The Doors – Live At The Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance

Simply the best I've ever heard The Doors sound live! The pressings are perfect and the new remix from Botnick is incredibly clear, rich, and detailed on this vinyl. Paid a pretty penny for it, but this set is totally worth it—if you're a Doors fan and are looking for that "there in the venue" quality level of live concert sound, this is the holy grail. A must-own for Doors fans!

This is a great listen. I agree with all of the positive reviews found here. Sound is fantastic and a solid performance from this era. I’ve heard about everything that circulates from ‘69-‘70 and this show is much better than I realized. A worthy addition to any Doors collection. Recommended!

Anyone else have a copy full of pops and clicks - mine sounds awful for a new press. Gonna have to give it a clean and see how it fairs

Long time doors fan. I have all of the studio albums, live, some live boots on vinyl, and a few duplicates. This triple lp clear in an awesome trifold is the crown jewel. Finally got to spin it up this morning. All of the reviews are true. This is a must-have for a doors fan. Oh ya, needs to be played LOUD!

I received my copy of this, and I got two Side C&D. The sound is amazing. I am glad they used the original master tapes, and not the digital source used on the CD release. Although I am very upset that I can't listen to all of it as my copy is messed up. I have contacted Rhino Records and they said they are trying to figure out how many copies are messed up. Then they are going to fix the issue.

Sound check a complete waste of time otherwise excellent all round

I have the european edition, It's not on cristal clear vinyl and has a made in Europe on the center labels

This was my first RSD, just curious how much this album was on that day. My store wasn't able to get it in

I've had this show on CD since '03 or so, and it's always been a favorite, but when I heard it was getting pressed for RSD, I had mixed feelings. Like some of you, I'm wary of concert recordings on wax, due to the possibilities of broken-up segues, halted momentum, songs not fitting on one side, or for longer shows, the constant flipping / replacing of discs. However, due to my long-time admiration of the set, I felt compelled to buy it anyway.

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to let anybody on the fence know: it is worth it. This is an absolute pleasure to listen to. The pacing works perfectly with the limitations of the format. The sound is crystal clear-- even better than the mix on the CD. If you like The Doors, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

Got mine this morning from my local record store, worth the wait in the queue than paying some of the prices that are going to appear on here.
