T.Rex "Jeepster" 1973 U.S.A

[@greg7656]

First saw this on ABC's "In Concert" 50 years ago last night

[@darrendobson2442]

Bloody hell - Marc Bolan rocked it out hard. He was also incredibly intelligent with the use of the double beat between the bongos and drums.

[@Joseph-vl7ik]

Yes I agree.

[@jodibolan438]

Yep 😊👍

[@marktyson2226]

I was at this show, 14 yrs old. I remember it was loud AF!!

[@marceloaraujo8728]

r o c k

[@jodibolan438]

Lucky 😊

[@nirvanafan500]

To be playing like this all the way back in the start of the 70s. 50+ years ago . Paved the way for other legends.

[@deborahbeswick1396]

Oh yes!!!!! I was there. Up close of course. Cool so so cool. Santa Monica Civic was such an intimate venue. My favorite, saw so so many bands that were on their 1st US your. Bowie, Queen, T-Rex, Slade and many more. I feel it still.

[@DEADBUGsays]

Once the cape comes out you know it's over.

[@larrymeditz9512]

Just think how big Marc would have been if he was still alive when MTV aired in 1981 he would've been at the top again worldwide ..... now he's at the top playing with John Lennon and George Harrison R.I.P. Marc,

[@gogoyubari366]

Larry Meditz There are no amplifiers or guitars in the afterlife.

[@boataxe4605]

Buzzweenie 2017 Well if that's the case I'm sure he's rocking the fuck out of the harp.

[@marcbolanish]

Totally Agree!

[@marcbolanish]

Oh Boat Axe, I'm fucken pissin' myself with laughter - that has to be the comment of the year! Well done! He'd be driving that harp nuts! Cheers!

[@jodibolan438]

I know, right? Tell me about it. 😊😊

[@cricketbat09]

American fans could never have imagined quite how massive T.Rex were in the UK at that time. :)

[@marcbolanish]

I agree - they didn't quite get it? Although he was huge in some isolated pockets of U.S. But nothing compared to the mania experienced elsewhere in the world. He was HUGE!

[@annwhite2346]

Marc blew it. Check out Trex live performance of Bang a gong on the Midnight special, should have laid off the coke.

[@davidkettles11]

He was big time over here in south Georgia

[@silvergirlie]

oh he's JUST adorable. i love all of it. everything.

[@marcbolanish]

Six months after this performance he was doin' The Australian Tour (I was there during his cognac Coke stage and he left me trembling!

[@jacquelinemartell7565]

That little smile at the beginning tho

[@melodygoodman540]

Yes that smile could melt snow in the North Pole.

[@jodibolan438]

Exactly, what a hunk ❤🥰

[@capricosm8086]

Marc was a great guitarist

[@marcbolanish]

Yes he Was!

[@aidenajarvis6808]

Especially with the Gibson Les Paul

[@theskipster57]

@trexmarcbolan I saw marc around 1973 Baltimore,Md. He opened up for Three Dog Night ! ! About 10 rows back, center stage.. had to stand on chair arms to see. What a show!! so much "energy", to good to be true...He stole the show !!! Best Times...

If only I could have been there. W0W

[@perth45]

Such an under- rated guitarist.....

[@marcbolanish]

Totally!

[@mikeollier5716]

@@marcbolanish He's OK ~ just a bog standard blues/Chuck Berry chancer.

[@marcbolanish]

True, there's no challenging your comment. However, so were so many other people who grew up from that previous era and left their signature trademark like "Keef" for instance - anyway, I like the way Bolan had his own "fucked-up" personal siganature on R'n'R. (No matter how imperfect.)

[@shootfirst2097]

Nothing interesting in his sloppy, bluesy riffs.

[@Ram44]

Weird how he used his middle finger where 99% of us use our ring finger.

[@ЛилияРайхерт-ж2х]

Мировая легенда Не похож ни на кого. Свой стиль , яркий талант... 👍♥️👍

[@berniepower5598]

T Rex are legends mark bolan was a great singer and guitar player

[@mikeswartz3146]

Listened to this over and over. It was like anti depression medicine fro listening to other rock bands music.

[@andreashering875]

Tatsächlich dieses Musik zündet sofort bei mir . Dagegen z.B. Pink Floyd oder Genisis haben mich nie berührt

[@Grogster2]

Way cool............ this is rock n roll! Miss the guy heaps

[@davidmark3788]

O.M.G. WHAT A LOVELY SONG WITH MARC. SONG =100% COSTUMES 100% VID 100% COOOOOOOOOOOOL .TX MARC FOR SHARING. KEEP A LITLE MARC IN YOUR HEART MARIA.O

[@curtisprice6046]

Excellent, excellent. I always liked the augmented T.Rex, with Gloria and Pat, and long solos over the more stripped down earlier stuff. Bolan was a superb and distinctive guitarist, very under-rated, mainly because he save the guitar work-outs for live shows and little of it appeared on recordings.

[@silvergirlie]

fuck gloria. why didn't SHE take the metal pole to the eyeball??

[@leswilliams180]

What a performer loved him when I was 17 an still do died to young yank didn’t deserve him

[@shirtshine73blitz]

Marc's guitar is out of tune, but the way he plays it here is just pure abuse. He was bloody good.
