26th January 1968 - Pink Floyd played their very first gig without Syd Barrett, at Southampton University. They were supported by Tyrannosaurus Rex, featuring Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took. I would've given a kidney (or two) to have been at this concert! Sadly I was only 9 #PinkFloyd #MarcBolan

⭐️"Solid Gold Easy Action" was released.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Pre-punk & pure fun.
A favourite of Joey Ramone's.
Joey told Marc in '77 he should release it again.

Remembering Steve Took ~
Born 28th July 1949
Steve was a gifted percussionist, inventive backing vocalist, and Marc's 1st partner in Tyrannosaurus Rex. The three albums he made with Marc are pure magic.

guitar, with heavier sound. Layered instrumentation,
including Mellotron.
