Thanks, Ian, I’ll have a look.

Sorry for slow reply, @Mike_S…notifications went down.
Sound is really very good, much better than some recent releases (Bakersfield). There are issues with mic dropouts at times, but these have always been there (equipment problems during the gig).
I found my copies on Ebay as I’d not been able to cruise the record shops for awhile.

Was looking yesterday for a short vid to post here in commemoration, but only found this just now. A day late but… the music’s never over:

And this trailer (sadly the film was only shown in US cinemas at the time)
Early days. Live at the Avalon, March 1967…
Not great sound, but certainly not awful.

Can’t let a mention of John Densmore pass without a link to this article from 2002, in which he explains why (as long as he’s alive) you’ll never hear a Doors song in a commercial.

Great article, thanks! I knew of John’s stance but hadn’t seen this.
I wish Doors Management under Jampol would have followed suit - Doors skateboards, baby clothes, gimmicks et al always chasing the mighty dollar 
…puke…
“No one here gets out alive”
Sigh.

Just as Ringo was THE perfect drummer for the Beatles, John Densmore was the same for the Doors.

Absolutely.
Like a glove, both.
