The Doors 1969-07-21 Aquarius Theater Hollywood, CA


this is nearly the complete set of the second show of this date, 1969-07-21 performed at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, California.

disc 1 is missing only a brief section of tuning which occurs between when the music's over and you make me real.

disc 2 is missing light my fire which would be the second track of the disc and the celebration of the lizard which would be the fourth track on disc 2.

the celebration of the lizard is the same track which is on THe Doors Absolutely Live Album.

I have been unable to track down the missing sections of this show but feel that because it is both the most complete source i believe to be available anywhere and it is such an outstanding show, that it needs to be heard.

i hope you like it as much as i do.

if you do not already own it and love the doors, go out and buy Absolutely Live. It is an essential piece which belongs in every Doors fan's collection.

Here is the track listing of this great show

these are the files that were previously missing from the set of files i had acquired to this great doors show. they are the material that belongs at the very beginning of the disc 2 fileset. with the inclusion of these files, i now believe this show to be absolutely complete. i will also add that i think this is probly the best doors show i have had the fortune to hear. a true gem

VERY IMPORTANT: IF YOU DOWNLOADED THIS SET BEFORE, WHEN THE MISSING FILES WERE ABSENT, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE NEWLY INCLUDED "TUNING" AND "THE CROWD HUMBLY REQUESTS" FILES ARE THE SAME AS THE "TUNING" AND "THE CROWD REQUESTS THEIR FAVORITES" FILES INCLUDED IN THE DISC 2 FILESET. THEY VARY ONLY BY ABOUT A SECOND IN LENGTH EACH AND THE DIFFERNCE IN TIME IS COMPRISED OF NOTHING OTHER THAN APPLAUSE. NO TALKING IS LEFT OUT OR INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE AFFECTED FILES. I INCLUDE THESE DUPLICATE FILES TO RETAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE INITIAL SET OF FILES I OFFERED UP. ANY CHANGES TO SHOWS ALREADY AVAILABLE SHOULD NEVER RESULT IN THE REMOVAL OF FILES OTHERS MAY ALREADY HAVE GOTTEN. IF YOU BURN THESE TO A DISC, I WOULD RECOMMEND USING ALL FOUR FILES IN THE NEW FOLDER AND REMOVING THE FIRST 2 FILES FROM THE CD 2 FOLDER AS THIS RESULTS IN THE PERFECT FLOW OF THIS SHOW.

there is also now a more exhaustive set of artwork available for this set which is contained in the "newly added artwork" file.

i would also like to point out the contribution of CB who in addition to originally turning me on to this show, also located these files and pointed them out to me. alot of work has gone into this set of files. it is the most work i have personally done on any show i have worked on and i am extremely happy that this show is now completed and ready to be enjoyed in its entirety by anyone fortunate enough to get this great great doors show.

finally, here is the setlist for the final and complete version of disc 2
