Alex Chilton gets horrified!

Alex Chilton's first group, "The Box Tops" make a 1967 appearance on the most macabre local dance show you'll ever see: The legendary DISCOTEEN on Newark New Jersey's Channel 47.

Watch if you dare! [maniacal laughter]

@Ed_Kaz - I flashed back to 1967. A dance party in the high school gym. Hosted by WMCA Good Guy, Ed Bear, and featuring The Jive Five. Except for the costumes, it was a helluva lot like the video.

@doahsdeer - This is one of the only remaining pieces of video from that show. The
Doors also made a very early TV appearance. It's lost, unfortunately.
