Comments:
After The Doors had returned from their two day concert at Chet Helm's Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, they were booked in to play at the Matrix Club, situated at 3138 Fillmore Street, San Francisco. The Doors played there from Tuesday, March 7 until Saturday, March 11 performing three sets a night with fifteen minute breaks in between each set. The Doors were scheduled to play at the Matrix Club from "9.30 p.m - 2a.m." with "Minors welcome", as advertised in the San Francisco Chronicle.
The owner of this club, Marty Balin, vocalist of Jefferson Airplane, had installed a reel to reel tape recorder to tape his own group, but The Doors took up the opportunity and decided to record their own performances as well.
All of the three sets that were played on Tuesday night were recorded. Unfortunately on Friday night, after The Doors had completed their second set and returned to play the third set, the sound engineer had apparently forgotten to turn on the tape recorder and only got to record the last portion of "The End".
These recordings at present are the most complete recordings available in their entirety with no over dubbing or shoddy recordings, just in the same way The Doors had played them during their one week performance in March. By far, these shows are one of the best live recordings that The Doors have ever recorded.
