T. Rex

In July 1972, T. Rex was experiencing a peak phase in their career, having released the album "Electric Warrior" just months prior, in September 1971. This album catapulted the band to stardom, featuring hits like "Get It On" and solidifying their glam rock identity. By the time of the live recording at the Empire Pool in London, T. Rex was not only enjoying commercial success but also a significant following, propelled by their distinctive sound and Marc Bolan's charismatic stage presence. The performance captured in the video showcases the band's electrifying energy during live shows, which was a hallmark of their appeal. Interestingly, T. Rex’s early work laid the foundation for the glam rock movement, influencing countless artists across genres, and "Cadillac," highlighted in this recording, exemplifies their rhythmic style and lyrical flair that captivated audiences during this vibrant era.
