Ian Hunter performs "19th Nervous Breakdown" at The Rolling Stones Hot Rocks Tribute. Carnegie Hall NYC March 13, 2012.
Never heard about the rehearsal show or I would have crashed it.
On the night of the Hot Rocks show I passed M.C. and his lady friend walking towards the stage entrance on the street when parking my car; the entire Rant Band backed Ian on "19th Nervous Breakdown." I don't think it is my imagination but Ian got a respectable applause and recognition factor when he was introduced. Ian and the band were in fine form especially as one of the few to provide an entire band for a Stones song. The picture on the Rolling Stone magazine web site is what Ian wore that night.
"With the Rant Band, Mr. Hunter’s take on “19th Nervous Breakdown” laid bare some rockabilly twang."

And, another review was posted.
Andy Burton is on backing vocals, Steve Holley plays the drums, also, former Rant bassist Tony Shannahan is up there. 'Jack The Mechanic' Petruzzelli (2001 Rant Band guitarist) was present as well as Christine Oldham who sang back up on the last two Hunter releases.

It does look like an autograph hound caught Ian and M.C. leaving the stage door of Carnegie Hall.
