The Doors play the Felt Forum

January 17, 1970 The Doors start a two night stand at the Felt Forum that was to be a tour in support of the forthcoming release “Morrison Hotel”, it was also the start of the final year of The Doors as live touring band with Jim Morrison.

The previous year had been a bad one for The Doors, in the aftermath of the March of 1969 concert in Miami Jim Morrison was charged with indecent exposure and the rest of their tour was cancelled. The Doors took advantage of this enforced hiatus from touring by going back into the studio and going back to the basics of rock, the blues and Morrison Hotel was recorded quickly (starting in November of ‘69) and would be released in February 1970.
