Doors: Live Triple-CD Announced

After A Controversial incident onstage in Miami shortened the Doors' 1969 tour, the band roared back in 1970 with the astounding Morrison Hotel and followed it up with an inspired tour — the Doors' last with singer Jim Morrison.

Bright Midnight Archives celebrates the beginning of an era's end with a three-disc set that captures the tour's first stop at the Boston Arena on April 10, 1970. Featuring complete recordings of both the early and late shows, The Doors Live in Boston ’70 will be available beginning July 24 at all retail outlets and at rhino.com and thedoors.com for a suggested retail price of $29.98. It will be available digitally for $24.99. The Doors Live in Boston ’70 can be preordered now at thedoors.com.

Featuring more than three hours music and mayhem, Live in Boston finds keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger at the peak of their powers as Morrison leads them on a booze-fueled romp through "Roadhouse Blues" and "Light My Fire," plus mind-bending journeys for "When the Music's Over" and Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train." Morrison scatters spoken work gems throughout both performances, including a short riff on Adolf Hitler, in which he declares, "Adolf Hilter is still alive—I slept with her last night."

Eh, the early show is a lot better than the Late show. I have both as Audience recordings and I think some people will be disapointed with Boston late show. It is amusing the first time, but when jim starts stickin the mic in his mouth during light my fire, it gets kind of annoying. Oh well, the Soundboard recording will be a plus with this show and its pretty cheap.

Checked

[Room On Fire]

Fuckin fantastic.

[igotabcrich32]

i have the soundboard boots of the Early and Later show as well and i have to agree with Old Stone Road, the early show is far better.

dont think its worth the 30 bucks though, you could get it for free from torrents, just paying 30 bucks for the artwork.

[Adderall_Ninja]

**** yes!!!

[msierragtz]

awesome.

[littleleo88]

what was this 'controversial incident'? im intrigued...

[old stone road]

at the very end of the show,, after or during Been Down So Long, they concert promoter and manager pulled the plug. The music stopped but Jim's mic was still on. Jim said "cocksuckers" into the mic and thats probably what the controversial incident is. No big deal though.
