@@KathyLuluandDonna Check out Slade, "The British Hit Singles & Albums names them the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one"
It was called "Get It On" in the UK but there was an American record out at the same time. I think Marc's wife Gloria Jones is one of the backing singers. She wrote the classic "Tainted Love" that Marc Almond of Soft Cell covered as a tribute. Marc was Bowie's idol back in the London Mod scene. He had a crazy hippy period as Tyrannosaurus Rex then re-invented as a wild glamrock band T Rex. He was great. To add an earlier band Johns Children were kicked off a The Who tour for being too wild on stage.
Lol y'all went total "Giggle chicks" with this one.. Yup "Marc Bolan" Was for sure on the unique end of the Rock music spectrum; at the time. He kicked a lot of doors open for other up coming musicians. Dude is still widely appreciated to this day. An awesome Singer Guitar player & Showman ... RIP Marc; you are missed.
Again, a fantastic reaction, ladies Another great hit from T. Rex was "Telegram Sam". One of the first records I owned. Marc Bolan was an absolute original.
I am always glad, if you are so happy when listening to the proposed songs. Thanks a lot for your reaction. And it's not just this one, but I enjoy your whole channel content very much! 👍🌹
The vibe from the late 60s to the mid 70s was purely magical. Just from 73 & 74 you had music like this, and Brother Louie, Black Betty. If you notice the background singers belting out and adding so much, there was "Take a Walk on The Wild Side and the now controversial "And the coloured girls go.. shoop de shoop" and people were happy. Cars with actual engines and styling, amazing movies unrestrained by censorship, and genuine love between people and even races. We were free, and happy, and could love who we wanted. Then came the oil crisis, and then disco, and disco begat the 80s and the censorial "moral majority" and then the worship of unrestrained capitalistic greed (for the few). Then literally everyone forgot how to make god songs, and good movies were banned, and then "devices" became the new pagan God. How far we have fallen, but we still have the cherished old pile of albums and 45s (please explain to Lulu lol) to remind us that once, here in this little blue planet paradise, we could love and we could listen, and we could dance together.
The Best line up 71 to 73 didn't they rock the joint? That was the famous Gloria Jones who become the mother of Marc's child Rolan, the other one is Marsha Hunt another 60s Legend. Mickey Finn was on bongos, that was the best T.Rex line up during those years. Steve Currie was the bass man and Bill Legend on Drums. That T.Shirt Mickey is wearing I am wearing that right now as I type this. My daughter is a printer and she made me a copy of that. Aye we kinda freaked out in our glam rock gear back then it was a lot of fun too. The extra guitarist who joined in 73 was Jack Green he was only in the band for a short while.
The Power Station(Robert Palmer, John Taylor, Andy Taylor, and Tony Thompson) recorded a cover version of this in 1985. You should check that out, too.
That was the best live performance I've heard and seen. The album was called electric warrior with the awesome front cover of bolan posing in front of his Marshall stack amp
Checkout their hit . . . . Ride a White Swan . . . They have had many hits . . . Donna the way you were jumpin round i thought there were bees after you . . Lol . . You rocker you . . . Looked like a bull-whip to me Kathy . . 💐💐💐👋🇳🇿🍻
Marc Bolan and T Rex . Heart of the glam rock era . In fact one of the pioneers .....Tragicly Marc died in a car crash . ... He was 29 when he died. . rip. . . Great song . Great band . . Great era .... Awesome reaction ladys. . New home?? . Take care till next time ladys . . . Bye from NZ💐💐💐👋🇳🇿🍻twa
You got it right Donna. Marc Bolan and T Rex made us all happy in the 70s, and he still does. And did you see where Oasis got their "Cigarettes and Alcohol " from?
Rex were a British rock band. They were formed in London in 1967 as Tyrannosaurus Rex and changed their name to T. Rex in 1970.T. Rex vastly influenced several genres over several decades including glam rock ...The drums are the conga drums.The bongos consist of two small conical drums that are attached to one another by a wooden block or metal bridge. Cheers and stay safe.
T.Rex was one of the first Glam Rock Artists. Also had great music like Jeepster, Cosmic Dancer, Metal Guru,, The slider, 20th Century Boy, Telegram Sam all good songs
I think the lady with the Afro was Gloria Jones-the original singer of Tainted Love. She was driving the car in 1977 when she ploughed into a tree killing Bolan, just before he would have turned 30. They had a young son together. T Rex were second only to Slade as the biggest band here in the UK in the 1970's-though this was their only US top ten hit.

