What I love is that this recording is faithful to the original LP album,but with the mildew of age removed, and a new clarity/fidelity. Plus the bonus tracks which are, um, interesting in the words and feel, occasionally really good musically, capturing a little different vibe than we're used to. So my first concern - is this the actual live album I knew, and loved, and recorded - was addressed. And I know this for sure: I'd recorded the album from LP to reel-to-reel tape, 20 or 30 years ago (ouch!) and now I played the CD and the reel tape simultaneously, A/B ing to see the similarity and difference. First, there's no tape hiss or LP pop, for better or worse. Secondly the clarity of the mix is quite nice, and it's easier to hear now that this is an ensemble (without a bass or rhythm guitar but with organ and foot pedal and Jim Morrison's voice and sounds). The sounds and applause of the crowds are crystal clear now, and as the bass pedal idles and Morrison is trying to quiet down the crowd, one really feels as if in a great acoustically-balanced concert hall somewhere, watching this unique and powerful band. Secondly (and lastly), it's a good and representative set (compilation), at the time it was released and still, in retrospect and revisiting. For those who really were/are into the Doors and haven't heard these bonus tracks, they're pretty cool, too, capturing some sense of the recording sessions as well as Morrison's, um, poetic side. Costs a bit for an "old album", but it's the real deal, updated for the pleasure of us still enjoying their music in the 21st Century.Read full review
