The Doors

The Doors - Live In Copenhagen on Elektra/Rhino (081227808419) is a treasure for classic rock collectors: the first official release of the band's full September 17, 1968 concert at Falkoner Centret in Copenhagen, issued as a 2LP Record Store Day Black Friday edition on crystal-clear vinyl. The set captures The Doors at their incendiary live peak, with Jim Morrison prowling and improvising over extended, electrically-charged versions of Break On Through (To The Other Side), Light My Fire, Hello, I Love You and more. The recording balances raw rock energy with enough clarity to reveal Ray Manzarek's organ runs, Robby Krieger's blues-inflected lines and John Densmore's jazzy drumming in vivid detail. On vinyl, the sense of space - crowd noise, room ambience, the band stretching out - pulls you straight into a late-60s psychedelic club atmosphere. A must-have for Doors devotees and anyone who loves historically important live albums on wax.
