BRUCE BOTNICK'S RECORDING PLANS: CAROUSEL THEATRE 1968

In late December or early January of 1968, The Doors sound engineer Bruce Botnick makes preliminary plans to record multiple performances at the Carousel Theatre on January 19th & 20th using a remote truck. Lost for decades inside a studio tape reel box for Elektra recording artist David Ackles, the plans to record these performances are forgotten until late 2023 when Bruce's handwritten notes re-surface in the hands a private collector who is in possession of the David Ackles tape. Although the exact details of the plans to record, and possibly film, are unknown, it is during this time period that Bruce intends to capture a performance of The Celebration Of The Lizard on tape, and does so during a studio session at I.D. Sound Recorders in Hollywood. MildEquator.com is very proud to come into possession of these original notes by Bruce, and we'd like to give a very special thanks to Jonathan Anderle for bringing these to light for our viewers here on the site!
