The Los Angeles-based band whose influence has long outlived their time together in a unique compilation of three different performances, marking three very different points in their collective career.
This unique compilation of three different performances shows The Doors at three markedly different points in their career, in three very different host cities: Toronto, Denmark, and New York City.
The Doors appear in the springtime of their youth performing The End on a Toronto Soundstage in 1967; during their ascent on their only European tour in 1968, and again in their maturity for public television on a soundstage in New York in 1969. It is here that the group gives a rare interview, and a bearded Jim Morrison gives his only on-camera views, just a few short months after his arrest in Miami.
The majority of the material has never been seen before, and not only is it rare, but it is startlingly great. It is also enhanced by the commentary of all three remaining Doors: Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger.
The original soundstage performances lend themselves well to this compilation format: Even without an audience, playing just for the cameras, the band mesmerises. Morrison delivers electrifying performances, whether reciting poetry in Denmark performing Love Me Two Times or getting it on during The Soft Parade his charisma, beauty and brilliance shine through.

I missed this one--it was bumped from Sunday’s broadcast by the Obama Inaugural. Can you show it all again, please. Also, I stumbled across half of an unscheduled programme called “The Blues,” latish on Sunday night. Was this one of the Scorsese series? (It featured Skip James & JB Lenoir mainly). And can you show this again, please? I hadn’t been able to plan my watching..

Regarding the advertised Doors show tonight 10.05, your guide said it was a documentary of their ‘68 tour including the Roundhouse but it turned out just to be a televised performance. Is the advertised documentary to be aired?
