  • @AucturianHybrid ...You were ahead of your time my friend....I wish Marc Bolan would-Have gotten a Better Financial-Push( better American Promotion) in his time!!! Europe Got and Understood him at the Time, but America never really did(except Bang a' Gong). He's one of my All-Time Fav's !!!

  • Maybe repressive brits just arent as evolved as Marc, and can't handle the empowered american black woman; Beautifull, raw and earthy.. Gloria Jones is wonderfull, obviously some people are threatened by Marc choosing her, and need to make up excuses; such as "poor character" or "alterior motives" on her part, as to why he could choose her.. Here Gloria's doing her thing, Marc's doing his, and it made a dynamic performance.. If you don't like her vocals, don't bash her, just skip the song.

  • @StardustMaeField Exactly. Plus, Gloria's doing her thing because Marc wanted her to. He was ultimately in charge of his own sound.

  • @xianrex1 Right on man.. Seriously Marc didnt do ANYTHING he didnt want to, and this is a prime example.. and what folks seem to miss, is that Marc was a genuine fan of Gloria's, he loved her voice (which is why he included her on his albums). Its sad that she had to lose everything, and that even Marc's fans can't appreciate her contributions. She has done so much good in Marc's name, she deserves recognition, she was never out to get anything in return. She just loved her man, and still does.

  • This song was always waiting to bust out & rock...it finally did here! The song didn't receive much air time in the states so this version is like an all new track to me some 40 years later. Great Stuff!

  • Who's the 2nd guitarist?

  • @Strawberry7Lynn The second guitarist is Jack Green who played with T.Rex late 1973 till mid 1974. He's also credited on Zinc Alloy. I agree with the other comments about this being a rock-it-out version of a classic slice of Bolan's Cosmic Rock!!

  • marc is mesmerizing

  • fuckin awesome

  • Oh ya!!!! So many awesome memories!!

  • i ACTUALLY FEEL SORRY FOR A CERTAIN PERSON ON THESE COMMENTS. iF YOU DON'T LIKE THE MUSIC,OR THE CONTENT. WHY THE HELL GIVE ABUSIVE TEXTS. GET A LIFE AND START LIVING, BOLAN BOOGIES. YOU WONT STOP THAT..

  • ITS FANTASTIC/MARC WITH HES VOICE MAKE ALL THE SONGS TO SOUND MAGICAL!!! MARIA.O

  • This is pure class! thanks for posting.....

  • What's Mickey doing at 2:40?

  • @beamerZ exactly! they don't have mickey finns around nowadays....go mickey go

  • this is a fantastic rendition! thanks for uploading...i love the guitar action in the middle, the reverb, and the superb backing singers! awesome!

  • That guitar solo sends chills through my body.

  • EPIC

  • hot erotic bolan at his best!

  • check out that tambourine chick's amazing radioactive 'fro!

  • Everything is brilliant about this. Even the terrible solo. Great stuff.

  • @SatansHellBunny What do you mean, terrible? That was rock n' roll at its best.

  • Never seen this version! Great

  • Oh, I was sooo in love with Marc Bolan in those days. He was a genius, the accident was so tragic!

  • this is my fav T.Rex song. just didnt like this performance. the back up vocal girls ruin it with their part. but its Marc Bolan so i still give it 10/10

  • Marc Bolan...a genius...so underated as an muiscal artist...so unfair...so much missed even now....still.....

  • Marc Bolan and T.Rex were absolutely brilliant!

  • I photogrphed T Rex in 1975 in Calgary. To see the shots go to .ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

  • ... hey, erinnert mich an verdammt wilde Zeiten .. ;-))

  • I love Marc!

  • awesome!!!!!! very very hot!!!!!

  • Absolutely love this

  • Marc. Just one word WHY?  Gx

  • Great performance from the best group ever!

    As for twat who does'nt get T.Rex (unfortunatley he is an american - sorry for any sane ones out there - Visconti and Jones,etc are anglophiles) you can go and f..k your sister you f...in bastard don't you realise the rest of the world f...in hates you lot you ignorant bastard

    Tony

  • @tonyfoster8661 here here...redneck wanker

  • This is awesome

    Tony

  • This man is a legend. RIP

  • You haven't lived your whole life if you've never heard this song.

