Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Was never a bit Mottram fan though I love Ian Hunter's first solo album which I still have. Watts was a good guitarist however the 70's was full of that type. Just a personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vambo57 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Remember going to see Mott The Hoople at The Apollo. They were great, but the support band were fantastic and got 3 encores... You can't beat a bit of early Queen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In deed Queen were the support band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In deed Queen were the support band. Naw. It was definitely Mott The Hoople, November 1971 I think. II was around 14 at the time. My mate Jim from Renfrew and I were walking past The Apollo on the night of the Gig and he noticed the 'Tonight' Poster for Mott and he wanted to go in... I was not that keen (I mean it was approx 95p to get in!!!), until I saw the Support band's name on the poster. That swung it for me. I had heard Queen for the first time the night before on the OGWT doing 'Keep Yourself Alive' to an old black & white cartoon of two trains racing each other, as was the kind of thing the OGWT did before videos came along. Great night. Edited January 23, 2017 by Vambo57 Just had a look and it was Nov 1973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
