Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Essential Doors Comment: After slurring the blues on the three-disc "Live in Boston," Jim Morrison comes alive for this remarkable Doors concert. Recorded on May 2, 1970, "Live in Pittsburgh" may be the group's finest live album to date -- even better than the Detroit and Philadelphia releases. For 79 minutes, the Doors deliver the goods with excellent versions of "Back Door Man," "Roadhouse Blues," "Mystery Train" and "Light My Fire." The 22-minute "When the Music's Over" is simply astonishing. Throw in a rare performance of "Someday Soon" and you have a definite keeper. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Album Comment: If your a fan of Jim Morrison and the Doors, then this album is MUST OWN. Even tho this was recorded in 1970, it felt like I was there in the crowd, great moment in history. RIP Jim Customer Rating: Summary: Almost like being there! Comment: Great that these live concerts are being made available. Hope there are more coming. Not for everyone; a "must have" for the dedicated Doors fan. Price was fair, as was shipping and handling. A+. Customer Rating: Summary: Great album to own for new fans Comment: I would recommend this to a new fan of The Doors if you haven't heard them live. Jim is in top form here. He sings with such passion and care. The band is incredibly tight here too. If you are just discovering The Doors i recommend getting the new Perception (small box) set. This set is afforable for most, if not for you then get each album sold seprate. Each album has its gems to me. There are only two songs i don't like in the entire Doors catalog of songs. Put on a good pair of headphones sit back relax with a joint or beer and enjoy The Doors live in Pittsburgh. Customer Rating: Summary: I Was There Comment: When Bright Midnite announced they were releasing concerts of the last major Doors tour I was intrested because I went to this show. Looking back what struck me as intresting is back then the Doors were on tour but they were not supporting their latest album (Morrison Hotel); they played 1 song from it: Roadhouse Blues. Looking at bands today and over the past 30 years that really has never been the case they because they feature songs from the newest album when on tour. The Doors were always about perfomance art and this is a good example of it with the ad libbed jams on songs like When the Musics Over and the opening Backdoor Man. This is what also makes the Doors and the time when this album was recorded special. Jim Morrison is a legend and his talent and poetic spirit shines on this CD. I love it because I was there and it is a part of what defines my musical tastes in music today. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Recorded on May 2, 1970 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena during The Doors final tour with Jim Morrison as lead vocalist, LIVE IN PITTSBURGH captures a spectacular concert performance from the legendary quartet. A single-disc tour de force, the album features over an hour of incendiary energy from Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger as they take the audience on an epic musical journey. The powerful recording was expertyly mixed and mastered by the Doors longtime engineer/producer Bruce Botnick, who recorded several shows from the band s now-historic 70 tour on multitrack tape for the Absolutely Live album. Along with classic Doors hits and choice covers, highlights include Morrison s improvisational riffing during an exciting 22-plus minute version of When The Music s Over, leading the band into bits of songs they d never played live.
