Bakersfield 1970 SYNCED footage. Great One!

San Francisco, Winterland 26-12-1967 (Remastered)

Audience recording of The Doors' show at San Francisco's Winterland Arena on 26 December 1967. Very good for such an early audience recording - a bit distant, and people nearby talk (not too intrusively) for much of the show, but clear and undistorted.

Cool Edit Pro 2.1 was used to select a portion of the extraneous hiss/noise - a stretch of it with no music at the start was used as a template: the exact noise, and nothing more, was then removed from the whole recording. It's not noise reduction in the usual sense, and the treble has emerged largely unscathed.

Several other edits have been made -
1. Back Door Man - there was an initial spike in volume and levels were reduced quickly - the volume has been normalised to the rest of the song. A dropout in the left channel at this point was corrected (sound from right channel used). The first chords of the song were missing, and have been substititued using the same notes from shortly afterwards.
2. Break on through - a brief volume fluctuation occurred after the start - the volume was raised to compensate (though the fault is still audible)
3. When the Music's over - the taper's appreciative yell during the applause has been reduced in volume so it's not so intrusive. From 13:40, the right channel's volume reduced markedly - this has been corrected
4. Close to you - nothing!
5. Mannish Boy - a continuity break at 2:29 (tape flip) has been smoothed out (it's still noticeable).
6. Light my Fire - from a different source; volume normalised and a repetition at the start edited out. Abrupt cut at end given a minor fade

im Morrison/Bob Chorush Interview - Los Angeles, CA

Bob Chorush's complete (and long) interview with Jim Morrison for the Los Angeles Free Press. Jim shares a lot of interesting information and is more conversational than in earlier interviews. This comes from the best low gen source available for this recording and is split into 35 tracks. Also heard on the tape are photographer Andy Kent and the Elektra publicity rep who set up the interview, Pat Faralla. Regarding the date: The article this tape originates from was printed on January 15, 1971. As a result, it was long believed the interview dated from early 1971. However, Chorush recently stated in an email that he remembered conducting the interview in early December 1970. Also, during the interview, Jim asks if the movie "Gimme Shelter" had been released yet, to which Chorush says he isn't sure but thinks it will be coming out soon. The movie originally premiered on December 6, 1970 across the country. This all adds up to a possible date in the first week of December for the interview, a month earlier than previously thought.
