It's really good. Very well done. Excellently done, really.
But.
It really brings to mind why the Stones are so good and why their rhythm, give and take, weave and wobble, work so well, Rocks Off especially giving audible proof of why the Stones are so damn good, where as the version by Hookers And Blow, a very good rock band, obviously, is just... rock band average: Aerosmith or Def Leppard would do it almost exactly the same so... you know, nice nod and all but nothing interesting.

That one note the guitarist was bending sounds like he was trying to cover a little bit for the missing horn parts that accent the phrases .
Probably and unfortunately.....the keyboarderQuote

Very very good but I felt that they were "too close" to the original. And that wasn't live, they were playing over their studio recording.
I am not into heavy metal but look at what Frog Leap Studios has done to the song Africa. Note the girl's power vocals are double or triple-tracked and it sounds FANTASTIC IMO.
I thought I was going to be the only one taking exception to the PRS guitar ? Thanks for mentioning itQuote

I think I'd get my Rocks Off if they played it live like that, in a club near me.

For sure , no replacing or duplicating Charlie's swingQuote

Hey good job guys overall, not your fault, but you're missing Charlie Watts.
I love Mott The Hoople . I had a chance to see Ian Hunter with Mick Ronson on guitar way back in 1988 and it was the closest for me to the original Mott . Great band with a lot of great tunes !Quote

Though close to the original with nothing newly original to make it their's added, still, a nice cover. The piano at the end put me in mind of "All The Way From Memphis" by Mott The Hoople.
