It was 52 years ago tonight (December 12th, 1970) that the Doors played their final concert with the late-Jim Morrison. The 20-song show took place in New Orleans at the 3,500-seat Warehouse and was only the second city in the band's planned winter run. Tickets were $5 for the show with future '70s stars Kansas serving as the opening act. Members of Kansas later joined the Doors onstage during “Light My Fire.”
During the show the band tried out material that would be featured on theri next album, 1971's L.A. Woman — including the title track, “Love Her Madly,” “Hyacinth House,” and “Riders On The Storm.”
The Doors had played two well-received shows the night before in Dallas at the State Fair Music Hall but any future shows were scrapped after the New Orleans date.
