Live at The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 (The Doors) Doors' manager Bill Siddons. A 2002 interview recorded with Ray Manzarek, the Doors' keyboardist, who died in 2013 is also included.

Much of the recording sees the group bathed in a single red spotlight. Jerry Hopkins in his biography of the band, "No One Here Gets Out Alive", commented on the cold wind
