MIDNIGHT: LIVE IN AMERICA - THE DOORS
Thank you, everyone--this album is now a collector's
item.
These
unreleased recordings were recently discovered when consolidating
the band's audio and film works, which had been scattered around
the world in various record-company storage facilities. As a result,
literally dozens of hours of never-before-released performances
have come to light. In all, The Doors recorded approximately 12
concerts in seven cities; some of these songs were released in 1970
on Absolutely Live.
For
almost three decades these concert recordings sat on storage shelves.
After the overwhelmingly positive response to the Live In New York
disc from The Doors' box set, Doors fans pointed out that over a
dozen concerts had been professionally recorded and demanded to
know what had happened to them. Subsequently, the remaining Doors:
John Densmore, Robby Krieger, and Ray Manzarek as well as band
manager Danny Sugerman, began reviewing every live tape and came
away impressed by what they had heard.
These
live recordings successfully capture a wide range of exciting Doors
music from the drunken, over-the-top Boston concerts, to the intense,
bluesy show in Detroit, to the stunning performances in Hollywood.
This limited edition Bright Midnight: Live In America contains 14
live performances recorded at eight different venues during The
Doors' 1969 and 1970 tours. It includes one of only three live versions
of 'The End' in existence, and was produced and mastered by longtime
Doors engineer Bruce Botnick.
