CD Reviews

Live in Boston 1970 Review by Gary Hill The Doors were often times a study in contradictions. So, too, is this CD set. They are high points and low points – brilliant things and useless things. More...



The Doors (40th Anniversary remix/reissue) Review by Julie Knispel The mid to late 1960’s saw a sudden emergence of rock bands reacting to the sounds and styles brought over as part of the British Invasion. From folk inflected psychedelic rock (The Byrds, some Grateful Dead) to full flight psychedelia (Jefferson Airplane), the reaction was swift and decisive. More...



Waiting for the Sun (40th Anniversary Remix) Review by Julie Knispel Waiting for the Sun was the Door’s first number 1 selling album, reaching that lofty position on release in 1968. In many ways, this was both a boon and a bane. More...

DVD Reviews

The Doors - Classic Albums: The Doors DVD Review by Gary Hill You just can't go wrong with this DVD series. They start off by picking only albums that truly deserve the "classic" label - and that's a great thing. More...



The Doors - Feast of Friends BluRay Review by Gary Hill So, the idea behind this was that The Doors chose to make what they called “an imaginary” documentary that just sort of happened around them. More...



The Doors - Live at the Bowl '68 BluRay Review by Gary Hill OK, let’s get the first thing out here - "The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl" is not the same as this. More...



The Doors - Live in Europe 1968 DVD Review by Gary Hill Previously out of print and just reissued by Eagle Entertainment, this DVD is a study in contrasts. On the one hand, the performances here are magical, psychedelic Doors extravaganza. More...



The Doors - Mr. Mojo Risin': The Story of L.A. Woman BluRay Review by Gary Hill Certainly the Doors were an important and highly influential band. More...



The Doors - R-Evolution BluRay Review by Gary Hill This is an intriguing collection of Doors rarities. More...



The Doors - When You’re Strange – A Film about the Doors DVD Review by Gary Hill In some ways this documentary parallels Oliver Stone’s film. In some ways it moves past that one, taking a more in-depth look at the other three members of the group. More...
