The Doors performance from Cobo Arena, May 8, 1970 is available on 4-LP vinyl for the first time. Captured during the band’s Roadhouse Blues Tour, it was one of the band’s longer shows. In fact, the band played for an hour past curfew and were banned from the arena on future tours. The fiery set includes a number of Blues covers, including “I’m a King Bee,” Back Door Man,” Junior Parker’s “Mystery Train” and “Crossroads” by Robert Johnson. The Doors also tear through17 minute-plus versions of “The End” and “When The Music’s Over” as well as an over 19 minute version of “Light My Fire” and other rare tracks such as “Love Hides” and “Dead Cats, Dead Rats.” This collection captures the band at an absolute zenith.
