Title:
Live in Boston 1970
Description:
Live in Boston is a triple CD live album by American rock band the Doors released in 2007. It was recorded at the Boston Arena on April 10, 1970, during the band’s Roadhouse Blues Tour. The band performed two shows, one starting at 7 pm and a second scheduled for 10 but not actually starting until past midnight. Jim Morrison appears to be intoxicated during the entire latter show, and continued drinking heavily throughout the performance. The late start ended with the venue’s owners cutting power to the stage to force the end of the concert.
Ray Manzarek, the band’s keyboardist recalls the concert as ”manic, wild, crazy, intoxicated … the shaman was intoxicated in Boston. I don’t know if you’re allowed to even be a shaman in Boston. But Morrison sure as hell did it! Still, as intoxicated as Jim was, it was never a problem. Even in his most intoxicated state, he’d hit the musical cues. When we’d play ”Light my Fire”, you could solo as long as you wanted — and sometimes we did! — and then Jim would scream, improvise, add poetry, or whatever, sang some things that he felt like doing.
The album was released from the Bright Midnight Archives collection which contains a number of previously unreleased live concerts by the Doors
