i read an article once, from a bloke who's job was to clean up after concerts, he said after a Mark Bolan gig the floor was covered in discarded wet knickers and pints of piss. lets face it, Mark had that magic quality, i wont name names, you know who they are! i am a "bedroom" guitarist with many weapons and pedals, but never found that "thin" light germaniun transistor sound that was so sweet in the '70s. probably need that one in a million guitar with magic pick ups ! thanks for reading.
He played quite simple, basic riffs but made them sound awesome. I love his spaced-out lyrics ("you've got the universe reclining in your hair") and it's just exciting to watch him on stage.
@@Meddled Sorry but I didn't realise that you had such a diverse catalogue of recordings and legions of followers 43 years after your death....basic? You probably think Jerry Garcia and Ace Frehley are stellar guitarist...tell me,where can I pick up some of your million selling recordings?
@@quazwasd4062the basic repeated augmented A chord and the "you're so sweet you're so fine" but Marc added the climb up as well as the c, Em, A progression and the descending riff after each verse. Certainly used the HWolf song as a foundation, but added some great stuff. There's a recording of Marc playing guitars at home with Roy Wood where he says he "nicked" Jeepster from Howlin Wolf, but I think he sold himself short in terms if what he added. Now I Love to Boogie he nicked certainly musically from Webb pierce, but I love Marc's cosmic surreal lyrics he changed it to.
Chippchipp, really? Radiohead have one song only which worth to listen ,, Creep ,, All their others are just sound as a GarageBand practicing in their home. I have one advice for you, look up Marc Bolans catalogue and then look up Radiohead’s . Marc written thousands of songs lyrics all worthy to read!!!
those days were classic...marc bolan straight up kicks ass out there..t rex and the 70s...cant reproduce this kind of music and feeling ever again.....it stands forever in the pantheon of rock n roll.. ..
omg! I love the bass player and wish the camera-person had focused on him too!! The song wouldn't have been as good without his talent. Great song & great video!!
Marc Bolan, such groove, such glam, such sex just drips from everything he did...had the pleasure to see him in June '72 in London, my main goal when I was there for just 10 days!! Sadly missed, but so fortunate to be able to pull up a video anytime...just imagine what could have been in the changin' times...Jeepster for T-Rex anyday!
Marc Bolan enlightened the world as to what a ROCK STAR was. I bought "Electric Warrior" in '71, while in Jr. High, and found out that 'Bang a Gong' was only a small amount of this man's talent. He was ahead of the times. It has always been a mystery to me, as to why Marc Bolan and TRex were not able to achieve the popularity in the U.S., that they did in Europe and elsewhere. Marc Bolan is MORE recognized NOW, for his talent and music, than he was during the '70s. I guess he was further ahead of the times than anyone knew.
The USA at the time were more into the Eagles etc Marc's style and Music was too early for them. Bowie made it because record company spent a lot of money promoting him.
First single I bought just before my 11th birthday for 50p its still one of all time faves so sexy so rockin so fabulous there will never be another Bolan
@@timmullens9479 I saw him live in Sydney, Australia .. I have to admit he was not all I was hoping he would be .. he was nothing like he is in this clip (if only he had been). Something was wrong .. I have no idea what .. drugs ?? All is forgiven though. I also saw Slade live .. Noddy Holder was high on drugs for the first half of the concert. He actually walked into the speakers. Fortunately in the second half of the concert he came good and was mesmerizing.
Marc invented or perfected so many rockstar moves, including the fish-face, and he's generally recognized as the originator of Glam.... by no less an authority than Bowie himself. Amazing when you consider that, at the dawn of the 1970s, Bolan transformed the gentle acoustic freak-folk of Tyrannosaurus Rex into the Electric Warrior Glam of T. Rex. Great stuff.
Originator of Glam? I think Lou Reed was doing it earlier, like in the sixties with Velvet Underground. HE is the one who influenced Bowie to go there!
Agree. I think T.Visconti was producing Bolan and Bowie at the same time, they were rivals when they first met, than became friends. Bolan was doing glam first. Lady Stardust is about him.
It was all the same period, Nobody came first or second. Its not the Olympic games! People of similar mind and taste influence each other sublimely> Thats how music scenes have always been. and not all the hippy acoustic stuff was gentle. Just listen to Bolans 3 or 4 albums from 1960's, Some full on bongo, guitar work, a bit like flamenco! It could be wild too!
I don't think Lou Reed was really Glam before 71 or 72 (Transformer didn't come out until late 72). Velvet Underground Loaded came out in late 1970 and that was decidedly not Glam. I think Marc Bolan deserves credit as the originator of Glam Rock.
A great song writer .I would say the songs were classics I still remember the first concert 1971 he give so much to my generation an many to follow the man is a legend
Unca Marc is usually considered the cornerstone of Glam Rock but somehow never acknowledged for his influence on Hard Rock and what would later become known as "Heavy Metal". Bolan could take a Boogie and beat the hell out of it🤘
As a 17yo kid. Bored with the self-indulgence bands of the late 60s. Was stunned at what happened. Was always great but he awoke me wanting something harder. Some rough nuts from up north suddenly released Cos I Luv you.. Great days.
Love the T.Rex fans that I am reading. I am from Los Angeles and in the late 70's and early 80's, I was the only one listening to Marc. It is really cool to see how many fans not only remember, but still support. Too bad the US just didn't get it!
They didn't but they didn't get punk or post punk either..that's why they say new wave in America. I saw T-Rex in Detroit with Roxy Music 1971..What a impression it made on a girl of 15. Fortunate and so so lucky. I'm grateful for being born when I was. Cheers to you
He's playing it like he's played it a million times & somehow trying to do something different with it, but still give fans the song they want to hear. Brilliant playing from him.
He says he is a vampire. Narcissists do that. They suck the love right out of you. I love him because he is unique and I love his music. But, he has all the characteristics of a narcissist. He is unique. I am buying the t-shirt for sure.
Nothing that good just can't last long enough. Such a huge loss, One of a Kind, bet this will still be very popular come Year 2525 and man will survive.

