Absolutely Live is the only live album released by The Doors during the lifetime of Jim Morrison, and the only one to come out during the active career of the band. It came out in 1970, between the albums Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman. There are some real positives here. Absolutely Live showcases the instrumental abilities of guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and it features a handful of songs not on their studio albums. It also includes the full performance of “Celebration Of The Lizard” (tracks 14 through 20). And there are spots where Morrison sounds great. But there are also places where he sounds like he couldn’t care less about what was going around him. And, of course, as goes Morrison, so go The Doors.

Producer Paul Rothchild has said that there are around 2000 edits on this album. He would have to sometimes piece together one song from multiple shows because he couldn’t get complete takes that were solid enough. The idea was to get the ultimate Doors live experience, but that doesn’t seem to be what they honestly got. Truth is, Absolutely Live is at it’s best when Morrison isn’t singing…or talking, or screaming (the lead vocal on “Close To You” is actually by Manzarek). “When The Music’s Over” is the high point, with Morrison interacting with the crowd perfectly and the band in a complete frenzy. Absolutely Live is, ultimately, a hit and miss affair. Great one moment, flat the next. It’s a live rollercoaster, interesting and important because of who it is. Not their best work, but worth at least a listen.
