The Doors Live in Boston Performing When the Music is Over
On November 30, 1969, The Doors delivered a powerful performance in Boston, showcasing their live energy in a time when their career was on a significant upswing. Just before this recording, they had released their self-titled debut album in 1967, followed by the iconic 'Strange Days' in 1967, and their critically acclaimed 'Waiting for the Sun' in 1968. By 1969, they were riding high off the success of 'The Soft Parade.' This live recording captures the band during a period marked by experimentation and controversy, especially given Jim Morrison's wild stage presence and poetic lyricism. Interestingly, this performance highlights their evolving sound and the tension between commercial success and artistic expression, making it a memorable snapshot of where The Doors stood as a band.
