Released by Elektra Records on May 21, 1991, In Concert was a double-album compilation that aimed to correct the historical record. Prior to 1991, the only official live Doors album was the 1970 release Absolutely Live , which, while powerful, was heavily edited and spliced from multiple shows. In Concert offered a more honest, track-by-track representation of their legendary performances between 1968 and 1970.
Whether you are a student of 60s counterculture or a hi-fi nerd with a DAC and Sennheiser headphones, this album represents the peak of improvisational rock. Jim Morrison died less than a year after the Detroit show captured here. In Concert (1991) is the sound of a caged animal pacing, ready to break on through to the other side.
