One nite in June 1979, out in Hollywood, we got wind that Steve Hackett Tickets we going on sale at the Roxy in the morning. We waited out all night and when the box office opened the told us "the shows were canceled" (he played oct-1980)
But if we wanted we could buy tickets for Ian Hunter that was not annouced yet! So that is where this tape came from. This may be for completists only, but it is a very High energy show, and the only recording I have heard of the band doing "Laugh At Me" a Sonny Bono song.

NOTES: Ian Hunter opening set for Jethro Tull. I have to be honest, I knew next to nothing about Ian Hunter before this show. I had heard the name Ian Hunter and Mott The Hoople, but that's it. Jethro Tull was the big draw for me. I found that I was familiar with a couple of Ian Hunter's tunes from the radio, and very much enjoyed the rest of the songs, including the stuff he said was from the "new album." I actually liked Ian Hunter more than Jethro Tull! At times people are yelling "Happy Birthday" to Ian Hunter (his birthday was the day before the show I later found out). Some minor crowd disturbance during one of the quieter passages in Sweet Jane, but not too bad.

What a night! I saw Ian at this pub a few years back and my what a change.
While that show was great THIS show was smokin'!!! His band is extremely tight and Ian's
voice was very strong. great mix of old & new ..in fact the Rant material now feels like
fan faves like the older stuff. ...and the crowd knew & loved the great new songs from
the new cd Shrunken Heads. I was positioned about 8 feet from the stage dead center.
Amazing stereo separation as the lead guitarist is heard strong on the left side, but barely audible on the
right...while the rest of the band & vocals are center. The CA's hit another homerun. check out the samples.

AS Always...Share and ENJOY!

BTW...track 10 is me crossing the street to my car...I left it on for the cool stereo effects of cars whizzing by.

Comments:

Nice show from Ian's 2001 tour in support of his excellent RANT album. I went to two shows on this tour and managed to miss the first 15-20 minutes of both shows. Luckily I knew of other tapers at each show and was able to get the missing tracks to add to my recordings of those nights.

This show also has filler added from FM radio of Ian playing acoustic versions of two songs on the Howard Stern show dated as "10/14/01". I think this filler was taped on cassette by Freddie G but I can't recall for sure. Quality of the FM cassette is not very good (sounds too fast & just lousy in general to my ears, especially when Howard sings!) but the sources for the Allentown show both sound fine.

Thanks to Bob T. for the first 5 tracks of this show & Freddie G. for making the artwork.