T- Rex had many hits in the 70s in the UK...in fact the very first single I bought was T-Rex, Teenage Dream! Marc Bolan was an incredible talent and another "what if" musician. He was killed in a car crash at the age of 29...the Mini 1275GT driven by his partner Gloria Jones, veered off the road on Barnes Common, hitting a fence then a tree. Both had been drinking. Marc was killed instantly and Gloria was badly hurt. Marc had never learned to drive having had a premonition he would die in a car crash!
So glad you did the original with T. Rex. Check out the studio cut also. There was a cover by The Power House which was a valent effort, but it just wasn't up to snuff, especially using too many 80's synth and electronic gadgets.
T. Rex were a massive band through the seventies, i was lucky to have seen them live, check out their albums, start with Electric Warrior and The Slider. Before T Rex Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn were members of Bolans band Tyrannosaurous Rex, an acustic folk band and before that Johns Children was Bolans first band. They have an interesting story.
I believe songs *Bang A Gong* and *Johnny B Good* are the two most covered or performed by every known rock group. Also my favourite video version of T. Rex's Get it On.
Two things proven: you three are the best AND that old music was the best ever - before or since. I love the gent (dad?) going in and out. That generation, as mum knows, was the best. The clothes, the hair, the confidence. You know why? We were raised in the fifties and early sixties. No helicoptering. We walked to school. We stayed out all day in the summer, coming home only for lunch and dinner. So we were confident and walked around like we owned the place. Couldn’t wait to get out of the home and get a car. Today’s youth could take a page or two out of our book. Right mum? You three rock!
There’s another video version of this song I’ve often seen, from England’s “Top of the Pops” show, that features Elton John on piano. I say “features”-not sure how much, if any, piano sound he really contributes to the performance. I guess he simply was also a guest on that particular episode and sat in. Also, pretty sure that episode is just a lip-sync to the studio version of the song, not the live one you reviewed here. For what it’s worth. Also, as others have noted, the Robert Palmer/Duran Duran (two members)/Chic (drummer Tony Thompson) group called The Power Station covered this song in the mid-1980s-it’s worth a listen. I continue to enjoy your videos. Thanks for the content. 🙂
From what I've read, Elton and Marc were friends and Marc asked him to sit in. It was Top of the Pops and Elton just had to "mime" playing as they used the studio audio.
Ladies, you must hear the version by The Power Station! Andy and John Taylor from Duran Duran, legendary drummer Tony Thompson, and Robert Palmer on vocals. Their cover was so good you'd think it was their original song!
The Bang a Gong bit was added to the title in the US, in the UK was just Get it on . Was evidently another song with the title Get it on in the US released before this .. T Rex or Tyrannosaurus Rex as they were originally known were one biggest pop bands of the early 1970's . Had many hits in the UK not sure about the states . Ride a white swan Hot Love Jeepster Telegram Sam Metal Guru amongst others !!!
I’m not a massive T.Rex fan but Get it on is a great song but I also have in my playlist 20th Century Boy and Children of the Revolution. If you get the chance to check them out I don’t think you will be disappointed
A friend of mine went to the very first Glastonbury - Glastonbury Fayre - in 1970 and T Rex were on the bill. They were huge in the early 1970's and yes...judging from your reaction - Marc was hot back in the day!...still is:). You should check out Metal Guru, Ride a White Swan, fantastic stuff. Sadly, Marc died in a car crash in 1977.
We loved Marc Bolan and T-Rex. Sadly Bolan died in a car crash. We named our first son Marc after him. Before T-Rex they were called Tyrannosaurus Rex which was more "psychedelic folk". I saw them both live.
The US didn't really have a glam rock revolution. In the UK Bowie, Marc Bolan, Roxy Music - even Slade and The Sweet - influenced sound, fashion and an edgy lifestyle. Americans like Iggy Pop and Lou Reed were welcomed into the circle.
They would gone all the way but sorry to say - the lead singer & guitarist, Mark Bolan, was killed early on. Motorcycle crash, I think. The platform shoes 👞 were glam too. Fun band. Fun times! Thank you for sharing this!
T REX live - what a treat!
Marc Bolan a legend here in UK, Trex had lots of huge hits. Lead singer Marc died in a car crash age 29 in 1977. Always a legend
The famous producer Tony Visconti said that the minute he met Marc Bolan, he knew he was looking at a future rock star.
The backup singer with the huge afro was his live-in girlfriend and she was driving. She lived.
Not only in the UK. Also here in Germany
Love watching Donnas reaction when she recognizes a blast from the past. Great reactions.
😊 thank you
Quite a performance!
Donna, I am with yoy on this one. This song always makes me happy.
It's beautiful to watch all three of you be so happy keep it 😁 😁 😁 😁
Thank you so much 😀
You should react to the studio hit version of this. You will probably know the song from the song that was heard on the radio
I never heard this version - I think it actually was live :-)
Awesome! Rocking with you! Im pushing 70.
👍
Start looking up all of his performances and songs He will blow your minds 🎸💕
Seeing lulu’s eyes light up when she sees all that hair priceless
T Rex were probably the biggest band in the UK in the early to mid 1970s ! Over 4 years they had 11 top ten records, including 4 number ones
Wow
Slade were the most successful stats wise,
@@KathyLuluandDonna Check out Slade, "The British Hit Singles & Albums names them the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one"
tHE BIGGEST BAND IN THE EARLY TO MID 70'S WERE elp. THE MEDIA HATED THEM, HENCE THE SILENCE ABOUT THIS. Ahh shit caps.
Slade were huge then as well.
Great reaction & just goes to show that Marc still wows the ladies 😊
I think this sums up perfectly what 1973 was like. Brilliant fun all day every day
It was called "Get It On" in the UK but there was an American record out at the same time. I think Marc's wife Gloria Jones is one of the backing singers. She wrote the classic "Tainted Love" that Marc Almond of Soft Cell covered as a tribute. Marc was Bowie's idol back in the London Mod scene.

