Overview

Two discs, two angles on the same band. The first puts you in front of The Doors as a live act; the second tells you who Jim Morrison actually was.

Soundstage Performances pulls together three television studio appearances across the band's short life — Toronto in 1967, their only European tour in 1968, and a New York soundstage in 1969, where a bearded Morrison gave his only on-camera interview just months after the Miami arrest. Much of the footage had rarely been seen. Commentary comes from the three surviving members: Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger.

No One Here Gets Out Alive is the band's own tribute to Morrison, inspired by the bestselling biography of the same name. It traces the poetry, the myth-making, and the people who built and kept the legend alive, with performance cuts and full versions of "Touch Me," "The Changeling," and "L.A. Woman."

Together they're close to the complete television record of The Doors — rare, startling, and remarkably well presented. Essential for any serious fan.
