Various artists - The Best of the Beat Club Vol. 1 & 2
The Beat Club was a legendary West German TV show that ran from 1965 to 1972 featuring live performances from top American and British rock bands. This two-disc DVD set plays like an oldies visual jukebox, with nuggets like Santana’s “Black Magic Woman” and Free’s “All Right Now.” But the oddities include albino Johnny Winter in kaftan and knee-high boots and hairy Nazareth in tight, sleeveless T-shirts. Not pretty. And the far-out psychedelic camera effects are now only irritating and deeply distracting.
