Sun. January 18, 1970 (2nd Show)

THE ROADHOUSE BLUES TOUR (1 of 8 shows)

This very successful series of concerts at The Felt Form, a smaller venue inside the MadisonSquare Garden Complex, allows the band to perform in a more intimate setting than the Garden would allow, similar to the ambience of the Aquarius Theater show the previous summer.The Doors are in form. They gone back to their earth, their roots, way back to those 1967 Whisky moments in LA, where the singer and musicians come together in a tightly interwoven package of melodic delight. They have given up the orchestral stuff and didn't do one song from The Soft Parade album (except for "the semenary school" passage).Mike Jahn, New York Times Jan 19, 1970: "At least two dozen teen age girls and a quiete few boys had to be dragged away from the Doors' singer, Jim Morrison, by stagehands. The other three Doors played on unperturbed. Mr. Morrison has had troubles before when the police of other cities found his performances variously lewd, lascivious, indecent and profane. But by the standards of the Off-Broadway stage, Morrison's performance is fairly tame. The Doors played their familiar songs quiete well, much better than in the last year's concert in the Garden."
Billboard (Jan 31, 1970)reporter Fred Kirby reports: "The Elektra Records artists actually were more businesslike than often has been their wont, but Morrison conveyed none of his famed eroticism. His voice, however, was distinctive whether singing or screaming. The concentration was on blues
and simple rock. "Light My Fire", which gave organist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger good instrumental bits, was a fitting climax".
Memorable nights that evoke the whole gamut of human emotions, will not to be forgotten for a long time to come.
