Amazon.com:
For Doors completists only, this shapeless gathering of rare film clips of the band performing in Europe is hampered by the same old, frustrating problems with attempting to convey, through lousy camera work, the band's power as a live act. The packaging tells us the Doors swept through London, Stockholm, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam during a 1968 tour documented here, but there's no way to appreciate that save for a random clip or two of Jim Morrison milling about outside concert venues, talking with fans. Otherwise, we see the same sort of obfuscating on-stage close-ups of Morrison you can see in any footage of a Doors gig, stumbling around, crooning, and reciting poetry to minimalist accompaniment by Ray Manzarek on keyboards, John Densmore on drums, and Robby Krieger on guitar. Unless one can see, in the mind's eye, what the band is up to from the point of view of a kid in the 30th row, there's no way to really get the hypnotic, Dionysian effect for which the Doors were justifiably famous. Thus, for anyone who can imagine such a thing, or take it on faith, there's good reason to enjoy performances of 'Spanish Caravan,' 'Five to One,' and two versions of 'Light My Fire.' There's even a relic of pre-MTV, pop promotion: a silly-looking performance of 'Hello, I Love You' shot before a baffled crowd on a London street. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Don't bother
You have to be a real fan to find anything positive with this DVD. It reminded me of my home movies from grade school.. It was in black and white for the most part and the sound quality was terrible !!!!
Rating: - Don't Buy This, Rent It
The song list for this DVD is misleading. The first "Light My Fire" picks up midway, "Hello, I Love You" is the video of Jim singing in the street, cut with some footage of him messing around with fans, and "Alabama Song" is played over a few still shots/photos and the credits. The Jefferson Airplane commentary is boring and completely useless in terms of teaching anything, or even just being entertaining. I suspect the Jefferson Airplane interview was included because, without it, this DVD would ... Read More
Rating: - Doors - 'Live In Europe,1968' (Eagle Vision) Running time:58 minutes
Had this documentary been in color,I'd have given it a five-star rating.I've heard other fan's comments on this DVD and personally I didn't really think the camera work/angling was ALL that bad.Not for a 1968 production,anyway.Paul and Grace of Jefferson Airplane pops in several times to narrate the concert film.Enjoyed seeing Jim Morrison's onstage antics,energy and the way he interacts with the crowd.Best songs performed were "Light My Fire",the boot stomper "Back Door Man","Spanish Caravan","Unknown ...