52 years ago....Keep A Little Marc In Your Heart..💗
It was a tragedy when he died so young but when you look at it now Marc Bolan was never going to be old. He lives young forever
His Gf killed him
i'd do terrible things to be born at a time when i could've seen greats like Marc shine on stage
Jeezus, look at how much fun he's having!! If he was still around today, I think it's a safe bet he'd be doing the same
Yup.. love marc.. ❤ One of the best.. miss him so much 😢
ミッキー・フィンも大好き❤

Seeing a clip like this makes you realise how truly great he was. RIP Mar(c)k Feld (Bolan)
2love oh yah iggy no hole to heal
Yes
He was awesome so original
This is not only talent -this is called charisma.
So true!
Alina Kwaśna
A glam rock man if there ever was one. Rest in peace, Marc Bolan.
What a load of crap....
He was a peacock with no feathers....
Yes!
One of the horniest songs ever recorded! Marc was a writer of erotic poetry in many ways.
Good Lord he was awesome!
a brilliant, under-rated guitatrist.....
The total package here. Whoa! Bolan had it going on at this point.
i read an article once, from a bloke who's job was to clean up after concerts, he said after a Mark Bolan gig the floor was covered in discarded wet knickers and pints of piss. lets face it, Mark had that magic quality, i wont name names, you know who they are! i am a "bedroom" guitarist with many weapons and pedals, but never found that "thin" light germaniun transistor sound that was so sweet in the '70s. probably need that one in a million guitar with magic pick ups ! thanks for reading.

Agreed.
Yes !!
I was there that day! So lucky!
Joanne Larner I was there to
He had the licks no worry about that siree
Absolutely loving his life!!
If I could play guitar like anyone, it would be him!!
You are right on amazing guitar player my Main Man for ever 👀💕 his sound, kalmiyheart
He could scarcely play guitar at all. Finn did most of the riffs. He had backing guitarists as well. Are you that fucking dumb?
Another dude that was way ahead of his time. Such a shame he was taken so soon.
+rodentcafeteria
I never understood the "ahead of his time" concept. Bolan was huge in his time. In another time he might have been ignored.
Nicolas Martin plus his music was mostly a throwback to the '50s with a few twee psychedelic things thrown in.
@@Meddled Two things are obvious here AI... one is that you don't play guitar,and two is that you haven't listened to much of his music....
@@MaxMoon65 I do play guitar. How is that relevant? Marc Bolan was a very basic guitarist.
@@Meddled Sorry but I didn't realise that you had such a diverse catalogue of recordings and legions of followers 43 years after your death....basic? You probably think Jerry Garcia and Ace Frehley are stellar guitarist...tell me,where can I pick up some of your million selling recordings?
Chuck Berry's influence so clear here, but transformed into something brilliant.
It's actually from a riff from Howlin' Wolf's "You'll be Mine". ( Hugh Sumlin guitar.)

I am fascinated by his guitar style. I have seen anything quite like it.
The tone of the guitar is wonderful! He is great Les Paul player.
His guitar playing wasn’t complicated, but he had a great sound and great voice. Rock n roll isn’t suppose to be complex. Rock on! RIP
MB just rocks, he's the king of strut.
Greatest Heroes of Glam-Rock ! No Party without T.Rex. I Love this Music !⚡️🎸⚡️🇬🇧🇩🇪
An absolute legend today bands don't even come close to his talent.
Absolutely. Can't think of a current band who will be remember like T-Rex.

