he is ADORABLE. i just wish they did some live stuff...that gorgeous les paul isn't even plugged in...it's just in the way, if you get me. sometimes those little guys are...bigger than you might think! LOL.
@@neilmcdougall9944 really? cuz he was under strict orders by the BBC to just "mime". christ, his Les Paul wasn't even plugged in half the time! so i saw this sad thing today...eddie and the hotrods...singer was talking about how they filmed for that last show like, AFTER Marc died. he said it was the most depressing thing EVER. :(
I totally feel like I'm dead and have been transported to the highest plane of Heaven!I never thought I'd get to see the MARC show! This is awesome!!!!!! Thank you so much for uploading this! Marc Bolan is King!
i love to watch the marc shows ,i remember watching them back in 77 and they still look as good today as they did then ,i loved teri scobles dance troupe on the series ,hearthrob ,isobel was a very good looking lady in the troupe
Awww Marc, what's not love about him. We all know this gets ridiculed but he was having so much fun. We all do the same thing in front of the mirror but he got to do it for everyone on T.V. "Let's Dance" is the best bit!!! lol
chrisedelic77 Speak for yourself. You might do that in front of the mirror but some of us are sane. Weirdo. If I was to do it in front of the mirror, I wouldn't act like a big queen.
Yeah, but the NY Dolls really had no impact outside of NY. They just didn’t make it. Whereas Marc and Bowie were huge in the UK. Bolan had one big hit here as well as Roxy Music. Bowie was big everywhere.
@@dynjarren8355 A lot of the UK punk bands were huge Dolls fans(Clash, Gen X, Undertones, Pistols etc). They didnt sell for shit but they influenced two major music scenes in 2 different decades.
@@tcduzit9694 Thats true! I think it was because Johansen was a poor man’s Jagger. He was like a less talented pale imitation and the lipstick and high heels just looked silly.
Hawkwind at 20:25 !!! Robert Calvert appears to be playing Marc's Gibson Les Paul Standard. Marc also lent his guitar to the guitarist in Generation X, who also appeared in the series. Marc went out and bought the guitar when his Standard was stolen. That guitar had been nearly destroyed at an airport. Marc saw it happen. He had the neck replaced with one from a Les Paul Custom.
I had a wine red Gibson Les Paul like Marc's. Mine was ~1978 and it was heavier, with different wood and pickups. Bass player Herbie Flowers played bass on Bowie's Space Oddity and Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed, among others. He was an old rival of Marc's and kept T Rex off the number 1 spot in January 1971 with a song he wrote called Grandad, sung by Clive Dunn of Dad's Army. He got the two note "Grand-dad" tune from a door bell he heard. Ride a White Swan never made it to no. 1 because of him.
Wish I grew up in London in the 70's My girlfriends and I used to make up dance choreography that was way better than Hearts Throbs Dance. We could've been famous and been dancing in Marc's heart.
I love how much you can tell that Marc hates having to introduce the MOR stylings of Alan David. He's nearly gritting his teeth as he says "nice good pop song".
Not true ...Marc totally meant it .....seeing the mediocre dross he himself released at that time......he lived in a totally different world ,where such ditties were totally "nice good pop songs" especially that David Wild tune . Marc went out of his way to state "how good it was"..... It's all that cocaine that makes you appreciate the finer things in life .....
Chris Drummond Marc had worked as a male model in the early 1960s, so, I believe he had an instinctive gift for being in front of the camera. It certainly helped his music career.
Jamie Wild ......came along with the Boomtown Brats from Ireland ,who would become "incredibly huge" thanks to a famine in Ethiopia amongst others. And ........."a nice good pop record by Alan David".......🤣 Just luv that constantly grinning and trodding dungaree dude behind Narc .....you could just sense he totally agreed with this cabaret .
@@annwhite2346 Like all good session men Herbie played what he was ordered to play, or else he would've gotten co writing credits. After that we never heard of him again . Apart from Marc's brilliant 1977 recordings that is .
Don't forget this show wasn't out to change the World or be intellectually challenging; it was meant to be just good, ol' fashioned entertainment, and on that level it succeeds.....
Before anyone gets mad: lemme start by saying that Marc was very talented, very cool, funny, handsome, etc. but BOY he could not host a show (Honestly I don't even care tho I LOVE it)
The only TV footage of the genius Robert Calvert, who was about to do a music venture with Marc, Calvert also nearly crashed in the same spot the week before
I agree that the show is horrendous. If not for Marc, I wouldn't endure it even for a minute. Like you Liz, I would be quite content to watch Marc read the phone book. So sad that he left us before he found his footing to launch the next phase of his career during an era when musical tastes were rapidly changing.
agreed Ann; this offering here is utter crap, woeful and dire! end of 1974, he was all played out, nothing to offer; the backing band are pathetic, especially the grinning cretin bass player in dungarees; ATROCIOUS!
Most people are not actually aware that Marc Bolan's biggest hit was that steel-reinforced fence post which his then girlfriend, Gloria Jones, hit whilst driving his Austin / Morris Mini Cooper car.
where can i find the song on this video he's called jamie wild whats the name of the song as ive looked for this song on here and cant find it its so frustrating as i love this song on marc show :)
My God, I like a bit of T-Rex but some of this show seems like Channel 9 on the Fast Show featuring Mickey Disco. This was a dire show wasn't it? Can remember turning it on in 1977 but not liking it. Geldof singing looking after number one seemed apt! Thanks for uploading!

