Despite the final result raising controversies within the band (some members were not satisfied with their performance), Made In Japan was a worldwide success, almost incredible for a live record, and it's still today considered a milestone in their discography and one of the all time best live albums!

"Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone"

- #JimMorrison born 80 years ago, #8December 1943.
