Free Music Notes for Live in Pittsburgh 1970
Free Music Review: Immaculate, complete show of unsurpassed talent
Hit: 5 Stars
Like some of the released live works of the Doors in the past decade, this show more than others pushes the argument again for the survival of Jim Morrison. When the studio releases in 1971,or so, "Absolutely Live" and claims Jim was drunk most the time etc., they had to splice shows...etc as the official story and 30 years later there are a dozen shows to come that are not incoherent or uneven, one wonders. This was a hot show, my beautiful friend, with 3 unreleased songs and the fullest display of Morrison's range from blues, rock to Sinatra vocal touches. Manzarek's and Krieger's support throughout was inventive, jazzy and extraordinary. What made this special is the surprising counter taunts by Morrison when the audience tires of the artsy "When the music's over" interlude and Jim breaks the trance with two or three bird calls straight out of Martin Denny's "Quiet Village," that no reviewer had yet identified. The seamless segueing into and out of formal song structure was amazing. New levels of improvisation, here. No 4 chord wonders, absolutely surprising 40 years on.Free Music Review: I Was There

When Bright Midnite announced they were releasing concerts of the last major Doors tour I was intrested because I went to this show. Looking back what struck me as intresting is back then the Doors were on tour but they were not supporting their latest album (Morrison Hotel); they played 1 song from it: Roadhouse Blues. Looking at bands today and over the past 30 years that really has never been the case they because they feature songs from the newest album when on tour. The Doors were always about perfomance art and this is a good example of it with the ad libbed jams on songs like When the Musics Over and the opening Backdoor Man. This is what also makes the Doors and the time when this album was recorded special. Jim Morrison is a legend and his talent and poetic spirit shines on this CD. I love it because I was there and it is a part of what defines my musical tastes in music today.Free Music Review: better than expected

for those of us that are doors fans that feel the studio albums are the best the doors have to offer this albums comes as a surprize in its quality in both sound and showmanship. jim gives some top quality live performances of studio classics, but the best of this album is jims ability to play songs live that are not in their studio releases. when the musics over and someday soon are great examples of quality showmanship that give the band a uniqueness in their live performances to always come up with something new and unexpected.higly recommended along with live in detroit and philly.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.Free Music Review: Great album to own for new fans

I would recommend this to a new fan of The Doors if you haven't heard them live. Jim is in top form here. He sings with such passion and care. The band is incredibly tight here too. If you are just discovering The Doors i recommend getting the new Perception (small box) set. This set is afforable for most, if not for you then get each album sold seprate. Each album has its gems to me. There are only two songs i don't like in the entire Doors catalog of songs. Put on a good pair of headphones sit back relax with a joint or beer and enjoy The Doors live in Pittsburgh.
