Editorial Review: Product Description: This amazing collection features dance on fire live at the hollywood bowl and the soft parade plus commentary by members of the doors. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/06/2009 Run time: 172 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: If you are a new or original fan of the Doors, this spectacular DVD should give you enough incentive to jump on the DVD bandwagon without reservation. It's quite simply the finest single audio-visual source of Doors music and history, presented with the full participation of the band's surviving members (Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, John Densmore) and featuring a variety of bonus features that will send any Doors-phile into a state of rock & roll euphoria. We're not kidding, folks--this is a must-have disc for anyone who's ever been mesmerized by Jim Morrison and the late-1960s, early-'70s rock phenomenon known as the Doors. The primary content consists of three acclaimed films, all running about an hour long and directed by Manzarek, that give the viewer a deeper appreciation of what the Doors were all about. Not only was the band filmed in a variety of live concert settings (especially at the legendary Hollywood Bowl show, included here), but they were also precociously aware of the value of film, creating music "videos" long before MTV and taking their cue from Manzarek's mid-'60s stint as a UCLA film student. Also included are clips from several TV appearances (including a PBS interview in which Morrison predicts the future of recording technology with astounding accuracy), revealing backstage footage, and, of course, some of the most hypnotic concert performances ever filmed. Two of Manzarek's student films (Evergreen and Induction) indicate that the keyboardist could easily have become a successful director, but fate blessed him (and us) with a future in one of America's all-time greatest rock bands. What The Doors Collection conveys more than anything is that these four young men formed a unique cohesion of talent, that they all loved and admired Jim Morrison (and still do), and that they continue to share that love--along with some conflicting recollections and amiably contrasting opinions--on a commentary track that's wise, fun-loving, and refreshingly free of drippy nostalgia. Indeed, when Manzarek uses the word "atrocious" to describe Oliver Stone's 1991 film about Morrison and the band, he's merely defending the fact that Morrison was himself a sweet, lovable young man who had a dark side--no one's denying that--but who also fronted a band that continues to unite listeners and viewers in the positive spirit of creativity and freedom of expression. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Doors Collector's editionMusic of the past remain kicking and refreshing. Well copied and preserved. CD well packaged and delivered on time History remain available and well preserved. Thank you for keeping the greatest music around and available to share with the new generations to come. Rating: - Jim Morrison is THE Icon!Anyone who is a fan of the Doors HAS to include this DVD in their collection. It is very well organized and has a "special feature" narration by the remaining members of the Doors. This collection also features some songs I had not heard before and, of course, all of their hit songs. The DVD is presented in three sections--chronological order--with an excellent bonus collection section. Rating: - The Doors CollectionThe Doors Collection is The Doors, all Doors and nothing but. A must for any true fan and lifelong devotee. Rating:  - GREATI got this for my boyfriend for Christmas. He is a Doors fan. If you are, I think you'll love this DVD. Rating: - Love Me "Three" TimesThis DVD contains three previously released VHS items for $19. It's worth the money if you are a hardcore Doors fan, just a Doors fan or even a new Doors fan looking for more than just the music. The first release, "Dance on Fire" is mostly a collection of music videos, if you will. Interesting is the fact that The Doors were making music videos in the late sixties, well before the launch of MTV in 1980. The best "video" on here is the one for Roadhouse Blues. It's mostly a video mix of the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
