Mick Ronson, RIP) and even stopped in my hometown of Flint, MI a few times, packing the Capital Theater each visit. I've seen him since and he's still smokin'. James Mastro from The Bongos plays with him these days.>
I'm with you on Ian Hunter Larry.  Saw him last year at the Roxy and he was just as great as when I saw him back on the You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic tour w/The Kinks. I still pull out & listen to All American Alien Boy.  Irene Wilde is just beautiful and Apathy 83, just seems to make a lot more sense these days.  Of course I was a huge fan of Mott The Hoople from the first time I heard All The Way From Memphis (which we used to cover) & my fav, Roll Away The Stone.
BTW:  I attended a few shows @ the Capital Theatre along w/the IMA.  They still exist?
Best,
