Doors - Live At The Aragon Ballrom Chicago August 1972 FM Broadcast LP
Caught on microphone at the Aragon Ballroom in July 1972, this radio-broadcast performance hears The Doors a year on from Jim Morrison's death and deep into the touring cycle for Full Circle, on a note of reinvention. Now Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore pressed forward, redistributing vocal duties and expanding the lineup with Jack Conrad on bass and Bobby Ray Henson on rhythm guitar and percussion. The set leans heavily on post-Morrison material such as 'In The Eye Of The Sun', 'Verdilac' and 'Ships w/ Sails', reflecting a turn toward funk, Latin rhythm and jazz-rock looseness, while classics like 'Love Me Two Times' and 'Light My Fire' are reshaped to fit a more ensemble-driven sound. Broadcast live from a venue long associated with FM transmissions, the show survives as a real candid of the band recalibrating in public, not to be paralysed by mourning.
