In this next chapter of our Doors history series, we are going back to the Blues.

In 1970, The Doors returned to their Blues roots with MORRISON HOTEL, featuring gritty tracks like “Roadhouse Blues” and “Peace Frog.” The album hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and marked a powerful comeback. That summer, they played their final full-length filmed performance at the Isle of Wight Festival.

The Doors’ official music video for “Gloria”

The Doors’ official music video for “Gloria” was released in 1983, pairing electrifying footage of Jim with their powerful cover of the Van Morrison classic.

Recorded during rehearsals at the Aquarius Theater in 1969, their version didn’t see an official release until ALIVE, SHE CRIED in 1983.

His unmistakable style left a lasting mark on The Doors - who covered “Crawling King Snake” in their early club sets and later recorded it for L.A.WOMAN.

“John Lee Hooker came on with "Crawling King Snake" and that really got to me. That song encapsulated the whole Blues experience.” - @officialrobbykrieger

On this day in 1970, The Doors performed live in Bakersfield, California - bringing their unmistakable energy to the intimate Civic Auditorium.

"We're Down In The South, Or In The Midwest, Or Maybe On The Way To Bakersfield. And We're, We're Driving In A '57 Chevy To An Old Roadhouse. Can You Dig It?" -Jim Morrison

Fun fact: at this show, Jim dedicated the song “The End” to a couple of newlyweds.

Relive one of the most sought-after live shows of 1970, now available to stream for the first time.

For an audience member watching the concert unfold, it probably seemed like The Doors had rehearsed everything, but many of that night’s lyrical and musical twists and turns had never been discussed by the band, let alone rehearsed. Odds are the band didn’t even have a set list.

The Doors – LIVE AT BAKERSFIELD, AUGUST 21, 1970 was recorded at the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium on a two-track reel-to-reel recorder with microphones inconspicuously placed on the stage by the band’s road manager Vince Treanor.

Hear “Love Me Two Times” like you’ve never heard it before as well as a 13-minute version of “When The Music’s Over.”

In August 1966, The Doors “unofficially” signed with Elektra Records.

Elektra’s president at the time, Jac Holzman, approached the band with a deal. They took their time, hired a lawyer, and by August 18 had unofficially signed to Elektra - making it official that November. The rest, as they say, is history.

If people are strange… we’re definitely people. Love singing with @sierraelizabethferrell!

In August 1967, The Doors recorded “Moonlight Drive” for their second studio album, STRANGE DAYS. It was the song Jim first sang to Ray on the beach, sparking the idea to start the band.

Jim had written the lyrics on a rooftop in Venice Beach, where he spent nights watching people live their lives below - quiet moments of observation that shaped one of The Doors’ earliest songs.

We have a winner! Congratulations @nikvitaly on finding the first location in our #DoorsScavHunt, the legendary London Fog!

Today, the amps are gone and the address is home to @chadosbarbershop — but the history still hums in the walls. Our lucky winner walked in, asked for the “Jim Morrison haircut,” and walked out with the grand prize: a signed copy of The Doors debut album, autographed by John and Robby.

The hunt continues… stay tuned for the next location.

Before the crowds, before the chaos - there was a

Before the crowds, before the chaos - there was a tiny club tucked into the Strip, where four unknowns turned up the volume and found their sound. It wasn’t glamorous, but night after night, the sparks flew. The music was loud, the lights were low, and history was quietly being made.

The music’s long gone, but if you know where to look, echoes still flicker behind the glass. These days, the hum comes from clippers, not amps.

If you think you’ve found the right place, go inside and ask for the Jim Morrison haircut to claim a copy of THE DOORS, the band’s self-titled debut album signed by John and Robby. There’s only one out there… once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Once you’ve secured the prize, post a pic with the record and tag us using #DoorsScavHunt.

If nothing is found in two days, we’ll drop a second clue.

"The Doors crafted a legacy that is not only a cornerstone of L.A. lore, but has traveled from the beaches of Venice, where they formed, the world over countless times. The myth and legend of the Doors continues to grow.” -LOS ANGELES TIMES

The Doors may have started in Venice, but their sound has echoed across the globe for decades, reaching fans worldwide.

Where were you when you listened to The Doors for the first time?
