In April 1968, The Doors released their 3rd album, Waiting For The Sun, which became their first disc to go to #1 on the Billboard charts. The album yielded the single Hello I Love You, which also reached the top spot on the charts. Waiting For The Sun also became the band’s first album to chart in the UK. The Doors played their first European shows in September 1968, including 2 shows each on September 6 and 7 at The Roundhouse in London. Download this soundboard recording of the 2nd show on July 6, 1968, 45 years ago today, to hear The Doors on their road to international stardom.
The Doors/Grateful Dead Connection
Of all the bands we are posting this month, The Doors may have the most tenuous connection to the Grateful Dead. According to Deadbase, the Doors and The Grateful Dead appeared on the same bill on 5 occasions, 3 times at The Fillmore in San Francisco in January 1967, a show in Santa Barbara in April 1967 and a festival in San Jose in May 1968. Music from The Doors and The Dead’s Mickey Hart and Bill Kretuzman both appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Apocalypse Now. Several internet sources indicate that Jerry Garcia was not too fond of Jim Morrison, which could explain the lack of connections between the 2 bands.

Love the doors speedy, one question though,some songs are listed twice, are they from the same show or another, never heard of an artist performing the same song twice in the same set,please respond and thanks a lot
The info file does not say but based on my research the tracks on CD 2 appear to be from the next night at the Roundhouse in London.
Doors boots are hard to come by! Enjoy!
