Funnily enough Scorcese used this song for a road scene in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - a great film starring Ellen Burstyn, the mother in The Exorcist. He also used Bolan's Jeepster. Great lesson in how well placed music can make a film.
@@pjconnor8033 Not to quibble but "All the Way From Memphis" was used in the opening scene. The son is blowing out his eardrums with his head between two huge speakers and Mott blaring. Elton John's 'Daniel' is played as the station wagon drives through the desert Southwest. Agreed, Scorcese is a film god.
This is what rock n’ roll is to me: theatrical, teary-eyed, over-the-top and larger than life. The fact that Ian Hunter was much older than his contemporaries in rock (being born in 1939), and the fact that he had a much more pragmatic and mature POV about the rock n roll life, knowing it probably wouldn’t last long makes this very bittersweet.
One of the greatest glitter rock bands of all time! Love Bowie one of the greatest songwriters and musical talents of all time BUT Mott The Hoople did a better rendition of All The Young Dudes! Ian Hunter and band knocked it out of the park!
Mick Ralphs on guitar. Went on to form Bad Company. Awesome song after 50 years. Damn. Ian Hunter nailed it on this one. Throw in Andy Mackay on Saxophone. Damn good stuff. Saw them in '73 twice. Enjoy.
@@garymeredith3610Glad 2 hear. I know that Mick Ronson died many yrs ago but I thought Mick Ralphs did also. Again; glad 2 hear that he's still alive (Mick Ralphs) albeit w/ongoing health issues.
I traveled to the London Hammersmith Odeon 13 years ago to see Mott the Hoople..they played 5 night s..I attended 2 nights...they were a bands band. The crowd includes Queen, Bowie, the Clash, sex pistols, so many others...absolutely positively anyone who was in London rock and roll was there...I flew from New jersey to be there
The opening to this track is equal to the great opening sequences to so many 50s classics like Summertime Blues, Great Balls of Fire, Something Else etc. Mott were cutting edge with classic rocker sensibilities. I fucking worship this band!!
Hanging-out at a friend's house upstairs late at night in Calgary, in the early `70's -drinking & 'partaking' with this (and many another tunes) blaring-out huge volumes from his tower speakers w/the window wide open ... Amazed we weren't approached or worse, busted!😵💫
This song opens the classic movie, Martin Scorsese's "Alice Does-- not Live Here Anymore." (Ellen Burstyn won Best Actress Academy Award for 1975.) The movie is powerful and poignant and quite entertaining, well worth watching even so many years later!
8 Track tapes had the BEST FUCKIN' SOUND QUALITY EVER!!!!! Un4tun8ly; the tapes had a faulty design that resulted in 2 many snags. Hence; their demise.
I remember buying this around 1976. I was 14 and my introduction to the band was a university radio station that took over when our local cable channel signed off for the day. The strange part of this,when I think about it now,is the fact that the station was from a neighboring province. At any rate,it was a great station because it introduced me to lots of bands I wasn't hearing on our radio stations. Good memories. All The Way From Memphis came bouncing out of this station one night and it's still great.
I was born 57 Been listening to this and Bowie since I was 14 So much better than most of today's rubbish Still listen to Thriller a lot too and Godspell
Great song, great band. I played this song in cover bands across several decades up until my dear friend/bass player/vocalist passed away a few years ago.
I was 18 when I first heard this song THE WHOLE WORLD liad ahead of me, THIS Month I turn 68 and 2 things never let me down,,ROCK and ROLL and Jesus...lol Yes I Belive IN BOTH hahaha
Five songs have helped chart the course of my life: seeing The Beatles on "The Ed Sullivan Show" singing "I Want To Hold You Hand", seeing Roy Wood's Wizzard on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" singing "Angel Fingers", hearing Prism's "Take To To The Kaptin" for the first time on the radio, hearing Ray Boltz' "I Will Praise The Lord" on the radio for the first time and hearing this on an eight track player playing in the back of the bus drifting up to the front of the bus that carried the Fairmont Senior High School Polar Bear basketball team in on a snowy winter's night in 1973...
I'm impressed with the whole angel fingers thing you know some obscure shit or maybe it's just that I'm from the US haha Maybe you are too I don't know But I love rockin roy
