Vince, Jim described the Roundhouse performances in England as one of the bands finest!

What are your memories of these particular shows? This was the beginning of the first and only Doors European tour in '68.

Share with us your recollections!!

Round House

The Round house was a good show. It was not like Filmore East 1968-03. The crowds were very excited and exciting. The place was a fantasy, considering the former use of it.

The music was good because we were on show in an entirely new place. the guys wanted things to go well and so they did until Amsterdam.

It is most difficult to tell you why and what made a really smashing Doors show. They just happened. Location, Audience, Time of week or month - who knows. You could not tell it was coming but you sure did know when it happened. Also, Jim was relatively sober. That was one Major Factor.
