The Doors - Full Concert Live in Madison Square Garden 1970

Venue: Madison Square Garden Location: New York, NY, United States Date: 1970

In January 1970, The Doors performed a live concert at Madison Square Garden, which marks a significant point in their career as they were riding the success of their fifth studio album, "Morrison Hotel," released a few months earlier in February 1970. This album showcased a return to classic rock styles and included tracks like "Roadhouse Blues," which was indeed performed at the Madison Square Garden show. The live performance highlights the band's dynamic stage presence and Jim Morrison's charismatic and often unpredictable performance style during this period. Notably, the setlist features "The Celebration of Lizard," a lengthy composition that encapsulates their experimental spirit, showcasing the band's influence on psychedelic rock. By this time, The Doors were established as major figures in rock music, with their sound evolving as they navigated the complexities of fame and artistic expression.
