Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival, 1970
We swiped most of this from The Big O, as the sound of these unreleased recordings from The Isle Of Wight is pretty good (they’re originally culled from a bootleg entitled Palace Of Exile). As is their custom, O removed two tracks that are officially available, “Break On Through,” from the soundtrack to People Are Strange, and “When The Music’s Over,” from the officially released Isle Of Wight various artists 2CD, Message To Love. We did a cursory look for a complete set, but since so many files are gone, we just went ahead and reassembled it. You get the good quality unreleased stuff and the two remastered tracks. As for the show itself, the word has always been that The Doors thought it was a lethargic performance. Since they’re running out of shows to issue, expect to see it officially released sometime in the future.

Thank you so much, best wishes.
Thanks for this Captain!
I was there – sadly this dates me….
In those days a visit from a band like the Doors was manna from heaven for us English.
They played a short set as your tracklist shows.
Morrison went offstage for a lot of the instrumental parts of songs.
We thought it was brilliant but we felt that with the Miami business, they had lost a lot of enthusiasm and Morrison was maybe too worried about a possible spell in jail to perform well.
