‘‘IN 1965, I hoped this band might pay my rent for a decade or so,” John Densmore tells Uncut, “but it’s 60 years and we are still talking about The Doors. I am very grateful and very proud. It’s so kind of Uncut to make this CD.”
It’s very much our pleasure to present this journey through an alternate history of the stellar LA band. Across nine songs and 44 minutes, we take a trip with Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison, from an alternate take of “Love Me Two Times” right up to their blistering performance at 1970’s Isle Of Wight Festival, the final time The Doors ever performed as a four-piece outside America.
Along the way, there are outtakes from LA Woman, a demo from Waiting For The Sun, a raw Soft Parade track stripped of its orchestration to reveal the raging group beneath, and many more.
