The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl
Live at the Hollywood Bowl
The entire concert was recorded using several cameras and is one of only two professionally recorded live performances of the band in color (the other being Live at The Isle of Wight Festival 1970). The Doors' long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick recorded the concert direct from the soundboard onto an 8-track machine.
Isle of Wight
Isle of Wight
The concert was recorded at the Isle of Wight Festival in England on August 30, 1970. It was the group's final appearance as a foursome outside of the US and also the last full filming of a Doors concert. The Guinness Book of Records estimated the total attendance at between 600,000 and 700,000 people. Morrison barely moved. Hanging over Morrison was his trial for lewd and lascivious behavior from a March 1, 1969, concert in Miami.
Densmore said of Morrison, "He was like a pot of boiling water with a lid on top. He didn't move a lot, but he sang really strong." Manzarek said of the show, "Our set was subdued but very intense. We played with a controlled fury and Jim was in fine vocal form. He sang for all he was worth, but moved nary a muscle. Dionysus had been shackled."
