16MM COLOR FILM



Tamalpais Mountain Theater

Info:

16mm color footage with zoom lens taken of The Doors by what was most likely a two man camera crew hired by Tom Rounds of KFRC to document the Fantasy Fair & Magic Mountain Music Festival on June 10th, 1967. Shot from the stage with a single camera, this footage features multiple angles of The Doors performance. While it does not appear to have original sound, this footage is approximately 4 minutes in length and is of excellent quality with brilliant colors, documenting a pre-leather pants performance by Jim Morrison, and The Doors rise to fame.



16MM BLACK & WHITE FILM



Tamalpais

Info:

16mm B&w silent footage of The Doors at the Tamalpais Mountain Theater in Marin County, California. Approximately fifty seconds of footage are known to collectors. While a camera crew was hired by KFRC to film the festival, the crew responsible for this black and white footage is hired by filmmaker Jurgen Schroder-Jahn of Germany for his short film Die Herren Von Morgen - Hippies, and are said to have shot over 30 minutes of footage at this venue along with original native audio recorded on a Nagra. The film crew also attends a second performance that evening at the Fillmore Auditorium, focusing mainly on the audience and the light show, however the footage may in fact have been shot the night before. The original audio accompanying the Tamalpais Mountain Theater footage are segments of When The Music's Over and Break On Through. Reports from recent years indicate that the original filmwork and audio from this show was destroyed to make room in the archive it was stored in.

Original Audio:
When The Music's Over (Segment) > Break On Through (Cut)


8MM AMATEUR COLOR FILM



Tamalpais Mountain Theater

Info:

Silent color footage of The Doors at the Tamalpais Mountain Theater on June 10th, 1967, shot by audience member Steve Brown on an 8mm camera who is stationed near the back of the amphitheater. At approximately three minutes in length, this is one of three known sources of film footage of The Doors taken at this festival. (See Below)


LOST FILM



Tamalpais

Info:

Photographs taken by Gene Anthony and other photographers show multiple cameras filming The Doors from the foot of the stage during their performance at the Tamalpais Mountain Theater on June 10th, 1967. Although three different sources of footage have already surfaced from this show, these photographs indicate that yet more film footage was shot by members of the audience and may still exist.
