Background[edit]

Following a resurgence in the band's popularity due to the 1979 film, Apocalypse Now featuring 'The End', and the 1980 release of the first Doors compilation album in seven years, Greatest Hits, the push was on to release more Doors' music.^{[citation needed]}

The recordings are from various concerts during the period 1968 to 1970 including shows in Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Boston and Copenhagen.^[1] Songs include 'Gloria', originally a hit for Them, and an extended version of The Doors' best known song 'Light My Fire'. John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful joined the band on stage to play harmonica on Willie Dixon's 'Little Red Rooster'. The album was discontinued following the 1991 release of In Concert, a double-album which included all of the songs from Alive, She Cried and Absolutely Live, as well as a few other live tracks.^{[citation needed]}

Reception[edit]

In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau wrote that the tapes are 'of some quality' and Morrison is effective when he focuses on singing, but the album is marred by moments 'when he emits his poetry' and 'narcissistic' come-ons.^[3]

Rolling Stone's Parke Puterbaugh rated it four out of five stars, explaining that it 'brings.. the Doors' impossibly strange and wonderful music, Morrison's drunken loutishness and his stabbingly sober poetics, and the brilliant, vivid sparking of a machine too mercurial to last.' He concluded by stating that 'Light My Fire'.. flares upward into an intensifying bolt of passion that crescendos with.. a scream signifying the communal orgasm of a generation and a decade and a band that would flame out and fall silent all too quickly.'^[4]

In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Bruce Eder said that Alive, She Cried 'helped solve [Absolutely Live's] problem [of leaving] more casual fans rather cold, owing to the absence of any of their biggest hits'. However, he pointed out that 'it also revealed the reason why 'Light My Fire' had not made it onto the prior live album'.^[2]

Live at the Hollywood Bowl is the third official live album by the American rock band the Doors, released in May 1987 by Elektra Records. The concert was recorded on July 5, 1968, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the Doors' hometown.

At a length of 22 minutes and 19 seconds, the 1987 album is the Doors' shortest official release. A VHS video of the concert was also released, containing 14 songs. The full version of the concert, entitled Live at the Bowl '68, was released in October 2012 on CD, LP and Blu-ray Disc. A shortened version of the concert is on The Doors - 30 Years Commemorative Edition DVD.

Recording[edit]

The entire concert was recorded using several cameras and is one of only two professionally recorded live performances of the band in color (the other being Live at The Isle of Wight Festival 1970). The Doors' long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick recorded the concert direct from the soundboard onto an 8-track machine. The recording of 'The End' was used in the film project Feast of Friends, which was not released until November 2014.

Initial sound problems with Morrison's microphone made the opening trio of songs ('Hello, I Love You', 'The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)' and 'Spanish Caravan') somewhat distorted. This was digitally rectified for the 2012 release by Bruce Botnick. The 2012 edition of the concert also made use of some different camera angles than the version released on video in 1987.

Critical reception[edit]

Bruce Eder, in a review for AllMusic, gave the album three and a half out of five stars, calling it 'a good companion to the other live archival issues of its era, although none of it holds a candle to the New York concert included in The Doors: Box Set [1997]'.^[1]
