The Doors: Live at the Matrix 1967: The original masters ltd num

LP Record Early in their career, The Doors played in a small, unassuming club called the Matrix, owned by Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane. Back then, the rule was that bands from L.A. had to play at the Matrix when they came to San Francisco – as a 'tax' and a tribute to the bands that built the local scene. The Doors willingly obliged, and co-owner Peter Abram recorded two of the band's performances on 7th and 10th March 1967. The set includes The Doors' soon-to-be-popular cover 'Gloria' and blues favourites like 'Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)', which would come to define their influence and sound as they worked on originals like 'Break on Through (To The Other Side)'.
