"That was rock and roll, that was what Guy was trying to create and that was what was up on stage."Documentary charting the rise, fall and rise again of Mott The Hoople, a band formed in the imagination of pop guru Guy Stevens, which after an initial rush of fame, looked destined to also-ran status until they bumped into David Bowie and he offered them a song. From there the only way was up and splitting at their height.
The film uses the band to walk us through their career, with input from fan Mike Jones of the Clash, (whose London Calling was produced by Guy Stevens), Mick Rock and a smattering of others.
