I was the Stage Manager on this show in the theatre - it was chaos as i couldn't hear the TV director Mike Mansfield in my talkback so I busked the entire show with another SM, and hoped for the best. Princess Margaret spent most of the show in the royal retiring room behind her box sipping G & T's....Heady days
Rip john miles. Passes away two days ago. Thanks for the music
I don't remember seeing this but I must have as I was obsessed with Supersonic and Joanna Lumley and that Christmas one of my presents was a TV Times special magazine about the New Avengers. I always loved seeing Twiggy on Supersonic, I think she looked nervous here and missed the second verse by repeating the first but she had a great voice and was stunning, oh the 70's!
Great days hey..!! take me back i say.... 😁
@@vjmusic. Me too!
TBH, she didn't really have a strong voice.
Drinking some wine listening to the music of my youth 🎉😢😊 sad and happy at the same time ❤
OH Yeah brilliant showman ☹☹
@@kevinbeck6785 Glitter? He's a washed-up, end of the pier act here.
Great to hear everyone actually singing live.
Great memories for me..I was up in the gods for this and felt like a sheer drop looking down on the stage. and the 'fans 'chant off' between Glitter and Bolan fans before the show! .Have to say most of the acts where pop fodder with only a few shining through..Marc Bolan was the star of the show for me (even though the hot lights made guitars go out of tune) ..lovely memories ;-)
Yes Marc was Rexcellent... Bolan forever the best star 🌟 there was and still no competition till this day 1st December 2022 KALMIYH
By now, they were all washed-up, mediocre has-beens, bloody awful,...surely they realised?
Blimey, John Miles wearing an ear stud...unheard of then...30 years ahead of his time.
Surprised this hasn't been removed because of Gary Glitter - but long live the 'master' - Mike Mansfield.
Twiggy singing "Angie Baby" , wow that sounds like the original !, very good.(well a couple of duff higher notes, they were always Twiggy's weakness)
I Loved this show back in the 70's. 🖕🖕
Brilliant to watch and Glitter the ultimate showman at the time, after that very very sad 😠😠
All of it was typical of that era, mainly mediocre dross,....then came punk.
@@Bimmeroo090-cl5cz Punk was on different level to any music then and even know nothing gets close to the punk era
@@kevinbeck6785 Agreed, punk was vital to blast away all that pop dross clogging up the charts 1975/6.
@@Bimmeroo090-cl5cz seen so many of the punk bands music changed forever
@@kevinbeck6785 To me Blitz were the best, brilliant LP,,,''Voice Of A Generation''. Nidge on lead guitar, just brilliant, stood out because he was so original and distinctive. Also the incredible ''All Out Attack'' EP.
Supersonic...a Pound Shop/Poundland/Budget pop show.
I was there, only to see Guys n Dolls, but shame Gary Glitter was the headline act,would have been good for the other bands to do at least 2 songs. Glad I found this though.
Understand what you are saying but Gary Glitter was the biggest name at the time
@@kevinbeck6785 In truth, he was a spent force just like the other acts here, pretty much washed up,
..no hits any of them for at least two years...just look at the Glitter Band, a very tame pop outfit.
The G Band formerly the "Glitter Band" they have since lost Gerry Shepard who did joint
vocals with John Springate, who sang lead on this song, and Harvey Ellison who was
on Saxophone. I was 18 when this came out, and although I gave away the old LP's.
I have since managed to find a box set of their albums.
Gary Glitter and The G Spot Band. Great days.
Aww that was sweet ❤️💜
Que saudades Tina...
Tina Charles is still alive
Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for another brill video, thoroughly enjoyable, GG'S the ultimate showman, and touched my heart when he was emotional.. And of course paul, "Take's All Night " you made forever special for me 😘 Gary looking so heartstoppingly handsome... mmm.."oh what a kiss " Love you Luscious Leader xx 💋 🥰 ❤
So sad it all went wrong
Gary glitter was a brilliant artist.. I wish things woulda ended different for him..
OMG! I'm crying with laughter....''Love you Luscious Leader xx''' ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Creased me up!
In truth, by now, he was a washed-up has been, end of the pier act living on past memories.
@@Bimmeroo090-cl5czseems like you went through every single comment, saying "he was a washed up has been" or "this was all pop dross". Really trying hard to make a point!
so sad some have gone
Gary Glitter, sempre Gary Glitter, o melhor do Glan Rock.
GG makes liberace look like a badass.
I'm sure Marc must have thought it should have been him headlining.
During this period GG was in his first retirement, believe it or not
and Marc actually told Gary that he thinks it best if he closed the show, so Gary took him up on his kind offer. Rip Marc x
Sadly, Marc was past his best, in the doldrums for a good two years or so.
@@Bimmeroo090-cl5czthe last two T.Rex albums in 1976 and 1977 are actually pretty good.
Whatever Happened to John Miles? I have a couple of his albums, but it seemed to be a
G G Show, and he can't sing Live. Has anyone heard that "Remember me This Way" lp it was
chronic.
Vast bulk of the pop charts of 1975/1976 were total dross as you see here, mediocre rubbish.
Omg garys backing band/singers were awful l bet the glitter band had a good laugh.
Gary Glitter which sounds very much like a Stylophone backing OUCH!!
At least he was slimmer than previously but otherwise, he'd had his day, another washed-up has been.
Glitter Band were poor, a lightweight pop band not dynamic as they used to be.
The year I passed 3 A level exams but it has to be said 1976 rates as the poorest year of pop/rock music ever.
As you see here, it's very tame and bland, more family light entertainment, nothing creative at all.
In truth, every act here had faded from their peak, almost waiting to be put out of their misery.
1/ Glitter Band almost like a light pop act.
2/ Bolan, a pale shadow of his former self, a spent force, his band here nothing like the original line up. The ''Frog'' song sums up his
fall from grace, treading water, no longer dynamic, he'd lost his way. Only positive, he looks much healthier than before.
3/ Glitter cutting a somewhat slimmer figure but that's the only positive, otherwise he resembles a music hall act relying on old
hits, literally dying on his feet, tired and relying on the past. Mysteriously, he was given far too much show time here. Very odd.
You really do wonder what the point of this show was actually about. It was utterly naff.
For all involved here, they must surely have realised that they were churning out absolute dross and mediocrity.
By now, however, were the first stirrings of punk which blasted away the old cobwebs, much more dynamic, creative and inventive.
There you go again.
Though I agree with you, punk and new wave had already broken and was round the corner charts-wise, 1977 was a big year.
This is the crossover year. Slade and Sweet had long since moved on, Marc Bolan was looking for a new direction - he did embrace The Damned and may have gone on to be a producer, who knows. Gary Glitter was past his heyday and Bay City Rollers though not on this show, were the end of this period.
I'm amazed everyone was still wearing glam/glitter this late, though I suppose Abba were also doing it for a while, plus disco artists. Glam Rock was long gone.
Having said all that watching TOTP through 1977-1979 still has a lot of mush and lightweight acts.
29:00 says it al really
i had to look at 29 minutes and it was everyone's favorite peddo talking about how he is there for the kids. owww.
I now have more video evidence of why 1976 was the worst year for rock 'n' roll EVER...
So much abysmal dross and mediocrity.
