The show at the Symphony Hall was the first of five dates that end on the 18th at the O2 Arena in London which is the biggest show the band have ever played in the UK. Other dates are Glasgow 13th, Newcastle 16th, Manchester 17th.

"Arrived in Birmingham and went to the Symphony Hall which reminds me of the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. The first person I saw was Joe Elliott who is in “HEAVEN“ because his heroes are playing. And he is also happily lubricated. I send him in to organise a group shot before Mott go on."

"And that my friends is about it for this week. I shall be back with you next Saturday where I shall be coming to you just before Mott The Hoople go onstage in Newcastle City Hall. Yes, next week is the Mott week and I shall be at every gig so if you're gonna be there I might see you in the bar. So until next week I'm gonna leave you with this classic from one of the biggest bands in the universe. From the album With The Beatles this is The Beatles and It Won't Be Long. And it won't be long till next week. Until then see ya!."
