Don't you mean her(s) oh yeah I see him now. I'm enjoying the live performance, although I find the backup singers are a little bit overwhelming. Backup singers should never be louder than the lead singer and Marc Bolan's voice on this song is so like sensuous, sexy. Ok now he's getting down to the bone! Yeah this is a keeper for the live performance (3rd one I've checked out right now, one was a live video someone added a background effects to and dubbed the studio audio, according to the KZbin info on the song, I didn't watch the whole thing) The other one T. Rex sounded better but Marc Bolan's performance here is way cool. I still wanna hear the studio version, audio is good enough.

My very first of well over a thousand shows I saw T Rex, fronting Three Dog Night. Bolan set his guitar up against a marshal stack and played his solo to this song with a bullwhip, whopping that Les Paul all the while the black girl background singers wailing, smoke shooting up from everywhere and near total chaos around the stage. I left saying out loud to all my friends, that, right there, is what I wanna do for a living. And I did for many years, nowhere famous but full of piss and vinegar and fun as hell. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Boland.

[@FERNANDOJOSESORIACASTRO]

El 16 de septiembre de 1977, Gloria Jones, cantante y compositora afroamericana, conduciendo un Mini 1275 GT por el distrito londinense de Barnes, lo estrelló contra un árbol. Ella con heridas graves, salvo su vida y de hecho aún cuenta con ella; a su lado iba su pareja sentimental que salió volando del automóvil y murió en el acto. Este era, MARC BOLAN, uno de los genios de la música más grandes que ha existido en este planeta. Yo, le debo mucho, su música, su voz y su estilo calaron en mi ser de tal forma que aún perdura mi sentir por su partida y aún permanece mi gusto por su obra. Ese mismo día me enteré de tan triste noticia, produciendo en mi un dolor sentimental casi familiar. A partir de entonces su canción emblemática “Get It On” fue “un himno continuo” en mi forma de sentir, ser y vivir. Sólo el Walk On The Wild Side de Lou Reed me ha imprimido mas sentimiento que este tema de Marc Bolan. Hoy se cumplen cuarenta años de su muerte y recuerdo ese día como si fuera ayer. Hey, Marc ! … No he conseguido todo lo que soñé , pero cierto es que lo que he tenido ha sido sensacional. Thank you so much for everything. fernando j. soria castro

[@gabby8103]

Yeah.true. But I lived through this and there are plenty of other live recordings of this song, FAR SUPERIOR. The 2 black women were no asset. They RUINED IT and the band. Gloria Jones was Bolan's girlfriend, ousting his beautiful wife June. Gloria was loud, always really off her face, cocaine,speed,etc with a screeching voice like a Banshee. That screeching destroys the song/music. The other off her face woman was just as bad. AND UGLY. Grotesque dancing, utterly tasteless. They were big, loud and domineering. Gloria was there simply because she was Marc's girlfriend. You hardly see the gorgeous and patient Mickey Finn after the Banshee arrived...........Mickey Finn WAS A MAJOR PART OF THE REAL T REX and here he's almost just an add on. I mean he was awesome, stunning, beautiful. It.was.all downhill from here, Mickey left in 74. Currie not long after. Mickey and Marc had a blue when Mickey hurt his hand and couldn't play bongos for a few nights and Marc lost it and even kicked him. No more Mickey. Gloria brought in an element of too much brain fry drugs. I mean it was always there, but it drastically increased. Some say she was the Yoko Ono of T Rex. Destroyed it. What did he see in her????? God, look at her, the chin would hit you before you even got close. Then she drove their mini, off her face, into a bloody tree. Made sure she finished the job properly. Shit.
