The concerts at Wembley were held on March 18, 1972, just after the bulk of The Slider had been recorded in France, and received front-page press attention. Chris Charlesworth of Melody Maker subsequently wrote "all Marc had to do was smile to receive the kind of ovation that any artist in the world would envy...every move brings a scream...and when he grins and shakes his head, the din is deafening". Issues with the sound quality, as well as the skeletal sound of the live group, led to extensive overdubbing of new lead and backing vocals as well as some new guitar parts to the footage.
Marc described Born to Boogie as a film with surrealistic overtones, with some fantasy sequences strongly reminiscent of the look and feel of The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour. Versions of "Tutti Frutti" and an early, fast take of "Children of the Revolution" made the film, with renditions of "Long Tall Sally" and "The Slider" possibly left on the cutting room floor. On April 24, the Mad Hatter's Tea Party sequence was shot at John Lennon's Tittenhurst Park estate in the same spot as Lennon's own "Imagine" video. Attendees of this scene include Marc, Mickey Finn, Starr, Marc's wife June, PR agent Chelita Secunda (dressed as a nun), Starr's financial advisor Hilary Gerrard and actor Geoffrey Bayldon (who played the master of ceremonies) along with a string quartet.
The songs seen performed in the film, in order, are "Jeepster", "Baby Strange", "Tutti Frutti", "Children of the Revolution", "Spaceball Ricochet", "Telegram Sam", "Cosmic Dancer", "Tea Party Medley: Jeepster/Hot Love/Get It On/The Slider", "Hot Love" and "Get It On", with "Chariot Choogle" playing at the end credits.
