[Heeplist] Spiders from Mars on HBO Vinyl

Here in the states (could be international but not sure...) HBO has a series called 'Vinyl,' produced by Martin Scorcese and co-produced by Mick Jagger that is focused on the record industry in the early 70's.   The program recreates a lot of the early club and record scene from the early 70's. 

We were watching Season 1 Episode 6 last night and there was a scene with David Bowie playing a New York club during the Spiders From Mars Era.  They had a quick cut to the bass player and sure enough, those gigantic grey mutton chops had me jumping off the couch!  It was only for a few seconds but there was no mistaking they had nailed the look of our own Trevor Bolder on bass in the Spiders From Mars era!

Did anyone else see it?
