Marc Bolan \ Children Of The Revolution \ Elton John & Ringo Starr

[pch058]

Who noticed Mr Bean on the bongos?

[radted411]

@pch058 Ever see "Born to Boogie"? He was Mr. Bolan's "bongoist?", that guy is one strange motherfucker. But he can RIIIIIPPPPPP.

[Chrystalvase]

Wow awesome I could listen to Elton bump and grind that piano all day

[16Nih]

I get myself crazy with this song. I love it!

[mariacri22]

Elton is amazing!!!!!!!!

[reginaldk6522]

Elton kills it on piano, but what else is new......?

[allanfries76]

Awesome video man! Brings back some grand memories!!

[stammerc4]

Meu caralho.

[fedya60]

старки с камерой)))

[RockNEHouseNHipHop]

Bolan and Elton? I must be dreaming! Did he do more than this and Tutti Frutti?

[howardsinclair]

Great video. And the bass player's using a Hayman (or possibly Shergold) bass!

[antonyj84]

what could have been???

[MistrzAlbert]

Elton's rocking on the piano! This is it!

[manachoooo]

the bongo playyer looks like rowan atkinson at 1:34

[radwallner1994]

@manachoooo when I first watched this I found that he looks very much like a monkey.... but that's no insult!!

[marcelpascottoable]

@radwallner1994 HAHAHA!!!!! yeah! "The Jungle Book"!!! with special guest "Baloo StarRR!!! LOL!!! ...no insult too! one of the best JAMs ever!!!

[radwallner1994]

@marcelpascottoable right!!! haha :) love that song too, one of my favourites! <3

[DAVWAVE]

Bill Legend may be the most under-rated drummer that I can think of.

[experienceadvertisin]

I drive a Rolls Royce because its good for my voice...brilliant! Rock it out!

[SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

Those are the same drums from the Apple Corps rooftop :D

[musoshi]

This film was made purely so Marc Bolan could act crazy, play music and wear as many insane outfits as he could find. Having said that I am so glad this film was made and that Elton John and Ringo Starr were involved.

Makes it all the sweeter.

[Jethrofinger]

This is the version I heard first. I'm 19, a younger fan. Got the Born to Boogie DVD when it came out in 2005. I asked my grandparents to look for it in the UK (they auction things off and go to the UK often), thinking it would never be release in the USA. They found it but they were told it wouldn't play here. Much to my surprise, I saw it on Amazon and they got it for me. T. Rex should've been bigger here in the US! I prefer this version over the single that was released.

[TheDudeMinds89]

Ringo has a serious party in the back.

[thedriftmc]

Ringo's a solid drummer. Always thought Keith Moon was fantastic, too.

[ItGirl666]

One of the coolest damn things I have found on YouTube for many a moon! I loved seeing Elton John before he became the celebrity weirdo he is today....back when he was a kick ass musician. Thanks for posting.

[tommycassII]

this was when Ringo was at the top of his game as far as drumming the dummy should have joined a band ummmmmm, like T-rex for instance, instead he wanted to stand out front singing , these guys tgt could have been a kick ass band, hell they could still do solo records

[TheSquawlady]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOL

[1familyjules]

Freaky good!

[eighthjake]

lol woah check out charlie sheen on congas at 2:27

[DonBoby]

@eighthjake haha ha! TIGER BLOOD

[stophiemeister]

@eighthjake lol yeah they're pretty alike XD

[slimshady22248202]

Rock at its greatest!!!!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Thank God this performance was recorded and preserved. It's one of the best versions of COTR, and oh wait, is Elton John wearing normal clothes in the 70s?!?!? O_o

[MrPot8toe]

This performance of Ringo says it all! So...anybody out there who says that P.B. is still the better drummer out there?

[dbvalentine]

Wow what a HOT version? A solid workout by Marc & Elton (& Ringo + mullet). I advise u all NOT to watch the painful version Elton did with the lame Peter Doherty a few years ago.

