Ian's first self titled album is one of my all time favorites. I got to see them years later at the Palladium in NYC around 81 and Ian with MIck just crushed it. Such a great show. My buddy plays keys with Ian now, and Ian still rocks. Also caught the last Mott tour at the Beacon. RIP Mick Ronson you were and are a ROCK GOD.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how it is done! Musicians playing instruments and singing. None of this pre-recorded backing track auto-tuned 💩we get served up today - REAL MUSIC!
This is a great performance. Two legends and of my all time favorites. Both deserve more recognition in the RR business. Ian Hunter is a true rock and roll artist. Mick Ronson did tons of huge guitar work. RIP Mick Ronson and David Bowie.
Saw Hunter and Mick Ronson in a small theater in '87 - stood right in front of the stage staring up at Ronson. He played music beyond wielding his legendary axe. An incredibly gifted and nuanced player. Most people will never understand that he not only played but scored many of Bowie's most iconic tracks. RIP one of the greatest in rock history.
I love our Elvis ending..ya see, Ian's guitar amp went off then the mic stand started collapsing, so it hit the floor and thats why Ian comes back to me with that Elvis shoulder wiggle! So funny and what trouper-everything breaking on him but that's ain't gonna stop him!
Garage bar band rock in the most complimentary of senses...this period is the essence of what glam punk post punk new wave and even glam metal was looking to encapsulate
I saw this lineup at the Roxy in LA, one of the best shows I've ever experienced. I was just a kid, my older brother took me, "You're never alone with a schizophrenic " had just been released.
Just a killer song, all versions, live, studio (not Great White though, they murdered it) Love ...love...love Ronno, one of the worlds most underrated guitarists.
and great white should just be known as one thing. murderers. they killed a bunch of people at a club and then nearly 20 years later, they played to a bunch of people at an outdoor festival during a pandemic. murderers.
For me and this quite controversial as I'm a big Bowie fan and I honestly think if it wasn't for Ronno I don't think Bowie would've have had the massive world wide fame he did because his earlier albums didn't really sell that well
Those early didn't sell well mainly due to the lack of promotion and lack of air play . Mick Ronson played on 2 of those pre- Ziggy albums that had poor sales ; namely , The Man Who Sold The World and Hunky Dory . Only when the Ziggy album became a massive hit did those albums sell - mainly on the back of Ziggy , but also due to RCA pushing the boat out to promote them , and more crucially , promoting Bowie as a major artist .
Haven’t been able to see this in Years. Love it. Actually watched it that night on Friday’s. Ian & Ronson in Top Form. Saw them 3 times during this time. Great Concerts. Opening for the Kinks. Headlining with opener David Johansson and opening for Heart. Thank You for Posting
A Philly guy? Great opener at the Spectrum with Heart. Think it was 1980? Enjoyed them like you at the the Tower with DJ. You in your 60's too? Also saw Ian at some small joint in Chadds Ford on a snowy night. And at the Playpen in Wildwood in 81. Great times indeed!
@@joeb5973 My Brother introduced me to Mott by having the Mott album laying around and I played it to death. Lost track of them then Schizophrenic came out and absolutely blew me away. Then got the Ronson Bowie Mott Ian connection and Backtracked and was hooked ever since . Me & 3 friends were front & center at Chadds Ford with Steve Jones as the Opener. Ian signed my Diary of a Rock & Roll Star. Loved that YUI Orta Tour. PS my brother saw Mott open 4 Bowie at the Tower Theatre. I’m South Jersey but Philly-centric
@@joeb5973 Think I saw them in Chadds Ford the Opener was Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. Really enjoyed his Set. Think it was the Chestnut Cabernet 1989 ???
@@fifthof1795 I'm the drummer. Also Mick and Suzi lived up here in Woodstock, so every trip out of the country or just down to Ian Hunter's place in Katonah, N.Y. we'd often drive together. To recordings/rehearsals at Wizard sound/Katonah or down to NYC. We got along well because we were both excited and facsinated by the little things in life as well as the bigger than life stuff. Great sense of humour! Always finding something to laugh about, especially when things got tough. One of a kind human being and zero ego. None.
Being an 80s kid for the longest time I always thought this was Great White’s song. Then I got older. And wiser. Like everything else, the original is always the best.
There are a few times where the cover is better, this is one of them. I am a 80s kid as well and i love great white's version. Other examples of covers being better: Joan Jett - I love rock and roll, Johnny Cash - Hurt, CCR - Midnight special
@@ninsnumber1fan There's something I love about the more organic, uncompressed, loose, and laid back feel of this that makes me love it so much more than the polished and pressed version by Great White.
@@joe6096 Fair enough. I am quite sure it's the nostalgia factor for me that makes me still like great whites version better. But great whites version definitely sounds more produced for lack of better term
One of them great bands that deserved better.. but for us lucky fans they were great..Ian always a great front man,mick so cool,rest of band just can bring it
This song, on the radio, made a good catholic classically trained music girl realise that she had a down and dirty rock ‘n’ roll soul......never looked back 😎
Met both of them Michael and Ian in a record store signing their album back in the 80s in Pennsylvania the night of their show at the spectrum…when times were good.😁
It was bowies girlfriend at the time...whome talked him into giving Mick a second audition at their flat..where they hit it off..bowie & Mick played off each other's talents ..and produced a few great songs...
I'm so glad that the mix featured Ian's and Mick's guitars and turned all the others down.
Mick Ronson was an excellent guitarist. He left us way too soon.
There were 70s guitarists, then there was RONNO. Truely a legend, never, ever forgotten. RIP Mick
I concur mate!
One of The Greatest of All Time!!! Mick!!!
Epic I've loved this song since I was 13 I'm 59 now ...
@Kurt Max? And he played on into the 90's! Check out what he did with the Wildhearts....
Mick Ronson was indeed a guitar god. Among the best tone out of that Les Paul I've ever heard. Iconic and immediately recognizable.
Mick Ronson sounds amazing here.
he never sounded anything else
RIP a real one.
lead guitar? Perfect
He was a beast on guitar, and from what i've gathered a really nice bloke too RIP.
Mott the Hoople, Spiders from Mars, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson... All the Young Dudes. God I love drugs.
Now you talkin'

The best underrated duo in the Biz. Ronsons tone still sought after! One THE top Guitarists ever!

