The Doors of the 21st Century - L.A. Woman Live
A Note from The Doors' Ray Manzarek: This is the tour that never was. The tour that was supposed to happen when Jim came back from Paris. The tour that we were all eagerly anticipating. In May or June of 1971, Jim called John from Europe and asked him how LA Woman was doing. John told him it was doing great and that the critics actually loved it, too. Jim was excited and wanted to go on the road as soon as he got back to the States. The two of them even talked about taking the bass player - Jerry Sheff - on the road with the four original Doors to duplicate the sound of the LP.

The Doors: Feast of Friends
Producer
Feast Of Friends, filmada en 1968, fue la primera y única película producida sobre The Doors por The Doors. Ofrece una mirada cinematográfica a The Doors en la carretera durante su gira de verano del 68. Si bien nunca se completó realmente, la película ofrece un enfoque estilístico en el verdadero estilo cinémavérité de los sesenta. Las actuaciones de conciertos están intercaladas con imágenes del grupo en su hábitat natural, a veces lúdicas, sensibles, caóticas y conmovedoras. Aparte de algunas apariciones en festivales de cine en 1968, nunca se vería un lanzamiento oficial hasta ahora. Completamente restaurada del negativo original, supervisada por Jim Morrison, la película ha sido corregida de color y limpiada en alta definición con la banda sonora totalmente remezclada y remasterizada por Bruce Botnick, colaborador de Doors desde hace mucho tiempo.
