Friday the Thirteenth (album)

Friday the Thirteenth is the name of a live album by American rock band, The Doors. It was recorded on Friday, September 13, 1968, at the Frankfurt Festhalle in Frankfurt, West Germany, during their European tour.

The album was initially released in 1980 as part of a limited-edition box set called The Doors: Box Set, which also included other rare and unreleased material. It was later released as a standalone album on CD and vinyl.

The album features a selection of songs from The Doors' first three studio albums, including "Light My Fire," "Back Door Man," and "The End." It showcases the band's raw energy and improvisational skills in a live setting. The audio quality is considered acceptable for a recording of its age, though it is not of studio quality. The performances capture the spirit of The Doors' live shows during their peak popularity.

While not considered a canonical album in the same vein as their studio releases, Friday the Thirteenth provides a valuable glimpse into The Doors' live sound and is appreciated by fans for its historical significance.
