Mott The Hoople - Roll Away The Stone

in ((((STEREO))). Also note the most un-funky studio audience in the history of television. They appear determined to not enjoy the show.

Great music... but the show? Which show? This is a fake TV live show, not a single note was live here, just canned music with mimicked playing..... maybe that explains why the audience is acting like a dead fish.

Really don't like the anti-german prejudice in some comments here... fake shows like this were very common all over the world in the 70ies.

@timothybrannigan - I DID TOO!!! Finally, REDEMPTION! I found someone else who was there! . People have never believed me when I told them. They say Queen would never open a theatre for someone like Mott. I think it was the first or one of the first shows Queen played in the US. They sure looked alot different than they did it later years. Boy would I like to get a bootleg of that show. I loved Mott and no one wanted to go w/me so I went myself. Do you remember the setlist?

@tomkittelkey

Absolutely right. Hunter makes a good effort trying to make it appear that the little girl is singing but he can't pull it off, and the attempt to make her seem like she is filling in for the whole choir is laughable. But you are also right that this stuff was more the rule than the exception during the seventies.

The very first vid I watched on youtube, Jan 2006

[timothybrannigan]

I saw Mott The Hoople at The Uris Theater, on Broadway, in the '70s. Queen was the opening act!

at least they resisted to the urge to muck about like some of the bands did on Top of the Pops.

Hey, where's Buffin?

[AttilaThe1]

WTF? Looks like lips moving to something else like you expect in an old Godzilla movie?

[BrandonsVictim]

Hahaha I thought this was a Mumford & Sons cover

[scotsmaninusa]

anyone else notice that's Simon Fox from Be Bop Deluxe on drums.

Buffin must've been ill at the time.