I will always keep a little Marc in my heart ❣
He really did champion Punk and New Wave ! Good on you Marc ! I've only recently gotten deep into his music , something truly special about Marc !
Or glommed onto it, in the hope of revitalising his own career.
@@annwhite2346 He didnt need to. He took the Damned on tour and they were sell out shows anyway.
i have been in love with Marc Bolan music for the past 46 years, i am 66 now,still loving Marc Bolan.thank u!
The performance of "Groove a Little" here is probably my favorite! That smile just kills me...
lousytshirt liked it till my mum said wtf has he done to nutbush city limits
aww same
he is ADORABLE. i just wish they did some live stuff...that gorgeous les paul isn't even plugged in...it's just in the way, if you get me. sometimes those little guys are...bigger than you might think! LOL.
it's funny, because some of the guest bands did play live. Like the boomtown its here. And the jam in ep1,

Its been available on dvd for 15 years lol
Hey he had a rock tv show. very ahead of his time
Really surprised to see BOB GELDOF on this set. What a treat! Definitely not expecting that. Thank goodness for Marc Bolan.
i love to watch the marc shows ,i remember watching them back in 77 and they still look as good today as they did then ,i loved teri scobles dance troupe on the series ,hearthrob ,isobel was a very good looking lady in the troupe
One of the most powerful posts here. Love Bolan, the heart of rock n' roll.
spent literally all of my childhood watching the video of his show...love love love him!

chrisedelic77 ; In the seventies , I was Agnetha out of Abba in front of the mirror, you betya.
I agree, some of the best/worst ham-it-up lip-sync miming I have ever seen!
But he made the greatest records!
Marc was everything for this country. The US had the Dolls, we had Marc and Roxy Music
Think you forgot David Bowie there.
Yeah, but the NY Dolls really had no impact outside of NY. They just didn’t make it.
Whereas Marc and Bowie were huge in the UK. Bolan had one big hit here as well as Roxy Music. Bowie was big everywhere.
NY Dolls were more popular here in UK than they were in the States. Aerosmith and ELO battered them. (I'm a fan btw)

Thanks for posting. This show is pretty horrendous, but Marc's perfection transcends it. I would watch him read the phone book.
Me dancing infront of the mirror at 3 AM
Marc is mesmerizing.

Brilliant. I watched each episode, great bands on each show. 1977.
"Now here's a nice good pop song by Alan David" *waves hand like a magician*
I used to rush home from school to watch this
I have a tiny bit of Marc in my heart.
Classic !.
Love it.
Marc is such a wonderful unique experience--Thanks much for bringing Marc back into my ❤
I MISS U MORE N MORE EVERYDAY
watching him when he wad alive is wonderful
this was do good,still hard though knowing hes gone
CUTIE BABIE I LOVE U SM🥰🥰🥺🥺
keep a little marc in your heart
Wish I grew up in London in the 70's My girlfriends and I used to make up dance choreography that was way better than Hearts Throbs Dance. We could've been famous and been dancing in Marc's heart.
I'm not the only one that seen Wild flip the camera off when he said, "I'm in love with you" ? ahahahaa
It looked like that one singer "Wild" flipped off the camera but I guess he was pointing? It just looked funny heh.
The great herbie flowers on bass,flatwound strings,foam in at the bridge and a pick,unique style and aound,great player
i love him so much
Jamie Wild screams pure animal magnetism!!!
That's the rockinest Boomtown Rats tune I've ever heard, shoulda stayed like that.
Marc always be in my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ forever and always look gorgeous and handsome boy and his shirt open 😍💗😍💗😍💗😍💗😍💗😍💗😍
i used to have the top he is wearing i have a photo of me wearing it ,miss the guy so much x
I love how much you can tell that Marc hates having to introduce the MOR stylings of Alan David. He's nearly gritting his teeth as he says "nice good pop song".
yea i don't know who an david is , but that song is pretty shitty, and also that jamie ward (?) at 9.17 it sucks...infact nobody remember them
Not true ...Marc totally meant it .....seeing the mediocre dross he himself released at that time......he lived in a totally different world ,where such ditties were totally "nice good pop songs" especially that David Wild tune .
Marc went out of his way to state "how good it was"..... It's all that cocaine that makes you appreciate the finer things in life .....
it was his third show. i doubt he ran out of people to put on his show.
I’m pretty sure the teeth-gritting was substance-induced
This was broadcast on ITV at 4:20 p.m., around the time when they have kid's TV programmes on usually. I can only think that's who it was aimed at.
24:34 that little smile made my day
He was in love with himself, but he wasn't obnoxious with it.
Chris Drummond Marc had worked as a male model in the early 1960s, so, I believe he had an instinctive gift for being in front of the camera. It certainly helped his music career.
Does it really matter man,
Who isnt
Herbie Flowers dressed like a kids entertainer - Rock n Roll
fab been a fan from the start
he was so happy to be on the stage ❤️
This is way better than top of the pops ,
Hawkwind baby! Marc you genius 👏
The ultimate pop star
His tremolo was inimitable.
The Jamie Wilde song sounded like it was straight off a Bay City Rollers album!
He is the brother of one of the BCRs
It's a pity Lenny wasn't still in Hawkwind. Lemmy and Bolam. How awesome would that have been?
It was awesome, Calvert was there
I can't wait for next weeks episode!
Hawkwind in the midst of their brief Be Bop Deluxe phase.
Jamie Wild ......came along with the Boomtown Brats from Ireland ,who would become "incredibly huge" thanks to a famine in Ethiopia amongst others. And ........."a nice good pop record by Alan David".......🤣
Just luv that constantly grinning and trodding dungaree dude behind Narc .....you could just sense he totally agreed with this cabaret .
That's Herbie Flowers I believe, the guy who came up with the iconic bass line for Walk on the wild side. I guess he just saw this show as a payday.
@@annwhite2346 Like all good session men Herbie played what he was ordered to play, or else he would've gotten co writing credits. After that we never heard of him again . Apart from Marc's brilliant 1977 recordings that is .

