Good job, Hardrock! A great live performance by the amazing Doors. I love them a lot, and years ago I even had a cover band that played in venues (I "was" Jim). The absolute best live album by the Doors, a must-have, is the double CD: "In Concert"....òol ràit òol ràit òol ràit!! "Touch Me" is one of their worst, along with the worst: "Hello I Love You". It's crap.

Exactly, they are two sides of the same genius. However, I still prefer the acoustic Miles. There's a CD I've been eagerly searching for for a while, from the so-called "lost quintet": Miles, Wayne, Chick Corea (electric piano), Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette live at the Fillmore East. How wonderful it would have been if they had also made studio albums... they could have become the most advanced Fusion-Prog band in the world! What a shame, really.

The undeniable charm of Morrison, the undeniable charm of those years, the undeniable charm of their best music truly captivates the collective imagination. This film aimed to be an "atmospheric" film to dream the myth rather than a documentary; I believe it succeeds brilliantly in its intent, which is to transport fans of the Doors (and also young dreamers) into an environment rich with charismatic figures and situations, where everything and everyone is "cool" and free, like in the visionary desert scene, which I consider the best moment of the film, even though it’s a bit of a cheat. Val Kilmer delivers a great performance, the soundtrack is obviously beautiful, technically the film is stunning... it doesn’t matter if it’s inaccurate about the biography, we all know the true story is another one! The inaccuracies or omissions serve to make the film more..."cool" and exciting!

But slow piece, medium or up tempo? Ballad? Standard? Original? Are you sure it was Miles and not salsa?

@Odra: in fact, Teo saved the fate of "A Tribute To Jack Johnson" as well, like with Bitches, to the point that Miles told him, pleased: "Ah, you did it again, motherfucker!". I know that Teo played the tenor saxophone, but I don’t have anything of his! Honestly, with the thousands of musical pieces to fill, I think I will have to give up listening to him for reasons of space-time ;) @Lariana, you’re being too vague… it’s not like Miles only made a couple of pieces that are seven-eight minutes long and very varied! Give us a few more clues, maybe about the instrumentation.

I also find the version by Sir John Barbirolli, on EMI label, magnificent. I was hoping to review it myself soon, but "unfortunately" you already took care of it and created a masterpiece!

I DIDN'T VOTE???

Wow! Why don’t I have this?? I recommend it right away…

@Stoopid: the eco-trumpet in the title track of Bitches Brew is phenomenal, and the album in general is remarkable, but it’s important to keep in mind that it was "assembled" in the studio by Teo Macero, Davis's producer. Listening to the complete recordings (a friend of mine has it) is a bit disappointing... it seems like the musicians are just playing randomly, in a completely casual manner; a sort of jam session but very lacking in inspiration! There seems to be a lack of direction, it feels like no one knows exactly what to play... there’s no real project, in short. This time the genius wasn’t Miles, but Teo. He performed a true miracle of cut, copy, and paste, turning fragments of music into great music. Thanks to 47, Fenrir, Novalis, and Zanna. @Muffin: that’s what I wanted to say! P.S.: when are you going to write a review? It can’t be because of your relationship with food, right? ;)

Impostor you are not our shredder of (dis)trust!! I only know Joan Baez by name unfortunately... good review
