Notes

Soundboard Master Reel > ? > CDRx (clean)

This is the first reel of The Doors' recording at the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium on August 21, 1970. All circulating copies seem to have a sketchy lineage though we do know The Doors leaked this reel in an effort to use it as trade bait to acquire rare recordings for their Bright Midnight label. So it's likely not too far from the master, especially if the leaked copy was a master clone on CDR.

The unsurfaced second reel is said to contain "Light My Fire" and "The End" in addition to "Love Me Two Times" and perhaps some other songs. Hopefully, if The Doors ever decide to officially release this show (and so far they've said they won't), we'll get to hear the rest of this great recording.
