Months before their debut album turned them into stars, the Doors were a bar band grinding out blues covers in a Sunset Strip club, and London Fog 1966 is the CD edition of that rough, thrilling snapshot.
The tape was made in May 1966 by film student Nettie Pena on a reel-to-reel she carried into the London Fog, and it sat unheard for decades before being carefully restored under longtime engineer Bruce Botnick. First issued in 2016, it is the earliest known live recording of the band.
What you hear is a group still finding its feet but already sounding dangerous. Jim Morrison howls through "Rock Me" and "Baby, Please Don't Go" like a young singer testing how far he can push, while Ray Manzarek's organ and Robby Krieger's guitar are already locking into the hypnotic interplay that would define them. The real treats are two originals, "You Make Me Real" and "Strange Days," heard here years before they surfaced on studio albums.
Little Richard's "Lucille" closes things with a pure rock and roll shake.
The sound is a fan's recording, warts and room noise included, which is exactly the point. This is the Doors before the legend, and it's a fascinating listen.
