The Doors

In August 1968, The Doors performed at the Hollywood Bowl, a high point in their explosive career. This concert occurred just after the release of their third studio album, 'Waiting for the Sun,' which had come out in July 1968. This album showcased a more polished sound and included hits like 'Hello, I Love You,' marking their growing popularity. Interestingly, by this time, The Doors were not only known for their music but also for the enigmatic presence of Jim Morrison, whose theatrical performances captivated audiences. The live recording of 'The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)' captures that raw, electrifying energy. It’s a moment that beautifully illustrates the intersection of rock music and counterculture, a defining moment during a decade full of social upheaval.
