64 here heading to 65...70s England had issues but the music was out of this world. Whatever genre you liked. Some classic anthems...this makes my top 20 all day long. So glad I lived thru that...where is my time machine.
You sir should be a "ratings attorney". Of course you've probably heard that a thousand times. But I'll say it again; "you sir should be a ratings attorney".
He was do humble that he didn't want to be rated. He was just for the music and encouraging others. In spite of this he was godlike in his demeanor and talent.
In my opinion, this is THE perfect rock n roll performance. Everything about it is pure genius. If there was a primer on how to build a rock n roll song - the opening tongue in cheek lead vocals, the gradual layering of instruments and backup vocals, the drum riff leading into the bridge, the scorching guitar solo and the climactic final verse - it's all there in this one song.
The Ronson Hunter hook up was musically perfect. Mick was a monumental badass and Ian was and still is cooler than a penguin's flipper. A true tragedy to lose MR the way we did but everytime i hear his guitar solo on Moonage Daydream i believe in miracles!!!! R.I.P Ronno you beast. We miss you down here.
strictlynorton. The Wildhearts claim the last recorded guitar solo from Ronson was on their song "my baby is a headfuck" from their Earth vs. Wildhearts album. Anyone know if this is true?
Is he "criminally overlooked" & "feloniously underrated"? That would be the perfect RU-vid description. And then to be a "National Force of Treasure" would be the ultimate.
More classics songs were produced back then, because you didn't get a look-in unless you had talent! How else can one account for so many classics being produced with less technology & less people producing the finished product? The composers, musicians, producers & sound technicians simply possessed more individual talent than that of today. Quality over quantity.
Love this video. It should be cleaning my apartment and instead I have watched this now for the...... fifth time in a row..... and am clicking replay again. The dust can wait.
I remember buying the Hunter Ronson album , listening to that… when the power chords came in…. It was like an electric shock.. fantastic searing wah solo. Nice to see Ian using Ronno’s #1 Les Paul, one of the most distinctive guitars of all time.
I've watched this video dozens of times and tonight just noticed that this could be the guitar swap. Was trying to make out if the pickup covers were missing on the guitar the IH is playing to determine if they switched for some reason.

@@AndrewMoizer get the live welcome to the club album, screw the video, another hof standard panzy not in.
Saw Hunter and Ronson at the old Glasgow Apollo just after Mott split up mid 70's. Still one of the best concerts I ever saw. And Ronno on guitar was simply awesome to watch.
Mick Robson was a producer and my favorite of the seventies He played with Lou read wrote so many songs you gotta do a deep dive on this guy is amazing
I’ve been a Bowie nut since 1972, and Mick Ronson was a huge part of that obsession. As for Lou, Transformer would not have been the masterpiece it is without Mick. As for Ian Hunter, Mick was just what he needed. What an album!
A great song and performance. This was released at a time in my life when apart from the odd mis-step, things always seemed to be positive and generally looking up. It didn’t last.
anything Mick Ronson was in and the talent factor skyrocketed. what a consummate artist and person he was. greatly missed but not forgotten. descansa en la paz siempre, el Maestro.
Just looking for my long ago rock stars - Ian and Mick are as underrated as any in history - Ian was (and still is a genius and influence) and Mick was one of the great guitarists - I was lucky enough to see them live a LONG time ago, but will always remember - and with with all respect to Great White - this will always be the original
LOVE THIS SONG! Ian Hunter you are a star. Mick Ronson you are the best rock 'n' roll guitarist, musician, songwriter, arranger this planet has ever known! In my humble opinion, of course.....
I agree with you Brummie . . . I went from Stafford to Oswestry just to feel I was in the place where the great man came from! Brilliant voice+Mott the H.
Oh, my God. Mercy! the chicks, the snarliness, Freakin ballad.just rolls and Rolls< i did' nt know what rock n roll was Ian or great white, what does it matter! once bitten twivce shy
this song has been one of my favorite songs for over a two years, which is very very rare for me, and i really think that this will stay on my playlists for a really long time after this. :)
I was 14 years old and remember listening to this on a crystal set under the covers at night when I was supposed to be sleeping (my parents kept hassling me about listening to "that modern rubbish") an absolute classic!
Been a Ian Hunter fan since I heard "All the Young Dudes" on top 40 radio when it was a hit back in the early 70s...Just love finding this treasure of a video...Mick Ronson is so under-rated...
I saw Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson open for BOC at the Boston Garden in 1975 and they did all the great Mott The Hoople songs, great memories of an epic show.
One the greatest rock songs of all time. And made even more amazing by the fact that, in spite of cranking out an awesome bass line, the bass player is never seen putting finger to string...
One of the greatest rock & roll songs ever. So glad I got to see them do this in the day - such an amazing band live - Ian Hunter is a genius at building a song up and up to a glorious finale.
