Marc done more in his short life than a lot of musicians could do in a life time. Very self determined and did actually achieve what he set out to do..
Hi Bryan, his star certainly burnt brightly! I was 13 when Hot Love came out and for me and my friends it was the start of what we could call 'our music'.
Falling off the stage at the end and Bowie just looks and starts laughing, priceless....neither of them here but there contribution to the music world was outstanding..
Even to date, how many were Blessed with a show when experiencing a lull? This Soul was Huge! He 'felt' the Nature with Earth and Heaven. He was an unique Soul, knowing way more than most of us experience in a 'whole' lifetime. He wore makeup (not like Mime) first, He wore satin, velvet and 'boa' around his neck before Sir Elton John, David Bowie, he was The Trend Setter! He knew his time was 'short' and The Heavens did too. He gave us this Series of Shows so we can live with an Eternity of Love from Marc's Heart!
I definitely absolutely love Marc . My idol forever, tragically passed away in 1977, in car accident. Driven by his singer songwriter Gloria. Who’s survived. & his son Rolan always remembering his father Marc . But Rolan is a true musician & singer songwriter Just like his dad. . . 44:14 ❤❤❤. Love from Leanne his fan . Love you. 45:33
It was such a pity that the sound on the Marc shows was so weak. It was the usual for TV shows of the time. Having heard the band play live a few months before this was recorded New York City was mind blowing as was the whole concert.
Marc was my pop idol as a teenager, and has remained part of my life ever since, but his show 'Marc' and his released songs of this period were dier! No comparison to the height of his career, nor that of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Marc became a man obsessed with his own image. So sad.
A real treat when you see the , Marc and David video to the studio recording, it was such an iconic clip, due to strikes in the studio, the fools played with gold and diamond stars, that clip was just used in the Netflix Bowie documentary. The second series was being arrange with Muriel Young again, but just 13 days later , mini Gloria drove , had loose wheel nuts, it clumped a concrete stump and ricocheted into Sycamore tree. David and Marc, were both starting out and met painting there would be managers office, Bowie can be traced doing a Marc voice, very cool speaking voice , as Marc was from a part of London, that never spoke posh , but he did , well my be not a home visiting his mum and dad and brother .
Obsession...I was 12 in 1977 so that makes me old! I can not believe that 'Band A Gong' has been a huge influence (60's Groovy Dancing) like an Austin Powers reality! At 54 I'm 5'5" and slim, Marc too was a small Man with a Big Aura! Billy Idol, Sir Elton John, Ian Mitchell... it goes on and on! They all were on His Show! He is every part of the Movement in Rock and Roll... He influenced every factor with His short stint here on Earth. He was, is The Real Deal. Look at Him! He wanted to be Healthy and he lost weight, became a responsible Father to Rolan and he was Genuine. So sad that 6 days from his final show he left Our Earth. He and David are singing with the Concords of Angels! I am sure that Freddy Mercury too is crooning with them! May Their Legacy influence The Heart Of The World! "Sing me a song that the World can sing along and I'll show you a song that stands for Living; Sing me a song that The World can sing along and I'll show you a song from The Heart!"
Thank you for uploading. This includes the punky version of 'Debora' they played on the Dandy Tour which was surprisingly effective. Compering a show like this isn't really Bolan's thing, though - he was always quite a guarded person and you need to be more open to carry this off. A great memento for his fans, though...
Think people who hate on this need to realise although it wasn’t his best, it was the 2nd chance he needed. Just a fucking shame it never got a chance to progress past this 🤷🏻♂️
Hi! I put the first three episodes up but it picked up a copyright strike....a real shame as they're great! I can remember the respect that the punks had for the glam pioneers, there's a cool photo around of Sid Vicious off to see Bowie.
So true! And they wonder why they can't get any attention from women! LOL! The beards should go, too. I remember when this nightmare began with the 5 o'clock shadow (started by that guy from Wham and Kip Winger) which then turned in two a 2-week-long shadow and then the neckbeard was born. But "pie stuck to their heads" is the right image for this peeled-onion Gumby style the "handsome" men sport these days. LOL! I'm going to use that in the future. :-)
@@wolfpowers36 THANK YOU BOTH for this, I HATE BUZZ crew cuts, I think most guys today look like SKINHEADS. I'm 66 and still look like my profile pic here.
