Mott the Hoople: Mott The Hoople Live (Columbia)
Ken Barnes, Phonograph Record, January 1975
IF YOU HAVEN'T heard already, this album's a scorcher. Offhand I can't think of a live album that tops Mott's 50-minute opus here, but I'm not trying too hard. I'm still a little dizzy from the closing medley masterpiece.
