While on one of those Doors trips, I discovered a couple live albums in the vinyl bin at my local record store. I knew that I was going to have to leave with one of them, and chose the classic Live At The Bowl double LP that was finally pressed on vinyl last year.
The sound on this blows me away. Everything is so crisp and clear. Even the voices from the audience, as they interact with Morrison or shout out the songs they want to hear...it really makes you feel as if you are right there in the crowd with them. And man, that guitar sound from Robby Krieger...mother fuck, that shit could get heavy.
It's funny...I couldn't have cared less about this band while I was growing up. I finally approached them with an open mind about 6 to 7 years ago, after being introduced to Krieger's amazing guitar tone, and now I can't seem to get enough of them. I guess I'm getting old.

Gotta love the Doors. Great band.
Damn. I didn't even know there was an Elektra anymore.
Great post. Great band!
Enough time has passed that I can listen to them again withour thinking of Val Kilmer.
You mean, Ice Man wasn't a good frontman for The Doors?

ha ha ha...that Kids in the Hall skit is too funny. "Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls".
