The Doors - Live at the Bowl '68 (05/04/2013)
The Doors’ historic performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968 has been painstakingly restored, showcasing what many have called the bands finest performance ever captured. The updated version includes three previously unreleased tracks from the performance including a brilliant version of Hello, I Love You which was missing due to technical issues.
The concert is a raw, shamanistic journey into dark rock and roll psychedelic theater - vintage The Doors. It captures the group as they verge on being one of the biggest bands in the world. A lively Jim Morrison is at his lyrical best, both in song and in between he offers up his poetic ramblings, who’d have known he had taken LSD before going on stage.
The most thrilling moment is in the classic Light My Fire, the concert taking place on Independence Day, firecrackers explode in the background as the band groove through a remarkable bridge before sending tingles down your spine as they roll into the final chorus.
A nice touch within the packaging of this release is a forward from producer Bruce Botnick who produced The Doors' legendary L.A. Woman album - their last with lead singer Jim Morrison.
Captured at one of the most iconic venues in the world, with The Doors at the height of their magical powers, Live at The Bowl 68 is a must for any Doors fan.
