Supposedly taped by Bruce Botnick  for personal purposes.

"There are two versions circulating of this show, made from the same tape but through different transfers. The "Doors Collector Magazine" source, which is originated from the master is the most complete and has all the songs, but still comes with missing a couple of things. The other, 2nd generation copy floating around is less complete than the DCM copy but the sound is slightly better, not that bassy. Though it cuts up Mystery Train and 'The End' but leaves 'When The Music's Over' intact - the DCM copy fades out & in again in the silent part "What have they done to the earth..." and repeats the missing part (probably made during the copy of the tape due to a tape flip)." christophe

"I've put a copy of "The Doors On The Road" by Greg Shaw which will give you some informations about this performance. The recording was probably done by the Doors enginer Bruce Botnick on personal material, so it's not a soundboard recording but not really an audience one and it's quality is very good. I've got it from DCM before the Doors management ask Kerry Humpherys to stop his trades, except for the post Morrison's shows.
I've got it in a trade in 2004 from the "Doors Collector Magazine"." hugodemeline


NOTES
Excperts taken from Stephen Davis' book on Jim Morrison p370-371:
"In April 1970, the Doors went back out on the road in three-day weekend bursts. "We could tell his energy was giving out," Ray said later in a radio interview. "He was really depleting his energy with alcohol." but they all needed cash-Densmore had bought a house, and Themis was bleeding Jim dry. Some of the shows were ragged, a few were desperate. "The first night would be OK," Ray said. "The second night he was drinking during the show. By Sunday night he was mostly hanging on the mike," trying to stay upright.
...
Next weekend: Honolulu Convention Center, April 18. Someone brought "da kine" backstage, "Maui Wowie," the most potent marijuana known to man. The Doors played for two hours in an inspired ganja trance. Jim stopped "Roadhouse Blues" because he didn't like the lighting. He started singing "Love hides in the strangest places," a riff that he kept performing that year. After the jam "People Get Ready/Mystery Train/Away In India/Cross Roads/People Get Ready," Jim launched into "Baby, Please Don't Go." The encore of this stoned soul picnic was "The End," interrupted for a poetry reading: "Stop The Car/Ensenada/Coda Queen." The audience cheered for ten minutes after the band left the stage, but there was no encore. Two days later Jim was acquitted of assault charges when the Continental Airlines stewardess testified that she had made a mistake in identifying him as the man who had harrassed her."
