The Doors

By September 1968, The Doors were riding high on the success of their third studio album, "Waiting for the Sun," which had been released just months prior, in July. This live recording, captured at Konserthuset in Stockholm, showcases the band during a pivotal moment in their career where they were transitioning from their early, experimental sound to more complex compositions. Interestingly, this performance includes some of their iconic tracks like "Hello, I Love You" and "Five to One," which highlight Jim Morrison's electrifying stage presence and poetic lyricism. It's fascinating to think about how, at this point, they were becoming rock legends, but with the weight of Morrison's unpredictable behavior looming. The energy in this concert reflects a band at the height of their powers, poised for even greater fame, while also hinting at the turbulence that would follow.
