Notes:
Taken from the "Boot yer butt companion". Programs used: Audacity and Total Audio Converter. The original version of this source is available in the additional folder. I used Porsche's echo removed version to recut the songs. I merged all the songs into one big file. I cut the concert so that every track starts with the beginning of the song. I cut about 2 seconds of silence from the beginning of "House announcer". On the end of the tape was about 20 second of silence that I cut. This silence ended with a few seconds from probably another concert. I also cut that. -MrKing-

Notes:
Taken from Buda's European box set. The unedited version is available in the additional folder. Programs used: Audacity and Total Audio Converter. While listening to this recording, I decided that it runs too fast. In comparison with an alternate unknown gen, it's 6% too fast. I merged the first six tracks into one big file. I slowed it down by 6%. I removed a small pop at about 2:26. I took the 1st gen "Light my fire" and slowed it down 6%. I took the first seconds from the 3rd gen AUD and the last 5,5 minutes to complete it. I slowed down "The unknown soldier" by 6%. I removed about 2 seconds of silence at the end of "The unknown soldier". -MrKing-

1968-11-10 Minneapolis Auditorium - Minneapolis, MN
Source: 1st Generation
Lineage: AUD > ? > SHN > WAV > remastered > FLAC

03. When the music's over
04. Back door man
05. Little red rooster
06. Wild child
07. Money
08. Love me two times
09. Light my fire
One of the best shows of the 1968 tour, period. Harmonica player Tony Glover joins The Doors for several songs ("Back Door Man," "Little Red Rooster," "Wild Child," "Money," and "Love Me Two Times") and Jim Morrison improvises some hilarious lyrics throughout much of it. This comes from a first generation tape that I speed-corrected and remastered. The cleanest-sounding source for this show to ever turn up.
