On my last Ray Manzarek torrent I requested that someone seed this show
if they had it. I got the date wrong. I thought (from memory) that it was
June 18, 1975. I don't know where I got that date but it turns out it was
March 26, 1975. I found this brief, albeit great sounding, snippet of that very
performance on a trip to Greenwich Village earlier today with my family.
I believe it is soundboard. It certainly sounds so; there is no audience interference.
I based the musicians on the info in Ray's "Whole Thing Started With Rock n Roll"
CD which lists these members as the touring band in early 1975. The boot I lifted
these 3 tracks from lists the third song as "When The Music's Over/Light My Fire"
which is incorrect. Track 3 fades in during the solo section of "Bicentennial Blues"
from the aforementioned LP which takes it's chordal approach directly from
"Light My Fire" before seguing into "Fire". Then, unfortunately, the song fades out
leaving track 3 incomplete at both ends. It's too bad, really, as the beginning of
"Bicentennial Blues" is quite different from the solo part and sounds like it could
have been right at home on the next Door's LP had they stayed together long
enough to record the follow up to "Full Circle".
The rest of the "In Limbo" boot CD I got today includes The Doors in Bremen,
West Germany May 3, 1972 soundboard. I have had this performance in my
collection for many years and I will seed it at a later time; probably next week.
Please share and enjoy!
