“The Doors were a few months away from stardom in March 1967 when they played five sparsely attended shows at a small club in San Francisco called The Matrix. These uninhibited performances would have been fleeting if not for Peter Abram, who co-owned the pizza parlor-turned-nightclub with Jefferson Airplane founder Marty Balin. An avid recordist, Abram taped concerts at The Matrix regularly and his recordings of The Doors, made between March 7th-11th, 1967, spawned one of the band’s most storied bootlegs.
At long last, all known Matrix recordings, sourced entirely from Abram’s original master recordings, will be released. The recordings have been remastered by Bruce Botnick, The Doors’ longtime engineer/mixer. Most of the newly upgraded live recordings are making their debut in the collection, including eight that have never been featured on any of the previous Matrix releases.”
