1137. The Doors - In Concert


Back in high school we reached an age where we were given a free study period a day, along with a room. What we most often did was sleep and play tunes... Nick would often bring tapes in from his parents LP collection, among them were the Doors. At roughly the same time the Oliver Stone film was coming up and the Doors were back, sort of. I bought this on a visit to the US, at a store still using the long box version to make up for all the empty LP bins. This double disc captures the spectacle that was a Doors concert: part banter, part rock, part poetry reading and part mayhem on behalf of the audience and cops. It doesn't beat being there of course, but if you weren't even alive back then this gets pretty close.
