Trivia
Mick Jagger (of The Rolling Stones) attended this performance. It was his first time seeing The Doors live, and although he later said that he enjoyed the show overall, he also complained that some of the songs dragged on too long.

Alternate versions
The Special Edition released in 2021, in celebration of L.A. WOMAN, includes a brand-new musical performance and a conversation with John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Doors Manager, Jeff Jampol, filmed exclusively for the big screen. It was also remastered in Dolby ATMOS® and 5.1 surround sound by Bruce Botnick, the original engineer & mixer for The Doors who recorded the live performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968 and co-produced L.A.WOMAN. Meticulously restored from original camera negatives and remixed and mastered using original multi-track tapes, "The Doors: Live At The Bowl '68 Special Edition" features the concert in its entirety, including "Hello, I Love You", "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)", "Light My Fire" and "The End".

Incredibly disappointing

Morrison is some force in himself and there are some nice moments, but mainly this just comes across as boring, massively self absorbed and pretentious. Like a bad university poetry slam with noodly muso accompaniment.

I've said all I have to say but apparently a short and concise review is against the rules so I have to write this meaningless extra verbiage oh god still over 200 more characters to go. What a total waste of time to force people to write so much when so little will actually encapsulate one's actual feelings. When I run out of characters I'm just going to stop, but until then I.
