I was there where T.Rex came along... got all their records and was so lucky to see them in concert in 1973.. still listen to their music and just LOVE it.... amazing talent Marc Bolan was.
His lyrics appeared simple but where very complex and beautiful poetic.Agree with all previous comments.His lyrics have so many different levels that most wont understand unless listening to many times.One of the greatest performers of all time.THE BEATLES understood this so well!!Boogie on Marc.
it broke my heart where I read recently that during his funeral that it was so disturbing when the casket was like on a train track and the swan of flowers moved like it was going in a cave to cremate him. So heartbreaking
When my Dad died my Mum said I could chose any albums I liked from my Dad's collection. I saw a beautiful nymph like man with an afro and a leopardskin cat suit, I fell in love x
I love how - while only backed by a single acoustic guitar and a set of hand-drums - he approaches the song like he has a full, loud-ass rock and roll band behind him. Pure class.
His legacy lives on-he seemed a beautiful soul & he had charisma & looked good-he had it all and thank goodness for media we actually get to see his spirit rock.
some serious goosebumps I get everytime I listen to that beautiful song!!!! I was dancing when I was twelve....what's it like to be alone.. what a performer, oh Marc ....
He was so cool, sitting on the stage singing and playing very few dead or alive have the balls to pull that off, he was way way ahead of his time, a true musical visionary.
Mr GLAMTASTIC is just fantastic here!... This is one of his very best songs too - and the lyrics is a masterpiece, with so many layers. A cosmic song about life and death - and I guess he knew he predicted his own fate here. I mean he knew all too well that he would die all too young.... Rock on Marc in heaven - we will never forget you. Wekeep a little Marc in our heart forever....
So moving, the tears are flowing. What an Artist he was, this song is a CLASSIC apart from everything else he wrote. I was there I will never forget it. My first ever gig age 12. My friends daughter went to see Kasabian last week, and they sang Cosmic Dancer, she said they sang it beautifully. Well done Kasabian. KalMiyH. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I remember being so into Trex & Marc Bolan with the slider album. I would listen over and over. A lot of my friends were not into him like I was because (i think) the flashy atrire. They made it seem gay, so being a young man I was going along with the crowd and pretended not to like the whole Marc Bolan thing when around them. Looking back at it I would have to say he is still one of my favorite artists. The sound, the look, the original style. Great.
Lovely video, thank you so much for sharing. Marc truly was an inspiration, I just wish I could have been around at the time. Born in -95 when all the good fun was over..
@kjctubeful I have had the same experience @work with people , I have Marc on my screen saver and people always ask "who is that"? and I tell them and turn them on.... they think he is beautiful and amazing. I have 2 daughters aged 20 and 15 who totally love Marc and love his music and have for years... It's awesome they have been turning their friends onto Marc as well , it's great!!!!!!!
Man, is anyone else disappointed that the cosmic dancer is sitting during the entire song 😂 especially since Marc Bolan was such a great dancer, the guy could really move.
The line is, "What's it like to be a loon? " double meaning is "What's it like to be alone" then "I liken it to a balloon" Meaning floating through the air like a LOON is like floating in the air as a BALLOON but his double meaning is that being alone is, to him, similar to if one were a balloon floating above & away from everything & everyone, separate from normal life & human interaction with others. One of his many MANY double meaning lyrics. He was clever, maybe even (at times)...profound.
BRILL COMMENTS BUT I JUST WANT TO SHOUT ABOUT THIS GUITAR PLAYING OMG WOW ITS STARTS OF ACCOUSTIC, THEN HE CHANGES IT ITS AMAZING HE BLOWS IT AWAY ON GUITAR
I just love how he ask the audience in the front if they are okay. Tells you everything you need to know about this man
Cosmic Dancer by Marc is still a very beautiful fine song with great lyrics. Marc was one of the best ! Jon Fisher
I'M 63 and still LOVE this music, I'm dancing and weeping in my wine! RIP Marc

Man he was a great singer and a truly beautiful man. He deserved a longer life but he lived just about everyday. R. I. P. Marc
it broke my heart where I read recently that during his funeral that it was so disturbing when the casket was like on a train track and the swan of flowers moved like it was going in a cave to cremate him. So heartbreaking
I was born in 1968... Discovered Marc through my mum ...Such a genius ! Wonderful lyrics too!!!
When my Dad died my Mum said I could chose any albums I liked from my Dad's collection. I saw a beautiful nymph like man with an afro and a leopardskin cat suit, I fell in love x
Danielle Flaherty that’s beautiful . I’m 65 and still love him since I was a teenager. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
R.I.P. Mark Feld. You live on through your beautiful music and also through your son, Rolan.
I am 55 and i am still dancing to your music.
Because you are young
me too...I still find him fantastic and pure raw beauty and sexy
We will meet him that is for sure..We will meet all our loved ones as well.
I danced myself right out the womb, is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb, is it strange to dance so soon?
So poignant x
I would sell my soul to have been able to have seen Marc live. Unfortunately, he died when I was only 6 yrs. old. What a beautiful, beautiful boy....
Marc Bolan will live on in his music forever, so talented, thanks for great track x
This is beautiful. And I wanna give massive love to Micky Finn. Miss you man. 💙
I love how - while only backed by a single acoustic guitar and a set of hand-drums - he approaches the song like he has a full, loud-ass rock and roll band behind him. Pure class.
One of the best perfomances ever
This is at Wembley Stadium... yet the performance is as intimate as a small pub... a real inspiration to all of us small songwriters everywhere
omg.. I SO AGREE!!!!!! TRUE TALENTED artists seem to be overlooked..
His legacy lives on-he seemed a beautiful soul & he had charisma & looked good-he had it all and thank goodness for media we actually get to see his spirit rock.
Jesus
He’s Still Got it♥️🌟🎸🌟♥️
Look at those little girls.
Marc Bolan was the a new kind of Elvis of the 70s.
I'm 16 and I absolutely love his music! Why did they take him so soon?
I hope you are still enjoying Marc at 25 you have great musical taste

OMG, thank you!
If he was normal then he wouldn't be Marc Bolan!
Man, is anyone else disappointed that the cosmic dancer is sitting during the entire song 😂 especially since Marc Bolan was such a great dancer, the guy could really move.