  • Hot Love Rocks. Who cares what key it's in... la la la lalala la

  • The Beatles, & the Stones (with a few exceptions) do nothing for me. T. Rex are the Beatles for me. ;)

  • @RainPoetry It's a controversial opinion, but I feel the same way. T.Rex, Queen, Bowie, Led Zep to name a few are what do it for me. I can't really get behind the hype of The Beatles, but I respect what they've done for music as a whole nonetheless.

  • @IAmPlaysWithSquirrel I agree completely.T Rex was a thousand times better than the beatles and so much fun.The beatles are the most overrated band on earth.They really were nothing but pretentious hippie wank.Marc on the other hand knew how to make you dance and how to make you want to party and for that he is just awesome.

  • @OrchidOxycodone

    t-rex better than the beatles? are you kiding me? the beatles wrote far better songs.

  • Real talent at his best!

  • This song is a classic and It drives me crazy that radio stations never play it, only Bang a Gong

  • @mjw9363 YOU are an idiot. Oh...and a moron too.

  • @mjw9363 Marc was one of the BEST performers of ALL TIMES. His career took a downward turn when he got together with Ms Jones. How dare you criticise his guitar playing you tosser! He was everything; song writer, poet, singer musician, the horniest man that ever walked the planet. I hate this performance; Gloria shreeking like a bloody banshee and Marc. blinded by love or lust, thinking its OK!!!!

  • @mjw9363 Prick, Marc Bolan took the music to a new and exciting level, then came American trash, bad copies of Glam Rock.

  • @mjw9363 fucking hell, America gave us shit like Kiss and The New York Dolls

  • @pawnsacrifice1 Do I really need to name the hundreds of great American bands....From Jimi Hendrix to The Doors..from Chuck Berry to Metallica,,????...really, Man???...should I name all the AMERICAN groups The Beatles and Stones worshiped and tried to sound like???...or should I just give you Lennon's quote that says "no Elvis..no Beatles"

  • @mjw9363 Fair comment. Personally I couldn't stand Elvis and didn't like The Beatles much either. However for a little island, I think Britain can more than match the usa which dwarfs us for size with the music it has produced. Bolan didn't make it in the USA but he is a cultural icon on these shores so you are gonna get a bad reaction when he gets slagged off and died tragically young when he still had plenty to give.

  • @pawnsacrifice1 Bolan stinks Dude..flat out...2 or 3 decent songs and that makes him a icon!!???..fuck!!??..if you could even find the early T-Rex where it's him on acoustic guitar and a Dude on the bongo's..sorry...worst "music" I have EVER heard.......the UK's success in Rock is pretty simple..you speak English and we speak English...you therefore having the best ability to COPY AMERICAN music forms..Just the fact you don't "like" the Beatles and Elvis really tells me all I need to know....

  • @mjw9363 Go back to your fret board wankery mate. Looking at the shit you have on your channel, hardly think you can take the moral high ground on music....lmao. Like most Americans you no doubt have never even been outside of the country..

  • @pawnsacrifice1 Well Loser..you kept taking shots at "my Channel"..which compared to yours and the quite HOMOSEXUAL feel to your "favs"..is much more varied....Kajagoo and The Human League!!!????OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!..­look Mate..whether YOU have comes to the realization you're a homosexual...it's quite obvious to any first years Psych student...

    And go ahead and pull your foot out of your decayed teeth ridden mouth because I lived in the UK for 6 ugly,wet, dank ,sunless, home of the ugly, YEARS

  • Comment removed

  • Boys and Girls THAT is how it is done! GlamRox Cowboy Ridin'r hard!

    ...I love the way she twitch. you know it.

  • Mickey is so lovely.

  • so sad there is no more glam rock nowadays... RIP Marc, you will always be truly missed

  • Marc died 14 days before his 30th. birthday. i remember the day, i was 20 years old and a great fan. sometimes i wished i could use a timemachine and went back to the 70ties, my best time in life. sorry about my bad english :-(

  • Thxs for this Posting - my memories of youth and I was so in love with Marc <3 dream of every girl in the 70ies ;o)

    Best of Glam-Rock was T-Rex - RiP Marc

  • tHANK YOU SOOOOOO MUUUCH FOR THIS VIDEO

  • You can hold my hand anytime.

  • He is great!

  • Wonderful!

