Mott The Hoople - "Saturday Gigs" - Oct. 6, 2009

[@stevendimmock4791]

If, like me, you are a Mott fan of old, you will know that the only way to end a Mott gig is with 'saturday gigs'. The lights fade, the crowd cheers and once more we are left with the memories of one of the greatest bands there ever was. At least we still have the albums to listen to and youtube.

[@stevendimmock4791]

God I miss Mott!!! I think I always will.

[@juveniledelinquentwr]

Flew over for all 5 shows at the Hammy, never seen so many grown men cry. Might have even had a tear myself. Amazing shows.

I've just finished reading Pete Watts book, The Man Who Hated Walking. I haven't laughed so much since Spike Milligan! I can highly recommend it to any Mott fan! RIP Pete & Buff.

[@runingblackbear]

it is so nice to see mott the hoople play again ( thanks guys )

[@UserNameOneMillion]

Oh man...This was so moving. When they disappeared singing 'good-bye' it was almost ghostly.

[@kelso1958]

I must have been a couple of rows behind you. Came in from New York to see them. Quite a show...Still the best!!!

[@pqnaudiofloatsales269]

what a great band..Mott the frickin Hoople.

[@MrMikeytenerife]

Thankyou so much for this I couldnt be there but now it feels fantastic to see and hear this love it cheers Mike

[@tbjdiamonddog]

Classic Mott

[@bobbyballoch]

Damn fine song, damn fine band and damn fine night!

[@JakartaMick]

My birthday was on the 7th so desperately wanted to be there but was 7,000 miles away. Thanks for posting this, real lump in the throat stuff. Wish I'd been there.

[@michelletonks2270]

Oh man. What a great group Mott were (are). Hunter magnificent, as usual. Ralph's, wow. Can't put many groups in their bracket. Brilliant.

[@MrMeadfoot]

Big Pete laying it, god bless him. God bless Buff as well, and the man Mick Ralphs xxx

[@Augmuse]

They really need to take this on a World Tour. A live DVD and a new album would make this old guy very happy. Still kicking ass! Love live Mott the Hoople

[@MrMeadfoot]

Hope you got there mate, please tell me you got to see them, looking for a reply 10yrs later lol, hope all is well mate.

[@travelingwilbury1]

Thanks Ofifoto. Just been re-living it all again. I was there 2nd night and last night. Great vids and great sound. The best I've seen on here. The trouble is, every gig I've been to since has seemed tame by comparison. Long live Mott! "Thanks for great trip"

[@gfrkiss]

Went on the 1st , 2nd and last night..(front row!!)...Still can't watch this without moist eyes... 2009 belonged to Mott...

[@johndonato607]

Wow...Mott still rules...brings back so many great memories.

[@markbrooks4471]

A beautiful finale to Mott's last stand. Goodbye to Mick Ronson, Dale Griffin, Pete Watts.

[@MindthegapMonday]

Best show ending song ever.

[@freebird1974]

I'm from St. Louis MO and there is this kick ass radio station called KSHE. They have been around since 1967. With that being said almost all the under-rated rock bands from the late 60's70's80's90's are called KSHE Classics. These classics are NOT forgotten around here KSHE plays them all the time. Mott is no exception to a Kshe Classic. Check this station out if you do not believe me. They are online. Just do a Search for KSHE 95

[@patrickmichels7888]

The last song Mott ever did. Mick Ronson originally played guitar. I've always loved this song. Its sentimental and what Ian does the best: makes you emotional. The end of the greatests underground cult band in history.

[@jimfrawley6763]

And how fucking brilliant his last words with Mott were “ goodbye “ and his first word on his first solo album was “Allo!”

[@blackknightrockband]

THAT WAS AMAZING !!!!!!! i hope they come to Australia.... (but why would they) :(

[@paulgoodchild7781]

Mick Ronson, Ian Hunter, the WHOLE 'Mott the Hoople' crew,,,B R I L L I A N T

[@ofifoto]

Paul Goodchild Well... no Mick Ronson, as he died in 1993.

[@paulgoodchild7781]

Correct,,,& I was lucky enough to watch the extremely talented Ian Hunter and MICK BEFORE- he died...live in Worthing...it was fantastic,,, hence-"Mick Ronsons a great guitarist"...RIP~

[@stevendimmock4791]

And read Overends book, it's brilliant.

[@oneWASPfan]

Thanks for posting.

[@morganfjp]

@tazzie03 Thanks for the mention - Tazzie. I have to say that this was the song that worked worse without my presence! Morgan

[@stevendimmock4791]

That's so special when the crowd won't let it stop. I was recently at an Ed Sheeran concert where they didn't only want it to stop, several of the more physical members of of the audience threw Him out of the window!!

[@GreenerHill]

They'll be back! :)

[@MindthegapMonday]

Going to see Ian and the Rant Band this coming Friday everning. I'll not be upset if they play this one. Hard to match the passion here, though.

[@gwenever4954]

RIP Dale Griffin :(

[@Dvincenzo]

I was there in the second row...We just waved them off sans Buffin

[@shrunkenheadache]

thank you for yet another excellent video.Have you got "one of the boys"?If so could you please post. Thanks again

[@glumpy6079]

Just came!

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

Verdan and Ralpher even learned the later period tunes that they weren’t on.Is this Hammersmith reunion gig

[@bobdavis761]

Yes, Hammersmith.

[@andrews527]

Lovely fellers, always was.

[@ofifoto]

Sorry, shrunkenheadache, I never did get a shot of OOTB...

[@kevinggoodchild6296]

Seems they could have done an alternative set of material not used take your pick should have finished with Rose

[@acommenter5184]

Keving Goodchild - seems they could choose what they wanted to play and finish with what they wanted to play.

[@morganfjp]

musically, that is - not emotionally
