I know there are still a few here who hold great affection for Mott the Hoople. Despite the deaths of Overend Watts and Buffin, and the ill health of Mick Ralphs, Ian Hunter is joining with Verden Allen and Luther Grosvenor - Arial Bender - to reform the 1974 version of Mott for eight US dates and eight UK dates in April. The rest of the band will be filled out with Ian's magnificent Rant Band.
This will be the first US tour for Mott in 45 years, and very likely the last.
I don't know if I'll be successful, but I'm going to try for at least the Detroit and Cleveland shows. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to score photo credentials, I don't know. For those of you who are interested, general sales begin on Friday, January 25 at these links:
