The Doors

By May 8, 1970, when The Doors performed at Cobo Arena in Detroit, they were riding high from the release of their album 'Morrison Hotel,' which came out earlier that year in February. This album marked a return to their rock roots after the more experimental 'The Soft Parade.' Fans were excited to hear classic tracks like 'Roadhouse Blues' and 'Peace Frog,' which showcased the band's raw energy, and that electric vibe was palpable during the live set. Interestingly, this concert occurred just months before Jim Morrison's infamous Miami incident, highlighting the band's tumultuous journey during this period. The performance is a great snapshot of their evolution, both musically and personally, cementing their status as rock legends while hinting at the controversies that surrounded them.
