Mega-rare restored 3LP set "The Complete Stockholm 68 Tapes" Konserthuset Stora Salen,
Stockholm Sweden 1968-09-20 incredible soundboard.

These two performances are an eye-opener if you've never heard them before. What you get is a wowser recording of an in-shape, ready to kill you Jim Morrison. The man is out for blood and it shows. The only thing wrong here, and it's the ONLY thing is that Jim is off mike for the first "When The Music's Over". The recording is clear enough that you can just about hear him, but alas there is nothing that can be done about that now. The material itself is stellar and the band is in top form. Enjoy this show, it's a mind-ripper.

This version of these shows is known lineage from a pre-broadcast source and does not have vinyl or bootleg CD in the lineage. It is also a bit less edited than the most recent torrent (the top link listed), with a few more seconds at the beginning of the early show before the announcer intro and some additional announcer comments and tuning in track 108.

Notes: This is the first time this source has been torrented. The sound quality is superior to other copies of these shows that I have heard - specifically clearer-sounding with much better bass and none of the scratchiness of the vinyl sources. There are still some imperfections though including some noticeable wow and flutter in the early show and over-modulation of some vocals in the late show. Nevertheless this is a really nice copy overall and well worth comparing the many other sources of these shows out there. As usual, if anyone can share a better copy than this, PLEASE DO…

A previously unsurfaced audio recording.
For years, The Doors' performance at the Isle Of Wight has only been available in an edited or incomplete form. The most popular release, "Palace Of Exile," is missing over a minute in the middle of "The End" and the intro to "When The Music's Over" is severly edited. Audience recordings of the show are missing "Roadhouse Blues." Previously on this site someone offered a matrix of the audience and soundboard sources in order to recreate the complete concert in the best quality available. Now for the first time, we have a master DAT source for the COMPLETE Isle Of Wight concert in perfect soundboard quality. At almost 70 minutes total, this is as good as it gets until an official release gets made -- if one is ever made.

This comes direct from the multi-track master recording. Quality is near perfect. The only downside is that the stereo separation isn't very good. It sounds like it's an unmixed copy of the multi-track master. So you'll hear Ray's organ more in the center than it should be and Ray's vocals are mixed way down so you don't hear them at all during "Break On Through" and other songs. (A good thing for some?) Still, I would place the overall quality as better than "Palace Of Exile." Little to no hiss. Bass level is much more reasonable. Sharper sound quality overall.

Now just what did I do to the original recording before posting it here? Thankfully, not much. There were a handful of clicks/pops throughout the recording that I removed individually using Adobe Audition. (The glitch during the announcer's introduction is on the original tape and couldn't be repaired without cutting it down.) I also swapped the channels so that Robby's guitar is in the right channel where it should be. The biggest change I made was balancing the channel levels and bringing everything up. This small change really punched up the sound compared to the original transfer. There was no EQ or other tricky business involved. Sounds pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. If anyone wants the original transfer, I'm open to trades.

One small note: About 4:29 into "The End," the music drops out for about 5 seconds and you only hear Jim's voice. Not sure why, but "Palace" doesn't have this mixing error.

The Doors' manager Jeff Jampol recently made the silly statement that the reason they haven't released the Isle Of Wight recording officially is due to audio problems with the master recording. Well here it is, folks. Unmixed and raw. Please tell me if you find any noticeable problems that would prevent this show from being released. I'm dying to know just what errors he believes exist. Another reason why and another obvious lie from The Doors office.

A big thank you to the Doors fan who shared this rare tape. He/She wishes to remain anonymous on this one. I'm merely acting as middleman, and I'm happy to do so.  -Porsche (Original)

John Densmore: drums, percussion
Jack Conrad: bass guitar
Bobby Ray Henson: rhythm guitar, percussion, backing vocals

This was the first show of the "Full Circle" tour, the last tour they did before disbanding, which concluded at the Hollywood Bowl in September that year. Of course they have reunited many times since then, but I guess we should consider this as the last tour.

Believe it or not, I much prefer this tour and album than the Jim Morrison ones. Here the band was somehow on a creative peak, mixing rock, blues, a bit of jazz and funk. A great blend of music. Verdillac is such a great listen!

