3 out of 5 stars Key disc of live early Mott tracks.......2002-08-02

Disc 1: 5 stars. Disc 2: 1 star. What can I say? There are two different albums here. The first disc is a short set of songs from a concert in Stockholm. The second disc was recorded in Philadelphia. Disc 2 suffers from sound problems. This 2-record set contains a booklet with many intriguing comments from Mott bassist Overend Watts; it nicely supplements the more standard-issue historical booklet found in the 2-CD box, "The Ballad of Mott: A Retrospective," an excellent introduction to this underappreciated British band. I found "All the Way..." musically valuable for its first disc. It's got two searing numbers, "Thunderbuck Ram" and the Mountain cover "Long Red," which you'll love if, like me, you're into the heavier Mott material. The other songs are fine too, but the disc is also fascinating for Ian Hunter's between-song patter, where he is clearly chagrined at being unable to get any enthusiastic crowd response from the small Swedish audience. Hunter's sardonic comments recall what Watts says in the booklet about Hunter having had a much more difficult childhood than the other Mott members, who seem to have been much more securely middle-class in their upbringing. The booklet goes a long way toward explaining Mott's early appeal and comparing them with the then-current scene, namely Oasis. So, I'd say this album is a good supplement to your Mott collection if, like me, your interest was first whetted by Columbia-era Mott albums like "All the Young Dudes" or "Mott" or by one of the Columbia compilations, like "Ballad" mentioned above, and you'd like to have more biographical, historical, and musical information about their early years. Disc 2 of "All the Way..." is quite forgettable; mid-period Mott is represented better on Mott the Hoople's "Live" album on Columbia--the record released in 1974 or thereabouts that shows three of the members in 3/4 profile on the cover.

2 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC ADDITION TO THE MOTT LEGACY.......2000-03-24

For those Mott the Hoople fans that could make the transition between their earlier Dylanesque albums and the post "Brain Capers" glam period, this CD is a terrific bridge, linking together the legendary "Long Red" bootleg with a newly ressurected set from their first American tour after their Bowie conversion. The "Long Red" CD is the old Mott from '71 in their pre "Brain Capers" prime with a short but potent set of their then live standards, including Ralphs' haunting 'Thunderbuck Ram' from "Mad Shadows."

The 'new' recording is from late '72 featuring the whole band with Verden Allen and Mick Ralphs, turning out a super set focused around the "All the Young Dudes" album. True, they don't yet have the confidence in their new roles as glam rockers (this was taped before "Young Dudes" and Mott hit big), but it is still a mighty fine romp through a whole bunch of (carefully performed) classics, including an extended 13 minute version of Ralphs' 'Ready For Love.' Having left behind their earlier emotional material, but not quite into the rave-ups yet, this tenuous period didn't last long for Mott and Verden Allen was gone within months of its recording, making it a welcome rariety to add to their catalog.

Now why can't they dig up some of the '73 and '74 live stuff to replace the dismal "Mott the Hoople Live" recording? The fabulous "Rest In Peace" bootleg is certainly as good in fidelity as anything on "All the way from Stockholm."

1 out of 5 stars What a Disappointment.......2000-03-10

I have owned Ian Hunter's "Welcome to the Club" for many years and it is one of my favorite live albums. I recently discovered that a large portion of those songs are actually old Mott the Hoople songs, so I figured I'd try the real thing. Being a big 70's hard rock fan as well, I had high hopes for this collection. I could barely listen to it and I will be selling it back to the used CD store soon. Not only is the sound quality HORRIBLE, the band itself seems sloppy and untalented. It's no wonder you hear a band member at one point chiding the crowd for being lifeless, not to mention the crowd sounds like it's about 10 people.

4 out of 5 stars Terrific live disc captures the band in their prime.......1999-11-22

After Bowie gave them a shot in the arm by producing them (and, ironically enough, also helped facilitate the band's break up by encouraging Ian Hunter to take an active role as leader of the band), Mott showed new vigor in concert. This documents the band playing with the original line up just after All the Young Dudes was released. The first part of the first disc suffers from some sonic problems, but after that the sound is very good for a tape as old as this.

All the Way..puts the Live album the band released in 1974 to shame! While Morgan Fisher and Ariel Bender were both terrific musicians, there was a chemistry missing from the band when Ralphs left. Along with the BBC CD this is highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Great addition for any Mott the Hoople fan!.......1999-04-25

This CD suffers from some sound problems, but it is well worth the money anyway. Disc 2 is basically a live version of the "All the Young Dudes" album, complete with a pathetic David Bowie accompaniment on "Dudes"(Bowie's voice is wimpy next to Ian Hunter's). The 13 minute "Ready for Love/Afterlights" is a Mick Ralphs tour de force!
