MATRIX DOORS 2

 

It is apparent that these two Doors sets were pulled from the Complete Matrix Doors Bootleg which was 4 CD's There was an officially released version of this material in 2008 but it was produced so badly that most Doors fans were offended by the work. The record company promised an upgraded version in 2010 but so far it has not materialized
This is the only reasonable-fidelity document of the Doors before they became superstars; their first album had been out for a couple of months, but "Light My Fire" (the earliest widely circulated live version of which is here) was yet to even be released as a single. As a consequence there's a hungry edge missing from their later live gigs, and a more unpredictable set list, taking in not only most of the first album but also relatively obscure tracks from the second and third LPs, like "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" and "Summer's Almost Gone." And there's a whole bunch of cover tunes they would never release in studio versions, like "Get Out of My Life Woman," "Who Do You Love?," "Rock Me," "I'm a King Bee" (with Manzarek on vocals), "Gloria," a lengthy instrumental take on "Summertime," and "Money." There's a bar band ambiance that will take some listeners aback, and not many people in the audience, judging from the tennis match-style clapping heard at the end of most numbers. the Doors  play well, however, and the two shows are notably different from each other, although many of the same tunes appear in two different versions on this package. 

There are two tracks from Traffic at the end used as filler I left them intact until I can delete them later
