Customer Reviews
Loose Jam Session
I am not sure if the previous reviewer was looking for a greatest hits type cd. This live session is for REAL fans only. They don't play a single hit. It was recorded the day after the other two Aquarius shows (with no audience). The band sounds loose and is in a good mood. It is Jim that definitely does not want to be there. He really just says what he feels and sticks it to the record company that is paying for this session (there is a track called "there are 1000's of dollars riding on this day"). It is very funny and I just love it. Again, they don't play any of their hits... so if that is what you are looking for look elsewhere. If you are a die-hard fan looking for a unique recording of one of your favorite bands, buy this cd. Very good sound quality as well.
Just serious fans only please
This is not for the casual fan, this is only for those of us who already own all official albums and more than a couple live bootlegs. This is the Doors, preety much rehearsing and a little bored at times, specially Jim. Is it tight? No. Does it rock? On a few moments it does. Am I happy I bought this? Yes; it is another missing link in discovering one of the greatest bands of all time, and one of the greatest talents in rock: jim morrison. I deducted one star, because it is a little pricey, and being now out of print, most likely will only continue to increase in price.
Take this for what it is...
This 2-disc live performance is nothing more than the Doors during a rehearsal for the Aquarius Theatre (Hollywood, 1969). Without a doubt, this release is strictly FOR DIEHARD FANS ONLY. Having said that, the Doors put forth an electric performance of "Gloria" on Disc One. This version is one of the BEST ever recorded by the band! It completely smokes other live versions released in the past! You also get the benefit of some beautifully improvised vulgarities, which add to this version's jacked-up mojo!!
In addition, "I Will Never Be Untrue" is a live tune that never appeared on a studio release - it is a slow, bluesy number that is well-suited to Morrison's voice. "Build Me A Woman," another non-studio song, is, once again, pumped up with even more vulgarities - it has the feel of a band having fun while rehearsing, which is precisely the terrain this live release covers. It is NOT for the casual fan...Take it for what it is...
