho with all his moves on stage!
@v1m Depends what you like I suppose, Bowie gave away ATYD's for a reason perhaps? Not one of his better ones perhaps? (and doing IH a favour as he knew it would get radio play with his name attached. Personally I prefer this almost everything from the 1973 / 74 albums Mott and The Hoople over the Bowie track, and I love Bowie.
I saw Mott the Hoople play in Indianapolis around Halloween in 1973. What can I say? Saw Ian Hunter around 10 years ago in a bar I hung out in Manhattan. Still looked good, can't say the same for Robert Plant

YES! Also, nice Les Paul - maybe this is the moment when Mick Jones realized that the double cutaway Les Paul is in fact the coolest geetar on the planet?
I remember seeing Mott at the Greens Playhouse in Glasgow in the early 70's . Great stuff . I'm sure Queen were support act on one show round about issue of seven seas of rhye. Hard to believe Ian Hunter is 72 now !!! Good god where have the years gone . Keep breathing everyone there's no alternative .
Sheet, this song is great in any era. Good stuff is good stuff. I love the way Mott swung, held that feeling of innocence along with glamrock showmanship. Mott and the Dolls hold a place in my heart for being throwbacks while just grabbing you by the throat with their sheer power.
@mrwibbles1 oh yeah, I just missed the 70s in terms of age but Mott and the NY dolls do something primeval to me like I was sucking on the teat of that greatness before I knew how great it was!
MOTT THE HOOPLE BROUGHT OUT SOME GREAT SONGS DURING THE 70'S (ESPECIALLY THIS ONE) IAN HUNTER WAS PART OF RINGO STARR'S ALL STARR BAND A FEW YEARS BACK (AS WAS GREG LAKE)
The name is from a Willard Manus novel about a circus freak. There are some great bands now but back then the bands didn't have a slew of foot pedals and special effects so horns and background singers were hi-tech. Mott always rocked and died way too soon.
I like Mott the Hoople but I think their over-reliance on girl backing singers was a shame. Did they release a single after "all the way from memphis" that didn't have girl back singers on ? I think they listened to Dark Side of the Moon and decided that was the way all records should sound (e.g Hymn for the Dudes).
chips were 12p a portion where I lived in73/74 and me and a schoolmate used to get double portions every Friday lunchtime. This song was a great tonic only one month after having to endure England's failure to qualify for the world cup
@kingbleah And chips were 4p and 5p for a larger bag where I lived in 1973 ! Wish it was back then ; I was a bit young for a shag aged 10 but I loved this music....and the chips were pretty good as well !
@Markgcr It was the backing group, Thunderthighs (Karen Friedman, Dari Lalou, and Casey Synge). They also did the backing vocals on Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side". Thanks.

Had this song on a mix of radio tunes i recorded with my crappy panasonic table top cassette recorder. Put recorder in front of mom and dads stereo speakers in the livingroom rec. w/ crap mic. Record the songs that come on that are interesting. But this was one of those songs I never was into back then but it grew on me listening to the mix. Had not heard it since listening to that tape last time 20 yrs +. So very nastalgic now to see it being performed for 1st time. I dig Ian a rock guru.
Love this track..., from a decade of power cuts, short time working, low wages, strikes, etc, etc....., sounds grim does,nt it ?.., but you know what ? I,d swap this time now for then, I had a great time !
fucking love hunter's cockney voice. grew up with my dad frequently playing his solo album 'your never alone with a schizophrenic'. always liked it but it wasn't until later that i found out he had a whole legacy before it
@Gusdocs1 Top 40 every Sunday [Tom Brown,Jimmy Saville,Tony Blackburn,Tommy Vance, Bruno Brookes etc]. TOTP every Thursday. Listened and watched to both religiously. Load of shite these days even though I still listen [not TOTP cos no more]
Saw Mott at the Friars Club in Aylesbury, back in '73, brilliant time, and I am glad that I grew up in that era. Any other people from Aylesbury here?
Yes, the late 60's and 70's were great. But it's great now too. Dig the bands out there now Cage the Elephant, Mumford & Sons and (the best) Green Day, and all the great Ska revival bands. I'm 57 and I still like the new stuff...
@pez53 Going to see Badness next month, they are brill. I am 57 but i still do the funny dances to Madness around my workshop when they come on the radio.
Sorry to say but by the time Mott the Hoople recorded this album, Mick Ralphs was already in Bad Company, I dont remember who replaced him , but thats him playing the guitar in this video, not Mick Ralphs... But great tune from a great band either way...
Great Band, Great Songs and Great 70's songs, and Ian Hunter the lead singer was Born in Oswestry Shropshire. Now thats a first where is Oswestry you may say. A backward market town run but idiots on the council.
I saw mott the hoople at the mayfair in 1970 at Newcastle before they got into this glam shit, they where a great live band and the first album was really good, I still play it trying to relive my youth
@Jlipnicki i think this is the thunderthighs singing with mott the hoople. thunderthighs did get some recognition. in fact, they almost released their own album.
Shocking to think that I can remember watching this on "Top of the Pops" - and not TOTP2 either! I used to stop doing my homework so I could get my 30 minutes of music every week. Happy days! And of course this is a great track... Thanks for posting!

Shocking to think that I can remember watching this on "Top of the Pops" - and not TOTP2 either! I used to stop doing my homework so I could get my 30 minutes of music every week. Happy days! And of course this is a great track... Thanks for posting!

My tenuous claim to fame regarding this bang is their manager used to live across the road from my grandparents in Hereford.
