By 1972, T‑Rex, the pioneering English glam‑rock band, was riding a wave of “T‑Rexstacy,” already boasting three of ten forthcoming Top‑10 hits. To mark their triumph, Marc Bolan and the group delivered two sold‑out shows at London’s Wembley Empire Pool, filmed by former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. The resulting concert film, Born to Boogie, captures the full performances—featuring guest spots by Ringo and Elton John—alongside an acoustic set at John Lennon’s mansion, playful backstage moments, and surreal interludes of nuns and dwarves, offering the only complete visual record of a T‑Rex concert.
