BEAT CLUB
Info:
This one-hour monthly broadcast of Beat Club features professional black & white performance footage of The Doors in Frankfurt, 1968. Originally broadcast on January 25th, 1969, this episode featured many artists including The Move, 1910 Fruitgum Company, Status Quo, Johnny Johnson & The Bandwagon, The Gun, Jimi Hendrix and more.
Filmed at the Kongresshalle on September 14th during both the early and late shows, these short performance clips of Light My Fire and Five To One were uncensored and broadcast during the Beat Club News segment of the show. Due to this footage being re-used in WDR documentaries, these short performance clips of The Doors in Frankfurt are well known to collectors in generated forms, however the rediscovery of the complete original Beat Club episodes online has revealed their original source and the context for their existence. Although various other groups give performances specifically for this show, The Doors are likely unaware of their filming for this episode.
