The main reason I would like to see them again (saw them on the fall tour) is that I dig the group of musicians in the band... as well as Bob. But The National is a cool band with a unique sound so hearing them in the Campfire Band was pretty cool.
That being said, I'm pretty psyched about Jorma with Moonalice too. A fun mid day set.
Not likely but seeing the Campfire Band on the Terrapin Porch sounds neat.
But yeah people seem pretty convinced that there will be no more announcements, maybe I should listen to the Frey interview to hear what everyone else seems to have heard.

I do think Bad Co. falls into the mainstream/mass produced rock category but I think I'd still be okay with this. Maybe an 'Origins of Bad Co.' that included some Free or Mott the Hoople.

Mott had some interesting stuff besides Bowie's gift of Dudes, but not a lot. Free had a lot of cred in England at the time "All Right Now" came along--which is a great song in its own right but not much to it.
Two bands of that time that make it to the "Greatest Hits" compilations but also had depth in the rest of the albums were War and The Guess Who.
And I was always partial to Steppenwolf but I'm afraid to listen to them now. Better to stick with the memory that they were something special.

I think Steppenwolf still sounds great.
One of my desires is to see Yarn cover The Pusher. It is a perfect song for them. Thematic and Blake's voice would sound great growling out "God-damn, God---damn, the Pusher"

Mott had some interesting stuff besides Bowie's gift of Dudes, but not a lot. Free had a lot of cred in England at the time "All Right Now" came along--which is a great song in its own right but not much to it.
Two bands of that time that make it to the "Greatest Hits" compilations but also had depth in the rest of the albums were War and The Guess Who.
And I was always partial to Steppenwolf but I'm afraid to listen to them now. Better to stick with the memory that they were something special.
Mott the Hoople were a rock band about being a rock band, a self-reflective, self-aware amalgam that drew on sloshed Faces-ish lad-rock, riff-heavy hard rock, British Invasion rock (the opening track on their debut album was an instrumental cover of "You Really Got Me"), first-generation rock & roll, and stood on the precipice of glam and punk. If they sounded calculated, that was part of the strategy: the producer of their early records, Guy Stevens, saw them as part Dylan, part Stones and shaped them in that mold, and when they were about to give up in frustration, David Bowie magnanimously offered to throw them a lifeline. After turning down "Suffragette City," they accepted his second submission, "All the Young Dudes," a made-to-order anthem for an audience that didn't want to be subjected to any more hand-me-down big-brother rock. They ticked all the right boxes, and all of this could have come off as too studied. They had more than a touch of schmaltz in them: they were the first rock band to book a block of shows on Broadway (opening act: Queen, who surely picked up a few tips on theatrical spectacle from the wings), entered to Holst's "Jupiter" from The Planets, and started things off with a slice of "American Pie" that segued into their own "The Golden Age of Rock 'n' Roll." Really? Amazingly, it worked.
They may have needed "All the Young Dudes" to plant their flag, but the album named after that song wasn't even their best. That was the next one, just called Mott, an album that with its opening track, the pounding, rollicking picaresque "All the Way From Memphis," showed that they didn't need Bowie's production or songs to keep the ball rolling. The album was filled with good material: "Hymn for the Dudes" (a touch of Procol Harum in that one), "Honaloochie Boogie" (one of the few acceptable '70s songs with "boogie" in the title), "Ballad of Mott the Hoople" (did I mention that they were self-reflective?), "I Wish I Was Your Mother" (lead singer Ian Hunter at his most Dylanesque). Sadly, after only one more album, The Hoople, with guitarist Ariel Bender replacing Mick Ralphs, Hunter left to start a solo career. The Hoople is, as its title implies, kind of a sequel, but a solid one, with "Roll Away the Stone"— they had to get around to calling a song that—"Crash Street Kids," and "Born Late '58 (written and sung by bassist Overend Watts, who just recently passed away). And that was very nearly that for Mott the Hoople, except for a song chronologically celebrating their own mythology, "(Do You Remember) the Saturday Gigs?," a touching sign-off, and an apt one, because Mott the Hoople wasn't only a great band, it was a great concept for a band. Seeing them in 1973 at a Felt Forum concert where the support act was the next band on this list (New York Dolls), you might well have felt jubilantly optimistic that rock and roll had a future.
What happens if I take both?

Someone did a cover fairly recently, too.
He wrote it. Steppenwolf recorded it before he did (they recorded in 1968, Axton not until 1971). Really popularized by being included in Easy Rider (soundtrack as well).
Not sure I've heard a recent cover. Blind Melon covered it in 1996, but that hardly qualifies as fairly recently. Personally I think their version sucks, too.

Your description of Mott makes me think of Spirit and their opus 12 Dreams. There were so many groups in the early 70's that had so much interesting stuff going on. I didn't like the primary prog rock acts much and like them less today, but there were a lot of acts on the edge or on the forefront that I did. Like ELO when they played classical.
Your reference to Roll Away the Stone brought to mind OMD's "Beauty in the River". That's another band with depth, and two hits, the second being an embarrassment IMO. But Zevon is haunted by his werewolves and Deep Purple is hidden by smoke. So it goes.
