Marc Bolan Dandy in the Underworld RARE ALTERNATIVE LIVE

[RayL1983]

Marc's routine seems a bit dated by the late '70s. The camp thing seems a little out of place with the punk thing happening. It was good that he went against the grain.

Looks like he's on drugs hahaha. But who cares! :]

[paulph12002]

Good, but not that rare. it's on the Marc TV shows DVD.

[jroo3017]

Is the Marc show available on DVD- complete series? I've only seen the bits and pieces, but would love to have every juicy Marc moment!

Happy Birthday, Marc. Forever 29, Forever Beautiful, and Forever Missed....

Funny how he had to substitute "T Rex nights" for the real lyrics. Ah, British TV in the '70s!

chanteleigh, you're so right--Marc looked great in fuchsia. But then he was hot no matter WHAT he was wearing!

[justnicknet]

@LinuxGeeksRock It was actually T-Rex nights first. Once upon a time.

[LinuxGeeksRock]

@justnicknet I've always understood--and everything I can find online reaffirms this--that the original phrase was "cocaine nights," changed to "T.Rex nights" both on TV and on the single. Apparently, it was too risque and/or offensive to say COCAINE! *shock*

[justnicknet]

@LinuxGeeksRock I swear there's a demo somewhere on youtube where he uses T-Rex nights in the first verse, and I later realised that Cocaine comes in on the second verse. So I suppose technically both are right.

I loved Marc Bolan when I was a kid, and was so shocked and saddened when he died. It's great to see videos of him again. Thanks so much for posting this!

L-u-v it! I prefer this song live anyway, but this is a great version, a rare find, my friend! Thanks for sharing. Marc is always beautiful, but I LOVE that man in pink! thanks for sharing.

Not being a brit, we didnt get the Marc show in australia (i believe..as i was not even a glimmer in my dads eye then)... its such a pity... i love this song.

Such a personal song....this version is very good..im so glad to see it...thank you.

My only small little issue is the lack of backing vocals for the chorus... the lower tone voice (which i believe is not marc) is so full in the album mix... ive seen some other live performences that the other guitarist sings the low toned vox

[soulrebel2008]

i love this version !!!

5 + fav and thank you !

and remember chanteleigh keep a little marc in your heart :))

[chanteleigh]

Yup, one of my favorite versions as well! Sounds great, and he's beautiful (the pink shirt is priceless - so Marc!)

he knew that the end was comming. the great marc bolan R.I.P

[imalovedrunk]

the prettist star in the sky miss you main man

[chanteleigh]

Most definitely. Absolutely the most unique man I think I've ever seen. He was constantly evolving and improving. I can only imagine the masterpieces he might have turned out. Maybe we would have even seen him write that rock opera after all....R.I.P. beautiful boy, the world is forever a little less bright without you.
