Live at the Matrix 1967
On November 22, 2008, recording engineer Peter Abram revealed in an online posting the equipment he used to record The Doors at The Matrix. "I used an Akai tape recorder (tubes), 4 Calrad mics on the stage and a Calrad mic mixer on the instrumental channel. On the vocal channel: a Knight mixer with 3 Electrovoice 676 and Shure mics. The Calrad mics that I used on the instrumental track were model DM-21" said Abram.

Long available on bootleg, Live at the Matrix captures the Doors in the period just before Light My Fire made them stars. Here they perform their debut, some blues standards and much of what would become Strange Days in a near-empty LA nightclub. There's a ghostly, eerie atmosphere as storming renditions of Soul Kitchen and The Crystal Ship are met with polite applause. Although Back Door Man hints at sexual deviance, Jim Morrison has not yet discovered the Dionysian power that made him such an explosive (if excessive) performer; he sounds focused, innocent and eager. The instrumental flights of Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robbie Krieger show the Doors were a mighty force even without him, although Morrison's poetry and ad-libs dwelling on death hint at what's to come.

The original master 1/4 track stereo tapes were recorded at 7.5 ips on Abram's Akai reel-to-reel vacuum tube tape PopMatters music critic Steve Horowitz observed in his review of Live at the Matrix 1967, entitled "Money...That's What I Want,"that the Rhino CD was not sourced from Peter Abram's master tapes; Rhino's press release stated that "first generation tapes" were used.

On December 2, 2008, Peter Abram allowed photos to be taken of his master tape boxes. These photos were published online at the Steve Hoffman Forums on December 4, 2008.
Abram's notations on the master tape boxes indicate that a 'jam' was performed between "Soul Kitchen" and "Get Out of My Life Woman" during the March 7, 1967 show.
For Record Store Day 2017, a condensed version was released for the 50th Anniversary. Only 10,000 copies were pressed.

Who are The Doors
The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students Ray Manzarek, keyboards, and Jim Morrison, vocals with drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric organ work and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics. The group signed to Elektra Records in 1966 and released its first album, The Doors, featuring the hit "Light My Fire" in 1967.

From the start, the Doors' focus was the charismatic Morrison, who proved increasingly unstable over the group's brief career. In 1969, Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure during a concert in Miami, an incident that nearly derailed the band. Nevertheless, the Doors managed to turn out a series of successful albums and singles through 1971, when, upon the completion of L.A. Woman, Morrison decamped for Paris. He died there, apparently of a drug overdose. The three surviving Doors tried to carry on without him, but ultimately disbanded. Yet the Doors' music and Morrison's legend continued to fascinate succeeding generations of rock fans: In the mid-'80s, Morrison was as big a star as he'd been in the mid-'60s, and Elektra has sold numerous quantities of the Doors' original albums plus reissues and releases of live material over the years, while publishers have flooded bookstores with Doors and Morrison biographies. In 1991, director Oliver Stone made The Doors, a feature film about the group starring Val Kilmer as Morrison.

London Fog 1966The remaining three members of the Doors -- Manzarek, Densmore, and Krieger -- were involved in various musical activities in the decades following Morrison's death but never saw successes approaching the levels of the original Doors. After the turn of the millennium, Manzarek and Krieger performed live under the name Doors of the 21st Century with singer Ian Astbury of the Cult handling vocals; a legal battle ensued when Densmore filed suit against his former bandmates over use of the Doors name. Ray Manzarek died in May 2013 in Rosenheim, Germany after battling bile duct cancer; he was 74 years old. On February 12, 2016, Krieger and Densmore reunited in tribute to Manzarek at the benefit concert Stand Up to Cancer. Later that year, the earliest known live tapes of the Doors were released as London Fog 1966, and early in 2017 the Doors celebrated their 50th anniversary with deluxe reissues of their debut album and Strange Days, along with a new compilation called Singles. Over the next two years, 50th anniversary editions of Waiting for the Sun and The Soft Parade followed.

Break on Through: The Doors Re-Enter The Matrix in Restored Live Set

One of the most legendary live recordings from The Doors is finally coming out in its most definitive form. Live At The Matrix 1967: The Original Masters, due September 8, is the last word on the group's pivotal dates at the San Francisco club The Matrix - among the earliest concert recordings of the group. The 3CD or 5LP/7" box set will include, for the first time, all of club owner Peter Abram's surviving original master tapes of the performances, remastered by the band's longtime engineer Bruce Botnick.

The Doors' instantly recognizable stage presence can be felt on these performances, only months after the release of their self-titled debut and predating the breakthrough single release of that album's "Light My Fire" (which would feature in their controversial national television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show that fall). In addition to the lauded songs from The Doors - among them "Break On Through (to the Other Side)," "The Crystal Ship" and the epic "The End" - singer Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore were already integrating into their set songs that would be recorded on that year's follow-up Strange Days, including "People Are Strange," "Moonlight Drive" and "When the Music's Over."

Abram knew he had something special with the Matrix recordings he captured, but it would be decades before anyone heard any of them officially. After years of bootlegs, two tracks made it onto a 1997 career-spanning box set. A decade later, to mark the 40th anniversary of the shows, a 2CD set offered many of the Matrix performances for the first time - but fans and critics debated the quality of the sources used (and ultimately discovered that the set was created from third-generation copies of the original tapes). Restoration was finally underway a decade after that, with 15 tracks selected for a pair of Record Store Day exclusive LPs released in 2017 and 2018. Now, all 37 performances completely fill a gap in the story of one of the most defining bands of their era.

Rhino's supplied track listing reflected the vinyl release, in which "Bags' Groove" is included on a separate single-sided 7". The CD should put everything in chronological order. The label also indicated the set will be limited to 14,000 numbered copies on vinyl and 21,000 on CD.
