Product Description
Recorded on May 2, 1970 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena during
The 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.

 Yet another excellent, complete Absolutely Live show March 9, 2008
N. P. Stathoulopoulos (Brooklyn, NY)

Another Doors show recorded for the Absolutely Live album makes its appearance from Bright Midnight Records, once again uncut and complete. (Actually, Doors engineer Bruce Botnick notes in the liner notes that a couple of snippets are forever gone, so a portion of Light My Fire has been inserted from the Philadelphia '70 show, as well as another short piece).
Shorter than the previously released shows, this is nonetheless excellent. Unlike the recently released Boston 1970 3-CD set, Morrison is completely with it here, and the band is spot on. The singer becomes more talkative as the show goes on, and the set list is fantastic, a true gem for any Doors fan. This is the first and by far the best recording of the ultra-rare Someday Soon. (The other version, recorded in Seattle weeks later, pales in comparison with a drunk and distant Morrison). This version has appeared before on the bootleg boxset Stages, though it was incorrectly labeled Baltimore, 1970.
Highly recommended for fans new and old. The liner notes and packaging are very nice, in keeping with the fresh job done for the Boston shows. Looks like the bulk of the material recorded for Absolutely Live has been released, with Detroit, Philly, Boston, two Aquarius double-disc sets, and some (but not all) of the Felt Forum material having already appeared over the last decade. A complete set of those four Felt Forum shows are ripe for proper release.
Apparently, no overdubs on this one, either. Just the original tapes, remastered by Botnick, who continues to be involved with every Doors release. Skip the 50th greatest hits package they've put out, and get this instead. Much credit to the band for releasing these shows. Though they still release far too many redundant packages of the studio albums, they finally got to the vaults for the material fans have been asking about for decades. Easily one of their best live albums.
Essential Doors June 1, 2008

After slurring the blues on the three-disc "Live in Boston," Jim Morrison comes alive for this remarkable Doors concert. Recorded on May 2, 1970, "Live in Pittsburgh" may be the group's finest live album to date -- even better than the Detroit and Philadelphia releases. For 79 minutes, the Doors deliver the goods with excellent versions of "Back Door Man," "Roadhouse Blues," "Mystery Train" and "Light My Fire." The 22-minute "When the Music's Over" is simply astonishing. Throw in a rare performance of "Someday Soon" and you have a definite keeper.
Another great Doors release March 6, 2008

Live In Pittsburgh 1970, the newest release from Bright Midnight Archives is yet another masterful recording. Although somewhat shorter than the Doors' other 1970 concert releases, this show does not cease to entertain. With a 22+ minute version of "When the Music's Over", including snippets from "The Soft Parade" and a completely unreleased track "Push Push" that was ONLY ever recorded live here and never made it onto that album. This release is well worth the money. If you are even a casual Doors fan, for the price you definatly need to check this out.
 Another Exciting Doors Live Album March 6, 2008

Like the other releases in this series, it is as it was recorded, with the show pretty much exactly as it was presented, hopefully this will keep up or until they run out of concert material. I highly recommend this one for the collector more so then the average fan. It is a golden time for hardcore Doors fans to bask in all these previous un-released recordings. So take a chance & get it and the other "Live" Doors in this series. Search our site Judemac Forever on msn, Yahoo or Google it.
Great Live Concert March 8, 2008

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first got this cd. But I certainly wasn't dissappointed. The sound quality is very good. The concert was very good, and the overall feel is excellent. If your a Doors fan I highly recommend it. If your a casual fan, I still recommend it, if you want to hear something different from a legendary band.
