This review is from: The Best of MusikLaden Live [VHS] (VHS Tape)

great graphics, great music, marc looks pleasantly strung out.
a warning to all...this video is a mere 20 minutes and 5 songs, unlike a lot of other videos in the musik laden series.

With modern day tools and technology taking over, it's nice to see at least somethings are still kept in their original form. This video, which is a series of videos with other bands (America, Roxy Music, etc.), shows T. Rex in the form that they were in before Tanx, Zinc Alloy, and the super stardom. And, I must say, I like the earlier version of T. Rex better. No cocaine, no arguments, no greed. Just straightforward music. "Life's A Gas", "Twentieth Century Boy" (Featuring the outfit worn by Marc that led to Ziggy Stardust), "Jeepster", and "Ride A White Swan" are all great versions. Don't be keen to buy this just because it's only 20 minutes long. It's the best 20 minutes of live music you'll ever hear!

This review is from: Best of Musikladen [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This great little video features five T.V. performances that Marc and Company did in Germany - the best part is that one can watch Marc metamorphosize from shy guitarist to in-your-face glam rocker, all in a matter of a two-year time span.

The earliest, "White Swan", gives us a glimpse of the original Tyrannosaurus Rex two-man minimalist stage show. "Jewel" is notable for Steve Currie's extended bass solo - very tasty. "Jeepster" and a well-chosen counterpoint, "Life's a Gas", lead up to an explosive "20th Century Boy" from 1972 - worth repeated viewing all by itself.

Well worth the purchase - it may not be available for very long, so get it while it's still around.
