A future classic was unleashed in January 1967 as the Doors released their eponymously titled debut album. This documentary in the Classic Albums series takes an in-depth look at the album, with commentary from Bruce Botnick, who worked on the album, and the three remaining Doors--guitarist Robbie Krieger, keyboard player Ray Manzarek, and drummer John Densmore. The three band members also play some of their instrumental parts from the album, offering invaluable insight into how the songs were constructed.
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.
Three different TV appearances ('67-'70) including old interviews, performances and the commentaries about specific songs by band members.

Engineer - Last Session
Jim Morrison, a voz e a alma da banda The Doors, um homem que marcou várias gerações e que ainda hoje nos faz interrogar se algum dia alguém o conheceu realmente. Oliver Stone, realizador pródigo em filmar polêmicas americanas, realizou em 1991 um filme sobre a ascensão da banda, terminando o filme com a morte de Jim Morrison, cuja frase do epílogo deixa a certeza das causas em aberto (dizem que Jim morreu de uma parada cardíaca). É, em seus certos exageros, a biografia de Jim Morrison e da banda The Doors, uma das mais influentes dos anos 1960. Mostra sua passagem pelo conturbado mundo do rock'n'roll, onde as drogas e o sexo reinavam.
