The Door Bright Midnight: Live in America Limited Edition CD Feb 2002 MINT

Description: Mint new condition without shrink wrapDecades after Jim Morrison's death effectively ended the Doors' career as an active band, the surviving members' legal efforts to wrest control of their legacy from others yielded some pleasant surprises. Found during the effort were a dozen or so professionally recorded concerts from late in the band's career--recordings they began to self-distribute online through their own Bright Midnight label. This 13-track from-the-vaults anthology effectively culls together a new Doors live album that chronicles some edgy moments from 1969 and '70. With singer-provocateur Jim Morrison ever the focus, the band has bravely eschewed sonic revisionism in favor of a largely unvarnished historical snapshot. Kicking off with an 11-minute-plus take of their signature "Light My Fire," the band quickly shows that its jam-ethos was more about emotionally charged musical consciousness expansion than about showcasing their licks to a perfect groove. Morrison leads the charge throughout, whether playfully crooning during a 1969 Hollywood Aquarius Theater take of "Touch Me," carousing through "Been Down So Long" and "Roadhouse Blues" in bluesy/boozy 1969 shows in Detroit and Boston, respectively, or playing the role of mad shaman poet to the max in a rare, 16-plus-minute live invocation of "The End."
