The Doors Soundstage Performances DVD The Doors Soundstage Performances are a truly unique compilation of three completely different Doors performances at three distinct stages in their career. Hailing from three diverse environments, 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, where they design to give an interview and a bearded Jim Morrison conducts his only on camera interview just a few short months after his arrest in Miami, Florida. The concept of the "Soundstage Performances" laid the way to assemble all three appearances on one DVD or home video. The majority of the material has never been seen before. Not only is it rare but it is startlingly great. Providing commentary are all three remaining Doors: Ray Manzarek, keyboards, John Denmore, percussion and Robby Krieger, guitar. Even without an audience, the Doors mesmerize, playing for nothing but the cameras. Morrison still delivers electrifying performances, whether reciting poetry in Denmark preceding "Love Me Two Times" or getting it on during "The Soft Parade" - Jim Morrison's charisma, beauty and brilliance shine during it all. 1 Introduction 2 Toronto Performance Commentary Danny Sugerman, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore discuss the performance 3 The End Toronto 1967 4 European Tour Commentary Danny Sugerman, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger discuss the European tour and Denmark television performance 5 Alabama Song Denmark TV 6 Back Door Man Denmark TV 7 Love Me Two Times Denmark TV 8 When The Music's Over Denmark TV 9 Unknown Soldier Denmark TV 10 PBS Performance Commentary Danny Sugerman, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger discuss the Miami incident and the PBS performance 11 Introduction PBS Studios 12 Tell All The People PBS Studios 13 Alabama Song PBS Studios 14 Back Door Man PBS Studios 15 Wishful Sinful PBS Studios 16 Build Me A Woman PBS Studios 17 Band Interview PBS Studios 18 The Soft Parade PBS Studios 19 The Doors and the '60s Commentary Ray and Robby discuss The Doors and the '60's spirit 20 Europe/Denmark 1968 Commentary Ray, Robby and John discuss the European tour, audience reaction to the band and the Danish TV performance 21 The Miami Concert Commentary Ray and Robby discuss the Miami concert and whether Jim really did exposed himself or not 22 PBS Critique 1969 Commentary Ray, Robby, John and Danny discuss Jim's mindset in 1969 and how the press reacted to the band 23 'The End' Commentary 24 'Alabama Song' Commentary 25 'Back Door Man' Commentary 26 'Texas Radio/Love Me Two Times' Commentary 27 'When The Music's Over' Commentary 28 'Unknown Soldier' Commentary 28 'Tell All The People' Commentary 28 'Wishful Sinful' Commentary 28 'Build Me A Woman' Commentary 28 'The Soft Parade' Commentary 29 Closing Credits Click here to order The Doors Soundstage Performances DVD Click here to return to 'Film/Video page     Copyright 2003, Ray Manzarek.
