[sardonicus]

It’s a miracle the stage didn’t collapse from the weight of all that talent.

[lesbonnick]

The one and only Elton John on piano. Brilliant performance by T-Rex. Absolute classic.

[ViggoMJ]

Came here after watching Marc Bolan on Rock & Roll Mysteries. Fantastic!

[JeffCoppage]

When you discover grandma and grandpa were cooler than you'll ever be.

17 yrs old was living this music!! Still live it today at 67, better than the shit they play today!! Glad we have a Oldies station!!! Rock and Roll lives on!!

Marc Bolan and Elton John really looked good on stage together with the rest of the band. This song was very popular in my area back in 1971. We lost a talented musician back in 1977 in a car crash, his name was Marc Bolan, lead singer and guitarist of T. Rex, he was only 29. RIP Marc.

Elton and Bolan, doesn't get much better/😎🎸🎸🎸

[cabester]

It's amazing to see that Elton just looks like a session pianist here

[dennisnelson]

Who knew Elton John played for them?? Learned something new today! Nice

[aimformyheadplease]

Marc Bolan would have changed the direction of popular music completely. I can't even imagine what our top 40 this week would look like if he'd have lived.

[MarkSeifter-no]

'You're built like a car; gotta a hubcap diamond star halo" !!! Who the hell writes songs like this anymore?! Nobody does. But Marc Bolin and TRex did.

[anothercat]

The baritone sax is a huge part of this song.

[martinry]

What a time to be alive. Those ladies are beautiful

[kdp]

One of the most iconic TOTP appearances ever!

[amandashare]

The beautiful man that was Marc Bolan, still loved still missed. Not to mention the absolute genius that is Elton John xx

[krisscanlon]

This how they rolled in 1971...superstars just rocking on each others clips...Go Reg go...Brit chicks dancing away too!

[connerdearing]

I’ll never get why Elton and Marc’s relationship isn’t talked abt more. Underrated duo

[drewfife]

Dating myself, but God I love those 70's gals.

[harryguitarandmore]

50 years old...and the Sound is still fresh!-;)

[RobertJenigen-km]

I'll never ever ever ever ever tired of playing this song 50 years now
