If it existed BBC would have shown it by now on thier TOTP2 prog or one of thier other retrospective outings......tape was routinely re-used so much of the BBCs rock shows were lost OGWT, In Concert, TOTP, regional shows like Full House and so many others...gone forever. Not everybody mimed on TOTP Rick....in the early 70s a few bands rebelled and actually played the song live.......I remember seeing Uriah Heep do a live version of The Wizard and The Who famously played live and got banned.......Rod Stewart showed complete contempt for the TOTP format bless his tartan scarf.....during a mimed version of Pool Hall Richard he and The Faces just stopped playing and kicked a football about ....great stuff......TOTP was all we had and we loved it then but looking back it truly was a load of old shite......Jim was very contemptious of the show in 68 and said something about being surprised how they turned everybody out like sausages or something and vowed never to appear again on the show..... and he never did!

Several very rare tapes that were thought lost such as a Dr Who episode have turned up in the hands of collectors but I can see no reason for The Doors TOTP to be anywhere but wiped or in the bin. The Doors were nothing here in 1968.....just one of a number of underground acts that had a minor hit and did a miniscule tour of Europe that attracted a tiny bit of media attention for a couple of weeks. The BBC wiped Beatles and Stones programmes in the 60s so why on earth would anyone save a minor American groups appearance on TOTP? Long gone sadly same as The Doors OGWT appearance in 1972 and the Butts Bands turn a couple of years later....damn shame but thats the way the Beeb opperated.......The Germans were a bit better as they saved the Beat Club performance and we are lucky that Granada hung onto a decent copy of the Roundhouse show (although all the stuff they never used is long gone) but BBC were notorious for reusing tape....bastards!

hey, rock & roll was a fad, someting for the kids, the adults never thought it would last, they thought their culture would last, but those of us who were there (as much as I could be) knew better.
