Hi,

Can anyone please help?

I saw Elton John play backing keyboards for a group on (I think) a Top
of the Pops type retrospective TV programme a few months ago.

Does anyone know which band Elton may have played keyboards for?
Possibly late 60's early 70's

Cheers

Peter

It definately was T Rex

Elton also played a cameo part in the T Rex film " Born to Boogie "
back in 1972 or 3, he was great friends with Marc Bolan ( T Rex
leader ), "Teenage Idol" from "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano
Player" was a song dedicated to Marc Bolan.

You may have seen Elton playing with T-Rex on their hit Bang A Gong from around
1971

Yes and in that occasion i think there was a movie in which Elton John, Marc
Boland and Ringo Starr appear 2 mins together.
