It is multiple shows so there is song repetition across the shows, but it is excellent.

Good performances but not a "must have" unless the Doors are your band. All planned recordings that were edited into the release Absolutely Live back around 1970. Lots of repetition as previously stated. Their engineer, Bruce Botnick, did a nice job with the production, cleaning up a few things.

I attended the first show of the run and was very interested to hear all the remaining performances. Left the original show feeling somewhat disappointed. At times Morrison just did not seem that interested, but when I heard the full recording the band actually sounded better than I remembered.

The Doors were a swinging band, but their performance hinges on their opening.

reviving the thread by way of hijacking it 😮
But is anyone familiar with the last two albums they did w/out Jim - the last one, released spring 1972, apparently had their last charting single, Mosquito

It’s Other Voices, & Full Circle
Worthy ones? A stain on their legacy? Have never heard a note of either - just that show at Boston Common Cool