[2bsom1]

im not AN ELTON JOHN FAN BUT HES AWESOME IN THIS

[OptimismFutureBlues]

1:33 - Wee!

[ClubViking63]

@OptimismFutureBlues What! This is Mickey Finn!

[GreatDestructo]

@seeyam100 Well that would explain the wierdness of the video but still 5 stars from me because the song itself is awesome.

[seeyam100]

great song and video.they were also so coked out.it still rocks!

[trottet]

ed shaughnessy, buddy rich, neil peart, keith moon..............yea ringo was average at best. speaking of Best, add him to the list of good drummers too.

[Xmenfan246]

@trottet Average at best? Listen to Strawberry Fields, A Day In The Life, Come Together, Rain, She Said She Said, Abbey Road medley, etc. Ringo was a great and highly influential drummer. A master of subtlety. Being flashy doesn't make you better.

[Mortslake]

@Xmenfan246 less is sometimes more , for sure!

[MrBronxbomber81]

Marc Bolan was a god damn genius. His sound just cuts right to your soul. He was taken from this world much too soon.

[qualqui]

Ringo Starr, Elton John i'm familiar with but Marc Bolan,...hoooboy,....my se utah hillbilly roots are kickin' in, i heard of Sweet but Marc Bolan, wow, this guy's a TOTAL SENSATION,...thumbs up to ya SameMarcChannel and thankin' ya for another GREAT share! = )

[slawek033]

this melody really has wonderful message, just briliant sound of Love

[nellytheninkynonk]

You don't get cool like this nowadays.

[randybullcow]

Apparently there were more songs recorded in this jam session.According to what I've read besides Little Richard's Tutti Fruitti and T.Rex's Children Of The Revolution,there was a version of T.Rex's The Slider and Little Richard's Long Tall Sally recorded too.

[bigh560]

I am surprised there been so few hits on this they're real rock inventors here

[guitarlawyer75]

Simply amazing!!!

[unchatbar]

Today, 32 years ago Marc Bolan died at the age of 30 years in a road accident... I´ll never forget you...

R.I.P Marc

[BowieBolanLuv]

This video floors me every time I see it! Classic!

[ShoeiBoy]

@BowieBolanLuv

Word.

I just saw it for the first time & am floored too.

[lodzoppolin]

one of the most influential performers in rock music, check out electric warrior. one of the ground breaking rock albums of all time, it had everything ?

[bebbitoo]

@slawek033 u are complety right

[vintagezigg]

@slawek033 Are all 12 people that agreed with that absurd comment your family and friends. Bolan was a fine musician but give me a break ! Besides they're so different. I also like this video and will continue with a perfect score. #106

[vzlanod]

A solid peformance. Who said that Ringo was a mediocue drummer?

[ShoeiBoy]

@vzlanod

The same people who don't rate Charlie Watts.

That is to say, people who don't know what they are talking about.

[Xmenfan246]

@vzlanod Answer: Ignorant people who haven't listened to his amazing and innovative drumming in albums like Revolver, Sgt Peppers, The White Album, Abbey Road, etc.

[eltonator]

@Xmenfan246 Don't forget that Ringo referred to himself as "your average off-beat drummer with funny fills", however his "funny fills" are probably some of the most recognisable drum fills in history, and have been an inspiration for people such as the late, great Mitch Mitchell, Liberty DeVitto from Billy Joel's band, Dave Grohl and myself. I have instructed my drummer to make sure there are several 'Ringo-style' fills in my songs.

[MadJohnEscapes]

@vzlanod

only fools say that.

or people who dont know jack about drumming.

but that was a rhetorical question, eh? :)

[MoreBarn71]

@vzlanod Pete Best

[stevoh11182]

@vzlanod Ringo was great at drums which is the opposite of you are ________ at spelling.

[fsnap]

@vzlanod John Lennon
