Some sources claim that The Doors turned down playing at Woodstock because Jim Morrison hated performing out doors. In 1986, however, Ray Manzarek, explained that The Doors "never played at Woodstock because we were stupid and turned it down. We thought it would be a second class repeat of Monterey Pop Festival."
About 6 months after Woodtsock, on February 1, 1970, The Doors released their 5th studio album, Morrison Hotel, a return to the band’s roots after the experimental nature of their previous disc, Soft Parade. The band’s approach seemed to work, as Morrison Hotel reached #4 on the Billboard charts. The album also received positive critical reviews. For example, Dave Marsh, the editor of Creem magazine, wrote that the album was: "the most horrifying rock and roll I have ever heard. When they're good, they're simply unbeatable. I know this is the best record I've listened to ... so far.” While the album did not yield any top 40 singles, it did include tunes that would become staples of FM radio play, including Roadhouse Blues, Waiting For The Sun and Peace Frog. This soundboard recording captures the band on tour in support of the album on August 21, 1970, 54 years ago today.