Bang A Gong was a huge radio hit back in the day, and for many years after!!!
Great, great video it made my day.
Thanks for the reaction. I had not seen this performance before, and I loved it!
It's so good!
Ride a White Swan is fantastic ad well. My absoloute fave is I Love to Boogie. Another great one is Children Of The Revoloution.
This song reminds me of the time i was a student
It was a great song!
Loving the hair on the backing singers!
Great choice!
Trex was probably the first glam metal band in the world
I read somewhere that it was a girl in the makeup department for TOTP that first sujjested eye shadow.
They were originally called tyranosaurus rex.
I was just 17 when he died would have loved to see them live... was always a Bolan boy
There’s another video with Elton John on the Piano, but Elton is actually just miming Rick Wakeman’s piano playing. You should check it out.
Glamrock at its finest best 😂.
Cool! 😎
I am 73 years old and Marc Bolan and T Rex have always been my favourite band !!!!!
Seals and Croft introducing T Rex - that's funny.
Omg I didn't realize that's who that was.
T-Rex was big in the early to mid 1970’s. I have 2 record albums Electric Warrior (1971),which has Bang a Gong on it and The Slider (1972).
Lol y'all went total "Giggle chicks" with this one..
Yup "Marc Bolan" Was for sure on the unique end of the Rock music spectrum; at the time. He kicked a lot of doors open for other up coming musicians.
Dude is still widely appreciated to this day.
An awesome Singer Guitar player & Showman ... RIP Marc; you are missed.
Hello everyone welcome back to the channel with 3 beautiful Texas ladies making our day better with us together. Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️♥️
Hits from them: Hot Love, Children of the Revolution, 20th Century boy 🙂
Ride A White Swan and Metal Guru were the best of T Rex imho. Both are timeless classics loved across the generations.
Children of the Revolution was another timeless classic.
I still play the albums, especially "Electric Warrior"!
Fantastic
Again, a fantastic reaction, ladies Another great hit from T. Rex was "Telegram Sam". One of the first records I owned. Marc Bolan was an absolute original.

