J-Card Comment Here are both of The Doors' 1968 Stockholm shows on 2 CDs. They were originally broadcast on Stockholm's Radiothuset radio station.

The first CD contains the complete early show recording and comes from three different bootleg sources. The opening track is from "The Beautiful Die Young" LP which has a few extra seconds before the announcer comes on. The bulk of the show comes from the "Live In Stockholm 1968" CD release. The bass was really high on this bootleg so I did some slight EQing to bring the bass down and bring up the high ends. I also swapped the channels to match up with the Stockholm master tapes and to match with the late show recording. The last track from the early show comes from the "Apocalypse Now" bootleg and has been speed-corrected. Note on the early show: Jim's mic cuts out during "When The Music's Over" due to a technical glitch on the original recording and his vocals are buried for most of the song.

The second CD contains the complete late show recording and comes from a speed-corrected version of the "Apocalypse Now" bootleg. I also did some amplification to get the best sound.

These both seem to be the best sources currently available for the Stockholm shows. The Doors have yet to release these shows because they still seem to be working out a deal with Swedish Radio for the rights. Until then, these bootleg recordings are the best we have.
