Recorded live In Detroit (Cobo Hall, 05/08/1970). Detroit's Cobo Hall on May 8, 1970, is the setting for Live in Detroit, the first complete concert performance on the Doors' own Bright Midnight label. This is the Doors the way they deserve to be remembered -- tight and overtly bluesy. However, that oversimplification unfairly discounts the multiple sonic detours made along the way. Strange but true, this is the very first complete concert recording by the Doors to be offered for mass consumption -- allowing for some poetic justice. Live in Detroit is an initial step in removing the rumor and innuendo regarding Jim Morrison's loss of ability to perform on stage -- with the threat of an impending legal trial. No, this isn't the same trippy, hippy, psychedelic band that raised eyebrows by singing "higher" on The Ed Sullivan Show. Similarly, the world had grown in the intervening years. While this set is chocked full of early favorites such as "Break on Through," "Light My Fire," and the rarely documented "The End," the Doors' souls are full of the blues. 01 - Tuning 02 - Roadhouse Vamp 03 - Hello To The Cities 04 - Dead Cats Dead Rats 05 - Break On Through (To The Other Side) 06 - Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) 07 - Back Door Man 08 - Five To One 09 - Roadhouse Blues 10 - You Make Me Real 11 - Ship Of Fools 12 - When The Musics Over 13 - People Get Ready 14 - Mystery Train 15 - Away In India 16 - Crossroads 17 - Tuning 18 - Carol 19 - Light My Fire 20 - Been Down So Long 21 - Love Hides 22 - Mean Mustard Blues 23 - Carol (Reprise) 24 - Close To You 25 - Im A King Bee 26 - Rock Me Baby / Heartbreak Hotel 27 - The End LINK
