The Doors

In April 1969, The Doors were riding high on the success of their self-titled debut album and follow-up, 'Strange Days,' which had cemented their place in rock history. Most notably, just months prior to this PBS interview, they released their third album, 'Waiting for the Sun,' which featured the hit 'Hello, I Love You.' By this point, the band was grappling with the intense fame and public scrutiny that came with being rock icons, especially Jim Morrison, whose enigmatic persona often stole the spotlight. The interview, part of the PBS Critique series, delves into their creative process and personal dynamics, offering fans a rare glimpse into the minds behind the music. Fans might find it fascinating that this interview took place just as they were preparing to embark on a major tour, signaling a transformative moment for The Doors and their evolving sound.
