T. REX ~ The Empire Pool. Wembley. London. UK.

  *** CONCERT DAY 1 # 2 -- MARCH 18: 5.30 p.m. - 8.30 p.m., 1972 ***

 

** Both concerts were filmed by an Apple Films crew of five, led by Marc's big mate Ringo Starr. Meanwhile producer Tony Visconti was recording the sound in the Rolling Stones' mobile recording facility parked outside. The concerts shot that day are the only surviving professionally filmed complete T. REX ** 

 

* The Evening Concert ticket had "2" across them, whereas the Matinee ticket had "1" so as help the commissionaires admit people for the correct show. All the time of filming, the project was called "T. Rex In Concert" and only became "Born To Boogie" later on. *

Support Act : Introduced by DJ EMPEROR ROSKO - QUIVER
