London Fog 1966 is a live album by the rock band the Doors. It was released on December 16, 2016, by Rhino Records. It contains a previously unreleased live performance at the London Fog on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in May 1966. It was recorded by spectator Nettie Peña before the band released their highly successful debut album on January 4, 1967. Considered to be the earliest known live recording of the Doors, London Fog 1966 includes versions of eventual album tracks and covers of blues standards.
This is a limited–edition time capsule of the show! It includes CD and 10“ LP, plus: 8 x 10 prints of unseen photos from the show, hand, written set list by John Densmore, new essays from people who were there and more.
Issued to coincide with celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Doors' first album, London Fog 1966 was overseen by the band's longtime sound engineer/producer Bruce Botnick and Peña. Among the lavish packaging for the live album, each disc appears in an enlarged box set, and each copy of the set is individually numbered (as indicated on the back label)
In May 1966, UCLA film student Nettie Peña watched and recorded some of a Doors performance at the London Fog with a reel-to-reel. Two of the songs the band played on the occasion included "You Make Me Real" (which would later appear on Morrison Hotel) and Strange Days (which would later appear on the album of the same name Strange Days).[2] The remaining recordings on the album are renditions of blues standards, including B. B. King's "Rock Me Baby", Little Richard's "Lucille", and "Baby, Please Don't Go", which was recorded by Them in 1964 and hence became a rock standard.[3] However, "You're really only hearing half of that evening's performance" John Densmore said as he alluded to early versions of "Light My Fire" and "The End" that were performed during that gig.
London Fog 1966 was presented in an unusually lavish package designed by David Gorman. Housed in a box set that appears like a vintage storage container, the album features the Doors performance on CD and a 10-inch record that was designed to resemble a test pressing.[7] The band's long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick mastered the audio for the collection. A limited-edition release, each copy of London Fog 1966 came individually numbered.
