His 1976 show at the Town Hall in Birmingham was pure adrenaline funk/rock, but that Supersonic performance doing 'London Boys' was doomed the minute he cracked that bottle of Jackie D. in the green room.
I thought that performance of 'Dreamy Lady' (at around the same time) was really good, at the time. But seeing him stumbling and pouting through a weedy version 'Telegram Sam' (in my view the best T.REX single by a mile) quite disappointed me. I've got all this stuff on video collections - but prefer to watch 'Born To Boogie, really.
