I would give this an 8 out of 10. If you are a Doors and 5.1 fan, and can get this for around $50 I would pick this up. The surround mix is a bit tame, but the videos, additional music (also in 5.1), and fullness/separation to the instruments make this box worth-wile.
So this appears to be the umpteenth re-mastering cash grab by the Doors of their back catalog...Anyway, the DVD-A's sound great! There is a fullness and clarity to their songs I have not heard before, in particular the use of the echo chamber employed on Morrison's vocals for the Strange Days album. However, the resolution is not as breath-taking as I have heard of other older bands who had their work butchered being translated over to cd.
The DVD-A surround mix is limited by the primitive technology they had available to them (The 1st album is more of a 3.0 mix. I say 3.0 as opposed to 3.1 as there is very little sub-woofer output for the entire box set) and really the surround mix does not really start to become noticeable until their third album Waiting for the Sun. Even then things are mixed on the conservative side although going in people should not expect some sort of Flaming Lips or NIN type mixing wizardry. There is impressive separation of the instruments and some of the music has changed (new intro. on "L.A. woman," additional lyric on "Break on Through" and the odd Morrison joke before or after a track).
I was impressed with the bonus videos and music. In fact, I wish they would have included another DVD of a live concert (Hollywood Bowl?). Also fans should know that the album: Absolutely Live is NOT included in this box. The bonus music is also DVD-A, 5.1.
