T. Rex - Telegram Sam

[MidgetBuddie]

Seeing as im still a teenager, stereotypically i should be sticking up for the music of today, but its not that great, i prefer the earlier records like this one! At least his lips and his voice are in sync with each other! Seems to me that when i watch concerts on tv the singers arent even singing along with the backing track..... they mime it instead.

[boogieelaine]

brilliant 

[TheSpacecowboy101]

still as briliant now as then, plus "no cigar smokin dudes" with there magical music boxes that could make a camel sound like a nightingale . think real talent in this country is nearly all dead n buried unfortunately.

[silviucercel]

that riff is out of this world

[dummytree]

The version of the matinée show is quite funny :)

Bolan carries on like a trooper in it.

[CookieMischief8]

This... where's my time machine? Dear God Marc was beautiful... my creys ;___;

[enersenseAu]

Thank goodness I have this on DVD - Marc was and still is the rocker. Send us a Telegram Marc! Showman extrordanaire. Lets not forget that he did this when we didnt have Simon "the soul sucker" cowell and all the manufactured 'success'. Marc did it and sold more thah the beatles. He was a STAR and still is...

[morningeuphoria64]

rock"N"roll wouldn"t be what it is without the Jeepster" :D

[classicrocker08]

if you were to look up tone in the dictionary, this is where it should take you

[ulli1159]

[ruud40]

@ulli1159

40yrs...

[HenryLewisRadd]

wow, band is on fire here. Marc's tone is rip snortin'.

[lcolby11]

His fans back then were very young teeny boppers, the older kids did not listen to T Rex

[snoopy9949]

@lcolby11 Well I did and I was 26 in 1972 and still watching these videos today.

[marcelpascottoable]

fuckin' burnin' guitar sound!!! T.REX's style!!!

[glt712]

Dazzling, even after all these years. and that guitar tone.

[burgesmate]

never mind glam rock - this is killer rhythm and blues

[experienceadvertisin]

Killer live version of Telegram Sam...ROCK!

[musoshi]

Listen to that extra guitar bit he's playing, it's sounds like the guitar is singing the chorus with him.

[onlyjoetee]

they were actually a very good solid rock and roll band,not just some pop thing,they could actually PLAY...

[NowMyPoundsHaveRunOu]

that's George Best in the audience, third from the left, spilling beer over everyone and skipping training again

[Promoagent]

His knack for writing catchy tunes was great

[estabansmythe]

Filmed & directed by The Famous Ringo (Starr)!

[msclarkeyy]

brings me back to the 70's when my brother John used to play the music and he had the same wild hair, great memories C.O'C

[164jord]

Woo, i love how raw this sounds! Automatic shoes...

[3459moon]

Super Wonderful Boogie. !!! Moon

[garthspencer]

Rock`n Roll

[experienceads]

Marc Bolan was a real Rock Star...not like these supposed rockers of today...

[FuckThisCentury]

[EmmyRocker1]

@experienceads indeed!!!

[77Sinner]

1:08...yum yums...

[vnubrunette]

DAMN!!

that's what i call music!!

Marc is a legend!

[MAGGAN1961]

absolutely great-

love this so much!!

[pat77094]

I love the use of the split screen on the video.

[electricslims]

There is a backing vocal track on this. Was it dubbed in after?

[dummytree]

@electricslims Yes it was. There are some (not many though) overdubs on "Born To Boogie".

The good thing with that remastered DVD version is that at least it's Bolan's real live vocal as opposed to the old version on VHS where his vocal was also overdubbed.

[TUDPAK]

DOORZ SUX DICK!

[whatkatiedid15]

uhhh. ok.

but you ARE aware this isnt the doors, right?

[77Sinner]
