[edit] Track listing

Many shows were recorded during the 1970 tour to create the Absolutely Live Album. The Doors producer, Paul Rothchild, painstakingly edited the album from many different shows to create one cohesive concert, "the perfect Doors show". In fact many of the songs were pieced together from various performances. When it comes to identifying which song came from which show, it becomes very difficult. Rothchild has said "I couldn't get complete takes of a lot of songs, so sometimes I'd cut from Detroit to Philadelphia in midsong. There must be 2,000 edits on that album". Below is a listing of most likely venues of where a song was performed based on information from several books including Greg Shaw's The Doors On The Road.
