The Doors

In April 1967, The Doors delivered a thrilling live performance at The Matrix in San Francisco, shortly after the release of their groundbreaking self-titled debut album. With tracks like "Light My Fire" soaring up the charts, the band was becoming a major force in the rock scene. This recording captures a pivotal moment in their early career, showcasing their raw energy and improvisational prowess. Interestingly, the set at The Matrix is particularly notable because these original tapes had been largely buried for years, only to resurface for this remastered release. The intimacy of the small venue also allowed for a unique interaction between the band and their audience, highlighting Jim Morrison's magnetic stage presence during a time when The Doors were rapidly transitioning from a local sensation to international icons.