People thought different. The show did well.
laurence juber from Wings played with Alan David
Saudades, Saudades ;👏👏👏.
Sir Bob has really come a long way....
It was released on may 25th, '77
Only had 3 television channels then.
The only TV footage of the genius Robert Calvert, who was about to do a music venture with Marc, Calvert also nearly crashed in the same spot the week before

DESPUES DE MUCHO TIEMPO ESCUCHO ESTA CANCION NO SABIA QUIEN LA CANTABA SEGURO VARIOS VERSIONES QUE ESCUCHE ERAN COVERS
Bob Geldof and Boomtown Rays were truly horrendous. How did they get over???
Hi Venus - do you have episode two in your vaults?
More proof that Bolan was a one-off. Thanks for posting
Awesome time travel
Word on the street is that Marc didn’t pass, but secretly transitioned into Ann Wilson in the mid-1980’s…
I love Marc but I can only imagine how he felt promoting some of these terrible bands when Marc was a pure Star!!
He wasn't a star by this stage, he was a hasbeen. That's why he was presenting this crappy show.
agreed Ann; this offering here is utter crap, woeful and dire!
end of 1974, he was all played out, nothing to offer; the backing band are pathetic, especially the grinning
cretin bass player in dungarees; ATROCIOUS!
@@annwhite2346 Why are you watching, then, if you don't approve??
Jackie Stewart on keyboards
dang, this was just days away from his death....
It's so hilariously bad that it is highly entertaining. Despite the fact that this also displays Marc's enormous ego, yet he's still awesome.
ブームタウンラッツいいねえ✨
where's episode 2?
Keep a little blow up yer nose, and a little Marc in your heart…
Marc, Brilliant!.....Geldof, Waker!
Most people are not actually aware that Marc Bolan's biggest hit was that steel-reinforced fence post which his then girlfriend, Gloria Jones, hit whilst driving his Austin / Morris Mini Cooper car.
Aw hell yeah, thanks!
Brillant....
Estoy seguro de haber escuchado Let`s Dance para un comercial de ropa para niños.
どのアルバムもいいんだけど、この頃のマークは演奏がガッチリしてて、好きです‼️❕✌️だから、ダンディーアルバムが好きです🎵
I love Bob
where can i find the song on this video he's called jamie wild whats the name of the song as ive looked for this song on here and cant find it its so frustrating as i love this song on marc show :)
I can't believe I've never heard of Jamie Wild before . . .
The boomtown rats look dead young.not seen it since it was on telly.
super music
I know I sound stupid but he could've found a better looking backing band
0.00 Marc Bolan Sing Me ASong
2.55 Marc Bolan Groove a Little
Boomtown Rats . Looking after No.1
Sir Bob lol
Jeez they got away with murder back then ;)
It was fresh and simple compared to ten years of boring prog rock
Know your history before you say stupid things
It used to annoy me that they used to mime in these shows all the time
That title song is hideous. All the way through at the start of every episode?
My God, I like a bit of T-Rex but some of this show seems like Channel 9 on the Fast Show featuring Mickey Disco. This was a dire show wasn't it? Can remember turning it on in 1977 but not liking it. Geldof singing looking after number one seemed apt! Thanks for uploading!
HA Ha Geldorf looks like a Jagger imitator !!
That's pretty much what be was, and a bad one at that.
OOF; that wee Scottish chap really knows how to stink it up!..
Hawkwind win the day
Robert Calvert
jamie wilde....Scotlands answer to David Cassidy .
Jamie wilde. Who the hell was he. Actually the brother of Les McKeown of better known Bay City Rollers.
Dave Brock was sick that day?
