It’s nearly summer, which means it’s the perfect time to “take a little ride down by the ocean side.”

On this day in 1970, The Doors performed at the Cobo Arena in Detroit.
Captured during the Roadhouse Blues Tour, it was one of their longer shows. The band played an hour past curfew and were banned from the arena on future tours. The fiery set includes several Blues covers, 17-minute-plus versions of “The End” and “When The Music’s Over,” as well as an over 19-minute version of “Light My Fire” and other rare tracks.

Remembering Pamela Courson.
As the story goes, Pamela first saw The Doors perform at the London Fog in Hollywood during the band’s earliest days. She and Jim Morrison were instantly drawn to each other, beginning a bond that would remain central to Jim’s life.
He often described her as his “cosmic partner.”
