Live in New York is a six-disc box set of four complete concerts performed American rock band the Doors on January 17 and 18, 1970 at the Felt Forum in New York City.[3] Two shows were played each night, with 8:00pm and 11:00pm scheduled start times on January 17, and 7:30pm and 10:00pm scheduled start times on January 18.[4][5] The final show featured an extended encore with guests John Sebastian (harmonica and vocals) and Dallas Taylor (drums) that concluded around 2:30am.[5] Select tracks were previously released on the Doors' live album In Concert and as part of The Doors: Box Set. About a third of the material was previously unreleased.
The concerts were held a few weeks before the band released their fifth studio album Morrison Hotel on February 9, 1970. The box set was released by Rhino Records from the Bright Midnight Archives collection which contains several previously unreleased live concerts by the Doors.
