Here we have a super scarce original Doors concert program from 1968. The show was at the Eastman Theater in Rochester with Linda Ronstadt & The Stone Poneys opening. Doors material is among the most sought after in the marketplace and this long lost specimen is a MUST HAVE for any collector. In our opinion it could fit into an exhibit at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
A Rochester Times-Union Newspaper staff writer Mark Heisler recalled after the show: “If you missed Jim Morrison & The Doors at the Eastman Saturday night there’s no way you can pick up what went on there by reading about it or listening to records. You had to see it.” The band was exploding in early 1968 and this is a celebrated era of their timeline.
Vintage tour programs from the 60’s are harder to find with each passing year. As quantities of available programs decrease the more collectible they become. Finding them in Mint condition like this example is even more desirable! This is only the second we've ever handled. In August 2018 a lower graded example reached $518 in our auction. This superior piece is sure to spark interesting bids stretching from all across the globe.
