Album Description
Digitally remastered pressing of The Doors final release with Jim Morrison from 1971, a melodic yet dark and ominous trip through the sleazier side of life. The Doors' mixture of Rock, Blues and Jazz combined with vocalist Jim Morrison's poetic lyrics and powerful vocals created a musical Molotov cocktail that could make your senses explode...in a good way! 10 tracks including 'Love Her Madly', 'Riders On The Storm' and the groovy title track. Warner.

Amazon.com essential recording
The last official Doors studio album, L.A. Woman was still high on the charts when, like the "actor out on loan" of its closing track, "Riders on the Storm," Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971. Via such tracks as "The Changeling," "Crawling King Snake," and the frothy, rollicking title track, the collection leaned heavily toward the blues--in particular, Morrison's boastful "Lizard King" brand of it. It also holds another entry in the band's ever-adventurous tone poems in the ever-underrated mythical tale of American music and culture, "WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)." --Billy Altman

if you want LA Woman on Cd get this one!!!

awesome in 5.1 surround
i just received my dvd audio copy of LA Woman by the doors.I played my remastered cd copy against it. I never heard the drumming so good as on this dvd. I cam away being very impressed by that, the overall quality of the sound. on LA woman , jim morrison when he sings mr mojo rising, he repeats this one speaker at a time- all 5 of them.

Love Her Madly
This is The Doors final studio album, by this point good old Jim had garnished a beard and held a fatigued singing voice. The band oddly enough went in reverse cycle for rock bands of the era, reverting back to a bluesy sound as oppose to a harder more rockish tone.

The song selection is top notch, L.A. Women the song was another long Doors single frequently played. L'America's ever progressing speed creates an illusion of anxiety... It just keeps building up! Some bizarre songs shift into play here such as the coiling "Crawling King Snake" and the worn out sounding 'Hyacinth House'. 'Love Her Madly' classically restores The Doors popish capabilities following the strict Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge Chorus format, rendering it ideal for radio play.

All the songs are wonderful for a closing album, this is a must buy for classic rock fans or Doors enthusiasts.
