Live At The Boston Arena (Early Show),
Boston, MA.
Fri. April 10,1970
The Doors' Boston shows go well, although the first show is not nearly as impressive as the second. Morrison precedews their raw, gusty version of Roadhous Blues with a brief a cappella introduction based on lyrics from Rock Me. With hardly a pause, the band then leaps into an energetic version of
Ship Of Fools feauturing some atmospheric organ work from Manzarek. Later, Morrison's legendary, guttural screams erupt during transition from Alabama Song into Back Door Man. Following that medley, they do an excellent version of When The Music's Over. Before the "We want the world..." portion, the
arena is silent and Jim asks "What do you want ?" After the wild response, Morrison queries in a singing voice "What would you do with it ?! to boisterous laughter and applause. And then quiete unexpectedly, Morrison flatly states "I think I'll pass" to a knowing applause that indicates they understand what he is driving at. After that song, the band does a sparse, bluesy rendition of Rock
me that showcases Krieger's guitar prowess and then quietly initiade their People Get Ready jam. As the tempo begins to accelerate into Mysery Train, the audience breals into spontaneous applause and the band is off to a respectable version of the medley, despite the fact that Morrison's vocals are
becoming increasingly slurred. Next, after his opening shriek of Wake Up! Jim interjects his poetic Vast Radiant Beach before bursting into Wake UP! a second time, as their now customary prelude to Light My Fire. Robby Krieger digresses into a waltz melody during his lead that bears similarities to
John Coltrane's My Favourite Things and The Doors' instrumental Summertime.

It's weird how the 1970 Jim looks a lot like Eddie Vedder.
