The Doors - When The Music's Over Live Performance at Hollywood Bowl
Venue: Hollywood Bowl
Location: Hollywood, CA, United States
Date: August 8, 1968
In 1968, The Doors were riding high on the success of their self-titled debut and the iconic 'Strange Days' album, released just the previous year. By the time they played at the Hollywood Bowl on August 8, 1968, they were deep into their career, known for their provocative lyrics and Jim Morrison's magnetic stage presence. This performance of 'When The Music's Over' is particularly electrifying, showcasing both the band's improvisational skills and Morrison's poetic delivery. Interestingly, this concert was part of a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their transition to larger venues and solidifying their status as a major act in rock history, just before they faced the challenges that would come in their later years.
