With its high-quality FLAC audio format, this release offers a unique listening experience that captures the energy and intensity of the band's live performance. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering The Doors, this release is sure to provide hours of listening pleasure.

Producer Paul A. Rothchild and engineer Bruce Botnick famously pulled off a massive technical feat to assemble this release. Because Morrison’s onstage behavior between 1968 and 1970 was incredibly erratic, Rothchild had to edit together the best individual segments from different shows—including stops in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Copenhagen. Rothchild once noted that there were over 2,000 edits across the compilation to create seamless, definitive live versions of their catalog.
