T-Rex - I Love To Boogie (HQ) |TOTP 17-06-1976|

[stupidfuckers]

Is that John Entwhistle playing bass??

[alanlovedog]

he's dressed in a remarkably tame fashion 

[rockpig63]

God he was good

[consul1957]

Marc looks a little stoned bless him!

[sedalbnayr]

loving his velvet jacket :)

[pdorn777]

Love Marc's tie!!

[theachtungtree]

4 years before this t rex vs the spiders....some people thought that Mark was a better musician than David....Proof that David is the better artist? 1976...He was beginning the recording of "low" and producing Iggy Pop's dreamy sarcastic masterpiece the idiot while Bolan was doing the same reharshed boogie once again....Bowie owns...genious

[BundyBastards]

@theachtungtree

Of course Marc was still playing this song, he only just released it.

[basqu01]

Johnny Depp could do a film as marc of his story, make mills.

[thornysubject]

@basqu01 i sent a mac bolan clip  (nterview with russell harty) to my sister and she expressed similar sentiments. she said "why does he remind me of johnny depp"..maybe its their soft,shy-like mannerisms.?

[alanmeires]

@basqu01 would be cool..dont think it would happen because i dont think thay no who owns the rights to hes astate hes son gets fuck all from hes record sells to this day he sign it all over to hes managers in hes hay day ...druged up didnt no what he was doing i surpose...but the movie would be cool to watch

[1950boots]

I remember this! God I feel old! Music is still great!

[MrJeepsters]

Il jouait dans une autre catégorie.

S'il n'avait pas eu cet accident, il aurait ressorti de grands disques.

[expatbritingermany]

I don't remember Marc Bolan with that hairstyle. And I think I only know this song from the film 'Billy Elliot'.

[MeatTycoonDevious]

Just good old balls-to-the-wall 50's-style rock and roll. Kickass.

[berzeocc]

He looks like Ted Bundy.

[No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1]

shouldnt have cut his hair! but after this everyone did

[eagdra1955]

MARC BOLAN was the no1 idol of his era for many teenager.

[kirkwallboy]

Critically he was a spent force by 1974. He still came up withe goods though. His final album, Dandy in the Underworld, made the Top 30, and the Damned supported him in early 1977. He had his own TV show in autumn 1977, he had a young son, a perfect lady partner. And then, as happens in life. Bang. It was all gone. His music is here forever though.

[edmame]

@kirkwallboy did glam die or just absorbed into other forms? bolan's energy here feels like late period elvis.

[No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1]

@edmame agreed, but he put on a lot of weight and had hit coke and food

[atzengruber]

@kirkwallboy

Your absolutely right there.I would even say that TANX was his last really great work in 1973 and he was a spent force from then on, mostly because he couldn't cope with waning fame due to his ego.His fatal decision to split not only with his wife but also long time friend and producer Tony Visconti got him to the point where he sold his soul just to hang on to sucess. For me the things he did after '73 where just pathetic and embarrasing for a talent like him.

[pargaluvva]

Love you!? Gxxxxx



[richmondox]

danced to this over and over when my daughter was born in 2003, loved it in the 70s, love it still

[flaxonx3]

You can tell he was aware here of the emerging punk scene, there's a back to basics feel about it like he'd been listening to Dr Feelgood & the younger groups of the time.

[jayrox40]

Love this version!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oliver2244]

oh come on its so slowly oh boy

[banknock15]

This is bad...really!

[ellycat]

A live version on TOTP. Wow!!

[cunningsophie]

@ellycat wow what a talent!;-)

[stophiemeister]

@cunningsophie Love it :D btw i'm a sophie too ;)

[spiderpunk100]

@ellycat yeh, i was shocked too!

[ellycat]

@spiderpunk100 I know. Brilliant :)

[BillyStacksaMates]

@ellL. Poor bloke is dead! Really bad news. If he was still around think how much better the music could be. Today's is total shit. How many will still be remembered in 30 years time. NONE OF THEM. They are all effing wankers today.

[Mr1969chris]

the king of glam
