Last filmed performance by The Doors to be released

The Doors’ final filmed concert at the Isle of Wight festival is to be released on DVD and CD next year (18).
The footage has never been released in its entirety and even the most devout fan hasn’t been able to watch the group’s performance in 1970.
Recut and remixed from the original film footage, the concert was meticulously restored using the latest technology, colour correcting and visual upgrades.
The digital sound was mixed from the original multi-track audio by longtime Doors engineer and co-producer Bruce Botnick.
A press release reads: “The scene is August 1970… Frontman Jim Morrison’s ongoing obscenity trial, from an incident a year prior in Miami, weighs heavily on the band. The Last Great Festival is taking place in England, which boasted a venerable who’s who of 1970’s top acts: Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and more… The band touches down on the Isle of Wight. The show must go on.”
The Doors performed at 2am on 30 August, 1970, delivering a set featured Roadhouse Blues, Break On Through (To The Other Side), and Light My Fire.
Morrison died the following summer (Jul71) in Paris, France.
