The Doors Bakersfield Civic Auditorium CA August 21st 1970.
"The Doors Live in Bakersfield is one of the more unique shows from The Doors during a tumultuous 1970 when Jim Morrison was on trial on trumped-up charges in Miami. The band had been playing together live for five years, and were tight enough to be able to veer into the unknown. That’s what they opted for in this California agriculture town on a hot summer night. Featuring improvisations and medleys of The Doors many beloved hits from across their albums, Live in Bakersfield is a shamanic adventure for all who listen. Recorded August 21, 1970."
Sadly we do not get the full 3 hours and 90% of this has already been rendered in very good quality via the bootleg.
Only The End is new to most fans.
There is no mention of Old Stone Road which is probably the most interesting feature of the gig as it's new and probably made up on the spot by Jim.
