Recorded January 17 and 18, 1970 - just a few weeks before the release of Morrison Hotel - these concerts find Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, and Ray Manzarek locked in tight as they deliver smoking takes on soon-to-be-classics from their forthcoming album, including 'Roadhouse Blues,' 'Peace Frog,' 'Ship Of Fools,' and 'Maggie M'Gill.' The shows also feature a number of driving blues covers, such as Bo Diddley's 'Who Do You Love,' Howlin' Wolf's 'Little Red Rooster,' and John Lee Hooker's 'Crawling King Snake.' 'Those were the bluesy songs we always used to do,' Krieger says.
'We probably hadn't done them in years, but we resurrected them for these shows.'
These shows represent The Doors' final New York City performances with Morrison, who passed away July 3, 1971.
