The entire concert was recorded using several cameras and is one of only two professionally recorded live performances of the band in colour (the other being Live at The Isle of Wight Festival 1970). The Doors' long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick recorded the concert direct from the soundboard onto an 8-track machine. The recording of "The End" was used in the film project Feast of Friends, which was not released until November 2014. Initial sound problems with Morrison's microphone made the opening trio of songs ("Hello, I Love You", "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" and "Spanish Caravan") somewhat distorted. This was digitally rectified for the 2012 release by Bruce Botnick. The 2012 edition of the concert also made use of some different camera angles than the version released on video in 1987.

The show is touted as the event of the season and everyone who is anyone comes out to see the show. Mick Jagger and Jimmy Miller have dinner with the band at Mu Ling's Chinese restaurant before the show and are in the audience this night to see the big show. All 18,000 seats are sold out and the stage is tweaked with over 60,000 watts of power. The Doors hire a few additional cameramen to their crew who are filming tonight, one of which turns out to be a young Harrison Ford. Steppenwolf opens the evening followed by The Chambers Brothers and they blow the crowd away. The Doors follow and there is anticlimax in the air. Jim drops acid before the show and the band begins with a very long intro to "When the Music's Over" and what is supposed to be suspense turns into monotony. Throughout the night, the crowd awaits Jim to do something but, on this night, he just stands by the mic and sings his heart out concentrating on his vocal performance. Jim is performing professionally this night and the crowd, with plenty of left-over fireworks from the 4th, wants the crazy freak to do something they can tell their friends. Mick Jagger is interviewed after the show calling it a bore saying 'They (The Doors) were nice chaps, but they played a bit too long.'  July 5th, 1968: Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles |
