Got it from a tracker where it was hinted that it's not a commonly available recording. Unknown lineage but seems if not the lowest but pretty low generation and absolutely better sounding - because the recording is less or completely unaltered - than the ones featured on 'Boot Yer Butt' where 'Texas Radio,' 'Hello I Love You' and 'Money' appeared under over-repaired" forms. The only thing I did, is separated 'Texas Radio' from 'Crystal Ship' (they were in one track while 'Wake Up' was originally a separate track so it was logical to do that but consequently the fingerprints for track 5 is false.)

NOTES
A truly amazing night with exceptionally great performances one after the other. Only the absence of 'The End' avoids saying that the show just couldn't get any better. Jim gives an inspired and occasionaly powerful performance just like his band. In the middle of 'Break On Through' during the
silent part something had happened because Jim coughed some which earned several laughs from the audience. After that he performed with apperant determination even finishing the song unusually.
Highlights include 'Backdoor Man' which features a classic Morrison laugh, a storming version of 'Five To One,' the haunting 'Crystal Ship' following the first public appearance of Jim's poem 'Texas Radio And The Big Beat.' An impressive 'Money' - where Jim find great comfort singing it at the end
from full throat. 'When The Music's Over' is another classic and contains everything what makes The Doors so unique. The performance is filled with unpredictable moments: Jim chatting with he crowd, laughter, missung lyrics (instead of "With your ear down to the floor" he sings "Which your ear
down.."), moans, groans and improvistaions but meanwhile all this, measurable tense. The audience After the spectacular performance the audience enthusistically applauded the the band then Jim asked:
"Well, what do you guys wanna hear now?" The whole auditorium immediately began shouting requests mainly 'Light My Fire,' and 'The End.' "One at a time!" Jim requested. Then suddenly "Fuck! Oh, what do you wanna hear?" which again made the crowd laugh. After a few seconds he suddenly
bursts into "Wake Up!" which opened the closing, much requested 'Light My Fire.' The Doors are now one of the biggest bands in America and by playing and selling out arenas making over $35,000 a night.
The show (or parts) has been filmed by the Doors' film-crew.

EXCPERTS from Stephen Davis' recent book on The Doors
--------------------------------------------
"The Doors went back on the road with their film crew.
In Dallas on July 9 a laugh opened Jim Morrison's almost complete Texas Radio and the Big Beat, a new kind of poem/song inspired by the imperative preaching that Jim heard on late-night Bible Belt radio. He also taunted the cops guarding the stage, mocking them, trying to get them to overract for the film crew. In Houston, next night, he performed spontaneous verse compositions in the middle of "Back Door Man" using the routines "Can the wind have it all?" and "We tried ot so hard maybe we tried it too hard."
Poetic interjenctions in "When the Music's Over" included "Winter Photography" and "Count The Dead and Wait Till Morning," material culled from his recent notebooks. Delving into RMB to alleviate his boredom with the much requested "Crystal Ship" and "Light My Fire," Jim launched the band into Little Red Rooster" and "Who Do You Love?" Working the police again, Jim tried to get the kids rush the stage. The cops responded lining the stage, blocking the band from the crowd's view. Jim yelled out ""If you all aren't gonna come up here, I guess I'll have to try to get through 'em....This is your last chance!" The cops pulled up even tighter, surronding the band, and the show was over."p. 267
