SUPER 8MM COLOR FILM



Chicago Coliseum

Info:

Silent Super 8mm film. While previously known to collectors, this footage was transferred in late 2016 and made available on YouTube for viewing. Jim Morrison is not wearing leather pants during this performance but appears to have given a very animated show. Running at approx. 5 minutes, the film is mainly dark and out of focus but shot close enough to the stage for easy viewing.
