The Doors

On May 10, 1968, The Doors performed at the Chicago Coliseum, capturing a pivotal moment in their career during a period of heightened popularity and artistic exploration. Just months earlier, in early 1968, they released their eponymous second album, which included classic tracks like "Light My Fire." This live recording showcases the band's dynamic stage presence and sonic experimentation, reflected in their performances of songs such as "When The Music's Over." The concert is notably remembered for escalating tensions, ultimately leading to a riot as audience members reacted passionately to the band's provocative style and Jim Morrison's unpredictable persona. This atmosphere marked a transition for The Doors, who were transitioning from chart-topping success to more controversial and boundary-pushing performances, embodying the spirit of the late 1960s counterculture.
