Completely on point considering it was 44 years ago. No surprise it was used for Lord Merlin in Pursuit of Love. Superb reprisal and I for one glad it brings this to a new audience.
Only Marc could sing a 'POP' song about Greek mythology and pull it off so well, crikey I miss you Marc... I was 17 when you died and I will think of you every day of my life...
This track played perfectly in ' The Pursuit of Love ' Perfect that Bohemian Eccentricity, Love T Rex ,Marc Bolan such a sexy Cat ,along with T/Rex , what a Tune .💚😘🎶🎸
Whatever the truth, this is a fantastic live version and Marc plays a fab solo too. The mood of this particular Bolan classic IS one of melancholy...........such a timeless slice of Bolan. Delf n Kaz x
He was only 29 there, barely 4 years after his great wave, of course he could still cut it.. he didn‘t go on a hiatus for ages. If he only had lived longer, I‘m sure he‘d stuck around in the charts for a long time
The album cut is fantastic and holds up to his 70-73 material. The only thing that could have "improved it" in my opinion was if he had put the solo he plays here live on the album cut. I 100% agree with you in regards to the single version he released in order to omit "cocaine" from the song though. That one sounds hollow and poppy for some reason. Nonetheless, Bolan rocks and there were great tracks on the Dandy album.
He knew how to perform-it's great to see him with all his different antics & his persona change naow & then. His wonderful music ability stayed with us-thank you for posting.
Prince of Players, Pawn of none Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights Exalted companion of cocaine nights 'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld Dandy in the Underworld When will he come up for air, Will anybody ever care At an old eighteen exiled he was To the deserted kingdoms of a mythical Oz Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell Now he forever stalks the ancient Mansions of hell Now his lovers have left him And his youth's ill spent He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent But change is a monster and changing is hard But he'll freeze away his summers in his Underground yard
@#WalkAwayI agree! "Teenage nights or heights" or whatever he says makes him sound like a paedo! And it wasn't his fault either, it was the powers that be that thought the word COCAINE was too controversial at the time - Really? Similar to The Stones when they had to change "Lets spend the NIGHT together" to "time" together to appease the American audiences and controversy - what a joke!
Very good. I love T.Rex. But the original text was "cocaine-nights" and not "T.Rex-nights". On my LP from 1977 he was still singing about "cocain-nights". Let´s dream about the good old times and fly a little bit through the cocaine nights
you lot make me laugh you havnt got a clue this man was the king of punk rock this is where it all started this man was well before his time his musis was far advanced of others I remember his death even though I was very young what a sad loss and for your information he was not a junkie just to put that comment straight .rip marc.
Super great! The kids got really great song for guide them in the world! I love that what people done and accepted then! Marc really hit the jack pot in my mind when ever I seen that first time! Super! All the best! I'm just only a guitar player who looking all the people for make many shows with me, come money too! I push thumbs up! Feels by Assa!
Marc Bolan was such a tiny guy, like Angus and Malcom and Bon (of AC/DC) they were all tiny, so we’re their fingers, maybe that had to do something with their mastering their instruments (Bon of course playing the recorder in “Fraternity” his final pre AC/DC band.
And didn't old Bon play bagpipes on It's A Long way To The Top? I think AC/DC was an opening act on one of Bolan's '76 or '77 TV shows, can't remember which, maybe that Rollin' Bolan special. Anyway, I really love this performance of Dandy.
"All his lovers have left him and his youth's ill-spent, so he cries in the dungeon and tries to repent." - Amazing poetry.
That lines always makes me freeze
Completely on point considering it was 44 years ago. No surprise it was used for Lord Merlin in Pursuit of Love. Superb reprisal and I for one glad it brings this to a new audience.
That scene was amazing. I’ve rediscovered the song amd Marc.
I'm here because of Andrew Scott
Really great and i like him and his larry the lamb type voice
Amen! 🙌✨
Only Marc could sing a 'POP' song about Greek mythology and pull it off so well, crikey I miss you Marc... I was 17 when you died and I will think of you every day of my life...
goska es how busy is it this time of year? Planning going to his shrine around the 16th (from Scotland) but I kinda hate other people 😂😬
@@SweetAeromotion彼の神社があるのですか！素晴らしい。いつか行きたいものです❤
No one will ever compare. Ever. I wish I'd been around for this.
I still love this live version so much… just brilliant to see… even 45 years later ❤️🙏🎶
“Will anyone ever care?” We do. Thank you Marc ❤️
This track played perfectly in ' The Pursuit of Love ' Perfect that Bohemian Eccentricity, Love T Rex ,Marc Bolan such a sexy Cat ,along with T/Rex , what a Tune .💚😘🎶🎸
When Andrew Scott arrived in the scene with this playing I was in ecstasy, I'm not even exaggerating, this song is pure heaven
I am Bolan fan for many years. but I have never heard such a guitar solo of him....
Excellent!!! Solo
It's OK...but restrained for sure
Can't Believe this was his last Record. Keep a little Marc in your heart😧😙
Marc is the main man, a great track, very sad he is no longer here :o(
It's a tragedy that he died so young.
@@macksblog If you keep a little Marc in your heart he lives on!
Whatever the truth, this is a fantastic live version and Marc plays a fab solo too. The mood of this particular Bolan classic IS one of melancholy...........such a timeless slice of Bolan.

