This article presents a comprehensive list of all live recordings by Mott The Hoople, Ian Hunter, British Lions and MOTT that have been released commercially. Where only part of a show has been released I list the tracks involved, otherwise the whole show can be assumed to have been released. Where the recording date is known this is listed. All shows are cross-referenced to a relevant release. Where a show is split across releases, relevant releases covering all affected tracks are given.
The intention is to prevent the sharing of commercially-available material. Reputable sites such as Dime and Trader's Den have a prohibition on the sharing of commercially-available material. This isn't just the obvious 'rip the CD to the hard drive and share it', it extends to 'I taped a show off the radio, has it been released anywhere?' Therefore it seems sensible to make this information as easy to find as possible.
I should add that this site does not carry any such copyrighted material (not even in 30-second 'sample' form), nor do I provide links to any such material.
This page, therefore, is as comprehensive a list as possible of all such recordings by Mott The Hoople, Ian Hunter, British Lions and MOTT.
