I don't think anyone in the past or future will ever be able to scream like Jim.

Oh hell no he's the best at screaming, bet it scared the hell out of Robby sometimes

I've been listening to The Doors for over thirty years: just heard 'L.A. Woman' live for the first time tonight. From another concert here, on KZbin. It's great. Like being young again.

[@jasonwright7513]

And this is a damn good one.

[@nolen10100]

People often forget Jim had just turned 25 a few months prior. He didn't act much crazier than all the people I grew up around. He drank more obviously but he was a young man. People act like it was outrageous for him to act that way and he should've known better but damn, he was merely a young man exploring life and setting his boundaries.

[@zyrrhos]

A couple of my friends didn't make it out their 20s either. One in particular was always pushing boundaries, and was dead at 26 after one particularly reckless night involving drugs and alcohol.

[@Bad_dabber]

[@dynjarren8355]

He didn’t set any boundaries. He became a serious alcoholic. He used to be drinking buddies with Alice Cooper and Keith Moon. Alice Cooper quit drinking to save his life. And Ray wrote that he tried to drink with Jim one night but he couldn’t keep up the pace. Jim drank from the morning until night. Ray gave up trying.

Track 16 is perhaps more accurately titled as "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", although Jim's taken liberty with the lyrics as he obviously didn't know much of them.

you serious? he's wasted drunk. they were 100 times better 66-68

[@richardheinz]

I love these 2 hour shows. Most shows back then were only an average of 1 hour. It wasn't often when bands played for more than an hour. The Doors were great when they played this long because Jim wanted to be there and didn't want to stop.

[@firstlastname3865]

This is fantastic.... I collect digital copies (FLAC) of these amateur concert recordings & would donate one of my kidneys for a good 24-bit digital transfer of this tape.

Been a great few years for collectors of the doors music . Palace in the canyon last year , London fog and Allen theatre this year . Thanks .

[@alexbrewer5799]

Sometimes a good audience tape beats the fixed-up stuff. Sometimes. And especially with a band like the Doors, where the "soul" of the music shines through on a good night. Thanks for this rare treasure !

[@ajisstillright]

Indeed,yes

[@zenpaganwarrior]

I agree!

[@jcrock8517]

Beautiful free form playing on Light my fire….rarely played the same way twice in the bands live performances 😮

[@strangersname]

This Cleveland show -- and the Toronto festival in '69 -- are the two best Doors shows I've ever heard. (The Roundhouse and Aquarius shows come close) They're simply on fire here and Morrison is obviously enjoying himself and the crowd and vice-versa. Robbie was a prodigy and rather unsung as a '60s guitar avatar. Uncanny how he and Morrison could read each other! Telepathy for sure.

[@philo240]

After hearing their last two performances in TX & LA, it's amazing how quickly JM declined in under a year whether from the burden of the Miami trial or just plain sick of performing onstage compared to pursuing writing/poetry or a combination of both. As Ray would say after their last incomplete N.O. gig, he witnessed the spirit just leaving Jim's body. And yes, although Ray & Robbie were the nucleus of the band, Jim & Robbie seemed to have the best chemistry onstage.

[@JoanneGlasspoole]

Amazing show! Jim was in excellent form!!

[@errorsofmodernism9715]

[@ditariipushkinit]

It's a rare miracle that we hear these materials. The Doors were special with their music, they sang without filters, they sang the way we talk in everyday life with each other, without filters, in May 2022 I was in Paris, I couldn't leave without going to Jimi's grave, as soon as I faced Jimi's grave I was overcome by a very special feeling, I was overcome by emotions, I greeted all my friends.

[@Icanbyorsuprman1]

I love these live shows popping up.

[@rogeliidesantiago7653]

Es una joya este concierto y aun más escucharlo en tape es más autentico. Escuchar al rey lagarto en cada concierto su voz magica y mistica y no hat que dejar a una lado Manzarek con su forma unica de tocar el bajo en el teclado, Krieger con sus notas phsicodelicas con la lira y Densmore en la bataca con sus sonidos de jubilo. Escuchar a The Doors realmente es estar en una ceremonia donde Jim es siempre el anfitrión, y toda la atención es hacia su actuación de Shaman cada, por eso cada concierto son autenticos y diferentes uno de otro, este es una verdadera obra de Arte hecha por The Doors of Perceptión. "La musica de los beatles y de los rolling es para hacerte perder la cabeza, pero la musica de The Doors es para cuando ya la tienes perdida!!!" Ea inigualable y única.

Loving Jim's sermon. 1st time I've heard that and it was magical. THEN a section of 'Celebration' with different lyrics! 'Light My Fire' is the cherry on top. What a night this must have been.

[@brianleupold8333]

Man what a gift! Thank you for this 70s gem. Even though BM dug into the archive there are still shows out there, ie Eagles Auditorium, Alternate Singer, second half of Bakersfield. This Cleveland show I had no clue existed so its a special surprise for any fan of The Doors. Great energy, and a solid audience recording, what more can you say but THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@apollomemories7399]

Greg Shaw's book "The Doors On The Road" is useful for concert tapes info, although strangely his track listing for this show differs.

[@brianleupold8333]

That's odd Shaws book has been for the most part quite accurate

[@ff441980fredcrowe]

Good Doors’ concert. Morrison is in a good mood, band is tight, in tune and on key. The audience is receptive.

[@mojorisin1970]

Wow the most bizzare version of Celebration of the Lizard, just before light my fire. This is just a glimpse to remind us that many of the doors best show were probably show's that we never heard or weren't recorded. For the sake of history this was uncovered to reveal Jim in one of his most unique moods. He certainly seems very focused.

[@jallen3265]
