Missing Jim
Watching this DVD just saddened me because The Doors were really a spectacular band when Jim was in the groove. After reading Stephen Davis' biography of Jim Morrison, I have become "obsessed" with rediscovering this band and their great music. Their European shows were great and this was a great compilation of the tour.

the doors were open that night
the doors are open dvd is fairly good if it wasent for the carppy interviews choped up songs it would be a veary good dvd veary good set list that night and a veary good show black n white footage by the way

can you say this is not good?
all i can say is that is is the doors live, this is the way they appeard during this performance, the sound quality may not be as good as expected, but i still think it captures the moment of the doors, i recently bought the CD of the Doors called Live In Hollywood and that was exceptional sound and for me and exceptional experience, i love the doors and anything live from them is a different experience, depending on how much you relate to the doors. as far as i know i would realy like to experience anything from the live or not, just to enrich my mind and maybe make me feel a little diffrent in the expectations of what i expect from a band a great as they are.

A great buy for a Doors Fan
I bought this DVD today and popped it into my player as soon as I got home.After hearing the first few seconds of the song I thought damn this is going to be another compilation of songs from diff concerts. I was wrong and it's a full yet short show. At first I thought man sound quality is horrible, but I got use to it. I thought to myself the quiality is exceptionale. The document footage of Presidents and riots are intresting, but the only flaw is that the footage cuts in and you miss parts of a song. If your'e a true Doors fan you could over look these flaws. All I have left to say is get the orig 6 albums, In Concert and The Doors Collection DVD and you'll be set till Bright Midnight releases another Doors concert or live DVD.

Absolutely a must purchase for any Doors fan
Yeah, I know, the sound quality is muddled, and the interspliced documentary footage can get in the way, but to me, these flaws pale in comparison to the incredible performance. For live concert footage, I haven't seen anything else that captures the intensity of The Doors when they were ON like this documentary does!! The band is just great in this concert...Morrison is mesmerizing, Manzarek's organ is haunting, Densmore's chops are blistering, and the true unsung hero of the day just might be Robbie Krieger on guitar.(the flamenco intro to Spanish Caravan is stunning)!!

If you are a fan of The Doors, this has to be in your collection. I've never seen anything that captures the true spirit of the group like this show. THIS is what The Doors were capable of when all the components were right...throbbing, intense, acid soaked theatrical rock at it's best!!
