Free Music Notes for Live in Pittsburgh 1970
Free Music Review: Very Best Concert I ever met
Hit: 5 Stars
I Have 6 concert in cd but this is one of the best I hear, is more beter that the Live in Boston becouse the sound is more perfect and the voice of Jim Morrison to. Free Music Review: Live in Pittsburgh 1970--The Doors
Hit: 4 Stars
Overall good purchase. I have purchased all of the live releases from the Doors over the last several years. They are all great but few stick out as unique or superior to the others.
I recommend buying Live in Detroit if you are only going to purchase one of the live releases. It stands out as the best release to date.
Free Music Review: I WAS THERE
Hit: 1 Stars
I was there and what a disappointment this concert was! Morrison had recently been busted in Miami and the lizard king was mo more. This concert was not the hearty macho poetic youthful self assertion one associates with Morrison, but an exhibition of drunken self indulgence that failed to impress even my 16 year old self, who was looking to be impressed. It began with an already somewhat drunken Morrison clumsily sauntering onstage with a bottle of brown liquor which he continually quaffed in a swinish manner. The concert proceded to spiral downward from there. The band tried to hold the show together but there was no stopping Morrison fom his progressive degeneration. I believe this concert is where my perception of rock heros being driven by tragic character flaws codified. We were young, we were high and we deserved better! I'd be interested in listening to this CD for the sake of recollection and review of my perceptions of the time, but certainly not as nostalgia or enjoyed memories. This concert was the last act before the epilogue: the hero of a greek tragedy after his fall.Free Music Review: Perhaps the best starting point for BMA?
Hit: 4 Stars
Perhaps the best starting point for The Doors' Bright Midnight Archives releases? This is a fairly strong entry and it's very affordable compared to the rest of the catalog and for this reason it might be a great starting point.
Back Door Man, Love Hides and Five to One are no strangers to the set list with BMA releases and these are good renditions.
Moving along to Roadhouse Blues, Morrison reprises his "scat" vocal and it works very well.
Moving on to the Mystery Train, Away in India and Crossroads Blues jam; Ray plays with an energy on these that is not entirely unheard before, but just a little bit more "on." Or perhaps it's just he's louder in the mix. Ray's keyboards are upfront on this release; his bass runs are at equal volume with his other keyboard parts and this is unique. We are talking subtleties here, you can here the whole band, but you can really hear Ray leading the band on this one.
Universal Mind and Someday Soon are ok songs (Someday Soon being particular to this release) and I'll leave it at that.
Now we get to the interesting part of the release. When the Music's Over features some guttural shouts, screams and feedback loops that lead to the very awesome Soft Parade Vamp. This is the "... callin on the dogs ... you gotta meet me ... at the crossroads ..." part of the song which is distinctly different from the recorded version. It rocks and makes one wish there were more live renditions of The Soft Parade out there to hear.
Light My Fire, well the first 1:44 of the song is from Live in Philadelphia patched on to the Pittsburgh version. You can see Bruce Botnick's liner notes for the explanation, it's barely noticeable.
Another excellent entry for the Bright Midnight Archives, check it out if you are a die hard Doors' fan.
Free Music Review: Doors do it again with there full length live album
Hit: 5 Stars
Just like the detriot cd or boston cd the doors do another great live cd. I have said this again and again im so glad they are putting out the full live albums.I wish they would stop puting out sample live cds there just not as good as the real deal.there no remixes or anything its the three guys and jim you can hear the mistaxes and everthing. the 20+ min version of when the musics over is the higlight of this album you wouldnt get that on a sample live cd ,so dont waste youre money on things like in concert or bright midnight get the Pittsburgh cd and you will be happy.
