THE DOORS: LIVE AT HOLLYWOOD BOWL `68
The July 5th 1968 gig by The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl was one of their best performances, and provided one of their best live recordings. The Doors keyboarder Ray Manzarek wanted to put the viewer right up on stage with the band, crafting a concert film that gets right up close to Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Manzarek.
Screened as part of the Open Air LOUD & FAMOUS. Free Admission.
