Hit: 4 Stars
This is perhaps the best starting point for The Doors' Bright Midnight Archives releases as it's affordable compared to the rest of the catalog and you are getting very good (arguably the best) renditions of many songs in the live vein from these tours.
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 - it rocks, Morrison reprises his "scat" vocal with great enthusiasm; the best live rendition I've heard.
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.
