The Doors - 1968 - Singer Bowl A hot, humid night in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, New York. The date was Friday, August 2nd, 1968. The Singer Bowl built by the Singer Sewing Machine Company for the 1964 World's Fair was an oval-shaped arena with steep-sloped bleachers and a central rotating stage, powered by electric motors. A kind of rotating theater-in-the-round. This night would be the kick-off show for that summer's New York Rock Festival, which extended through the month of August. There were three bands booked to play. Absent from the handbill circulating throughout the city was a local act, Kangaroo. Next up was a British band still somewhat underground to American audiences, in spite of having already released several records they called themselves the Who. Headlining the show was a group whose favorite crowds were in the Big Apple, though they originated across the continent in Los Angeles. That, of course, was the Doors. 01 - Backdoor Man 02 - Five To One 03 - Break On Through 04 - When The Music's Over 05 - Vast Radiant Beach 06 - Wild Child 07 - Wake Up 08 - Light My Fire 09 - The End LINK The Doors - 1968 - Live L.A Forum There are only two known sources for this audience recording. 01 - Tell All The People 02 - Love Me Two Time 03 - Who Scared You 04 - Spanish Caravan 05 - The Crystal Ship 06 - Wild Child 07 - Touch Me LINK
