The Doors - 'When The Music's Over' Live Performance (Official Video)

Date: 1968

On January 1, 1968, The Doors were at a pivotal moment in their career, having released their second studio album, "Strange Days," just a few months earlier in September 1967. This album showcased the band's distinctive psychedelic rock sound and included the iconic track "When The Music's Over." By this time, The Doors had already gained significant attention with their self-titled debut album released in early 1967, which featured the hit "Light My Fire." The performance of "When The Music's Over," known for its poetic lyrics and dark themes, exemplified Jim Morrison's dynamic stage presence and the band's ability to create intense musical experiences. The period surrounding this live recording was crucial as The Doors were firmly establishing their reputation as one of the leading artists of the late '60s rock scene, turning their performances into groundbreaking explorations of music and live art.
