Doors live stuff
This "backstage cd has but 1 actual "song" which is found on alotta other disc's . Im an old California guy who grew up with the Doors music , and along with Beach Boys & Beatles , were my favorites of that time . . . . . it is actually mainly talk , tuning , practice / rehearsal time before they did a set in LA somewhere . I know the cd title is
"the private rehearsal" . . . but I had just expected more actual start to finish songs , and not quite so much talking . Kevin Garder.
Great find!
A little rough. You hear the REAL Doors. Perhaps, not for everyone; a "must' for dedicated Doors fans. Price was good, as was shipping and handling. Hope there are more of the live concerts coming. A+.
for diehard fans
This is actually as the title of the cd suggests, a private Rehearsal from the most enduring band from the 60's, this cd is not bad if you listen to it in the spirit it was released, it neither adds nor detracts from Jim Morrison's legend but it is weakest of the Bright Midnight releases and would recommend this cd only if are a completeist or a die hard Doors fans that has a desire to own everything that has been released offically, which is why I own it. This cd was created for the diehard Doors fan, if you are causal Doors fan or wanting to hear the Doors at their peak as a live act, you are better off with Live In Detroit or any of the other Bright Midnight releases.
the private show
this set list was pretty good u can hear the doors practice and rehears there songs if u are a fan of the doors this is reallly good to have .
Take this for what it is...
Without a doubt, this release is strictly FOR DIEHARD FANS ONLY. This 2-disc live performance is nothing more than the Doors during a rehearsal for the Aquarius Theatre (Hollywood, 1969). Having said that, the Doors put forth an electric performance of "Gloria" on Disc One. This version is one of the BEST ever recorded by the band! It completely smokes other live versions released in the past! You also get the benefit of some beautifully improvised vulgarities, which add to this version's jacked-up mojo!!
In addition, "I Will Never Be Untrue" is a live tune that never appeared on a studio release - it is a slow, bluesy number that is well-suited to Morrison's voice. "Build Me A Woman," another non-studio song, is, once again, pumped up with even more vulgarities - it has the feel of a band having fun while rehearsing, which is precisely the terrain this live release covers. It is NOT for the casual fan. . . Take it for what it is.
