The Doors Perform Strange Days Live at London Fog in Los Angeles
Before the live recording at the London Fog on November 30, 1965, The Doors had just released their self-titled debut album earlier that year. This album featured the iconic track 'Light My Fire,' which would go on to become a cultural phenomenon and launch them into massive popularity. By this point, their music was already distinguishing itself with a unique blend of rock, blues, and poetry, thanks largely to Jim Morrison's magnetic stage presence and haunting vocals. The London Fog performance was one of their early gigs, showcasing the band’s raw energy and the beginnings of their improvisational style, which became a hallmark of their live shows. Interestingly, this intimate setting allowed them to connect with audiences in a way that large venues couldn't replicate later on, making it a special moment in their development.
