The Doors

In the spring of 1968, The Doors were riding high on the success of their self-titled debut album and its follow-up, 'Strange Days.' Just a month before the live recording at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, they released 'The Soft Parade,' which would further cement their place in the rock pantheon. This era was marked by Jim Morrison's captivating stage presence, which turned each performance into a mix of poetry and rock music. Interestingly, the 'Horse Latitudes' piece performed at this concert showcases Morrison's artistic side, tying together the surreal with the cerebral. This live performance not only highlights the band's evolving sound but also captures the raw energy that made them such a compelling act. It's a moment where their artistic ambition and rock roots collide, making it a must-watch for fans.
