Beat Club was a German music show presented by Uschi Nerke & DJ Dave Lee Travis. The show was broadcast from Bremen, West Germany from 1965 until 1972 and featured many Live acts from Britain, Europe & America. In 1972, Beat Club changed its name to Musik Laden, and the show ran from 1972 until 1984. Everyone's welcome to post Prog-related Beat Club & Musik Laden performances on this thread. I'll be posting as many classic Prog-related Beat Club and Musik Laden performances as I can find on this thread topic in the coming weeks ahead. I hope you'll all enjoy them.  To commemorate the sad loss of Ginger Baker recently, what better way to start than this classic broadcast of Ginger Baker's Air Force on Beat Club in 1970. |

Yes, he hosted Beat Club alongside Uschi Nerke from 1966 to 1969. You can still see many of the early black & white Beat Club shows with Dave Lee Travis on YouTube.

Thanks for posting the "Frontiers of Progression" video. I haven't seen it for several years so I'm looking forward to watching it again.

Very cool.  Thank you. Don't have time at the moment, but when I do I will check these out. Looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the Ginger Baker video was unavailable. I hope that changes. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Not to Worry. You can still watch the full Beat Club performance of Ginger Baker's Air Force on YouTube. I just watched it a few moments ago and it features an amazing drum solo on "Tell Me a Story (Toady)" |

In the 90s the Italian state TV broadcasted the whole Beat Club collection. I remember Black Sabbath, Yes, Fanny, and many others. It was just at the time I was usually back from work every afternoon Monday to Friday. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

American bands also played at Beat Club, not only European ones -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Paul says in the OP "The show was broadcast from Bremen, West Germany from 1965 until 1972 and featured many Live acts from Britain, Europe & America" or was that a later edit which was missed? ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

You're quite right, Logan. I added America as an afterthought to my original post, having seen many American bands performing in the Beat Club Progressive Times compilation videos I posted here.

I love to make topics where I end up learning something as I dig deeper. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Me too!
I already learned it's best to stick to talking about music on a music site.  Politics and religion were the two subjects we weren't allowed to mention in the forums back when I worked as chief music editor and forum moderator on You Tube Episodes & Music. Political debates can quickly become quite heated, as we've seen here. |

SPOOKY TOOTH - The Lost Broadcasts (from Beat Club & Musik Laden) |

There was also a follow up Show called "Musikladen" with whole concerts aired as "Musikladen Extra". Moderaters where the same guys as before. Far less Prog relevant Artists as before, but there where still some. The Show ran from 72 to the early 80s (and had a follow up again..)

I wasn't sure whether to create a separate thread for Musik Laden performances, but then I thought Musik Laden is just a continuation of Beat Club under a different name, so I'll post all of the Prog-related Musik Laden performances on this thread too.

Fanny's full-length appearance on Beat Club at the back-end of 1971. Fanny were an all-female American rock band, and for British viewers, "fanny" doesn't mean what you think it means. |

After seeing them at Beat club many years ago I started seeking for their albums but they are crazy expensive. Love that band, anyway. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
