The Doors-Live In New York: A Six-Disc Box Set of Legendary Concerts
The Doors were one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s, known for their psychedelic sound, poetic lyrics and charismatic frontman Jim Morrison. In January 1970, they performed four shows at the Felt Forum in New York City, a smaller venue within Madison Square Garden. These concerts were recorded and later released as a six-disc box set titled The Doors-Live In New York in 2009 by Rhino Records.
The box set features the complete performances of each show, with no overdubs or edits. The concerts showcase the band's versatility and improvisation skills, as they play a mix of their hits, blues covers, new songs from their upcoming album Morrison Hotel and extended jams. The set list includes classics like Roadhouse Blues, Break On Through (To The Other Side), Light My Fire and The End, as well as rare tracks like Universal Mind, Build Me A Woman and Moonlight Drive. The band also interacts with the audience, telling jokes, stories and asking for song requests.
The box set also features some special guests and surprises. On the final show of January 18, the band is joined by John Sebastian of The Lovin' Spoonful on harmonica and vocals, and Dallas Taylor of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on drums. The encore lasts for over an hour and includes a rendition of Fever with Morrison singing in a falsetto voice, a medley of Summertime and St. James Infirmary Blues, and a spontaneous version of Gloria with Sebastian leading the crowd in a sing-along.
The Doors-Live In New York is a must-have for any fan of the band or of classic rock in general. It captures the band at their peak, delivering passionate and powerful performances that showcase their musical genius and charisma. It is also a historical document of a time when rock music was changing and challenging the status quo, and when The Doors were at the forefront of that movement.
The box set also reveals the evolution of some of the band's songs, as they experiment with different arrangements and lyrics. For example, Roadhouse Blues features different verses and solos in each version, while Peace Frog is played as a medley with Blue Sunday on the first night, but as a standalone song on the second night. The band also plays some songs that were rarely performed live, such as Wild Child, The Spy and Maggie M'Gill.
The critics have generally praised the box set for its sound quality, performance intensity and historical value. Pitchfork gave it a 7.0 out of 10, calling it \\\"the truth\\\" and \\\"what the Doors sounded like\\\".[1] AllMusic gave it four stars out of five, stating that it \\\"captures the band at their peak\\\" and \\\"delivering passionate and powerful performances\\\".[2] Wikipedia also has an entry for the box set, summarizing its production and track listing.[3]
The Doors-Live In New York is a treasure trove for fans and collectors of the band, as well as a fascinating document of a pivotal moment in their career. It shows the band's strengths and weaknesses, their creativity and spontaneity, their humor and drama. It is a testament to their legacy as one of the most influential and original bands in rock history. aa16f39245