I'll help you out. Foo Fighters Dave grohl
Timeless!!!! Wish he was here for their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ~ he would've LOVED IT!!
Oh you can believe that there is a rock hall in heaven,
and T.REX is
there !❤
He was able to put a Warble in his voice that no singer other than Buffy Saint-Marie ever did. Love that weird Warble his was able to produce! Unique!
Bowie did it. " black country rock ".
Steven Tyler.
Marc was fantastic!
those days were classic...marc bolan straight up kicks ass out there..t rex and the 70s...cant reproduce this kind of music and feeling ever again.....it stands forever in the pantheon of rock n roll..

He seemed to really enjoy himself on stage, without being too full of himself :)

anyone grooving to such greatness in the age of COVID ?
when i think in a rock star , i think in marc bolan , his guitar , his hair , his moves , all his person is rock ' roll .

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS
First single I bought just before my 11th birthday for 50p its still one of all time faves so sexy so rockin so fabulous there will never be another Bolan
Chuck Berry has had some guitar jams with Marc Bolin up in heaven. Chuck likes this one a lot.
F - A - N - T - A - S - T - I - C ..... T.REX, GLAM ROCK LEGENDS.
This is too cool. For the fans, yes, Mickey Finn is no Steve Took, but this is one rocking song. I want the hair of anyone on that stage.
Always my number 1
He was great live! The true sign of a great artist.
+RazzleDazz72 well , he could be great live but others will tell you -he was awful often as well-just sayin'.

To były lata muzy czyli 70ąte teraz to tzw 'sieka' i tyle w tym temacie!!
Love hearing Jeepster live, sounds very good.
以前齋藤先生の所でお会いしました。私は機械オンチだし、歌うのは好きですが、テープにとって聴いたらえーっと思うほど音痴だったから、人前で歌うのは苦手なんです。サイモンとガーファンクル、フランスの名優でオペラでも活躍しているランベール・ウィルソン氏、それからグラム・ロックのＴ・レックスが大好きなんです。トム・ジョーンズの「デライラ」、ジョニー・ティロットソンの「ポエトリー」、それにインディアンハープ演奏の「アパッチ」がすごく好きでした。日本の歌では演歌が好き。でも、中学生になったら演歌っておんなじような歌詞ばっかりって思いました。今はまた好きですけど。また、齋藤先生に会いたいです。お元気でしょうか?
What a fuckin great sound, and he looks so good on stage.
Love the faces he pulls brill
Bolan had wisdom way beyond his years as do many gifted people
First gig I ever saw was T.Rex Xmas concert at the Edmonton Sundowner. I was what...12? Now I am 56. Hell, it's still so good.
it kind of throwed me into another world back then
ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS !

We lost this legend 30 years ago today. RIP
With all due respect, it was 40 years since he died when you posted this.
Omg this is superb.......
Marc was a spark! One of the greatest ever.
First single I ever bought! 😎 good choice I think!
Bolan seems to have really loved performing. Shame he passed so young. RIP MARC
Outstanding stuff!
This guy was ( one-off) Never anyone like him again - definitely “Kicked” it !!!!

Another The World lost too Soon,Such An Amazingly Talented Man
no one is as glam as marc bolan, period.
the essence of rock an roll
Such a fun song!!!
Bolan was a superstar!!
A great song writer .I would say the songs were classics I still remember the first concert 1971 he give so much to my generation an many to follow the man is a legend
Moves like Jagger, sings like no other...
Bolan Boogie.......he was a class act. Miss him
COOOOOOOOOOOOL!
I feel the same as the first time I listen Jeepster... in 1973.
That's what you call a STAR
This is an awesome song. One of my all-time faves. Marc Bolan left us much too early.
This raised my blood pressure!!
This is basically a Howlin Wolf record riff " You'll be mine" that was written by Willie Dixon.
Lovin you still Marc!
He was untouchable imho ..Bowie was close , but I think Bolan was a more charismatic front man , RIP legend
An absolute legend....still missed. X
Incredible.
ah ... needed something to make me feel better today ... there you go ....
Excellent!
amazing .......
RIP Marc. GOD, I miss you.

I love this guy. He was a real ROCKSTAR. Sad he died too sooooon.........
VERY UNDERESTIMATED DUE TO T REX MANIA
His guitar playing is fucking out of this way. The way he varies the rhythmic voicing throughout the song on his chording is really tight.
He's playing it like he's played it a million times & somehow trying to do something different with it, but still give fans the song they want to hear. Brilliant playing from him.
He says he is a vampire. Narcissists do that. They suck the love right out of you.
I love him because he is unique and I love his music. But, he has all the characteristics of a narcissist.
He is unique. I am buying the t-shirt for sure.
creator: I was thinking the same thing [narcissist]. A very very pretty one. Sexy as hell (sigh).
