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

[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.

Majestic! Thanks for posting.

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! :]

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

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....

@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.

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

[LinuxGeeksRock]

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!

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.
