The album was released from the Bright Midnight Archives collection which contains a number of previously unreleased live concerts by the Doors. Ray Manzarek, the Doors' keyboardist recalled the concert as "A large audience, lights shining in my eyes, can't see the audience... The Doors are excited. Because Albert King is coming onstage, so we played great. Then Albert comes on. And we played even better. We played dark. And deep and funky. Morrison was just transfixed by Albert King's manual dexterity and adroitness on the guitar, so he was in blues-boy heaven."
