Tyrannosaurus Rex
Elemental Child... Live
2020 London Calling

Tyrannosaurus Rex, live from the Progressive Rock Festival, Sporthalle, Köln, Germany on April 4th, 1970. Marc Bolan replaced Steve Took with Mickey Finn in late October 1969, and the revised duo recorded A Beard Of Stars, which was released in March 1970. A few days later, they traveled to Germany to play at Cologne's Progressive Pop Festival. Appearing late in the afternoon of the second day, they performed a mixture of psychedelic folk, pop, and rock, clearly pointing the way towards their huge success later in the year. Their complete set, broadcast on WDR-FM, is presented here, digitally remastered, together with background notes and images. Personnel: Marc Bolan - acoustic & electric guitars, organ, vocals; Mickey Finn - drums, tablas, percussion; Moroccan Clay drums, finger cymbals, vocals. First time on vinyl.
