The Doors

On November 2, 1968, The Doors performed at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Ohio. By this time, they were riding high on the success of their third studio album, "Waiting for the Sun," which had been released just a few months earlier in July. This album showcased their evolving sound and saw the band experimenting more with production techniques, pushing the boundaries of rock music. Interestingly, this live recording captures the band's raw energy during a period when they were becoming known for their unpredictable performances, driven by Jim Morrison's charismatic yet erratic presence. 1968 was also a pivotal year as they were gaining a reputation not just for their music but for their counterculture persona, which was reflected in their daring live shows. This Columbus concert serves as a vivid snapshot of The Doors at a time when they were solidifying their iconic status.
