A nice 3 cd set, but Mr. Mojo was drunk for the 2nd show. This album just confirms his erratic behavior before leaving the Doors. I am a Doors fan and appreciate the opportunity to hear the group. With that said the Hollywood Bowl of 68 is clearly better even though Jim was on LSD. He put on a good clear voice performance. If you can find this album under $15 it is a great deal.

The cd is good live Doors. The Music itself is outstanding Live Music, but only one thing wrong...Jim....He's Trashed and singing the parts in different keys, although funny at times with his drunken screams and pitter patter. I didn't like it much at first but it really grows on you. Not Jim's best Live performance, so if you're just looking for one live Doors album I'd try another one. But all in all it is pretty Great I must say. Most of us have been there once before!!!!
The first show (CD#1) is a bit weak becasue Mr. Morrison does souns as if he is QUITE intoxicated. There are still some stellar moments even so. It appears he managed to sober up a bit for the second show because, in my opinion, CD#2 and CD#3 contain much better performances. The overall sound quality (probably due to the quality of the original recordings and problems with the sound system in the arena) is good but not great. Overall this is a very nice CD set and gives a good representation of what the Doors were capable of in a live performance.
This was a great concert. The Doors were the thing back then and still are to a lot of people. Thankyou.

What I am really saying is that The Doors were a great band but when Jim was "F"ed up it kind of ruins the show. Then again, he'll come out of it on other songs & sing brilliant. I think if your a collector like myself, you'll like it for what it was, two complete shows in one package. So if your really looking for better shows, wait, they might come later, then again, who knows ;-) http://www.webspawner.com/users/judemac
