IAN HUNTER [ Dr Pepper, NYC '81 ] Complete broadcast

IAN HUNTER [ Dr Pepper, NYC '81 ] Complete broadcast
I own nothing in this video, it is posted for fan comment only by a big fan for big fans . I had parts of it already posted and decided the concert is more enjoyable in it's full form .I see a few PIRATES have this show for sale on the Internet, one guy has it up there with the photo from Mott The Hoople Live as it's cover photo and is calling it a MTH gig. How low can you go ? My account is NOT set up for monetization, I don't make a dime on this nor want one ! Perhaps being able to watch this here will stop a few fans from buying the illegal boots off the net . If Ian or his management would like it taken down let me know . I bought everything Ian's ever recorded so enjoy this concert and BUY Ian's music and go see his show . He has a new album completed called " When I'm President " which Ian says will be released " asap ". Buy it, you won't be disappointed, I never am . This video "was" for many years the only commercially available one of Ian's (although there are a few! boots doing the rounds). After recording the Short Back 'n' Sides album, Mick Ronson decided he was sick of touring, so Ian toured instead with Robbie Alter on guitar (tho' Mick would eventually deputize for Tommy Mandel on keyboards when he became ill). This concert was recorded in 1981 at the Dr Pepper Festival at Pier 84, New York City. It was originally recorded for MTV (before they went on air!), and I believe was released commercially in 1983, and was issued on laserdisc (in Japan only?) in 1989 ...
