A one‑page Record Mirror & Disc review of T. Rex’s return to the London stage, capturing Marc Bolan’s confident 1976 resurgence at the Lyceum. The review praises Bolan’s showmanship, charisma, and a full set of classic hits, with no new material. The stage featured a giant dry‑ice‑breathing dragon, while the band included Steve Curran on bass, Dino Dines on keyboards, and Gloria Jones on backing vocals. It marks Bolan’s first major London appearance in two and a half years, highlighting his enduring star power and theatrical flair during a transitional phase.
