Rhino
and Bright Midnight Archives rifle the archives once again for another
previously unreleased live concert recording from The Doors' final tour
with Jim Morrison. Recorded on May 2, 1970 at the Pittsburgh Civic
Arena, LIVE IN PITTSBURGH 1970 captures an epic performance from the
legendary quartet. As the title of a rare dialogue section from the
album states, "Tonight You're In For A Special Treat.” The
single-disc performance presents over an hour of incendiary and soulful
live music from the late Jim Morrison and surviving Doors John Densmore,
Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek. Highlights include a 22-minute plus
version of "When The Music's Over,” during which Morrison improvises
with the musical dialogue and leads the band into bits of songs they'd
never played live before. Also featured are Doors classics including
"Break On Through,” "Five To One,” and an extended, tracklist-closing
version of "Light My Fire,” plus takes on Robert Johnson's "Crossroad
Blues,” Howlin' Wolf's "Back Door Man” and Willie Dixon's "Close To You”
(with Manzarek on lead vocal and Morrison on backup). LIVE IN
PITTSBURGH 1970 was mixed and mastered by The Doors' longtime
engineer/producer Bruce Botnick, who recorded several concerts from the
band's now-historic 1970 tour on multitrack tape for the Absolutely Live
album('70). The concert would have been released sooner save for two
small missing sections from the original 8-track masters. Instead of
allowing that to prevent the release of this show, the band decided to
insert the missing snippets from one of the other 1970 concerts, a
process facilitated by Botnick's expertise and familiarity with the
tapes. A companion piece to 2007's 3-CD set Live In Boston-also
recorded on the '70 tour-the release continues Rhino's upgrade and
expansion of The Doors' catalog that began in honor of the 40th
anniversary of their self-titled 1967 debut album, which Rolling Stone
has called, "a stoned, immaculate classic.”
