The Doors - The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 ak320

The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 was held between 26 and 31 August 1970 at Afton Down, It was the last of three consecutive music festivals to take place on the island between 1968 and 1970 and the largest musical event of its time, greater than the attendance of Woodstock.
The Guinness World Records estimated 600,000, to 700,000 people attended.

The Doors: Their set was shrouded in darkness due to Jim Morrison's unwillingness to have movie spotlights on the band. Their performances of "The End" and "When the Music's Over" are featured in Message to Love. As described in Morrison's biography, No One Here Gets Out Alive, wind, bad weather, and the cold made their performance even harder. Bootleg recordings of the performances and audio do exist, alongside a 2015 remastered release by Doxy Records . A live version of "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" was featured in the soundtrack for When You're Strange.
