"Do you remember" Gigs you went to ? Of course you do !
The recent passing of guitarist Mick Ralphs caused this track to pop into my head. As a founding member of Mott the Hoople, Ralphs left in 1973 to form Bad Company. So wasn't playing on today's track, but as the lyrics reveal he was very much apart of those earlier 'Saturdays Gigs'.
- Mott the Hoople played a reunion of five nights at Hammersmith Odeon back in 2009. We were there to see Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs and other original band members. Nice article worth a read (here).
- And I just read about a 'Mottfest' scheduled for this October in Ross-on-Wye. See story.
- Finally, you've probably heard 'Live Aid' was 40 years ago this month and the BBC have some programmes lined up 'When Rock 'n' Roll Took on the World', starting this Sunday and I believe the entire Wembley show is getting a repeat performance on 13th July.
