07. The End

A rare audience recording from 1969 (rare in the sense that few recordings from 1969 exist since The Doors didn’t play many shows in the aftermath of the Miami incident). This is a first generation recording. There are a few bootlegs out there that feature songs from this night and none of them sound quite this good. The drums come through terrifically and Jim’s vocals are right up in the mix. The guy who taped this show must have been right near the stage.

This show contains a unique “Back Door Man” medley where Jim includes lyrics from “Roadhouse Blues” and “Maggie M’Gill.” Definitely worth a listen. Though only 7 tracks, the show lasts for about an hour thanks in part to a long version of “The End,” where Jim explains how proud he feels to be performing “on the same stage with so many illustrious musical geniuses.”
