Ian Hunter is 68.

I hope he's still around in October.

Were they any good?

I never saw any pictures from these gigs - does he still have the hair?

I assume he wore the shades.

Yes, he still has the shades and curly hair. Here is a clip from their Hammersmith Show,

Thanks for the link - excellent and my favourite Mott track (well, it has to be because I'm a big Bowie fan).

For some reason they played it real slow - I did wonder if the recording was slowed down because I tend to sit in front of my computer with my guitar and on playing along I noticed that this rendition appears to have been tuned down 1/2 a tone. Hunters voice sounds okay though so I guess he just decided to tune down and play at a slightly slower tempo.

I looked at some of the other tracks and they were great - I'm sorry I didn't go now.

Hope I still rock like that when I'm his age!