LOVE MICK AND IAN ! The way that song builds and kicks into overdrive blows me away !
Mick Ronson.....clean licks.....so good....and Ian....timeless
They don’t make em like this anymore! n
Never will, what great times we Had!
Mick and Ian made a great pair 🎉
This is a great performance. Two legends and of my all time favorites. Both deserve more recognition in the RR business. Ian Hunter is a true rock and roll artist. Mick Ronson did tons of huge guitar work. RIP Mick Ronson and David Bowie.
I've watched this at least a dozen times this week. Just a killer performance of a classic song!

Yes indeed!
Well, this group of old school rockers pretty much summed up what rock and roll is yes? Thanks for posting this gem!
Never heard the original till now. This song rocks!
Ian Hunter gets your heart pumping with his persona on stage.....great showman.....

Noticed that! Ian still held up his end though, great "dismount".
Such a great performance... it definitely went to "11"
@@lizkrinsky5209 We had a lot of fun there that night! Thanks ! Rock on!!
The consummate showman!
@@johngerson7335 I love his 'light a match and toss it move" like; everything going! Its a fire sale! haha!!
100% pure rock`n`roll. Ronno delivers as only he could. Let the party begin.
One of the great unrecognized guitarists in history!!.
I saw Ian for the first time a few years ago. Still rocking and did a great show wow.
That's a true legend right there, never got the props he deserved, especially from Bowie.... played with everybody who was somebody, Mick Ronson.
I admire how they keep building the song with each section.
loved this guy....he was great in Mott the Hoople...
Aside from the music, did anyone notice what a great looking guy mick ronson was. Looked like he never aged...rest in musical peace mick. 💚💙💜
Yeah Mick was a good looking dude with lots of stage presence, even towards the end he hid it well.
A REAL rock and roll band. GREAT!!!!!!
Mick is doing that sunburst justice, saw Ian on Long island 5 years ago and he sounded amazing.
Great stuff. That just made my day!
Talk about your underrated guitarists ! Mick just jammed. So many greats came out of the 70s. He was one of them. RIP my friend

Best band ever. Love Y'all. Turning 60 going on 18 again. Ian is a true wordsmith.
Awesome on so many levels!!!
Ian is the star I totally get it but Ronson owns the stage you can't take your eyes off him.
The whole band just kicks ass. Rock n roll forever!!
Just a killer song, all versions, live, studio (not Great White though, they murdered it)
Love ...love...love Ronno, one of the worlds most underrated guitarists.
A few bands have murdered that song, nothing gets close to the original.
and great white should just be known as one thing. murderers. they killed a bunch of people at a club and then nearly 20 years later, they played to a bunch of people at an outdoor festival during a pandemic. murderers.
@@thevoid99 I lived down the street from that club The Station. Coming home from work I'd get that daily reminder. Great White are nothing but POS.
Status Quo did a great job with their cover of that song.I like the original too.
And it's the only version I ever hear on the radio, don't understand it.
Phenomenal rendition of this great number… Ronno totally nailing it as per!
What a great version! Can't believe
I never saw that one before. Thanks!
IM 67 AND LONG LIVE MOTT g
Was lucky enough to see Ian with Mick at a smaller sized venue right around this time, they flat out rocked.
Brilliant! Ian is absolutely first class. Cheers.

MICK RONSON !!!!
Pure gold! So good.
Epic live version, thanks for uploading! I have the vinyl 45 somewhere.
Awesome to see this again ! 👏
Miss those days.

Link Wray! That would have been an amazing show to see! Lucky you!
@@El_Jackalope it was amazing, glorious misspent youth!🍻🇺🇸🍸
Welcome to the club!
The greatest song written by IH, his first solo album told us Ian was the real deal and here to stay…
Mick Ronson, gone far too damn soon. that is a high energy band my friends...
Yes!! MIck is missed everyday.We were ALL Young Dudes back then! I think Ian was the only one over 30 !! I was 23 in this vid.
Thanks for participating, Eric! This is one of my favorite bands ever!

Hell yeah I like this video! Ah, those days are gone.
Ronson on Ziggy Stardust was about as good as it gets
Fab!
Great performance. Ronson is high on my list of favorites. The other guitarist looks like Earl Slick -- is it him?
No
E Street band members me thinks
Tommy Morrongiello
Ian hunter had a kick ass drummer
ahh yes the Golden Age of Simulcasts...'78-'83!!😎🥸😎🥸😎🥸🍀

Martin Briley also playing on this (Salt in my Tears)
I thought that was him, nice 👁️
Saw him with that guitar at TOADS Place New Haven on this tour.
Man, that club hosted a ton of top and midrange acts over the years. Stones played a practice set there prior to a US tour.
