The Doors: Live at Konserthuset, Stockholm September 20, 1968

An excellent companion piece to the comparably memorable Live in Bakersfield August 21, 1970 (Rhino, 2023) and Live At The Matrix 1967: The Original Masters (Rhino, 2023), Live at Konserthuset, Stockholm September 20, 1968 features a live radio broadcast from September 20, 1968.

Ray speaks of Dorothy, his grandchildren, his life with The Doors, of Jim and Pam and of his own future. Upbeat and lively, Ray and I were laughing ...
