The door 1991 in concert full album


In Concert is a live double album, recorded by The Doors. The album's performances are culled from a variety of different concerts and releases. In Concert includes all the tracks from Absolutely Live (with all but one track appearing on disc one, with the remaining track on disc two) and Alive, She Cried. The three remaining tracks come from An American Prayer, Live at the Hollywood Bowl and one previously unreleased.

Contents

Many shows were recorded during the 1970 tour to create the Absolutely Live Album. The Doors' producer, Paul A. Rothchild, painstakingly edited the album from many different shows to create one cohesive concert, "the perfect Doors show." Many of the songs were pieced together from various performances. Rothchild has said, "I couldn't get complete takes of a lot of songs, so sometimes I'd cut from Detroit to Philadelphia in midsong. There must be 2,000 edits on that album."

Below is a listing of probable venues and performance dates for each song, based on information culled from several books, including Greg Shaw's The Doors on the Road.
