Mr Mojo Risin The Story of LA Woman

By the end of the 60's the Doors were one of the popular American groups known for hits like Light My Fire, Hello I Love You, Love Me two Times, TOuch me etc and were at the forefront of a movement that consisted of an generation of discontents that were against the War in Vietnam and social unrest and change in the USA. The Doors were hip,dangerous and anti establishment who were on the radar of authority who seemed to be just waiting for transgressions upon which they could pounce. this came to a head on March 1st 1969 at an explosive gig at the Dinner Key Audiotrium pushing the police and the audience to their limits Jim Morrison was arrsted for various charges including indecent exposure and incitement. Following the incident in Miami the Doors were not able to tour and went into the studio to record the album that was to become LA Woman which was to be the last album Doors album with Jim Morrison. the group assembled at Sunset Sound Studios at the fall of 1970 to run through the songs with Bruce Botnick the engineer and Paul Rothschild the producer who produced the first 5 Doors albums and Paul quits as producer after disagreeing with the group about the direction of the music. The band and Bruce Botnick went on to produced the album and it was recorded at the Doors Worksop on Santa Monica Boulevard that lasted 4 days and Jim Morrison leaves for Paris as the group were starting the mix sessions to take an break as well as meeting up with his girlfriend Pam Courson to take a break which sadly on July 3rd 1971 Jim morrison passed away. the album went to number 9 in the USA and it had 2 hit singles Love Her Madly and Riders on the Storm. In this DVD it talks about the making of th album as well as the incident in Miami, the inspiration behind the songs, what was happening with the band at the time, Jim Morrison and others and it has interviews with surviving members of the Doors Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Kreiger, Engineer Bruce Botnick, Manager Bill Siddons, Jac Holzman owner of Elektra Records, Disc Jockey Jim Ladd and others. It's an BRILLIANT DVD with great stuff and great stories about the making of the album that is considered of the Doors finest achievements. this DVD has great footages of the Doors live and in the studio and pictures as well the bonus features which has an clip of the Doors doing Crawling King Snake in the studio on GTK, ray Manzarek talking about Riders on the Storm, John Densmore talking about LA Woman and it has an unreleased song called she smells so nice accompained with picture montage. it's an must for any fans of the Doors as well as any rock'n'roll fan and well worth watching.
