Very early on in their career, The Doors played at a small, holeinthewall club called The Matrix, which was coowned by Jefferson Airplanersquos Marty Balin.
The rule at the time was that bands from LA had to play The Matrix when they came to San Francisco as ldquotaxrdquo and homage to the bands that built the local scene.
The Doors happily obliged, and coowner Peter Abram recorded the bandrsquos two shows ndash March 7 and March 10, 1967.
The set features soontobe beloved covers by The Doors such as ldquoGloriardquo and blues favorites like ldquoAlabama Song Whisky Bar rdquo that would define their influence and sound as they worked out originals like ldquoBreak on Through To the Other Side.rdquo The complete set from both shows was released once before, but it was discovered after release that they were taken from thirdgeneration tapes of the recordings.
In the ensuing years, The Doors have located the firstgeneration recordings, and this is the first time the sets from those nights will be released in full.
This is sure to generate discussion as highlights from the shows have been released over the years as RSD packages, and fans have been eager to have the full shows, from the 1 st generation recordings, in their collections, and they will be monitoring this release closely.