What a fabulous clip you chose, who were the backing singers they were sensational!
Much later in years, this song was done later by Robert Palmer with his group Power Station!!
The late great Robert Palmer did cover`s better than the original`s, mostly.
Children of the Revolution, 20th Century Boy ,& a song Guaranteed To stay in your head all day is , Hot Love ,
Great tune by T Rex. ❤❤❤❤. Great reaction to this classic ❤❤❤
Thanks so much
T.Rex Bang A Gong (Get It On) .. You ladies sure were having fun with this one. I do know the song from way back. Great band
a little "homage" to the "Who" there at the end, With the instrument destruction LOL Cool.

You can tell that wasn't no lip sync or autotune...the real deal , full 70s

Thanks for the information
was wondering if it was Gloria, makes sense that it is
Marc Bolan's birth name was Mark Feld. Being a big admirer of Bob Dylan he came up with the name Bolan from the Bo in Bob and the lan in Dylan.
The backup singers were making sure they will be heard no matter the sound mix😂
Apparently, they didn't understand the concept of "back-up" singers.

I always get a kick out of Lulu saying "Ba Boom"
Lulu is a mess. Lol
Marc Bolan and this band is legendary.....RIP Marc 😞
I'm curious as to how many songs y'all have added to your playlists directly because of hearing them on your channel.
Y'all rock!!
A lot, especially Donna.
I definitely think that you would like the Power Stations version a little better.
Going out with a bang! 😂😂😂
Hello ladies. I've got one to try. " Take another turn" by Sarah jaroze
The conga player is Mickey Finn. He and Bolan were a duo in the begining. It just took off from there.
Is this a new venue..... OMG...
Ladies, you must hear the version by The Power Station! Andy and John Taylor from Duran Duran, legendary drummer Tony Thompson, and Robert Palmer on vocals. Their cover was so good you'd think it was their original song!
Saw them many years ago. The were supported by a punk band called The Damned who were great too.
The Bang a Gong bit was added to the title in the US, in the UK was just Get it on . Was evidently another song with the title Get it on in the US released before this ..
T Rex or Tyrannosaurus Rex as they were originally known were one biggest pop bands of the early 1970's . Had many hits in the UK not sure about the states .
Ride a white swan Hot Love Jeepster Telegram Sam Metal Guru amongst others !!!
I imagine that the studio version would be more recognizable to you.
The lyric is really Bang Her Gong ... to get past US censorship it was changed to Bang A Gong
Nice version. A bit harder than the one I am accustomed to.
Robert Palmer and Power station did a killer cover of this song in the eighties.
Despite the trappings Bolan was an old fashioned rock n roller brought up to date

You nedd to check out 20th Century Boy from this band. And also check out The Powerstation covering Bang A Gong. It was a huge hit in the mid 80s.
Marc Bolan created and defined the glam rock genre and set the style for most rock bands of the 70s
the phrase used was T rextasy
We loved Marc Bolan and T-Rex. Sadly Bolan died in a car crash. We named our first son Marc after him. Before T-Rex they were called Tyrannosaurus Rex which was more "psychedelic folk". I saw them both live.
Awesome
He blew his mind out in a car. RIP Mark.
They added 'Bang a Gong' to the title because there was already a song called 'Get It On'.
Marc Bolan was 20 years ahead of his time too bad we lost such a great performer
I read that Paul Stanley from kiss got his stage moves from Marc bolan.
The US didn't really have a glam rock revolution. In the UK Bowie, Marc Bolan, Roxy Music - even Slade and The Sweet - influenced sound, fashion and an edgy lifestyle. Americans like Iggy Pop and Lou Reed were welcomed into the circle.
