Mott the Hoople: The reunion and the Mottober blog

In early August we told you that legendary British rockers Mott the Hoople were set for a reunion in London, marking the first time the band’s original lineup played together in decades.
Well, the shows are getting under way, and so far so good. And, boy, do I envy all you Brits out there who are making it out to these shows.
Fortunately for us, one of our readers back then informed us that he would be attending the shows at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo and blogging on the whole experience.
The Mottober blog is part travelog, part music review, and all rock fan. So check it out.
Mott consisted of frontman Ian Hunter, guitarist Mick Ralphs, bassist Overend Watts, keyboard player Verden Allen and drummer Dale Griffin — all of them on board for the reunion shows.
For you other Mott fans out there, keep hoping they decide to reunite for some shows here in the U.S. The band may never have gotten the wide acclaim they deserved beyond “All the Young Dudes,” but keep in mind that they helped launch at least two other musical acts—Bad Company and Hunter as a solo artist.
Either way, check out John’s Mottober blog and enjoy.
