The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly because of Morrison's lyrics and his erratic stage persona, and the group was widely regarded as representative of the era's counterculture.
The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, itself a reference to a quote by William Blake. After signing with Elektra Records, the Doors released eight albums in five years, some of which are considered among the greatest of all time, including The Doors (1967), Strange Days (1967), and L.A. Woman (1971). By 1972 the Doors had sold over 4 million albums domestically and nearly 8 million singles.
Morrison died in uncertain circumstances in 1971. The band continued as a trio until disbanding in 1973. They released three more albums in the 1970s, two of which featured earlier recordings by Morrison, and over the decades reunited on stage in various configurations. In 2002, Manzarek, Krieger and Ian Astbury of the Cult on vocals started performing as the Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore and the Morrison estate successfully sued them over the use of the band's name. After a short time as Riders on the Storm, they settled on the name Manzarek–Krieger and toured until Manzarek's death in 2013.
The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold LPs. According to the RIAA, they have sold 33 million records in the US and over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. The Doors have been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including Rolling Stone, which ranked them 41st on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". In 1993, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
London Fog 1966:
Wikipedia:
London Fog 1966 is a live album by the American rock band the Doors, released on December 16, 2016 by Rhino Records. It contains a previously unreleased live performance at the London Fog in Los Angeles in May 1966. It was recorded by spectator Nettie Pena before the band released their highly successful debut album on January 4, 1967. Considered the earliest known live recording of the Doors, London Fog 1966 includes versions of eventual album tracks and covers of blues standards.
Issued to coincide with celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Doors' first album, London Fog 1966 was overseen by the band's longtime sound engineer/producer Bruce Botnick and Pena. Among the lavish packaging for the live album, each disc appears in an enlarged box set, and each copy of the set is individually numbered. While London Fog 1966 presents only a portion of the Doors' performance, it is recognized by music critics as an enthralling insight into the early history of the group as they attempted to formulate their own individual style.
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:
Doors super fan Nettie Pena recorded her favorite band during their stint as the house band at the L.A. nightclub London Fog, capturing seven songs from a performance held sometime in May 1966. These recordings sat undiscovered for years but surfaced at the tail-end of 2016, just as the Doors were scheduled to celebrate their 50th anniversary. London Fog 1966 features those seven songs, supplemented by two tracks of tunings that could've easily been excised, on CD and vinyl, accompanied with a bunch of memorabilia designed to entice collectors. Although the quality of the production is high -- the oversized box is handsome and the photo inserts and posters luxurious -- the attraction is the live music, the earliest known recording of the Doors. Over these seven songs, the Doors pledge allegiance to the blues, covering B.B. King's "Rock Me" and Muddy Waters' "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man," ending their set by stumbling through a version of "Lucille" that suggests Jim Morrison was a little reserved in comparison to Little Richard. Often, that politeness is the appeal of London Fog 1966: the Doors aren't a great blues band, emphasizing texture over rhythm, and that awkwardness is endearing on this club set. Also, this tendency reaches an unexpected fruition on "Strange Days," an original that pops up fully formed toward the end of the set. Unlike "You Make Me Real," an obvious attempt at replicating electric blues that would later resurface on Morrison Hotel, "Strange Days" is a clear progression, a statement of purpose that seems to appear out of nowhere toward the end of the set. The connection between "Strange Days" and the rest of the London Fog set is tenuous, but that's also why this collection is charming. Most of the time, the Doors are stumbling through blues and rock & roll covers, exuding a sense of confidence that exceeds their competence, then the focus suddenly sharpens and the Doors sounds like who they were at the outset: majestic and mysterious, a group with no discernible roots. Aside from these moments, London Fog showcases a band who doesn't know its own attributes, and that's why it's worthwhile: it's the sound of a band discovering its own strengths.
