Side six features a recording made during sound check preceding the show
On July 21, 1969, The Doors lit up the Aquarius Theatre in Hollywood with one of their most electrifying and underrated performances. The Doors Live at the Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance captures the band at their peak.
The band has teamed with Analogue Productions to release the project as a 180-gram 3-LP set on November 21st. Limited to two thousand numbered copies and pressed at Quality Record Pressings, the edition features a 2016 mix by longtime Doors engineer Bruce Botnick. The result is a crystal-clear listening experience that brings new life to that summer night in ’69. The six-sided set also features a recording made during sound check preceding the show.
“The new mix is a revelation… The resulting clarity gives this concert new life – and as a bonus, side six features material from the soundcheck that preceded the show,” Botnick says.
The band shared the news on its socials yesterday (Tues, Oct 14th) morning, with the set selling out quickly.
