Show Notes
Relieve one of the most sought-after unreleased live shows of 1970, now available for the first time. Recorded at the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium on August 21, 1970.
Hear “Love Me Two Times” live you’ve never heard it before as well as a 13-minute version of “When The Music’s Over.”
For an audience member watching the concert unfold, it probably seemed like The Doors had rehearsed everything, but many of that night’s lyrical and musical twists and turns had never been discussed by the band, let alone rehearsed. Odds are the band didn’t even have a setlist.
Recorded on a two-track reel-to-reel recorder at 33 3/4 IPS with microphones inconspicuously placed the stage by road manager Vince Trainer.
