<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the Hunter\/Ronson shows at the London Dominion theatre was recorded by the BBC and later released as a BBC Live in Concert CD.<\/p>\n
It’s actually pretty great. In many ways I like it better than Welcome to the Club; the focus is very much on Hunter\/Ronson material with just one song from Mott days, All the Way from Memphis. The YUI Orta tracks are highlights, including The Loner, How Much More Can I Take, a blistering Beg a Little Love, Big Time and a performance of Following in Your Footsteps, introduced by Hunter as "the inevitably of the genes, the old father\/son syndrome".<\/p>\n
(Give me Back my) Wings is a new song that should really have been on YUI Orta; Campbell Devine lists in the studio as "unfinished". It contains the intriguing thought "First it was the mothers, then it was the wives; I think that God’s a woman, I know she runs my life."<\/p>\n
Of course there is stuff from Schizophrenic: Just another Night, Standin’ in my Light and Bastard, the latter two beautifully performed.<\/p>\n
If you like Mick Ronson’s guitar work you must hear this concert as it is powerful and forward in the mix.<\/p>\n
Also included is Sweet Dreamer, Ronson’s instrumental version of a Patsy Cline song (Sweet Dreams). I love hearing this partly because it speaks of Ronson’s character, even if it doesn’t excactly fit with the "rockers and ballads" flavour which forms most of the show.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/h3>\n
The CD is out of print but not that hard to find, or there are the usual streaming sources. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
