If this was supposed to be Marc Bolan in a state of decline he seems to be playing the hell out of his guitar and singing his ass off, regardless. A bonafide rock and roll star and consummate professional who always gave it everything that he had with heart and soul🥃🌹🇬🇧🖤✌🏼

The only song I knew of theirs was Get It On (Bang a Gong). so now I am catching up and this is sure a treat! 😀
Can't stop bopping my head to his music it's just full on boogie
He just can't hide when he's happy and enjoying himself....that smile 😀
Marc is so beautiful in every period of his life I don't care what anyone says. Heck the man was only in his 20's already a multimillionaire so he had plenty of time to reinvent himself and never was a has been. Talentless twats take cheap shots at Marc because they are envious of his beauty and musical genius. Marc is a legend that has earned every shred of his iconic status.

Despite the considerable excess poundage he was carrying, that’s one of the best live readings of ‘Jeepster’ I’ve seen. Interesting too that the addition of a keyboard player and Gloria on backing vocals had finally restored all the elements that went missing when the admirable Steve Took was ditched. As I’ve said for half a century now, it took five people to replace that guy…

Marc could sure make that Gibson sing.
The background singer, Gloria Jones, was his girlfriend. She is also the one who was driving the Mini Cooper that he died in. She lost control of the car one night after a party in London, hitting a fence post and then a tree. She survived with a broken arm and jaw, and he was killed instantly. An odd piece of trivia: She was the original artist behind "Tainted Love" back in 1965. (Yes, that "Tainted Love" that was redone into the 80s anthem by Soft Cell) Another odd piece of trivia? If you insist ... that opening gag of him being lifted up on that star at the show opening was copied by Marilyn Manson during his infamous tour with Hole. Instead of a star outlined in lights, he used a cross made of TVs.

We went to quite a few shows, including Rush (original) with John Rutsey! The 70’s was absolutely the best decade!!!
Birmingham Odeon 1974, that star lifted up on a dark stage lights flashing then ... Pow! Bolan jumped from out of the middle of it, strutted across the stage and all hell broke loose. I’ll Never forget that intro ..he certainly had an aura about him.

The US didn't understand groups like T. Rex (as well as the Sweet and Slade) because they weren't 'heavy' of 'progressive' imaged enough to be pigeonholed for FM radio, and they also were too hard hitting to be pigeonholed as AM radio, pop acts. The only US act to deal with the same issues, but were able to transcend that divide were probably KISS -- probably because they had such an explosive stage act, and got accepted that way.

get it on!
hard to watch this after seeing the Wembley matinee show from 2 years earlier, this is the start of the Gloria Jones era....sad to see how far Bolan had deteriorated under her influence (and I say this as a Bolan fan since 1972).

I agree, Colin. I've just watched the Wembley shows, where he's fantastic but in this one he looks bad enough to be in a T-Rex tribute group, and the end bit - throwing down the guitar/Hendrix bit is terrible. However, his guitar playing in the show is pretty good! My first record was The Slider, which I bought in 1973, aged 11.
