A CELEBRATION
67-68
0.5TAPE(?gen) 7.5-8.5
Miscellaneous
A collection of TV-performances (Ed Sullivan,
Smothers Brothers and Jonathan Winters show) from 1967 and 1968, plus
two live songs from LA 5jul68. The TV performances have quite nice
sound quality and the live stuff is even better.
Tracks:
Light My Fire (Ed Sullivan Show, 1967) / Touch Me (Smother Brothers
Show, 1968) / When The Music's Over (LA, 7 May 1968) / The End (LA, 7
May
1968) / Moonlight Drive (Jonathan Winters Show, 27 Dec 1967) / Light My
Fire
(Jonathan Winters Show, 27 Dec 1967)
* THE MATRIX (67)
7mar67,10mar67
2.5TAPE(1gen) / 4CD(r) 9.5 The Matrix
Club, San Francisco
Some fine performances of the band in their
early days. These shows were visited by only a handful of people.
Martin Balin (Jefferson Airplane's lead vocalist) was the owner of the
place at the time and had a reel-to-reel device installed to record
some of the Airplane's rehearsals. The doors used this to record some
of their shows resulting
in extremely good sound quality on these tapes . These shows took place
before the release of their first single ('Light My Fire') so these
recordings
are really historical. Apart from all this, the shows were awesome! A
real
pleasure.
Recommended!
I had these tapes transferred to CDr.

1.5TAPE(?gen) 8.5
Stockholm, Sweden
Two shows, broadcast on Swedish radio. First
show is about 40 minutes. The second show is about 75 min. Both have
only faint audience noise. The track listing for both shows does have
some overlap. There is some distortion concerning the vocals, because
Jim Morrison at times screams too loud in his microphone.
Tracks:
Side 1:
Five To One / Love Street / Love Me Two Times / When The Music's Over /
A
little Game / The Hill Dwellers / Light My Fire / Unknown Soldier
Side 2:
Five To One / Alabama Song-Mack The Knife / Back Door Man / You're Lost
Little Girl / Love Me Two Times / When The Music's Over / Wild
Child / Money
Side 3:
Wake Up / Light My Fire / The End
* ROCK IS DEAD (69)
1969
TAPE(?gen) 8.5 Studio(?)
Don't know much about this tape, except that it
contains some awesome doors stuff. Heck, don't even know the
track listing for this. It does contain songs like 'Petition The Lord',
Elvis's 'Love Me Tender', something that might be called 'Rock Is Dead'
and 'Train Song'.
Sound is pretty good but it is a bit high gen. tape making it a little
muffled, but not too bad.
Filler is a 10min recording of the doors at Winterland, SF on 6feb70.

CD 9 Center Coliseum,
Seattle
This is the complete recording of the Seattle
tapes except for the encore, which was never recorded. Most 'cookies'
only have an edited version (e.g. Train Jam is cut down to only a few
minutes, where this one contains the complete 27 min (part I &;
II)). There is a little bit of print through on the right channel, but
only noticeable at very soft parts.
Tracks;
disk 1:
Hitler(poem) / roadhouse Blues / Back doorman / When The Music's Over /
Someday
Soon / Train Jam I (including People Get Ready, Baby Please Don't
go) / Train Jam II (including Mystery Train, Crossroads) / Five To
One / Break On Through

Complete show from the new incarnation of the
Doors, officially labelled as ´The Doors Of The 21st
Century´ with Ian Asbury on vocals and Stewart Copeland on
drums. John Doe does some poetry reading on ´Ghost
Song´and ´The Hill Dwellers´. Ian sure knew his
classics as his performance is very much like Jim Morrison would have
done it. During ´Light My fire Robbie Krieger plays an
awesome guitar solo with ´Elenore Rigby´ tease. Waylon
Kreiger plays guitar on ´Roadhouse Blues´ in the
encore.´This was the first public appearance of the Doors since
the
early seventies (apart from a private rehearsal a few days earlier).
Sound is not too bad but a little bit distorted at some louder parts.
