. Featuring more than three hours of music and mayhem, "Live In Boston" finds keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger at the peak of their powers as Jim Morrison leads them on a booze-fueled romp through "Roadhouse Blues" and "Light My Fire", plus mind-bending journeys for "When The Music's Over" and Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train". Morrison scatters spoken word gems throughout both performances, including a short riff on Adolf Hitler where he professes: "Adolf Hitler is still alive? I slept with her last night."

Live In Boston is mixed and mastered by engineer Bruce Botnick, who recorded several shows from The Doors' 1970 tour on multi-track tape for the Absolutely Live album. The superior quality of the original tape reflects Botnick and his team's attention to sonic detail. All but two tracks on this collection are previously unreleased. "These concerts are really interesting and very enjoyable," Botnick writes in the liner notes. "The opening scream going into "Roadhouse Blues" from the first show is stunning and worth the price of admission."

Along with the Cds, we have an eclusive t-shirt that is only available during this pre-order. The Cd and shirt will ship on Fri., July 20th. Your credit card will be charged at the time you place your order. Choose Express Shipping during checkout to guarantee delivery on the release date (Express Shipping is available to U.S. residents only.)

. Patricia Devaux is a french photographer. In the early 80's she had the change to visit many times Jim's grave, in different season. She says that the statue of Jim was like an artistic and even spiritual presence something like little part of Jim being with they by the grave. When the statue was there it was possible to feel Jim's presence very intensively, thanks to what this piece of art represented. Sadly they saw it decay and dissapear rapidly, so "Stone Immaculate" is a tribute to the work of art that has gone too fast, like the one it represented. Now she release a new edition of the book.
