Uploaded by Porsche to Trader's Den in September, 2007.
Originally both early and late shows were included but since having the pre-fm source (purported master clone) of the late show (also provided by Porsche) in superior quality to other circulating versions, it has been left off.
"Here are both of The Doors' 1968 Stockholm shows on 2 CDs. They were originally broadcast on Stockholm's Radiothuset radio station. The first CD contains the complete early show recording and comes from three different bootleg sources. The opening track is from "The Beautiful Die Young" LP which has a few extra seconds before the announcer comes on. The bulk of the show comes from the "Live In Stockholm 1968" CD release. The bass was really high on this bootleg so I did some slight EQing to bring the bass down and bring up the high ends. I also swapped the channels to match up with the Stockholm master tapes and to match with the late show recording. The last track from the early show comes from the "Apocalypse Now" bootleg and has been speed-corrected. Note on the early show: Jim's mic cuts out during "When The Music's Over" due to a technical glitch on the original recording and his vocals are buried for most of the song. The second CD contains the complete late show recording and comes from a speed-corrected version of the "Apocalypse Now" bootleg. I also did some amplification to get the best sound. These both seem to be the best sources currently available for the Stockholm shows. The Doors have yet to release these shows because they still seem to be working out a deal with Swedish Radio for the rights. Until then, these bootleg recordings are the best we have. Thanks to Christophe and TheDoorsMusic for all their help with this material, and to www.TheFreedomMan.com Forum where this was first shared." Porsche

"The Doors' European tour ended on Friday, September 20, 1968, in Stockholm, Sweden. The Airplane, Terry Reid, and the Savoy Brown opened. The Doors show featured the rarely performed "Love Street," plus "Wake Up!" and "The Hill Dwellers" from "Celebration." The second set featured "The Ballad Of Mack The Knife" as a prelude to "Alabama Song." Both show were taped for later broadcast on Sweden's main pop station, Radiohuset.
Many Doors fans feel these final Scandinavian concerts were the last true Doors shows, with a bardic singer in full command of his powers, a potent icon of desire, an agent of change in the original, leather-clad package, still looking like a romantic lord and basically playing it straight. Soon Jim Morrison would force changes that made sure the Doors would never be the same again.
The Doors flew back to London on their way home. Jim settled into placid domesticity with Pamela in an expensive furnished flat (and remained there at the Belgravia Hotel through October 20th) overlooking the private gardens of Eaton Square. They invited Ray and Dorothy Manzarek to breakfast, and Ray was pleased to see Jim at ease for once, cooking bacon and eggs for them, squeezing juice, and making tea. He wrote later that it was the most adult thing he'd ever seen Jim and Pam do. "They invited us over for breakfast. It was the most adult thing I ever saw Jim and Pam do. I was so proud of them. They were a couple. A man, and a woman, a unit, making breakfast for their friends. Bacon, fried eggs, toast with imported strawberry jam from Poland, and French roast coffee. They seemed quite at home and quite happy. It was the calmest and happiest I'd seen Jim since his "nervous breakdown" (Light My Fire p.298-299). On September 23, probably at the invitation of George Harrison, Jim visited the Beatles at EMI's Abbey Road studio, where they were recording the The White Album. Some Beatles experts claim that Jim can be heard singing backing vocals on archival outtakes of "Happiness Is a Warm Gun," but his name does not appear on the seemingly meticulous studio production logs for that date. On October 4, Jim and Pamela watched the independent ITV network's broadcast of Granada's documentary, The Doors Are Open. This was a ten-song digest from the last Roundhouse show (on September 6th), intervowen with material from the London press conference and an interview with Jim. the producers also spliced in footage from antiwar demonstrations and from Vietnam, using the Doors' performance as a template for reportingpolitical dissent and generational revolt. Jim said later that he didn't think much of the film, but that the British filmmakers had made the best of what they had to work with. Jim walked for miles throughout London. Notebook notations mark the names of places he visited: Cheyne Walk in Chelsea, the Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, the bookstores in Charing Cross Road, Mayfair, Spitalfields, the bright lights of Leicester Square. He stopped to listen to a young violinist in a rag hat playing in front of the Royal Court Theater in SloaneSquare. Jim and Pam ate roast beef and Yorkshire pudding at Simpson's, and went to the movies: Rosemary's Baby, The Trip, Blow Up, Weekend."

"Howard Smith: Are audiences the same everywhere?
Jim Morrison: Nope, they're not. They're not the same. In London, they're very, very hip over there and in Frankfurt I noticed that they were quite rude. The people in Stockholm were nice, Mexico City, well, you know, rather boisterous, you know, they drink a lot, and really, you know, yell and everything. We're gonna try and go to Japan for that expo thing to play there and we're gonna go to Australia and ... I like traveling around, you know. That's the best part of this business, this ... you know, you get to change your locale a lot."
