Early footage of the band performing Jewel with typical psychedelic effects of the time. Steve Currie was a damn good bass player. This is either late 1970 or early 1971. I do not know where this footage emanates from (French or German TV perhaps?). I have transferred this from a 'bargain basement' video released in 1986.

  • Second rate guitarist eh? I've been playing guitar for 25 years, god only knows how he got that sound. I've tried to replicate it but to no avail. Make no mistake Marc was a technically brilliant guitarist. And how long had he been playing properly, 4 years? Amazing

  • Listen to that solo! I used to dance around to the room to this video when I was a kid. It was a fan club video with a voiceover from Adam Ant. I had to stop watching this though when my stepmum told me that Bolan had been decapitated in the car crash and I started having nightmares.

  • @nicforte No not beard of stars, T.rex the self title lp of the first under the banner " " december 1970

  • @blackdanter

    No, no , nooo - no! The Jewel is from the "T.REX" - album recorded in 1970 (the brown album) and it was the second song from the beginning. "A Beard Of Stars" was released before this, somewhere year 1969 I believe. An another amazing album, that's for sure!

  • since the age of 7- 1991 I have always thought that Marc was majik, I think that this is proof of that

  • @bolanbabe Oi mucky mouth x
