@mickleem Look closely at Marc he isn't actually singing or playing his guitar, look closely at Steve currie neither is he, look closely at Michey Finn blah blah blah. look closely at your comment, why did you make it?

[thegeezerdan]

Look at the state of music nowadays compared to this.

[TheBelly58]

Aww, all those girls dancing will be in their late fifties/early sixties now...Still, they can look at this vid and think 'Didn't we look fekkin great!' :)

[matrixsenior]

[lindabriers]

I was only 12 when this song hit number one, I remeber all the girls at school were totally obsessed with Marc Bolan and when he died, there were girls weeping everywhere, so gifted and so tragic

[zedster911]

Birth of glam rock, one of the most important genres in music history.

[60adl]

Great to get this up - thanks brekkaboys. Marc performed braw must have been hard tho'. Think Steve Took looked well smacked out tho'poor sod. Wasn't that Mickey Finn miming the drums tho,. Fking chancer!

Oh well Marc will live forever, Steve will too, and Mickey Finn....think not.

[brushuk]

[spikeman14]

Semi live. Thats not Will Legend on the drums and the guy who is on them (mickey finn?) is certainly not hitting them!

[stevecowdry]

This makes me proud to be a glam-rock lover!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Man, those chicks couldn't dance.

But Marc looks so cute in his sailor outfit!

[billypopali]

Bolan playing a telecaster?! this is nuts!

[KISSbestfan]

Yeah, Mickey Finn does the playback great xP

Just kidding. He was really great drummer and bongo player. Wish I could be as nice as him someday ...

[kietlennon]

The guy who playing bass is Steve Currie, right ?

[kietlennon]

LOVE YOU FOREVER, MARC BOLAN!!!!

[elvengadorcerocho]

[jroo3017]

Thanks for sharing this with Marc's old and NEW fans- 45,000+ views 3 decades after his death shows exactly what kinda star Marc was and is...absolutely amazing.

[viewson800]

I remember watching this actual totp, I was 9 years old then.... scary how time passes so fast. I think he's brilliant and would have been an epic if he had lived.

[agentX345]

he was the king of sexy and extremely gifted to boot....been gone a long time but his music still turns me on...

[MannaMachine69]

Just superb.

[tdartista48]

Absolutely beautiful song!!!!!!

[lilianamaya]

Nice song! I like a lot

[xxfocusstxx]

im sure i shouldve been born in the 70s maybe 60s coz i love thsi kinda music n 80s altho i was born in 1990 but really i like most music

[BluesectorA]

T. Rex was good

[xxfocusstxx]

he was hot

[DAVWAVE]

I wonder where Bill Legend was. It was Mickey mimiing on drums. He might have been ill.

[TheSonicmule]

i'd rather hear the les paul crankin than this.this sounds like a western wrapped in satin sheets

[MrTinlizzy]

he would look cool even now,

[68blondi]

So genial!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stunning!

[8757kathy]

at lst a clip from the great bolan usually warner takes it off the wnkers

[vordman]

For about 3 years in the 70s Bolan was in the groove, classic single followed classic single.

[Angusismyhero]

I dare ANYONE to listen to this and not dance. At least just a little bit.

[FayteKnightmare]

An all time favourite!

[sparkle935]

was no 1 for months, he was bigger than anyone at the time, sadly missed

[cretan982]

@sparkle935 Bigger than anyone yeh. In fact he accounted for about 30% of all record sales in the UK during his glory days.

[tewinboy]

is the lead singer Michael Crawford?

[xxfocusstxx]

na marc bolan

[beeflin]

I think this was recorded in the BBC studio with the BBC's orchestra... nice arrangement & sound eh?

[kimukusa]

LOVED Marc Bolan LOVED the 70s

[matsui2001]

Sadly Marc is no longer with us, But he can be seen again thanks to the camera that filmed this.

So a BIG THANK YOU EMI-2001 Camera for filming this for us to view forever.

[nouveauxdecadence]

THis track KIX ASS big time, I LOOOOOOVE it to DEATH!

70s Glam Rock is just so magical and fun +

[Adrianspage1]

This is so cool...Marc was and still is the legend of Cosmic Lyrics.

Peace ♥

[glamfakir]

Thanks for posting this.

It brings back so many happy memories.

Some of the 6 weeks while the band were at number one TOTP showed a video instead. The band were doing a national tour and couldn't always get to London for the show.

[moewishaw]

TOTP was never ever ever ever live!!!! All songs were lip synced

[forestgumpaed]

forestgumpaed....they appeared in person,this is why people mis-interpretated the meaning of live,on to the song(one of many).yet another huge hit for the mighty t.rex.they had a tremendous following.great song at the time,but seems dated now.

[davidsan01]

Looks like a young Lemmy on Bass!

[1starryeyedkid]

marc looks so young n gorgeous!

[pegleyjr]

Superb stuff.

[Glamking1]

IIRC March 25th 1971. The other T.Rex performance was from the 11th of March 1971 - that one is shown from the ZDF archive - this one is from the BBC archive and but it kept Lynn Anderson from number one at this period.

[electricslims]

Mickey looks a little uncomfortable on the drum kit, oh well at least he's not pretending to play the bass on this one.

[Sparne91]

Live? :)

[BrekkaBoys]

YEP LIVE AT TOP OF THE POPS

[kiely]

yeah, right ... look at the footage. they are short on a few instruments for this to actually be live.

[oatstao]

@BrekkaBoys wellll..i Don't see the string section ;) thanks for sharing!

[BolanBarlow1]

@Sparne91 U can tell wen Marcs not live he was the worlds worst mimer lol x