I'm not going to be able to get to sleep tonight. This masterful , joyful number will be spiraling through my mind. Jeez what a fun song. Tight ,crisp sax's.
I'm hugely embarrassed to even say this.... I heard the cover by Contraband back in high school when it was released. I knew it was a cover. Took me until today 8/13/2023 to finally get to hear the original. As a man of music, working in the industry since I was 17. 49 for a few more months. I am so ashamed for missing this gem!
I'm 64 yrs old. I was 14 in 1974 and swept the floor in a Sub Shop in Boston. Got a quarter for it. You could play 3 songs on the Juke Box for a quarter. I would play this song and All the Young Dudes {same record} can't remember the 3rd song always something different but always these two !!!
Went to the city planning on seeing moody blues but they were sold out. So we walked down to radio city music hall and saw mott the hoople. Idk what was more fun. Waiting outside or the show itself. NY Dolls were there in the audience too. And Ian constantly giving dibs to Aerial Bender❤
How lucky were we that bands like this were around all the time, and for dirt cheap (still have the stubs from ZZ Top touring with Fandango, $6 at an art deco music ballroom; $10 for the Who). We could sometimes see 3 concerts a week from some outstanding bands. Saw Mott twice in CT of all places, at a rinky dink music hall and a rock club. Spark up, pass the Boone's Farm with the mescaline in it... Boy, were we lucky to have been young when the best music ever was everywhere. Cellar clubs, outdoor venues all summer, ballparks, auditoriums... Chicago played my gf's graduation dance at a high school in town, for God's sake. J Geils played at a friend's birthday party. So lucky. And today? Taylor Swift. Big deal. And 500 dollars for a so so seat, if you're "lucky" to get one. Bag checked, metal detectors, no smoking no vaping no drinking no nothing. Yup. Lucky. Very lucky.😊
Happy Birthday Ian Hunter born on June 3, 1939. He is an English singer-songwriter and musician who is best known as the lead singer of the English rock band Mott the Hoople. Hunter was a musician and songwriter before joining Mott the Hoople, and continued in this vein after he left the band. He embarked on a solo career despite ill health and disillusionment with commercial success. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Hunter_(singer)
I saw them at the Beacon theater and that same band Queen warmed up for them.An amazing first concert.....loved them both but Queen won me over that night.
Special thanks to the gigachad who request this on the WDVE electric lunch today. Now I can experience more great music. Love from Pittsburgh to this Band.
Forgot my six-string razor - hit the sky Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised Well I rang the information - my axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oreoles Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails 'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail All the way from Memphis Well I got to Oreoles y'know - it took a month And there was my guitar, electric junk. Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers, you're all the same. Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed. Now its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl 'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes All the way from Memphis Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold 'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole! All the way from Memphis
much love for Mott The Hoople......"all the young dudes" did reach #37 on the singles chart. so they did have 1 minor hit. Bowie saved the band from bankruptcy.... the band could only headline small venues and are basically a critics choice
Andy MacKay, honorary member? Classic stuff here, for those of us who remember when it was released 'back in the day,'...Saw them in Cleveland (?!) way back, - Great memories indeed, and as fine an outfit of the era as you'll find, methinks...
Saw them here in Philly back in '73......some band called Queen opened for them.....
That's why Dr. Bri both covered it on his Another World album, AND made an unbilled appearance with Ian during a Nov. 2019 concert.
Anything happen for this. Queen
@@andrewyoung2796 THEY HAD A FEW HITS.....LOLOL.....LP'S WENT DOUBLE PLATINUM...ETC....
And it was GOOD!
Queen? Sounds vaguely familiar.
"you look like a star, but your really out on parole" one of the greatest lines in rock.
agreed!
out on the DOLE ?
either way BURN one and enjoy lol
Some "spade" said etc ... racist term

