Mick Jagger (of The Rolling Stones) attended this performance. It was his first time seeing The Doors live, and although he later said that he enjoyed the show overall, he also complained that some of the songs dragged on too long.

Alternative Versionen
The Special Edition released in 2021, in celebration of L.A. WOMAN, includes a brand-new musical performance and a conversation with John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Doors Manager, Jeff Jampol, filmed exclusively for the big screen. It was also remastered in Dolby ATMOS® and 5.1 surround sound by Bruce Botnick, the original engineer & mixer for The Doors who recorded the live performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968 and co-produced L.A.WOMAN. Meticulously restored from original camera negatives and remixed and mastered using original multi-track tapes, "The Doors: Live At The Bowl '68 Special Edition" features the concert in its entirety, including "Hello, I Love You", "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)", "Light My Fire" and "The End".

Bit of a letdown

Have loved The Doors since I was a teenager and still do, despite not enjoying this.

I don't think The Doors were ever known for truly magnificent live performances. This isn't one of them either. I'm surprised by many of the rave reviews about this. I can only imagine those reviewers had dropped even more acid than Jim Morrison. Perhaps that was half my problem. Having 10 years of sobriety perhaps isn't the best preparation heading into this.

But you shouldn't need to be whacked on drugs to enjoy good music. This just came across like a bunch of young, pretentious art students who had discovered acid over their summer break. Unconvincing in its delivery, The Doors more closely resemble a garage band jamming in their Mum's garage here. Occasionally they seem to remember they're performing in front of an audience, which is where the sudden, occasional wailing screams of Jim Morrison abruptly jolt our attention back.

I loved Hello I Love You, Alabama Song and Back Door Man. Light My Fire was alright too, despite Morrison's clear dislike of it. I was relieved when the rest of the show was over though, which is disappointing. I'll stick to playing their records in my bedroom instead.
