The Doors
Bright Midnight: Live in America

Yes, because the real dimension of the Doors is live... so why not listen to a live CD of the Doors?

If someone finds an answer to this question, they can also avoid reading the review and then get to the bottom and insult both me as a reviewer and the album in question and the band in general and Jim Morrison in particular with easy and useless insults like ah.

I have to say that the album reflects what the Doors were: moments of very enjoyable music, pure rock, to which no one can object; just listen to the keyboard solo in "Light My Fire" to overturn the argument that the Doors weren't good at making music and achieved success thanks to the idolization of Jim... not that this didn't happen, but behind him was a group of kick-ass musicians, who managed to keep up with his verbal outbursts without interrupting the melody and continuity of a song.

Personally, I really liked the albeit brief version of "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" even though it has little to do with the rest of the album. The version of "Roadhouse Blues" is excellent, very energetic, as is "Break On Through...", which has a great bass riff, where by great I don't mean technically sublime but simply overwhelming.

On "The End" I don't want to expose myself (in truth, it doesn't excite me that much), I consider it somewhat the reflection of Jim Morrison's figure, one of those who, it is said, either you love or hate. Indeed, it leaves me quite indifferent: I find the definition of crazy and/or media construct limiting, but it's also excessive to consider him a supreme poet, though one cannot deny his great talent in writing lyrics. It is also undeniable the influence he has had, and continues to have, on generations of young people, an influence that a crazy or media phenomenon devoid of talent could never have had.

I've finished boring you.