71 and still here !!!

Still have mine. I'm 67 now and still rock'in like a big dog! ☮
One of the greatest songs from one the greatest album's from the 70's. Mott, is an essential masterpiece for anybody's collection.
I concur.
Me too. After this song I think I'll go listen to the song "Roll away the stone" next. ( By Mott the hoople), of course.
In Hunter always had the cool shades on
Agreed nine ways to Sunday
If you like racist slurs,"some spade said rock n rollers"?.. thoughts on rhat?
I was 14 when this song came out. 50 yrs later, it still rocks. Just goes to show, that you cant keep a great song down!
True!
I was 12 when I got this album😀
15 this is one of the best things ever came out of the 70s but way underated

A freaking amazing when his friend turned up with 🎸 !
wish I could have been there
Cool!
Way cool,, I'd love to be able to play 🎹
Great sax by Andy Mackay ❤️
Dig it
Off of Roxy Music ?
Mr Bowie was right on with this group.RIP David!
A fantastic song, from a great group in ' the golden age of rock 'n roll. Literally.
Saw these guys in 72 at Carnegie Hall...GREAT show
Great sound. Pretty underrated band too.
Mott's Pete Overend Watts was the "Glamest" bassist of the glam rock era!!
Trevor Bolder was in the running too, I think.
@@rbrookswilliams1689 Slade bass player, too.
@@tomCA559 Yes definitely. Jim Lea.......Also wrote most of Slade's music, too.

One of the greatest Rock and Roll songs, EVER! Rockin'!
"And you look like a star but you're still on the dole..." 👏🤘
When I found this album at thirteen.. It changed my life.
Every song on it is great imo.
13....ah, remember it well..exactly what I was doing when I first heard this song 😅
One of the best songs of the seventies. When I hear it I feel like dancing even before I begin to dance!
Hope , I found your comment very amusing. Do you dance nowadays? Larry
@@larryleitch3803 Dancing in the mind is the first step to dancing on the floor! :-)
I heard this on the radio the other day and wanted to listen to it again. It's been a long time since I've heard it.
very under rated! i agree.
@@tonycantrell9860 One of the best live bands ever.
I know, this is definitely one of my favorite songs! Both 98.5 WNCX in Cleveland and my great taste in music brought me here.
Hanging-out at a friend's house upstairs late at night in Calgary, in the early `70's -drinking & 'partaking' with this (and many another tunes) blaring-out huge volumes from his tower speakers w/the window wide open ... Amazed we weren't approached or worse, busted!😵💫
Your neighbors had great taste in music.
Still listening in 2024.
I have all their albums on vinyl I really have to buy them on CD. A brilliant band and so underrated!
Do you have "Two Miles From Heaven"? I have it! Great music! :-)
This song opens the classic movie, Martin
Scorsese's "Alice Does--
not Live Here Anymore."
(Ellen Burstyn won Best
Actress Academy Award
for 1975.) The movie is
powerful and poignant
and quite entertaining,
well worth watching
even so many years
later!
and Chapter 1: Bess Gets Married in Breaking The Waves (1996).
You're right. Burstyn is a fantastic actress. Film also includes Bolan's Jeepster, to great effect.
Best use of music in a movie ever, Dogme rules and all.
That was an " after school movie" intended for a teen audience.
Never really realized how good that sax is.
Sax player from Roxy Music -- Andy McKay. Still plays today at 77.
@@lastrada52That's right; he's quite prominent on "Love Is The Drug" (by Roxy Music).

50 odd years later, & having seen Mott in Concert, still love Ian Hunter’s delivery,

Saw them on Broadway when they opened for Mott the Hoople! What a show!
This is the single version but the interplay between sax and Ralphs and the final guitar explosion on the album version is a master piece.
no, this is the album version with the full intro and outro
@@tomCA559 You are right.
I first had this on 8 track. Still love Mott to this day!

Ian Hunter is a fookin rock icon.
Legendary my pop showed me him before he passed away last month I’m very lucky to have had him in my life to show me the best music !🙌🏼

2024. Still quality.
I saw them at the Beacon theater and that same band Queen warmed up for them.An amazing first concert.....loved them both but Queen won me over that night.
Got to London in '72 and was blown away by the music.....
First album I purchased! Someone stole it from me. Perhaps, they couldn’t afford to buy it on own. Blessings to them! Great tunes!
Saw them in St. Louis ,Queen opened for them, seems like a lifetime ago.......
When music made your toes tap.🎸😎✌️☮️😊
The best album by them...
Two Miles From Heaven is very good too! 🙂
First time hearing the album version of this song. Awesome! Much, much better than the edited singles version.

Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail
All the way from Memphis
Well I got to Oreoles y'know - it took a month
And there was my guitar, electric junk.
Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers, you're all the same.
Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed.
Now its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole
All the way from Memphis
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes
All the way from Memphis
Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold
'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old

Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole!
