The Doors - Live in Europe 1968 (DVD, 2004)

John Densmore, Paul Justman|Theatrical release: 1968 | Rating: Not Rated

Movie synopsis

Though the flame was snuffed out too early, the Doors left an indelible footprint on the history of rock and roll with their blend of poetry, heady-but-heavy music, and high rock theater. Frontman Jim Morrison's live antics--which have become the stuff of legend--can be amply witnessed on this video tracking the Doors' 1968 European tour. Filmed in London, Frankfurt, Stockholm, and Amsterdam, this rare live footage is narrated by Grace Slick and Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane, the Doors' opening band for that tour. Fantastic live performances of the tour de force "When the Music's Over," the antiwar "Unknown Soldier," the revolution-inciting "Five to One," and many others, are accompanied by firsthand anecdotes, making LIVE IN EUROPE an intriguing glimpse into the powerful, mysterious world of this seminal band.

The Doors Live in Europe 1968

Created: 20/05/08
This is a GREAT piece work by the Doors, who are at the peak of their powers and in Europe as it shows. The voice over and storytelling by Grace Slick and Paul Kanter of Jefferson Airplane go along smoothly and help to paint a picture of the time period, and tour that the bands did together. Personally, I really enjoyed the dvd, and see no reason why any fan wouldn't either. The band is tight, as is the music, the extended version of "Light my Fire", with poems by J.M. are very good, and are interwoven very well. The version of "When the Musics' Over" is among the best ever recorded, especially to video. It makes a great addition to any diehard Doors fans' collection.

Took me way back. Light my Fire came out the year I started college. Some good commentary at the beginning and end by Grace Slick and Paul Kantner from the Airplane. Just enough to give some perspective about Morrison and the rest of the band, especially Manzarek who I always thought never got the recognition he deserved. The rest is great performances of their songs that I thought did a pretty good job of capturing the essence of the band. Worth a look and listen.

When the Music's Over!

Created: 07/11/07
With its mixture of rock, blues, jazz and classical elements, and with Jim Morrison's exceptional vocals and fine lyrics, this music will never be over. And to anyone who professes that music is strictly an auditory experience: say what? Regards, The Unknown Soldier.

P.S. Don't panic when you see that out of focus b&w cheesy sounding "Light My Fire" opening to this concert--it gets a lot better.

The Doors-Live in Europe 1968 dvd

Created: 21/03/09
I have always been a huge Doors fan. I was in middle school in 68 and of course never really saw any of the Doors concerts. I enjoyed the commentary by Grace Slick and Paul Kantner,it gave me an understanding of what went down with the group and Morrison at that time. Thoroughly enjoyed the performances,passion and poetry of Morrison. He was truly ahead of his time. I can only imagine how far these talents could have gone. The only sadness is Morrison was taken much too soon.

Good DVD to have in you collection.

Created: 20/03/09
I love The Doors and bought this DVD because the track list caught my eye, at the beginning there is a documentary about Jim's life and then you get real 1968 footage of their concerts in Europe. If you are a fan, this will fit perfectly in your collection.