f-in brilliant - love that he could still cut it in 77. Much better live than I thought he was! Why is this song not more famous?
He was only 29 there, barely 4 years after his great wave, of course he could still cut it.. he didn‘t go on a hiatus for ages. If he only had lived longer, I‘m sure he‘d stuck around in the charts for a long time
Marc singing his own epitaph.
He's fabulous, my generation needs someone like him!
He was incredible, It was heartbreaking when he died, for a 17 year old fan absolutely heartbreaking.
I think Prince is a modern artist in the same vein
@@randyrhodes7137 Right on! "Cream" by Prince seemed almost like a T-Rex tribute.
Well prince is no more either..
If I could be that i would but rn im just some guy
This guy was so far ahead of his time.....
My thoughts exactly! Marc was amazing.
Yes, he was a genius.
there is no ahead of time, only inside of time, and outside of time.
King of Glam Rock, voice of an angel!
A music icon who knows what other
masterpieces he would have written
If he had not been taken so tragically !!!!
This version of "Dandy" is by far the best he ever did, great song but all other versions are just too light weight compared to this live recording.
The most underrated British rock icon of all time
The album cut is fantastic and holds up to his 70-73 material. The only thing that could have "improved it" in my opinion was if he had put the solo he plays here live on the album cut. I 100% agree with you in regards to the single version he released in order to omit "cocaine" from the song though. That one sounds hollow and poppy for some reason. Nonetheless, Bolan rocks and there were great tracks on the Dandy album.
Agreed.
I have overlooked this genius for way too long ! I got a lot of catching up to do !
He knew how to perform-it's great to see him with all his different antics & his persona change naow & then. His wonderful music ability stayed with us-thank you for posting.
beautiful guy, a great Poet, xxx
One of my favorite live performances.
More Marc Magic right there. Keep a little Marc in your heart.
Truly truly the best performance ever. Marc back to his amazing best. Wow, what a performance. Great sound and vision 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶
Always a sad song to me - absolutely brilliant 💙
Every time I listen to this song I find myself singing it all day...Rest In Peace Marc ♥️♥️
40 years. Love, Marc
Good version. Get It Together, June 1977, presented by Roy North (Basil Brush's mate!)
marc bolan gave the damned their breakthrough he new what what was coming next he was instrumental in the punk movement and he is a top top man.
Legend, lives on forever yeah 🤘🏻
Exquisite. Divine. Blissful. Truly magnificent. Thanks for uploading this gem.
He was a dandy of a other world
Tanx
"Forever our exalted companion.
Prince of Players, Pawn of none
Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun
Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights
Exalted companion of cocaine nights
'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld
Dandy in the Underworld
When will he come up for air,
Will anybody ever care
At an old eighteen exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms of a mythical Oz
Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks the ancient
Mansions of hell
Now his lovers have left him
And his youth's ill spent
He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent
But change is a monster and changing is hard
But he'll freeze away his summers in his
Underground yard
Keep a little bit of Marc in your heart.
He's look is perfect in this clip! his hair, makeup, music, EVERYTHING.
Gone but will never be forgotten.
very very sad that marc sadly left us too early.he was a fantastic singer.
underrated tune
BEST VERSION! Amazing rock song!
This is my favourite Marc Bolan song.
T. Rex, Sweet, Bowie. Kings of glam ❤️
hes my man....loved him for soooo many years......wont ever stop xxx
Roy North presenting Get It Together. Bring back the 70s all is forgiven LOL
Such a great artist & performer!
RIP Herbie Flowers, the great bassist on this track
T.Rex & Marck Bolan,fue una lastima que falleciese tan joven.!!!
Haunting that he died shortly after. It's like a goodbye.
3:20 that hair whip was amazing
We are the children of Rarn and we rock on💯
The Man, the Legend
Mark Bolan's writings lyrics were often separated from the real world , but this song’s lyrics seems as if were clearing up his life.
Prince of players!!!
Love this.
wonderfull magic marvellous Marc
Aw, wonderful. Takes me back to my glam rock teens...sigh
this shows marc was a head of his time died to young still had a lot to give the music world r.i.p to all the band
Love U Marc!!
Like this so much more than the album version especially for the "yeah!" at 1.41
@#WalkAwayI agree! "Teenage nights or heights" or whatever he says makes him sound like a paedo! And it wasn't his fault either, it was the powers that be that thought the word COCAINE was too controversial at the time - Really?

@@marcbolanish Live, he usually changed it to "T.Rex nights," and I'm OK with that.
@@seanrockoff7793 I can definitely deal with that too, thanks!
@@seanrockoff7793 teenage actually
dick 1.42 actually
Such a great live version of a Bolan classic and what a sad and tragic waste of true talent rock on in the cosmic skies Marc !!! ♥️
Too beautiful to live, too young to die.
this is one of the best performances of any song ever
Very good. I love T.Rex. But the original text was "cocaine-nights" and not "T.Rex-nights". On my LP from 1977 he was still singing about "cocain-nights". Let´s dream about the good old times and fly a little bit through the cocaine nights
Brilliant...marc is fab x
Genius! Track---Songwriting--Sounds.

マークボランはなんでこんなに素晴らしい曲を作り続けることができたんだろう…。
I prefer this to the album version for some reason, they should chuck it on a cd; make a live album compilation thing.
melhor video da terra
Marc Bolan saved my life 💜

Thank goodness for some sensible remarks about drugs and Marc Bolan and punk. Cheers
