For those not in the know, spread across two discs, Ian Hunter delivers a career-spanning set that blends his Mott the Hoople classics, solo hits, and deep cuts into a night of raw energy, heartfelt storytelling, and rock ’n’ roll swagger.

Disc 1 brings the intimacy and bite of Hunter’s songwriting to the fore, with standout performances of Rest In Peace, Once Bitten Twice Shy, and the reflective Irene Wilde.

Disc 2 turns up the volume and the nostalgia, featuring timeless anthems Roll Away the Stone, Saturday Gigs, and the immortal All The Young Dudes. The set closes in grand style with All The Way From Memphis, featuring unforgettable guest appearances by Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) and Brian May (Queen).

This release isn’t just a live album - it’s a celebration of one of rock’s greatest storytellers, delivered with grit, grace, and good humor. A must-have for long-time fans and the perfect introduction for new listeners.

This brilliant live recording opens on the laconic Rest In Peace and the full on guitar fest that drives Rock ’n’ Roll Queen, then we get the gradual layering of instruments and backup vocals, the drum riff leading into the bridge, the scorching guitar solo and the climactic pizazz of the iconic Once Bitten Twice Shy and the grounded rocker Twisted Steel and they are backed smoothly by the beautiful I Wish I Was Your Mother, the emotive Knees Of My Heart, the rhythmic rocker 23a Swan Hill, and then we get the languishing ballad Irene Wilde, the guitar rocker The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nuthin’ But The Truth and the gritty rock of Rollerball.

Disc 2:
1. A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square 2. Roll Away The Stone 3. Saturday Gigs 4. All The Young Dudes 5. The Journey 6. Dead Man Walking 7. Just Another Night 8. Cleveland Rocks 9. Michael Picasso 10. Standing In My Light 11. All The Way From Memphis

Along next is the sensitively sung A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square, the great pop song Roll Away The Stone, a great transition from the throaty singalong of Saturday Gigs and the propulsive All The Young Dudes, and then we are gifted the impassioned The Journey, the gripping, complete with memorable guitar solo Dead Man Walking, the piano-driven rock of Just Another Night, the live set rounding out on the renowned pop rocker Cleveland Rocks, the emotive treasure Michael Picasso, the hugely affective Standing In My Light, coming to a close on the pure rock and roll joy of All The Way From Memphis.

With:
