- As 2AM rolled around, the 2013 Bonnaroo SuperJam had already treated the audience to massive surprises such as Brittany Howard of the Alabama Shakes and R. Kelly. Everyone was on cloud nine. As the band performed their first encore, they couldn't help but wonder... would Billy Idol make it over to the SuperJam in time for the final surprise of the night? In the end, Billy Idol appeared out of nowhere as the crowd erupted with a roar of excitement and the band launched into a monstrous take on T. Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)". The ultimate show topper for one of the best Bonnaroo shows in the festival's illustrious history. Only at Bonnaroo.

Punk will never be dead so long as Billy is still around.
This man has always stayed in shape.....Even after his horrific motorcycle accident......Legend......
Billy still looks and sounds good after all these years
Real good!
my man your avatar cured my headache
HE HAS NO VOICE!
@@cookervillpop101 LOL!!!!
Billy Idol and John Oates together... What........ This was an awesome find.
I know, right?!👏
Reminds me of the time Hendrix opened for the Monkees!
@@anthonymichaelhalloates2902 yup that was a shit show
Next up - Darryl Hall and Marilyn Manson
We should all take a moment to appreciate how wonderful and random Marc's lyrics are.......love you Marc xx.
Well you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
Well you're an untamed youth
That's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
EPIC! Billy played on Marc Bolan series Marc front man for Generation X. Billy goes way back to the Original and Only Marc Bolan. Congratulations Marc for T Rex making it into the 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Way, way overdue. You were the first!
Billy Idol certainly nails this.....great version, Marc Bolan would have been proud.....RIP
So you knew Mr. Bolan personally did you?
and yeah we know he is dead no need for that new MILLENNIAL shit george RIP harrison. John RIP Lennon.. John Rip Bonnahm, Jimmy RIP Hendrix. it is idiotic ! they are IDOLS STARS NOTHING BRIGHTER will ever shine but YOU need to offer condolences.
@@mickavellian calm your shit pussy boy.
I got to see trex back in the seventies..marc bolan was one of a kind. This song brings back so many memories. 😊

Billy ain't young anymore, but his tribute to Marc Bolan is still great ! Greatest rock song ever ! RIP Marc, and thank you Billy for giving it your best !
starsinmybeard Dont need to be young to play music well.
He's not that old. He's a 18 year old at heart.
Billy still has it.
What a diaper full of shit ?!
Billy never had 'it', all artifice, pose and image.
he nailed it..Billy Idol rocks..
Like the way You sing and move and alltogether have fun on stage and in front of it . You direct and somehow everyone goes with You. It looks natural but is so much effort and energy 🗣
Billy being Billy, LOVE IT!
Billy fkn Idol Nailed it!!!! Sooooo Goooood oh YEAH! You got a hub cap diamond star halo Billy! BaNG my fkn gOnG. This is easily the best live cover of this classic T-Rex original I have ever had the privilege to listen to so thank yOu Bon-my-goo-ga-loo-ROO. Greatly appreciated.
I cannot believe that this was 10 years ago today! What a great night!
Billy idol is obviously a great cool guy
Wow! A great tribute to Marc Bolan (T. Rex). I'll bet he would have loved it.
Marc Bolan would have loved this! What a creative force he was.
ua-cam.com/play/PLSz-KxGjCLJqQxkV5M7AiWQwLhvIoTgkW.html&si=UV935BZpI2uTP_3u
Billy has still got IT!!!! Great performance and the band and Oates.............well.....total Pros!Cool post!Blew me away!Billy owned this!!!
Billy makes me very happy all the time
i saw a concert of his on pbs, my sis in law was mesmerized, hes gotta be over 60 and still can take his shirt off, plus he just plain rocks, of course it probably doesn't hurt to have one of the best guitar players in the world backing you, rock on billy.
Billy was almost 58 at this Bonnaroo show but even now at almost 63 he still looks pretty dam good & rocks it out!
He's ruggedly hot.
You're freakin' great Billy!
@2:40 when Jim James says, And Go f yourself too. And Billy says, That's right man, then hugs and laughs that laugh.
Just shows you how much of a great guy he truly is!!
Personally I enjoyed the hell out of this. Thanks for sharing this video. As expected, Billy and the whole band were fantastic.
yep me too, I can watch it over and over, full screen for sure.
this is great and I will always remember T.Rex, they were before their time...and Billy is forever...
So great to hear Billy sing the best Marc Bolan song. Nice going!.
The blonde backup singer is Bekka Bramlett from Nashville, she was lead singer in Fleetwood Mac during the SteveiandLindsey-less years with Dave Mason. Her mother and father was Delaney and Bonnie (and friends), Eric Clapton is her godfather.
So that's Bonnie's daughter huh? Cool. Always loved "Never Ending Song of Love" by them. Anyways......Thanks. :)
and you're the aunt? splendid.
I saw her with Fleetwood Mac and is was exceptional - what a singer.
John Oates, official member of the 'Absolutely Need To Keep the Mustache' club.
@@jarredeckman1976 I'm saying he's one of the guys who looked great with a mustache, and really weird without.
Neal Schon is there too
A stage full of legends right there. Awesome.
ROCKED IT!!!
Marc Bolan (T-Rex) 1977, had his own show, Billy Idol was in the band, Generation X, As a guest of Marc Bolan , Tony James & Generation X performed the song "My Generation" . Marc Bolan introduced Billy Idol as" someone that is suppose to be as pretty as me" Check it out ,Marc would be proud of this cover! Remember ,"Keep Some Marc In Your Heart"
Adam loves this!
Keep a little marc in your heart. Always!!
agreed i have the marc shows from granada and saw them at the time ,great memories,i guess this might be a homage to bolan by mr idol ney from one idol to another.
I gather Billy Idol was a big T.Rex fan too. He once recounted a story of seeing them at Glastonbury circa 1970, when Marc Bolan told to the hippy audience to f**k off!
Yes it was called Marc the jam were on
Reminiscing about my first Bonnaroo. This Superjam changed everything I thought I knew about concerts. Always go to the Super Jam!
I'm gonna be like the 4000th person to cover this. Love hearing different interpretations. The original is a work of art, and I find little things in the recording every time I listen to it, and I listen to it a lot. This one is fun, too. BIlly looks good for however old he must be.
Awesome T.Rex cover. Billy rocks!
wow I don't think the crowd realise how lucky they are to there what FUCKERS ah I would be on that stage going nuts what a legend he is and what a grest cover he did
Billy is clearly in command on stage, centre of that universe 🌠
He still looks great now at 63, amazing.
I love it I miss the good music from the greats God bless them hope they will be around for a while
John and Billy are two of my favourite fire sign men and musicians! I love their energy.
Billy Idol is the reson why i love rock roll
He still looks good.
Billy you still rock to this day. You put on a great show last year in Tulsa, OK.
This collaboration is the best 🔥🔥🔥
fantastic song billy done a great job
You must be easy pleased.,..
Great when Billy gets into his Idol-mode 😀
Dirty sweet. I'll be your girl, Billy! Rock on...
Best cover of this song ever!!!!! Totally killed it!! Billy idol is everything
He,s bloody awful..... Jeez
I ❤Billy!!!!!😘😘😘 he's so cool!!!
Back-ups are killer! They nailed it!
That Was Good!
i love marc, i love billy. i thought billy did marc proud. anyone who chooses to honor marc is awesome to me.
Your dirty sweet and your my girl.
What an amazing lyric from the master genius himself.
Mr Marc Bolan
Rock on!!!!
Billy Idol !! I saw him in concert in the 80's he was awesome!! It was his birthday!!❤😊❤
I saw him one night in sacramento can't remember if it was 85-86 the concert was sold out. People were wearing black some in wedding dresses. I knew I fu_ked up I was wearing jeans with a pastel crop shirt. He had the crowd going I thought there was going to be a riot. Billy just tore it up...
@@rhondabothelio7238
WoW!! Yeah, I was sporting a mini skirt ripped crop top and a Mohawk!! Lol !! 🤣
All these girls were literally throwing their underwear on stage!!
T. REX !!!
I remember seeing Billy on TOTP around 1978 with Generation X with the full on punk/rock attitude performed to perfection. I never saw any lack of confidence. Watching this he appears to be unconfident of what he is and brings to the table, maybe because he is around top musicians. Billy, never forget what you are good at. That is your individual quality which no one else has.
Great video, I really enjoy watching backstage and rehearsal stuff. Billy looks and sounds good here.
They're enjoying it - and so am I!
Great fun..! One of my favorite songs.. Well done Mr RockaBilly.. 🐾
Truly one of the best rock and roll songs ever!! 🤘
The Man Looks Great!! Oh yeah, He sounds fuckin awesome as well!!!😎👍
He likes get down n dirty doesn't he 💥
That turned out quite f'n good
Hard work pays off. Very nice.
Wow this was sooooo good
Love ya Billy and you look great.
This is amazing
And Billy's first on-screen appearance was on Marc Bolan's TV show. Full circle.
Just brilliant. Love Billy, cannot believe his age. He has such a young attitude.
Wow!! Love it!! They are rocking it out!!
Billy just surfs the decades !!! Class !!!
Fantastic, loved it
well played Billy Boy!
Billy was literally my idol in hs, ppl said I looked like him, now I look like Chris Farley at the chip n Dale's tryout...
*A wonderful thing happened on the day I was born, back in 19 hundred, fifty eight.*
I quickly learned that the Age of Aquarius had just dawned, bringing in a whole new mentality. Rock n Roll had just planted it's seed deep inside America and it was growing world wide into a new way of life. No longer did age mandate and restrict us. We could be as young as we feel. And when we are rockin'... we feel young... forever. We learned, we don't have to grow old mentally. We can remain vibrant and creative as long as we wish. We learned age was just mind over matter... and if you don't fuckin' mind... it just don't fuckin' matter!
Live on my good people, treat those around you with joy and respect, enjoy the journey, and grow a little every day.
And the Stones just PUT on a LIFETIME performance! one that every musician alive is asking HOW???
@@mickavellian ... So true my brotha! Amazing!
So beautiful :D :D
What a great show!!❤🎉
He looks fantastic
The boss bolan thanks lads xxxx
Throughly enjoyed this! Jammin performance!
“I’d give you all, and have none babe, just to have ya here by me.” One of my favorite rock lines ever. Hey,,, um,, is that John Oats?
This really kicks ass if you turn playback speed up to 1.25 !
Nice to see the musicians having as much fun as the audience.
Love This! An Awesome Song! Loved T-Rex and Power Station's Versions! Mighty, Mighty! Thanks you for this upload ;->

Billy Idol spat on me at Festival Hall Melbourne Feb 1986 , I was so excited i could not wait to get home and tell my mum ... she was not impressed .... it was AWESOME ...
I am a mega fan Billy Idol and what I have heard and seen here is absolutely great. That leaves you wanting more of the hot shit. I love 👍👊👍

Yes, great job! Got to hear the version by The Power Station !!!
Intimate, nicely shot and captured the energy of the event! :)

Billy is good people, I think I notice him reading lyrics that are on the floor which shows his human side even though he's an idol😁
