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 Soldier" and "Five To One".A should-have for most Doors fans.
Rating:  - Makes you think back to those times...
Though I have enjoyed the Doors music over the last 40 years, this is the first glimpse I have had into what this group was really like. It seems odd that some of the best music comes from those whose lives are in the worst of turmoil. It appears that Morrison was a very talented addict who was lucky enough to be surrounded by an extremely talented band. Considering the subject matter, the disc was well done and the sound was much better than I would have thought possible from old recordings. My high rating is for the quality of the disc and the accurate presentation of the material.
Rating: - Incrdible Doors DVD!!
Firts off I would like to say that I'm a HUGE Doors fan, and when I watched this, it just simply blew me away! ENOURMOUSLY ENTERTAINING! It also has two members from the band Jefferson Airplane come on and talk about the tour that they did with The Doors, very intersting. I loved it and you will too!

The Doors. Rock revolutionists. This is The Doors in a 1968 live performance; Everyone is here; Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, John Densmore, and of course Jim Morrison. The songs featured are two Light My Fires, Love Me Two Times, Back Door Man, Spanish Caravan, Hello I Love You, When the Music's Over, The Unknown Soldier, Five to One, and
Alabama Song; the latter which is played while we see Manzarek, Krieger, and Densmore visiting Morrison's grave while everyone follows. The performances are great; everyone is at the top of their form; Morrison has a great stage prescense and seeing Paul Kanter and Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane recount their time touring with The Doors is also very interesting. Morrison sounds great live; their performance of "When the Music's Over" was my favorite. It's also interesting to see the band introducing themselves.
Krieger & Densmore come out and just say their names, birthdates, and what instrument they play; then you have Manzarek come out and say in this deep voice "Raymond Daniel Manzarek. 2-12-39. Musician/ Organist." Then there's Morrison who simply says "Jim." Overall it's great; there are a couple of songs that I wish they would have done (Break on Through, People Are Strange, The Crystal Ship etc.) but looking past that, it's good. A-/
Rating: - breathtaking
