    Absolutely fantastic treat to see this 50 years later! Half a century on, and Marc and his band still rockin' like nobody else. xo Lovely to see more of Bill, Steve, and Mickey (all looking so cool!), and wonderful, clear colour. THANK YOU! How rare it is to find anything "undiscovered" of Marc and his band. This is very much appreciated. xxoo

      Yes!!! What a rhytam. Steve is rare fantastyc fingerpicker in glam rock he is heavy and melodic in same time. Great support Marc's guitar. Bill play simple but strong and Mickey conga's is fantastyc support sound of T. Rex.

    Was too young at the time, but have been watching a few documentaries about Bolan lately and man, that guy was IT for a while back in the early 70s. Ahead of the curve musically & culturally, and cool af with it. Still sounds great today!

      Bowie and Bolan were once close collaborators and had a similar style, but they had a big falling out right before Bowie became big… they were both Glam rockers, but Bowie was more successful in his style,….Bolan could not rise beyond the “ electric warrior” album, and slowly went by the wayside….Glam faded in the US in the mid 70s in favor of disco and punk, and many Glam artists faded, except for Bowie who adjusted to the times….Bolan still did well in Europe.

  • @iggy9955
    @iggy9955 Před 2 lety +19

    He made so many songs himself that it seems impossible. He was ahead of his time. My first idol.
    I ordered T. Rex shirts online. Before, I made them myself with a stencil and car spray
    If there weren't t-shirts with bands in the 70s. Today, at 61, I will wear the originals.
