The Doors

Before this live recording at the London Fog in 1965, The Doors had just released their self-titled debut album in January 1967, which included hits like "Light My Fire" and "Break On Through (To the Other Side)." This early performance showcases their raw energy and Jim Morrison's magnetic stage presence, capturing a pivotal moment in their career when they were still gaining traction. Interestingly, "Don't Fight It" isn't one of the band's more recognized tracks, but it hints at their creative process and willingness to explore diverse styles. By this time, the band was experimenting and soon to revolutionize rock music with their unique sound, blending poetic lyrics and extended improvisation. The sound quality in this recording reflects both the era's charm and the raw, unfiltered talent that would soon catapult them into rock history.
