Mott the Hoople Reunion Concert No. 4

The Monday night show would be the last one for us. We had booked our flights before the 4th and 5th shows were announced and were flying home on Tuesday. Mott would have to go on without us. It felt strange to think there would be a show without us there. Since the set list is the same for all nights there is less and less to say about the show each time. I can say that they were just getting better and better and the last show for us would have us in our best seats right at the front. So this was the BIG show for us. I got some pretty good shots so I will match up the the pictures song for song.

As Ian was singing "did you see the suits and the platform boots", Joe Elliott came out on stage parading around holding up a bright blue platform boot.










Ian directs the crowd in a chorus of "goodbye, goodbye" as the band leaves the stage.

  1. Was there an "official" video/dvd/recording made of these shows? Would love to get a copy.
