T. Rex (February 18, 1976) Lyceum Ballroom, London – Combined Sounds & Record Mirror/Disc Concert Reviews

Publications: Sounds (Jonh Ingham) & Record Mirror & Disc (David Hancock)

Date: February 28, 1976

A combined critical portrait of Marc Bolan’s Futuristic Dragon-era return to the London stage at the Lyceum Ballroom. The reviews capture Bolan’s charisma and enduring star power alongside the contradictions of a set heavy on nostalgia, a tight band, theatrical dragon staging, and the visible wear of a performer navigating post-glam realities. Both critics acknowledge the magic while noting artistic tensions in a show that balanced hits with the weight of reinvention.
