THE STORY 

Marc Bolan and his new T. Rex lineup delivered a strong show at West Runton Pavilion. The set included old favourites like “Jeepster”, “Deborah”, “I Love To Boogie”, “Telegram Sam”, and an extended “Get It On”. Bolan left the stage amid stamping and clapping, returning for an encore. Support came from The Damned, who played a short, energetic set.

CONTEXT AND NOTES 

By early 1977, T. Rex were past their commercial peak but still maintained a dedicated live following. This review highlights Bolan’s enduring stage charisma and the band’s ability to excite audiences with a mix of classics and newer material from Dandy in the Underworld.
