Soundstage / No One Here Gets Out Alive (DVD), Eagle Rock Ent, Music & Performance

The Doors Soundstage Performances are a truly unique compilation of three completely different Doors performances at three distinct stages in their career. Hailing from three diverse environments, Toronto, Denmark, and New York City, the Doors appear in the springtime of their youth performing "The End" on a Toronto Soundstage in 1967; during their ascent on their only European tour in 1968, and again in their maturity for public television on a Soundstage in New York in 1969, where a bearded Jim Morrison conducts his only on camera interview just a few short months after his arrest in Miami, Florida. The concept of the Soundstage Performances laid the way to assemble all three appearances on one DVD. The majority of the material has never been seen before. Not only is it rare but it is startlingly great. Providing commentary are all three remaining Doors: Ray Manzarek, keyboards, John Densmore, percussion and Robby Krieger, guitar.

No One Here Gets Out Alive, The Doors' Tribute To Jim Morrison, is a full exploration of the controversial and quixotic singer, delving into his fascination with cinema and psychology, mysticism and sexuality, poetry and power.

In addition to performance clips of the band in action, it features interviews with all of the surviving members of The Doors and many others who were instrumental in creating and maintaining the legend, from record producer Paul Rothchild to biographers Danny Sugerman and Jerry Hopkins (who wrote the bestseller, "No One Here Gets Out Alive", from which this program was inspired).