Incredibly there are no shows currently on DIME with the post-Morrison line-up. Hope I have filled the gap. This is a nice radio broadcast from WGLD in Chicago. Good listen, shortie but goodie. I guess a good companion to the Beat Club footage from the same year that you can find on youtube. -Original           https://www.filefactory.com/file/ffxyyfjrvpn/D00rs19720721-YUP.rar

The first indication that a fine recording of The Doors live at Bakersfield emerged in 2000 with the limited release of the CD, The Bright Midnight Sampler: 14 Songs, 8 Concerts. Tucked away as the second to final track was this medley: Love Me Two Times/ Baby Please Don’t Go/ St James Infirmary. It was identified as a “stage recording”.

We’re not sure who first mentioned this but it is believed that “Vince Treanor, The Doors’ tour manager, recorded the show for the band on a Sony reel-to-reel using two microphones placed on the stage. While not a multitrack high fidelity recording, it is clean, quiet, and clear, allowing the unbridled energy of the performances to shine through”.

On the net, fan bumina added, “The Doors never used a soundboard while Jim was with them. They tuned on stage and adjusted levels. Vince (Treanor) would use a reel-to-reel recorder and just raw fed some well-placed microphones. To my knowledge, all the Bright Midnight releases are from this kind of source which is really evident in the Boston shows released a couple of years back. Jim’s mic goes out during Alabama Song and you still hear him faintly over the music… pretty impressive stuff.”

This concert comes a week before the Doors’ performance at the Isle Of Wight. Whoever did the cover art and titled this “Jimbo’s Blues” must be referencing the Miami incident as Jim’s mugshots are on display on the cover art. That sense of despondency is clear in the ragged singing. The recording industry was rewarding hard rock and heavy metal for bringing in large crowds but The Doors’ revolution was not to be encouraged.

THE DOORS - Live At The Matrix 1967

The Doors – Live At The Matrix 1967 (2008)



When the Doors were playing at the Matrix club in San Francisco on March 7 and March 10 of 1967, unofficial tapes were made of their performances. Music from four sets (two each night) of these gigs has long been available on bootleg, and a couple tracks did show up on the Doors’ 1997 box set. This two-CD package, however, marks the first official release of material from these shows in bulk. They represent the earliest concert recordings of the band that have been made available, dating from just two months after the release of their debut album (and a few months before the “Light My Fire” single would catch on and make them superstars). While this by no means has the complete recordings from these two nights that have circulated on bootleg, it does contain one version of every single song captured on the tapes. The sound quality, too, is substantially improved from those bootlegs (though it’s not true, as the liner notes claim, that all of those bootlegs had “the worst quality imaginable”). If it’s not quite up to the level of the fidelity heard on most official live albums (or even some more adeptly recorded Doors live shows from later in their career that have seen official release), the instruments and vocals come through pretty well, and can easily be listened to for pleasure as well as historical archival value.

More important than the technical and discographical details, however, is the quality of the performances themselves. And while they’re occasionally a bit ragged, and certainly not as sleek and cleanly balanced as their studio recordings, you could make an argument for this as the finest Doors live release, from the musical if not the fidelity point of view. For these are the Doors, and Jim Morrison in particular, when they were still hungry and eager to make an impression, with little of the somewhat self-parodying theatricalism that Morrison would sometimes lapse into on-stage after reaching superstardom. There are lean, urgent versions of most of the songs from their classic debut album, as well as, more surprisingly, about half the numbers from the yet-to-be-released Strange Days. “Unhappy Girl,” “Moonlight Drive,” “My Eyes Have Seen You,” “People Are Strange,” and “I Can’t See Your Face in My Mind” especially have notably sparer arrangements, betraying the band’s roots as more of a straight-ahead rock outfit prior to these songs getting effectively psychedelicized studio treatments. There’s even a version of one tune, “Summer’s Almost Gone,” that they’d wait until their third album, Waiting for the Sun, to put on a studio LP.

Filling out the set are a good number of cover tunes that the Doors didn’t release in the ’60s, including several blues and R&B covers. While these have their interest for documenting aspects of their repertoire that aren’t fully evident from their studio albums, they also reveal the group to be much less interesting when playing such cover tunes — among them “Money,” John Lee Hooker’s “Crawling King Snake,” Lee Dorsey’s “Get out of My Life Woman,” and Them’s “Gloria” — than they were when doing their own material. Still, even these selections include some standouts, especially a burning version of “Who Do You Love” that outdoes the more laid-back one on Absolutely Live, and an instrumental version of “Summertime” that gives Ray Manzarek a chance to showcase his organ chops. It’s also odd to hear such a cool, almost non-reception from the sparse audience, giving the impression the Doors were playing to a near-empty club, though they seem to be putting as much or more heart into their performance as they would later do for most of their arena concerts. All told, it’s an excellent document of their early days that’s strongly recommended to Doors fans. It would have been even neater for hardcore fanatics had all four sets from the two nights been included, but admittedly the elimination of multiple versions and resequencing makes this a much more listenable product for the general audience.