  • Bolan has this great ability to look good in anything - clothes and jewellery which would have looked out of place on anyone else, looked spot on with him...he was an amazing talent.

  • @londonboy59 Exactly, on all counts. I think he looked fantastic in fuchsia, pink, purple, that range of colors--and what other male rock star would even TRY that?!

  • Just makes me smile :-)

  • Great screamer,Marc!

  • OMG They suck on this. I can't deal with Marc Bolan that much after the Tanx album.

  • rock on marc and glo love ya both

  • That isn't Gloria doing the mani - it's some other bird - Gloria is just still and static and shit

  • @bazbox Sister Pat Hall was the other chick singer next to Gloria.

  • Marc Bolan prefered the lable "Cosmic Rock" over "Glam Rock".

  • SUPERB!

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Always love to see Marc, and of course he's brilliant here- but- Gloria is distracting- that manic dance is just toooo much. I'm no Gloria-hater by any means- but it really does detract from the performance. Love Mickey's strut/dance over to the girls- the man could move! It's such a shame that this is the image the American audience got of Marc and T. Rex...

  • Superb!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • Marc Bolan and T.Rex always brought a lot of energy and excitement to the stage. This is a powerful live performance from almost 40 years ago! Amazing!

  • bloody class still now and am 48 still like him today to rip mark

  • Brilliant Marc FOREVER.

  • at first I thought the guitar in his hands was just for the show

    and then I realized he is actually some player...

  • I have 20 of his c.d.s and 12 of his albums, the "Born To Boogie" movie with bonus concert and I still can't get enough!!! T-Rex 4 - ever!!!!!!

  • breathtaking rock on glo glo

  • Great performance, though 3 tambourines might be a bit too much tambourine.

  • @mcurci

    No, have to disagree,.................i'm gettin' tambourine withdrawal. You just don't get enough of them these days. Wow.this is amazing. Go Gloria and Pat.

  • Hey, nobody complained about needing more cowbell a few years back... ;)

  • Pure class. Best Bolan TV performance ever. Wasted on bloody yanks!

  • 20 odd years ago me and my hubby used to go to Sheffield Lane Top to see the Frank White Band. He decided to take on a couple of 'backing singers'. Didn't work for him and certainly didn't work for Marc!!!!

  • Backing screamers.

  • Tu es partout, nacho del grande, noochie noocheldink!

  • Great vocals, gals, but step away from the tambourine...LOL

  • Damn they were hot! Great clip. Thanks for sharing it!

  • They are deffinitely one best bands live Ive ever heard

  • horrible backing vocals...

  • SUPERB SHOWMAN AND THE GIRLS ARE HAVING FUN TOO! AWESOME!!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • The god of Glamrock at his best!

    Great performance on US TV an much better than the whole shit which runs out in the charts now a days!!!

  • i think a guy who comes out wearing a cape and playing guitar, should play the guitar a lot better than that !!

  • The black girls are awesome! Great guitar work :), Nice reverb.

  • GLAMTASTIC

  • DIG IT!!!!

  • they weren't that good live but no matter what this song is pure bliss.

  • My greatest guiltiest pleasure ever! When I have a shit day I listen to this song and I perk up. The music change in the middle gets me.

  • Fantastic, soooooo good.

  • Prob. the best live version of `Hot Love`

    on vid.

    Tanx for posting.

  • I loved these guys since I was 12 and im 49 and I can't get them out of my soul. I fucking love them

  • T.Rexessive! In the US with the classic original Rex line-up and The Cosmic Choir on backing vox (Sister Pat Hall and The Gloria Jones)! Love it!

  • Bolanand the band rocking out...................FAN BLOODY TASTIC!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • Just my 2p worth... everything that was wrong with T.Rex was totally the boss's fault! Love the man, but boy did he get his own way!

  • Like somebody said, rocknroll and northern soul. LIVE and Just effing brilliant! Didn't they all have a good time, it's clear to see. If you didn't like it then I presume you won't be veiwing it again to refute my comment. All in the great T Rex pantheon.

  • Brilliant fun packed live version!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • There isn't only Gloria on backing vox

  • oh un francais....suis pas tout seul !

