The Doors

" Le 30 septembre 1967, quand les Doors se produisent au Family Dog, à Denver, "Light My Fire' est déjà en tête des hit-parades partout dans le pays.
Ce soir-là il y avait fort à parier que tous les spectateurs présents dans la salle avaient déjà entendu la chose au moins quatre ou cinq cents fois. Cela faisait plus d'un an que les Doors la jouaient en public. Ils la jouaient alors qu'ils n'étaient encore que d'illustres inconnus …

Via interviews with surviving members of The Doors, archival clips and insider insights, this video retrospective looks at the creation of the group's self-titled debut album, a masterwork featuring megahits such as "Light My Fire" and "The End." Adding incisive commentary are record executives Billy James and Jac Holzman, musician Henry Rollins and recording engineer Bruce Botnick, who details how the band's mesmerizing sound was captured.

The Complete Studio Recordings is a seven compact disc box set by American rock group The Doors, released by Elektra on November 9, 1999. It contains six of the original eight Doors albums, digitally remastered with 24 bit, with the inclusion of stray previously unreleased tracks that had surfaced on the The Doors: Box Set series, on disc seven.

In 1968, as the Vietnam war raged and the world responded with political turbulence, the Doors made a live appearance at the Roundhouse in London. Captured here are dramatic performances of songs that convey the band's strong messages about the war, such as a powerfully effecting rendition of "Unknown Soldier." While the music plays, the presentation cuts from the live onstage action to display rows of soldiers' graves in a cemetery that looks like Arlington National. Back in the club, Jim Morrison writhes in his tight leather pants and white poet's shirt, flinging his curls and dancing to extended versions of "When the Music's Over," "Five to One," and "Spanish Caravan." The cinematography, in black and white grainy stock, takes care to spotlight each of the band members, not the audience, making this live show seem especially intimate…

The ultimate collectible: a limited edition, 7-disc vinyl box with 12-inch 180-gram HQ vinyl re-issues of the original stereo mixes of the band's six Morrison-era studio albums, plus a copy of the '67 debut ("The Doors") in mono. Includes "The Doors", "Strange Days", "Waiting For The Sun", "The Soft Parade", "Morrison Hotel", and "LA Woman".
