T. Rex

In January 1972, when the live recording of "Hot Love" was captured, T. Rex was at the height of their popularity, having recently released the album "Electric Warrior" in September 1971. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, catapulting them to fame and solidifying their influence in the glam rock genre. "Hot Love," which famously topped the UK Singles Chart, exemplified their unique sound characterized by catchy hooks and Marc Bolan's charismatic stage presence. The energetic performance seen in the video reflects Bolan's magnetic connection with the audience, embodying the exuberance of the glam rock movement. Additionally, 1972 would see the release of the follow-up album "The Slider," further establishing T. Rex's legacy in rock history.