Excpert taken from Stephen Davis' book on Jim Morrison p. 279-281:

The Doors were in New York for a few days before flying to London on September 5. Jim called Pamela and asked her to be with him. She parked her Jaguar XKE at a one-hour meter at LAX and flew to JFK. the cops towed the car the following day and found a pound of high-test marijuana in the trunk. Pam was arrested when she tried to claim the car a few days later, but Max Fink (Jim's attorney) somehow got her off.

The Doors' 1968 European tour was a considerable triumph. It had to be, cause the European kids were waiting ofr them. The London music paper Melody Maker was beating the drums: "Look out, England! Jim Morrison is coming to get you....Like Jagger and the Stones, Jim Morrison comes on like a fifties-style rock idol in skinthight leather trousers, but is a actually a poet of some stature....His audiences know he isn't kidding."
The Doors responded to this adulation. Almost every show and broadcast was very good, confirming their European reputation as America's coolest band. The brief tour was a testament to what Jim Morrison could still do - if he really wanted to. As it turned out, these shows also marked the end of the Doors, originally conceived. Soon, at Jim's insistence, they would mutate into another kind of group altogether.
They flew to London via Air India on September 2, 1968. The Granada TV crew met them at Heathrow Airport and filmed them as they emerged from customs. On September 5 the Doors performed "Hello, I Love You" on the BBC's Top Of The Pops TV broadcast. The next day, Friday, September 6, the Doors played the first of their two legendary nights at the Roundhouse, and old, acoustically challenged former railway barn in Chalk Farm.
The early show went off well, but the late show was a killer. Originally scheduled to begin at ten-thirty, it was delayed by the Airplane's (stunning) two-and-a-half-hour set and didn't start until after one in the morning. Many of England's pop aristocrats were there: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Cream, Traffic, and movie stars Terrence Stamp and Julie Christie. As the Granada crew filmed every song, Jim performed with a contained passion and an animal grace that surprised even the other Doors and the their crew. They began with a deadly "Five To One" and tore through seventeen songs. "The Unknown Soldier" was rapturously received by the long-haired young crowd, since the English were generally against the American presence in Vietnam. Jim cut "Crawlin' King Snake" into "Back Door Man," then took the band through an abridged but dramatic "Celebration Of The Lizard" that brought down the house. After "Hello, I Love You," they went into "Moonlight Drive," during which Jim recited "Horse Latitudes." After a howling ovation, the Doors came back and jammed on "Money" until the gray London September dawn suddenly broke through the Roundhouse's glass skylights, an epiphany for everyone present.
After a few hours rest, the Doors held an afternoon press conference at London's Institute for Contemporary Art, where Jim thoughtfully fielded questions and deflected political criticism by saying that songs like "Unknown Soldier" spoke for themselves. Densmore: "Jim dazzled the reporters with his rhetoric. He controlled the conversation with long pauses between sentences while he weighed his answers. You could see the wheels turning as he took the maximum time tolerable before responding.
When a riporter aksed about comparisons with Mick Jagger, Jim answered: "I've always thought comparisons were useless and ugly. It's a shortcut to thinking." Another asked about fans coming to him for advice. "I get incredible letters," Jim said, warming to the subject. "But they teach me how to live rather than me teaching them. My fans are intelligent youngsters. Very sensitive people."
That night they again played two shows at the Roundhouse. the Airplane, the English rock singer Terry Reid, and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown played first. Robby Krieger had gotten over his jet lag and treated the audience to a psychedelic guitar display that burned with fire and originality. The second show again finished at dawn with a half-hour reading of "the End," during which the crowd sat quietly transfixed, as if they were attending a solemn rite.
Jim later said this second Roundhouse show was the Doors' zenith performance. He told New Musical Express, "The audience was one of the best I've ever have. In the States, they're there to enjoy themselves asmuch as they came to hear you. But at the Roundhouse, they were there to listen. It was like going back to the roots. It stimulated us. They took me by surprise, because I expected them to be little resistant, a little reserved. We'd been cautioned there might be hostility toward an American group. But they were fantastic, is all I can say. It was probably the most informed, receptive audience I've ever seen in my life. I think I enjoyed the Roundhouse more than any other date for years."    http://fp.io/af7ee25a/
