Beat Beat Beat was a German music programme that ran during the sixties. Not to be confused with the other well known German pop programme Beat Club, Beat Beat Beat was broadcast out of Frankfurt commencing in 1966. The programme ran to 26 episodes between its launch in 1966 and the final programme in January 1969 all of which are still in the German television archives. The shows were eclectic affairs and included performances by artists as diverse as Eric Burdon and the New Animals, The Move, Sam and Dave, Cat Stevens and Barry Ryan to name just a few.
This first DVD compilation is an eclectic one featuring Casey Jones and The Governors, Cat Stevens, Easybeats, Hermans Hermits, Chris Farlowe, Barry Ryan, Brian Auger and the Trinity Ft. Julie Driscoll. Hits include two number one hit singles, Chris Farlowe with Out Of Time and Eloise from Barry Ryan. Other hits include Friday On My Mind (The Easybeats), No Milk Today (Hermans Hermits) Matthew and Son (Cat Stevens). A highlight is the rarely seen Brian Auger and the Trinity featuring Julie Driscoll performing Save Me and Road To Cairo.
