LIVE
AT THE AQUARIUS THEATRE: THE SECOND PERFORMANCE
This is the third of these titles. A 33-Track 2-CD Set of the complete
show mixed and mastered from the original multitracks stored in the
doors archive and presented unedited and in its entirety just as you
would have heard it if you were sitting front row center.
An Excerpt From Danny Sugerman's Notes:
It is my opinion that on a good night Morrison was the rock & roll equivalent of the brilliant and crazed Russian ballet dancer, Nijinsky. He was literally possessed by a force he could somehow tap into once the band started playing and the spotlight hit him. Words like mesmerizing, hypnotic, horrifying, ecstatic, otherworldly all apply here.
And it was reputation, and of course the hit singles, several of which
are contained here, that inevitably led to the bigger auditoriums.
Bill Graham once told the band "You can't share shit in those barns"
in an attempt to keep them at the smaller-sized Fillmore. But with
Jim giving each performance everything he had, and because the demand
for tickets was so high, it simply made more sense to do what so many
other bands had done, and that was to graduate from the Fillmore Auditoriums
to larger halls and play one show instead of six.
Live albums had become a big money maker about this period and rather
than force out their upcoming studio material, The Doors consented
to Elektra Records' request to record the band on tape in concert.
It seemed a natural, The Doors, one of the best concert performers
of their era, captured on tape.
