Absolutely Live

Product Description

Product Description It's The Doors' 1970 live double album, on CD (a single CD, no less) for the first time! Includes When the Music's Over; Who Do You Love; Not to Touch the Earth, and more, plus no shortage of Lizard King ("You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!") antics. Amazon.com This 1970 double LP proved to be about as good an approximation of the singular methodology of a Doors concert as was possible in the pre-video era. Alternately short and to the point (like the AM radio hits "Touch Me," "People Are Strange," and "Hello, I Love You," among those featured here) and long and meandering (like such open-ended excursions as "When the Music's Over" and "The Celebration of the Lizard"), Morrison and crew displayed the full slate of their estimable powers as both musicians and motivators--continuing to daringly break through whatever sonic and thematic doors they opened. --Billy Altman