  • this is the dogs bollocks fuckin bril

  • Superb!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • who knows what would have become of the great marc bolan if he hadn't had that accident that fatefull morning maybe he would have still been here but hard to tell with all the drugs he did too he was great though

  • Gloria keeps her eyes on her man doesn't she? I don't think I saw her take her stare off Marc for one second. >:(

  • I was noticing that too.

  • @wouldntyoulike2know

    yes but i dont see marc looking at her

  • @pargaluvva hehe exactly my point. lol

  • Outstanding!

  • I love Marc's playful version here....great stuff!

    Delf n kaz x

  • AMAZING PERFORMANCE!

    DELF N KAZ X

  • Woah! I love that afro!! Shame marc never made it bigger in america, probably would have heard some of his songs on american idol when its on.

  • yeah fabbo sad he's dead. god bless marc.

  • Marc's voice got deeper, I really like it like that. :)

  • вери найс

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

    DELF N KAZ X

  • Boy did he blow it! T.rexcessive. Shame was by far the best thing around in the early 70s.

  • The MAIN MAN !

  • love the song, just ruined by Pat's vocals in the background, can hardly hear Marc, nevertheless a classic :)

  • That's great. Marc and Gloria were perfect for each other.

    Marc was too brilliant for this world! Love him

  • How can you say that? She killed him!

  • Great to see Gloria and Pat doing their thang!!! We heard them so many times in the background, but to see them in action like this is a privilage. I wish there were more performances where those backing Marc could be seen and heard! It'd be good to see the Mothers doing their stuff too, however I think they only ever worked with Marc in the studio. Someone please prove me wrong!!!

  • Gloria doesn't take her eyes off him

  • Rock'nRoll and Northern Soul...gotta love it....but yeah..turn it down a bit Pat! :))

  • SUPERB UNTAMED ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!AND FAB FUN!!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • To bad Gloria got to sing on his songs...and with pat here! Terrible!! Marc was on coke here...after Gloria joined he still could play a mean guitar but other wise...not my cuppa..But, nevertheless: Keep a little Marc in your heart!

  • jeepster, great post...

  • brilliant version,great posting..pete

  • Great live version I´d never seen before!!!

    Thanks for charging!!

  • Mickey is NOT on point during this performance...and almost looks kind of corny! I know I may get flack for this...but I can't stand Pat Hall's backing vocals in this...she's screaming over Marc and Gloria...and I want to choke her! lol

  • Great fab performance from Marc, the band and Gloria and Pat!!!!!!! FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!

    Charismatic, full of energy, joy and excitement!!!!!!!!!FAB performance and right on!!!!!

    Sadly there will always be people who will try to undermine Marc's work around this period with Gloria. Some people remain bitter.

    Rejoice in Marc, forget the bitterness.Marc was doing what he loved.

    Delf n Kaz x

  • this is really hot love.

  • Tha'ts the Fabulous Jack Green on the far left dressed in blue!

  • AWESOME PERFORMANCES BY MARC, GLO, PAT AND THE BAND! FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Delf n Kaz x

  • yeah right!......so dave was there was he?

    Delf n Kaz

  • Fantastic exibition!Bolan was an incredible performer!

  • Great performance

  • Marc brought together Rock and Soul... if his GLAM fans don't like that..... GET OVER IT!!!!

  • This is my fav video of Hot Love, and Get It On from the same night is fabulous as well!

  • Marc, Glo, and Pat rock this performance!

  • The "CHARGES" were never brought up. The only "charges" were accusations made by the papers, which weren't supported by facts. Gloria was not over the legal limit of alcohol, and testimonies by the Police Commissioners and Investigators first on the scene proved that the wheel nuts weren't tight, and the tyres were improperly inflated. The car had been taken to the shop and serviced just 3 days prior. The jury ruled "accidental death".. so your accusations after the fact are pretty much SLANDER!

  • WeilderOfWords. She fled the country. Have you got any proof re the wheel nuts and tyres? Don't think so. While she was pursuing her 'career' in America, Marc's parents were looking after Rolan. After the accident, she went back to America, taking Rolan with her and I think it was a long time before Marc's parents saw Rolan again. Nice!!

  • SLANDER!!! She killed him (and she could not sing).

  • My point exactly, the only person i've ever seen with that same opinion!

  • This is classic T.Rex captured as the band expanded and progressed. The spitefull comments? Marc was an intelligent creative beautifull person and if there were more people like that in the world those kind of posts wouldnt exist.
