Not much of a fan of live albums to begin with, I approached The Doors: Absolutely Live with trepidation. But that fear was unfounded. This is a powerful and moody concert recording, capturing the energy and intensity of the band at the height of their powers. When I picked this up, I wasn't really looking for live versions of the well known Doors hits; instead, I was more interested in the material that never made it onto any of the band's studio LPs.
The fact that this live document isn't merely a hits package is a plus, since there are already plenty of those in existence. This album is essential to any Doors music collection as it contains songs unavailable elsewhere. Most important here is the complete Celebration of the Lizard cycle, of which we only hear When The Music's Over on the Waiting For The Sun studio release. Morrison's mad writings finally come to life, burping and burbling over his band mates' complementary psychedelia.
Impassioned performances of songs like When The Music's Over, Not To Touch The Earth (its psychotic keyboards injecting even further madness into the proceedings), and Soul Kitchen make the disc well worth the price of admission. The album might not be the best entry point to The Doors' work, but it is definitely a must for fans of the Lizard King and Company.
(EXCERPT FROM AN ANONYMOUS ONLINE REVIEW)
For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye , Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.).

· CONDITION:
· RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b) The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(c) The records come in their original stock inner sleeves.
(d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
