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

[@iggy9955]

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.

[@Donna-jc9yh]

Mark passed away at 29 years.

[@michaelbonner68]

You n me both buddy

[@Peacelovesunshinepositivity]

🧔 T rex is the best glam rock band ever. The 70s is the best decade ever. 🌻✌☮🔯

[@martinwebb1681]

Agreed, followed closely by the sixties, well some of it anyways.

[@andyedelwei7690]

Yes. Marc is the greatest Glamrocker !

[@schizoidman9781]

Queen ???

[@michaelmarr416]

Indeed

[@DevinRyanVitek]

It’s a testament to Marc’s art and legacy that we’re still here listening.

[@elwaytorrance6057]

This was filmed 50 years ago today...truly an icon. Marc Bolan & T-Rex will live forever!

[@user-iu3yj2dl8j]

Yes, Marc forever. So glad we have his music!

[@turferguson1219]

Thank God my mom loved glam rock- she loved Bowie, The Sweet, and T-Rex…this song was one of my favorites as a child and still is ❤

[@horrortackleharry]

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!

[@planetqueen4782]

Wonderful to see this in colour after all these years ! Thanks so much . KALMIYH ALWAYS ❤❤

[@denniscattell]

There's always something new to discover about T. Rex, and hopefully there always will be, Claire! A brilliant vid here, well done to all concerned!

[@TheMakoyou]

I’m Japanese and surprised that this song has so few plays. I loved this song when I was in junior high school.

[@perryturnball8310]

Marc Bolan and T-Rex will forever be untouchably cool. Sounds as exciting and cool in 2024 as it did in 1972.

[@iggy9955]

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. I am from Croatia, Zadar, Adriatic coast Veteran of independence war.

[@Segundo_Grande]

Bravo, respekt.

[@chantelleadlington]

I love Marc Bolan/T Rex! I was born 21 years after he died but I'm a huge fan. I would've loved to have witnessed his greatness firsthand. He was such a talented and beautiful man 😍

[@JustineLaLoba]

It was something to behold.

[@ivanmay7890]

T. Rex and David Bowie are the inventors of glam rock. May they both Rest In Peace.

[@Twisted_RC]

I was raised listening to both around the house 🤣 Mums taste in music is pretty good

[@Slo-ryde]

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.

[@kellyreade6355]

That was incredible! What a fantastic treat ... 50 years later we get to see Marc and his band, new film footage - in glorious colour! THANK YOU!! xoxo

[@davidwalker8955]

We Loved Marc and his Music then and now so many years later T Rex were and are right up there with the best.

1972 was such a good year for music, slightly better than 71 but not as great as 70. Love to see this footage after 50 years!

[@missasinenomine]

Another example of the world's greatest guitarist on one single note.

he actually never learnt to play guitar. it was all vamping but very good vamping. he had talent.

[@johnhenni2808]

This song declares its' craziness loud and proud. I love the driving beat, which is in the time signature of a military march. One of kinds of songs if there's enough energy and an infectious tune in it, makes it a sure success!

[@robertdegraw3551]

love this T. Rex song....50 years...still hear the influence today!

[@georgedickens261]

Love it how Steve Currie(Bass Player) slips out of his suit jacket without interrupting his playing? Regardless love his Music! These Guys are Legends!

Great to see this unseen footage. I was only 4 years old in 1972. Remember watching the ‘Marc’ tv series on tv in 1977 and was so sad when he tragically died but loved him ever since! Preordered the 1972 box set and so looking forward to receiving it in April. Kalmiyh 🎩🎶🎸🖤