American here, from the Midwest. I turned 8 in the summer of 1977. As for the other musicians and dancers on this show, this is ~on par with what was on the US at the time (fancier costumes in the US, of course, because Hollywood). But as for the hosts, we had the Jackson family, Sonny and Cher, or The Captain and Tennille. Middle-aged Hollywood "joke" writers abounded, though, and our shows were corny af. I like how this is rawer, looser, and more to the point. Less jabber, more tunes! I would've preferred to see someone more like Marc as a kid. American shows that starred pop musicians were... hokier than this by orders of magnitude, Cher excepted. She had charisma to spare. Bowie was on her show, too, in 1976 (and both of them apparently coked to the gills). It's a real shame about Marc. I know of him and T-Rex because of The Violent Femmes, a band from my hometown who covered Children of The Revolution in the 80s. So kind of Bowie to help Rolan as he grew up.
Regarding episodes 1 2 and 3 they probably get taken down because ep 2 contains a 10cc video. 2 other TH-cam channels have that episode up but the 10cc section is silenced and there is an explanation written across the visual. Hope that helps you.
Its a massive shame that marc & Tony Visconti fell out, perhaps Marc would of been with us today instead doing these shows Marc Bolen t rex was so good in the early days with Tony Visconti guid lines just had he done with Marc friend David Bowie. Look where bowie ending up!!@@@@@
Hi! Dancing In The Moonlight starts at 41:02 :-) I've got the first three episodes too but they get an immediate takedown - I'm trying to figure out which song's causing it.
It could be the 10cc video in episode 2 because two other channels have uploaded it but the 10cc portion is silenced and there is an explanation written across the visual. Hope this helps.
Personally, I think these shows were embarrassingly awful, even though Marc has always been my favorite musician ever since I first heard his music in ‘68 when I was 13. I only wish that they would have given him a show befitting his awesome talent. We miss you, Marc. 😢
@ Laurie Janes: What was so embarrasingly awful to you? I think these shows were very good with great groups, music & dancers. of course Marc ❤️ was just fabulous 😀 I loved every minute of it & as you can see the audience obviously loved it too! 😂
It was daytime, after school tv with a low budget. I understand you are a true fan, though, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. He was great and those early years with visconti were golden.
77 was an important year. John Peel was ambiguous of the abbreviated T Rex, and U.K. punk 'happened' via Melody Maker. Don't flirt with Tony Visconti or heroin. Trust.
Herbie Flowers is a great musician, and seems to be a thoroughly nice chap, but he is not remotely glam at all. He's so incongruous standing behind the vision in satin that is Marc.
Wow there is some truly shit music on these shows. Rosetta Stone? Fuck off. Always good to be reminded that is wasn't all Dancing In The Moonlight and Quark Strangeness and Charm back then. Still, it's much better than that one episode of Lift Off with Ayshea with the Bay City Rollers that's been around on youtube recently, that really was shocking.
Some of Marc’s songs are ok but all that posing and posturing looks bloody awful . He was way past his best when he did this series and on the slide commercially....
You could also see it as the start of some kind of comeback, and it was nice to see the affection that the punks who'd grown up watching Top Of The Pops had for Marc.
I love it!! I think that it's fabulous and outrageous. Some of us like that! I was a little girl when T Rex/Marc Bolan were around. Made childhood a lot more fun and interesting! That man opened the doors for many and helped usher in the up and coming punk movement. Love you, Marc!! RIP
Me too.....T. Rex was the first band that felt like 'ours', and it was really exciting waiting for Top Of The Pops whenever Marc had a new single out. We also had two rival factions at school, T. Rex or Slade...….I guess the girls had David or Donny, my wife still loves purple because of Donny's shirt!
It’s easy to see that Marc was enjoying his life again. He looked fit and in good form, a new album, and things were looking up. If only he could’ve kept going.
Bolan was never any great shakes as a guitar player, it was just a prop really, to pose with; a bit like Alvin Stardust who was the first to admit his stage persona was a complete fraud but was happy to enjoy the fame & fortune while it lasted.
Marc knew how to work that camera!
Marc done more in his short life than a lot of musicians could do in a life time. Very self determined and did actually achieve what he set out to do..
Hi Bryan, his star certainly burnt brightly! I was 13 when Hot Love came out and for me and my friends it was the start of what we could call 'our music'.
@@TopCatOadby That was exactly it - for anyone who grew up listening to their older siblings' record collections, Bolan was our man...
And sadly ended up being a one trick pony sad especially what went before it became cliched and bland tedious and embarrassing
@@andrewjohnstone963 it's not your fault Andrew ...it's not your fault :)
Falling off the stage at the end and Bowie just looks and starts laughing, priceless....neither of them here but there contribution to the music world was outstanding..
summer in heaven at 77 such a showman always remembered and adored by fans.
Marc was so purdy❤

