Carol incorrectly titled Oh Carolhas a false start and therefore remained unseen so far. A second reason might be that the cameramen were unaware of the duckwalk and could not follow Berry dancing along the studio stage.
School Day incorrectly titled Ring Ring Goes The Bellhere the blue screen shows a moving image of the then current London Sessions album. This clip was not used in the Beat-Club show, but in another Radio Bremen broadcast called “Musikladen” on December 13th, 1972. You can get this clip on the DVD “Best of Musikladen, Vol. 13”
Johnny B. Goodeperformed nicely including duckwalk, piano solo and all. This segment was used in the Beat-Club broadcast of May 27th and is included both in the full “The Story of Beat-Club, Vol. 3” DVD set as well as in a cheaper single DVD called “Beat-Club Best of ’72”
The Lost Concerts broadcast end with another segment from School Dayseen before, though this time without the album cover projected onto the blue screen.
Missing from the new broadcast is an interview conducted with Berry while he was in Bremen. This interview has been used in a later Radio Bremen radio show. Read here the details about the CD set containing this interview
