Historic Doors Release

Rhino and Bright Midnight archives are set to release the Doors' Live At The Matrix 1967, the latest instalment in the band's acclaimed series of archival live albums, reports Planet Rock.
While there are a number of Doors live albums this one is unique in that it was recorded prior to the band’s huge success at a show in San Francisco where just a handful of people turned up.
The double disc album contains early versions of many of the tracks that appeared on their first album, which was released later that year, alongside a number of cover versions and extended jams.
Keyboardist Ray Manzarek says of the album "It was early 1967 and The Doors were about to enter the consciousness of the nation. And this is the way it sounded."