Yeah, Marc Bolan was a real rock star, showman ! Exelent result ! Better than enybody else. I love this ! - john coolman
Rosetta Stone! That got me into Cream as a 12 year old. I had to order the single I seem to remember as no shops in Tunbridge Wells stocked it.
KEEP A LITTLE MARC IN YOUR HEART ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Radio Stars.....now there's a real blast from the past.
13 days later Marc , left us, one more clip was Paul, and roger with Marc on Sally James
Worst choreography going but when it’s Marc’s show, you don’t care because he’s 💕💕 the best.
I definitely absolutely love Marc . My idol forever, tragically passed away in 1977, in car accident. Driven by his singer songwriter Gloria. Who’s survived. & his son Rolan always remembering his father Marc . But Rolan is a true musician & singer songwriter Just like his dad.

Very good selection of artists. One of the only old rockers to welcome punk with open arms .
John Lennon said Wire was his favorite post punk band

ill love maec always
41:02 Dancing in the Moonlight
29:10 Get On!! Hurriganes Finnish Supertrio.
I thought the show "MARC3 add each week aninterview segment where Marc chat up a guest? This video does not show Marc doing any interviews.
❤️
Were Thin Lizzy on an episode too? I watched most of them and can’t find them. Great upload. Thanks

Different set. They just showed their video
This is proof Marc outshone them all. He was also a great underrated lead guitar player.
ROG!!!!!!

Good joke about Roger Meddows-Taylor... who could've predicted he would write Radio Ga Ga one day?
77 was an important year. John Peel was ambiguous of the abbreviated T Rex, and U.K. punk 'happened' via Melody Maker. Don't flirt with Tony Visconti or heroin. Trust.
Did you ever see a woman coming out of New York City with a frog in her hair..... ( New York City - T.Rex)
I thought the frog was in her hand & she was going to take it home to make fried frog legs?

意味不明なダンス💥4:00
07:09 fucks sake he looks like George Harrison
Strange and bizarre to say the least totally not T-Rex
Good lord. No wonder punk happened. 😄
You can see the UK was crying out for the Pistols to come along for sure!
A lot of attitude with these young musicans but not a lot of musical talent. Marc was the only drawcard. Except for David Bowie and Thin Lizzy.
Wow there is some truly shit music on these shows. Rosetta Stone? Fuck off. Always good to be reminded that is wasn't all Dancing In The Moonlight and Quark Strangeness and Charm back then. Still, it's much better than that one episode of Lift Off with Ayshea with the Bay City Rollers that's been around on youtube recently, that really was shocking.
and david bowie
it WAS APALING what he became cheap musicians & a vessel 4 Bowie to feed on

Bof!
He was a great performer but later songs were rubbish.
Marc Bolan doesn't hold a candle to Lou Gramm of Foreigner. Lou's singing voice and vocal range was powerful.
I fail to see the connection here.
You are so wrong. Whole different concept you are not getting
Foreigner is also a great band, but why would Marc ❤️ be holding a candle to Lou Gramm anyways? 😂
All this crap and ... Bowie
Frog song....utter, utter SHITE! Bolan...thin, pale looks bloody ill.
