Very early on in their career, The Doors played at a small, hole-in-the-wall club called The Matrix, which was co-owned by Jefferson Airplane's Marty Balin. The rule at the time was that bands from LA had to play The Matrix when they came to San Francisco as "tax" and homage to the bands that built the local scene. The Doors happily obliged, and co-owner Peter Abram recorded the band's two shows – March 7 and March 10, 1967. The set features soon-to-be beloved covers by The Doors such as "Gloria" and blues favorites like "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar) " that would define their influence and sound as they worked out originals like "Break on Through (To the Other Side)." The complete set from both shows was released once before, but it was discovered after release that they were taken from third-generation tapes of the recordings. In the ensuing years, The Doors have located the first-generation recordings, and this is the first time the sets from those nights will be released in full.
