Marc Bolan and T.Rex - Hot Love (Top of the Pops 1971)

[opossumd]

I'm falling in love with Marc... yet again... yet too late, sigh :(

[amespoison]

@cymru9 thanks very much for the info! gives me a shorter time frame

[amespoison]

does anyone happen to know the date of this appearance?

[cymru9]

@amespoison This was number 1 on the day I was born and I was born April 11th 1971 so around that date I guess!

How I wish I was on the 70's... :( the music of my generation sucks

[cruiserjulie]

I am so happy i was a teenager in the 70's listening to T-Rex, Slade and others of that era.  And those songs are still quite popular xx

[DesdomonaChild]

God we were lucky - who could match Marc and T.Rex now? Ok there is talent out there - but not the extravagant - not the imagination - not the flamboyant charisma that Marc had. What has happen to people being different ? You walk down the road and everyone's cloned. The kids all dress the same, like a uniform! Where have all the individuals gone ? Thank God we had magic and imagination and people like Marc to influence so many in so many different ways.

@DesdomonaChild

Great comment, thx

[taffysaur]

this is the moment it happened; marc said let there be rock, + there was.

[castiger1957]

The bongo-ist, Micky Finn, is on the drums at the front, must be just before they signed the drummer.

[NutrientAgar]

No dislikes, obviously :).

[HackerGuitarist]

where is the bongo-ist ?

[gracehawtin11]

Im 18 and wish i could have been a 70's teen :( Mainly because of Marc Bolan and T.Rex, in comparison to the music out now they were amazing, and still are, especially Marc, absolutely love the man!! xx

[TheGerrr]

[KaditzerEiche]

[expatbritingermany]

Marc Bolan was the only star I EVER had a poster of on my bedroom wall. Mind you, in recent years I have 'discovered' a new idol, who has taken his place ;-))) Still love T.Rex, though!

[DesdomonaChild]

@expatbritingermany Could it be J.D ??? - Marc's still on the wall in the kitchen but J.D is taking over a bit!

[Feisty1967]

Why only 2 of them?

[elementz1986]

Wikipedia says this performance was the birth of glam rock.

[thepinktent]

the prettiest star

[stevecowdry]

Happy days - Dobie Hall, Larbert, discos!

[platypusboy]

so that bass player, he needs a mic because he's going to sing something? there he goes, oh...no he's not.

[audiotrax2000]

I love this, but the way people danced back then....doo wacka doo! :)

[Feisty1967]

This was the start of the dodgy camera effects on TOTP that my Dad used to moan about. What do Dads know?

[Maliceuk]

@Feisty1967 My dad used to go all funny when Pans people came on,slagged them off but still gawped at the telly whilst they were on,heh,Dads ;)

[marylebone454]

[MrScrivmeister]

Makes me glad I was a teenager in the 70's not now with all the crap there is.

[ColumRogers]
