Originally recorded but not used for the album that became "Absolutely Live", this is a fine complete-concert record of the Doors as a legendary live band. The recording is excellent, the performances - for the most part - first-rate, the set list admirably broad, covering most of the albums through that date. As with any Doors concert recording there are some stretches of tedium where the visual element is missed, and a few tracks that run a bit too long. A welcome addition to any Doors collection, though.

This single disc takes highlights from the two separate double disc Aquarius sets released by Bright Midnight Records (through the Doors' website) in the past few years.

Die hard fans who want everything will go out and buy the two, complete concerts from Bright Midnight. If you don't want to spend, then this would be a good pickup. Just keep in mind you're hearing selections, not a complete show.

Of course, when it comes to releasing the same material in various forms as different products, the Doors have few rivals. (The Who come to mind). They release boxsets and then selection discs from boxsets, single and double disc best ofs and greatest hits.

Great music, just decide how much of it you want.
