Music reviews of Live in Pittsburgh 1970
Music Review: Immaculate, complete show of unsurpassed talent
Rating: 5 Stars
Like some of the released live works of the Doors in the past decade, this show more than others pushes the argument again for the survival of Jim Morrison. When the studio releases in 1971,or so, "Absolutely Live" and claims Jim was drunk most the time etc., they had to splice shows...etc as the official story and 30 years later there are a dozen shows to come that are not incoherent or uneven, one wonders. This was a hot show, my beautiful friend, with 3 unreleased songs and the fullest display of Morrison's range from blues, rock to Sinatra vocal touches. Manzarek's and Krieger's support throughout was inventive, jazzy and extraordinary. What made this special is the surprising counter taunts by Morrison when the audience tires of the artsy "When the music's over" interlude and Jim breaks the trance with two or three bird calls straight out of Martin Denny's "Quiet Village," that no reviewer had yet identified. The seamless segueing into and out of formal song structure was amazing. New levels of improvisation, here. No 4 chord wonders, absolutely surprising 40 years on.
Description of Live in Pittsburgh 1970
Recorded on May 2, 1970 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena duringThe Doors final tour with Jim Morrison as lead vocalist, LIVE IN
PITTSBURGH captures a spectacular concert performance from the
legendary quartet. A single-disc tour de force, the album features
over an hour of incendiary energy from Morrison, keyboardist Ray
Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger as
they take the audience on an epic musical journey. The powerful
recording was expertyly mixed and mastered by the Doors longtime
engineer/producer Bruce Botnick, who recorded several shows
from the band s now-historic 70 tour on multitrack tape for the
Absolutely Live album. Along with classic Doors hits and choice
covers, highlights include Morrison s improvisational riffing during
an exciting 22-plus minute version of When The Music s Over,
leading the band into bits of songs they d never played live.
