Dead cats, dead rats, Doors Live,

Nice to have all the live releases combined on one cd release. The songs seem to flow together and the sound quality is really good. Some highlights include "Back Door Man", "Gloria", and most of the popular Doors catalog of hit songs. Jim sounds in true form and the band rocks and keeps the energy pumping throughout this release. This will be one of your most often played cd's.

EXCELLENT CONCERT COLLECTION

This was my first Doors CD ever, I bought it back in 1992 when I was 11. I was just amazed of the energy Morrison could proyect on stage. This Double live album includes the LP's : Absolutely Live, Alive she cried and Live at the Hollywood Bowl with minor arrangements in the track order. You wont hear the differences, the songs are perfectly matched and mixed you wont believe they are from different shows. Instead of spending all your money on the three CDS, buy this collection for a fair amount, buy the three separated only if you want the track order and a few more songs here and there. Anyway, listen to it and judge yourself. Best Live Doors album.

One of the best live albums I've heard.

The sound quality of this CD is great. A lot of live albums fall short because the producers try to make the recordings sound like a studio album--all you hear is a stadium-esque roar at the end of each song that sits way back in the mix. What I love about this album is the same thing that I love about Frampton Comes Alive: the band is inspired, full of energy, and we can actually clearly hear individual people in the crowd yell and interact with the band. It gives one the impression that they're one step closer to actually being in the front row. You'll simply laugh at some of the things Morrison says to the crowd, and admire his incredible stage presence, which is felt all over this record.



The only thing I didn't like was the Back Door Man "medley." I wish they would have played the whole song because the little they played sounded great.



You'll either love or hate the "Celebration of the Lizard" portion of the first disc. It demonstrates the band's most uncommericial, though poetic, side.



It's also worth noting that a version of Gloria is on the second CD, though it sounds like it was recorded in the studio.
