FEAST OF FRIENDS:



Santa Rosa - Sonoma County Fairgrounds Grace Pavilion

Info:

This brief footage of Jim Morrison riding in an MGB-GT appears to have been shot while on the way to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, and may represent the very first filming for Feast Of Friends.

Black and white backstage footage of The Doors in Santa Rosa at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds Grace Pavilion on April 13th, 1968. This appears to have been the first of the performance footage shot for what would become the basis of filmwork for Feast of Friends.


Shot in black and white, The Doors are captured on film while they perform on-stage at Sonoma County Fairgrounds Grace Pavilion in Santa Rosa, CA. Portions of this filmwork can be seen on the Live In Europe official release, and Tom DiCillo's When You're Strange documentary.
