Live at Hammersmith 1973

Live at Hammersmith 1973 is probably the best live recording in Mott the Hoople’s archive. The group was riding on the crest of a wave at the time, parading their hit singles All the Young Dudes and Roll Away the Stone, and promoting their critically acclaimed Top 10 album, Mott.

Mott the Hoople played two shows at the Hammersmith Odeon on 14th December 1973 and the second set became famous in rock folklore when theatre staff and stewards grappled with invading fans, while Mott played on and sought to defy the venue’s “curfew.”

Released following acclaimed 2018 and 2019 Mott reunion concerts, this enhanced vinyl captures the fire and brimstone of the band’s 1973 show and their battling finale, as they conclude a memorable night with a scorching version of Walkin’ with a Mountain. Featuring sparkling renditions of Sweet Jane, Sucker and Mo’s memorable, 15 minute Deadly Medley, the passion, the power and the glory are all here - six of the nine cuts appearing on vinyl for the first time.
