Ariel Bender Morgan Fisher And Ian with his Maltese cross guitar. Doesn't get any better.

[@marlonelliot8943]

It would have been nice if Overend, Mick, and Buffin could have been there

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Cool, but I preferred his "H" axe.

[@Prousto]

Looking great, sounding soulful, vital and joyous. Age is meaningless when you have that intangible feel...long live the Mott.

[@paulwood7798]

Still a stonking song. Love You, Miss You Overend.

[@garyt5582]

Love this song,love that album!

[@DesignerLuv]

I've seen Ian & Rant in small clubs here in the US recently and his voice is very good and I do attribute it to not smoking anymore

[@DesignerLuv]

It's so inspiring to see you guys up there still rocking!!!

[@rosemarymills1671]

Smoking, drinking and coking improved David Bowie's voice over the years. His voice was deeper and richer. Age helped too.

[@MrMeadfoot]

Brilliant !!! Long live the Mott !

[@robertmcneill8831]

that guitar- it informed my teen rock star aspirations!

[@jimandlizhudson2501]

A band that still REALLY means it.

[@TomGuerra1]

Greatness...pure and simple!

[@verdantacres4460]

Always loved these guys.

[@DesignerLuv]

Pete, Dale we miss you greatly wish you were still here to play. In saying that, hope you're with Mick & David jamming away 🎼🥁🎸🎤🎶😘🙏

[@jimbomartin8979]

[@applemanuk]

Fantastic! Thanks fr posting this video … can’t wait to see the rest of the songs with Luther and Morgan.

[@Pdm1915]

THANK YOU from a fan in Australia

[@robchell9196]

Saw the '74 tour at the Uris. Queen and Mott were tremendous.

[@Barb5001]

I was there also. on opening night I still remember how there was actually a marionette on stage during this song On opening night, it was like a Broadway opening. The ushers at the beginning of the concert were saying "Please sir, put on that cigarette". Toward the end they were saying "Hey jack put out that fucking joint." They learned. that we were not the topical well mannered Broadway crowd. It was the height of the "glitter rock" era. Of all the concerts I have been to, that one was the best.. BTW one thing that was a bit strange is that Morgan Fisher played piano off stage .

[@robchell9196]

@@Barb5001 - he wasn’t hiding next to Buffin?

[@Barb5001]

Do you have reading comprehension issue? I was cleanly referring to the Uris theater concert. BTW, Luther (Arial Bender) is as as flashy and animated as ever.

[@robchell9196]

@@Barb5001 - I was referring to Morgan Fisher. I remember Ian introduced Fisher. “The lights being what they are Morgan eventually appears”.....Being a classical pianist, I was very influenced by his playing.

[@BernardColdwell]

Great song, good to hear it again. Glad to see Mott has still got it! Let them wires rock!

[@loubabinga4229]

Thank YOU!

[@user-vb8rf2hn5v]

this guys are STILL AMAZING ********* !!!!!!!! Or maybe ... in their best !!!!!! good luck to your Reunion-concerts Motts ... hope to see you at 20/4/19 at Glasgow!! With love from Greece, Kostas

[@LaPanIAm_]

Still a great fuckin' tune!

[@TomGuerra1]

Ian actually sings this better than he did in 1974! Amazing!

[@davidsleger5824]

not quite, haha. But pretty good for a 79 year old.

[@TomGuerra1]

David Sleger - 100% serious...live, he used to strain on this...he’s actually singing it better in my opinion. Way more breath control.

[@rocksteady9115]

MamboSons good for his age but voice nowhere near 1974

[@TomGuerra1]

Rock Steady - I think it’s because he quit smoking. He’s developed amazing vocal control.

[@lizkrinsky5209]

@@TomGuerra1 his is better, more control. His voice has more stamina now.

[@user-ff3mj6sr9u]

Fucking Great Band. Ian is King. The Best ❤

[@mikepuchalski9634]

Great song 👍

[@stevesharpe361]

I swear Queen got the inspiration & blueprint for Bo Rap from 'Marionette'...and of course Queen/Smile were name checked in the lyrics.

[@twiggyb01]

excellent. do you have more?

[@tune7333]

Insane lyrics...no-one like him.

[@DanniKrash]

Did anybody shoot some footage of them performing Alice if so please post thank you!

[@GreenerHill]

Was hoping the same! Think they played Alice at all three shows...

And let the wires rock

[@jondiez7910]

And Freddie Mercury said: Everybody watch, this is the birth...

[@michaelmaldonado7369]

Hard to believe that Overend, Buffin, Ronno, and Ziggy are all gone.......

[@joemorris143]

It keeps slipping into Street fighting man.

[@TheDominos1]

Does anyone but me want to unplug Ariel Benders air guitar? What's up with this guy?

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

do they ever do "Whiz Kid" or "Alice" live?

[@graftedbranch7246]

Is anyone able to understand what Ian said about Freddie Mercury when he was introducing the song?

[@markbowles2382]

oh god these wires are tight....

[@timballard27]

erm...It's 2018!

[@raymondharper]

Clean the chimneys kids it's 1974

[@jackprzybylek2412]

And erm...The Stones are still making music.

[@ichbinvegetarische7471]

I've always suspected this song may have inspired Bohemian Rhapsody. Now what's with all the talking as Ian Hunter talks? Other people paid to hear MOTT, not you

[@robbrown6934]

did Mott pass away? With Mr. Tull.

[@josephzaremba5765]

I loved this song growing up. The 70's and 80's were great. Its been on ball of shit ever since. The music has sucked except for the old dudes keeping it real. These kids need to go back to what Rock n Roll was and modernize it a little. But you need the attitude. These kids don't know shit! Funny I sound a little like my Father?
