From The Liverpool Docks To The Hollywood Bowl...



Decent audience recording of early Queen 
opening for Mott The Hoople 
Who would have thought back in '74 that in 2 years 
Queen would be one of the biggest bands in 
the world and Mott at the peak of 
their popularity here would be over.

    Thanks for the post, UFO Steve and our illustrious host, smoker. Thanks too for the commentary about the shifting nature of the two bands' fortunes captured in the moment. Destiny can be neither fought nor created. Cheers.

    Thanks for this but it's the wrong date & venue - Queen mention Portland & a comparison with the Mott performance is identical to the Portland gig .
