Notes

Danbury Highschool Auditorium, CT, 10/11/67

I wish that all bootleg CDs would turn up as satisfying as this one! Here is the complete concert performed at Danbury High School, Danbury, CT, October 17, 1967 in better quality than I've ever heard before. It's a rare occasion when a bootleg has better sound quality than what's available in tape trading circles!
This has always been a favorite concert of mine. The Doors' performance was excellent that night but the quality of the available tape was a little below what I could bear listening to, and so I rarely played it. While this new CD isn't exactly studio quality (and I've heard much better audience recordings), it is a chance to catch an earful of The Doors at their best in a very early venue.
The End and the Wake Up intro before Light My Fire are incredible. It's hard to find this CD in the States, but well worth it if you do.
