Finale Performance - 'All the Young Dudes' | 2019 Induction

Finale performance of Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes" at the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

Mott the Hoople needs to be in the Hall of Fame. Ian just turned 82 ffs-- he has done SO much in music history since the late 60's. Come on, two from the original band have left us-- induct them! NOW!

Bowie gave the song a form. Hunter and Mott the Hoople gave it substance. What a one-in-a-million match.

I've had this song in my life for fifty years. As an eleven year old, I lived right out in the sticks. I had a tiny black transistor radio for company and I remember being out walking through a field of yellow blossoming corn, or rapeseed, I'm not sure..As I laid back on that burning hot day amid the flowers, this song came on....Life changer for me...Every single time I hear it, I get a little moist in the corner of my eyes. They don't wrtite them like that anymore, ..do they..

[terifarris]

Anyone else get chills listening to this song?

[gregbubloski]

Ian Hunter is still one of the greatest of all time in Rock n Roll.

[DC-ihbv]

One of the greatest pop choruses ever written. God bless Bowie. Great performance !!!

[markjeffery]

Special thanks to Joe Elliot for all he had done for his Heroes Mick Ronson Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople. And to share Def Leppard’s big night of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Ian Hunter & Brian May to play Mine and Joe’s Favorite Song of All Time
Absolutely Amazing
Thanks Again Joe

[jonndepentu]

thank you ian hunter for all the years of happiness brought you will make generations to come happy

[fauxbro]

Bowie's arrangement and production on Mott's studio version of Dudes is pure genius. His anthem to the coming out movement of the early 70's is spot

Ian Hunter rocks. Saw him in 81 at University of Western Ontario with Mick Ronson. Awesome show awesome night. Saw him again at Rock and Roll Heaven in Toronto. Ian doesn’t need the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. He’s a Hall of Famer in his own right

[charliem]

It breaks my heart to see these rock gods aging! Love you all, love this song!💜💜💜

[georgiehollander]

Ian Hunter sung this at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert Ronson was on lead, but sadly passed the following year, Bowie was on my heroes slowly leaving us now

"All the old dudes, playin this tu une, all the old dudes, playing this tune" 😂 love this, Ian Hunter sounds fantastic for his years, the great Brian May and the Def Leopard gang and all the backup singers, wonderful job all👍🏼✌🏼️

[michaelcurtis]

I was a Dude then in my 20's, and it still stands today in my late 60's. Keep on Rockin'!

[euanelliott]

Long Live Ian Hunter.
God rest Mick Ronson.

[mattjames]

You know you're badass when the lead singer for The Zombies is your backup.

[colinreeves]

been a mott fan for 47 years now ive even got all the young dudes on my ringtone not bad for a 63 year old hahaha.

[GRMS]

Followed Ian all my adult life. Seen him 100+ times live. Song writing genius. Living legend. Met Joe through these travels - what an absolute gem of a bloke and hugely talented in his own right. So admire his love for his pal Ian.

Ian Hunter. One of my rock n roll heros. Mott. One of the greatest bands ever.
