Notes:

After The Doors had returned from their two day concert at Chet
Helm's Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, they were booked in to
play at the Matrix Club, situated at 3138 Fillmore Street, San
Francisco. The Doors played there from Tuesday, March 7 until
Saturday, March 11 performing three sets a night with fifteen
minute breaks in between each set. The Doors were scheduled to play
at the Matrix Club from "9.30 p.m - 2a.m." with "Minors welcome",
as advertised in the San Francisco Chronicle.

The owner of this club, Marty Balin, vocalist of Jefferson Airplane,
had installed a reel to reel tape recorder to tape his own group,
but The Doors took up the opportunity and decided to record their
own performances as well.

All of the three sets that were played on Tuesday night were
recorded. Unfortunately on Friday night, after The Doors had
completed their second set and returned to play the third set,
the sound engineer had apparently forgotten to turn on the tape
recorder and only got to record the last portion of "The End".

These recordings at present are the most complete recordings
available in their entirety with no over dubbing or shoddy
recordings, just in the same way The Doors had played them during
their one week performance in March. By far, these shows are one of
the best live recordings that The Doors have ever recorded.
