T. Rex

In January 1972, T. Rex was at the peak of their popularity, bolstered by the massive success of their album "Electric Warrior," which had been released in September 1971. This album not only propelled the band into stardom but is often credited with solidifying the glam rock genre, thanks to hits like "Get It On" and "Jeepster." The live recording of "Hot Love," performed during this period, showcases the band’s dynamic stage presence and Marc Bolan's charismatic performance style. Notably, "Hot Love" was also released as a single just before this live recording, achieving immediate chart success and marking T. Rex's first number one in the UK. The early 1970s was a transformative era for the band as they transitioned into widespread acclaim, making this performance a significant highlight in their career.
