SlyCat, this is the absolute truth, I was in a crowd of folk that booed Bryan May and the rest of Queen off stage.  The Reason? They were the support band to Mott The Hoople.They came on Half an hour late, everyone there went to see MTH.After just two attempted songs Queen were totally booed off.Their manager came out on stage and said a classic;"IF you dont stop booing, Queen will not come back on stage"With this cue, we didn't and they didn't, job done.  MTH came on with a blistering set, Aerial bender instead Of Micky Ronson (RIP MIcky you well loved Yorkie)And Lyndsey De Paul guested for the bridge on Roll away the stone.Mott were soon to split up, but their legacy lived on added to by Hunters solo albumns often co-written With Mick Ronson,Who Mott the hoople Had "purloined" from Bowies spiders from mars.  0000 saw something staggering happen.  Mott the Hoople reformed for a what was initially to be a couple of dates.The ticket sales took everyone by surprise, sold out in minits.No one was more surprised than Ian Hunter.They extended their reunion to a whole week at Hammersmith odeon in London.  I met folk outside the venue that had travelled from California, Philedelphia, Norway, Canada, Germany, and a couple from Australia, who told me they had spent their retirement pension getting and staying here for the week.  Folk had come from the world over.  Some had waited forty years for this, never believing it would happen. Dudes and Dudettes packed the house, The House lights went off and Holsts Jupiter was played, as the lights came back up, I was trying to hold back a flood of tears, a big dude next to me said "Your not on your own bro" he had tears, and never have I actually seen as many grown folk with tears,everywhere I looked.  MTH came on stage like a bunch of twenty year olds, this was not going to be some sedate reunion of passive old timers oh no.Hunter jumped up in the air and came down with the opening chords of HYmn for the dudes blasting over the tale end of jupiter, and everyone ran to the front of the stage...just like you are meant to do if enjoying oneself at a rock concert.  MT hooples original drummer Dale griifin (buffin) had been ill, he has altzheimers, and his condition had worsened, he was replaced with Martin chambers from the pretenders who did a first class job.There were two drumkits on stage, so we knew something was going to happen concerning them.  Joe eliiot from Def leopard was on stage with Hoople, and at one point he actually escorted someone who had got on stage off, into the wings.  Mott were astonishing, full of energy, Hunter never staying still, moving around more than most shoe gazing twenty year olds, almost unbelieveable to think he is in his seventies. A truly uplifting and inspirational force.  For three numbers as an encore, Buffin was helped onto stage and to his drum kit, To a rapture of applause from the crowd Martin chambers nursed him through the three numbers. Tinged with sadness as this was, it was a fitting end to the show that had seen Hunter, Verden allen, and Overend watts on their feet for a full two hours without a break.  For a short while, in London, at the Hammersmith, Rock n Roll had returned with a vengence.  And all the young and not so young dudes went away happy.  Wow I havent gone off topic yet! excellent, this is going well. (you cant have Queen without MTH)  _________________________  Rise like lions after slumber,in unvanquishable number.
