The soundtrack has "Break on through" from the Isle of Wight Festival. Is there any footage of it in the movie or just the song on the soundtrack?

From everything I understand about the doc, there is indeed footage taken from the Isle of Wight Festival, and not just the song. Can't wait to see it! But I have to wait until they release it in Florida:(

IOW footage is old news mate....seen a decade ago on the BBC featuring a few minutes of BOT and about 5 or 6 minutes of The End. Whether the whole gig was filmed is not known as it's said there was a problem with the lighting.
10 minutes exists that we know of ...hopefully the rest does too.
Hardly a great Doors gig but as a fan I will take anything on offer footage wise. DiCillo uses a bit of IOW footage in his so called documentary.

I know about the MESSAGE TO LOVE stuff. I'm trying to find out if there is Isle of Wight footage of "Break on Through" because it's on the soundtrack.

I finally watched the movie and BREAK ON THROUGH isn't in it. There is an IOW '70 segment but it features THE END, with footage supplied from Murray Lerner's MESSAGE TO LOVE movie, plus a few stray outtake shots.
