Imagining the After Party following The Doors first concert of five at The Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, California (1967)


What an amazing concept to take a notable music event or gig from past, present of future and imagine you've been tasked with providing the music for the after party.
Massive thank you to Mark Gardner for inviting me to contribute to this superb series.
"*My after party is going to take you back to the psychedelic year of 1967, a year of significant cultural and social change, a year that would be labelled 'The Summer Of Love'. Nearly 50 years to the day, starting on the 6th Januray 1967 The Doors play five weekends at the infamous Fillmore Auditorium in San Fransisco, CA.
“The night was scheduled from 9pm -2am and for this particular night, the line-up included The Young Rascals and Sopwith Camel.
Following on from the nights electric appearance of The Doors, the after party curated by my goodself, played the best in Pagen Blues, Jazz and Psychedelic Rock & Folk, and featured a collection of artists/songs that shaped and influenced The Doors..... and maybe even a guest appearance from The Doors themselves*.”
