Just saw that this group (a favorite of mine back in college years) is touring again this Spring and will play in Milwaukee. Saw them in concert around '74...
OK, I know I'm getting old, but this (from a Rolling Stone piece about the upcoming tour) is a little sobering:

The group reunited in 2009 with much of the “All The Young Dudes” lineup still intact, though drummer Dale Griffin was suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and was only able to play during the encores. They toured again in 2013, but since then they’ve been faced with a series of tragedies including the death of Griffin in 2016 and the death of bassist Pete Overend Watts in 2017. Guitarist Mick Ralphs is still alive, but in 2016 he suffered a stroke and has been out of commission ever since.

BTW, lead singer Ian Hunter turns 80 this year...
