The Doors: Live in Vancouver 1970
Rhino
By 1970, The Doors attempted to move away from its chaotic cocktail of music and mayhem with a return to its origins as a psychedelic blues-rock band. With Jim Morrison’s trial for indecency—stemming from an incident at a 1969 gig—also hanging in the balance, the LA group reinvented themselves as a blues-based band with some fairly heady jazz and pop poetry overtones. That artistic metamorphosis certainly shows at this Vancouver concert as guitarist Albert King sits in with the quartet on four blues covers. The Doors nail all of its classic material and then the band stretches out to jam with formidable focus and nuance, especially on “Light My Fire” and “The End.” The Doors, led by Morrison—the legendary Lizard King—may have winding down in 1970, but the band certainly wasn’t finished creating their own myth.
