December 10, 1970 - T.REX

A performance for the BBC was recorded at The BBC Paris Theatre, 12 Lower Regent Street, St. James's, London SW1, England for John Peel's In Concert


The T.Rex set included the tracks: 'Debora', 'Elemental Child', 'The Woodland Bop - Conesuala' - 'The King of the Mountain Cometh' - 'The Woodland Bop (medley)', 'Ride a White Swan', and 'Jewel'.


The concert was produced by Jeff Griffin and was initially broadcast on the 20th of December, followed by a repeat broadcast on the 23rd of December.

This event marked the final occasion that Marc and T.Rex recorded a special segment for a radio show hosted by John Peel, concluding an association with Marc and John Peel that had spanned just over three years.


Until recently, most versions of this concert that were rebroadcast or released on disc featured an edited performance with the 'The Woodland Bop' medley omitted. The edited version of the show was utilized for overseas broadcasts by the BBC Transcription Service in the following year.


The Woodland Bop' medley can be found on the Marc Bolan – Electric Sevens 2 - At The BBC Limited edition box set release for Record Store Day 2014.
