Is the L.A. Forum show of good enough quality to be officially released as a download?

My tapes were recorded on a Radio Shack reel to reel unit with literally a 3 dollar mike. I'd say the quality is similar to what you hear on the Boot Yer Butt box set. For hardcores only. If someone would cut me a deal one day, I might be open to getting this stuff out there. But understandably, the Doors don't want totally inferior sounding stuff out there. Is Boot Yer Butt available for downloading? I have to check. If so, they might want my tapes. But we all need to make some money. I'm open to offers. Otherwise, when I'm gone, trust me, my family is gonna toss out all my good "junk". They don't care about my Doors tapes.... Just think of all the stuff that might have been tossed out already around the world. Sigh.....

If I could pick five Doors concerts that I'd wish would magically appear in soundboard quality, the LA Forum show would definitely be one. I've heard a recording of the show before that is maybe 2-3/10 as far as quality goes, but would take any upgrade at this point, and it would be cool if The Doors' camp would be a little more flexible purchasing tapes. I'd say they should purchase any complete soundboards floating around which always has the potential for a successful physical release, and as far as the inferior or incomplete recordings, make them digital-only--I can't imagine them losing money on either venture, but I don't know the ins and outs so I can't say for sure, but one thing is set in stone, that's the only way anything "new" will eventually get released.

Hi Jeff,
It looks like this will come out in October? Is there an official press release? Will a CD be issued at the same time? Were the producers able to use the original live vocals for the entire concert, or did they have to fly in vocals from 1970 Absolutely Live shows?
Thanks!

Will the cd be released as a digipack or in a jewel case?
The suggested retail price for the cd ($18.98) suggests that this is a 2 cd package.
Hopefully, we'll get more info soon.

THE DOORS LIVE AT THE BOWL ’68 Concert Will Be Released On DVD, Blu-Ray, and Digital Video
August 15th, 2012 ·
By Fred Starr
New York, NY(Hollywood Today)8/15/12/–– The Doors supplied plenty of post-Independence Day fireworks on July 5, 1968 when the legendary quartet played the Hollywood Bowl, a concert that is considered to be the band’s finest on film. For the first time, the film from the historic performance has been painstakingly restored using the original camera negatives and the audio has been remixed and mastered from original multi-tracks by the group’s engineer Bruce Botnick. This new restoration offers a stunning visual upgrade from earlier versions and will give fans the closest experience to being there live along side Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, who opined, “You can hear it as if you were at the Hollywood Bowl, on stage with us.”
LIVE AT THE BOWL ’68 will include three previously unreleased tracks from the performance. Technical issues with the recording of “Hello, I Love You,” “The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat),” and “Spanish Caravan” prevented them from being released in the past. Now, through meticulous restoration of the audio, all three will be included, marking the first time the concert has been available in its entirety.
The DVD, Blu-Ray and digital video each feature a 16×9 high-definition digital transfer with both a stereo and 5.1 audio soundtrack as well as over an hour of bonus material. Included in the additional content are “Echoes From The Bowl,” The Doors’ route to the Hollywood Bowl; “You Had To Be There,” memories of The Doors’ performance at the Bowl; “Reworking The Doors,” an in-depth look at how the film was restored; and three bonus performances: “Wild Child” from The Smothers Brothers Show in 1968, “Light My Fire” from The Jonathan Winters Show in December 1967 and a version of Van Morrison’s “Gloria” with specially created visuals.
Jeff Jampol, Doors manager and producer of the film said “The Doors’ live performances were a shamanistic journey into dark rock and roll psychedelic theater – a swirling mixture of rock ‘n’ roll heat, poetry, danger, drama and unbridled musical virtuosity. Captured at the height of The Doors’ magical powers, in one of the world’s greatest venues, this brand new restoration, edit and mix, corny as it may sound, made me fall in love a hundred times, all over again.”

Glad to see an LP release and the whole show restored. It makes one hope for a similar treatment to the Roundhouse September '68 show, for instance. I'm looking forward to this release!

They knew that without him they were toast
91 interview with steven Wheeler
LISCIANDRO: Sugerman's book offended those who knew Morrison best, according to Lisciandro. "Many of Jim's closest friends find that book very objectionable. I call it 'Nothing Here But Lots Of Lies,' because it's full of bullshit. You have to realize that despite what he says, Danny Sugerman did not know Jim Morrison. If you think that a fourteen-year-old can go in a bar and drink with someone, you're crazy. That never happened.
"I know for a fact that Jim did not like Danny," he goes on to say. "Jim told me on numerous occasions that Danny was a nuisance. But because Jim was a nice guy, he was kind enough to give Danny a few minutes of his time. Danny was always pestering Jim. So those stories of Danny having dinner or doing his homework at Jim and Pamela's apartment are hilariously ridiculous. That never happened."
BAM 7th March 1981
PAUL ROTCHILD : Danny Sugarman (co-author of the book) is a fan of The Doors who took Jerry Hopkins' original manuscript and destroyed it. Danny didn't interview me. Jerry did. Danny then changed a lot of my interview to hearsay that other people did. I'm furious about that book and so is everyone else I've talked to who is quoted in it. It's a great piece of sensationalism, very little of which holds to historical fact. The general shape of it is correct, but Jim is sensationalized rather spectacularly, and the best parts of Morrison are not there. The people who really helped The Doors' career are treated in a very cavalier manner, and the only people who come off well in my opinion are the groupies and syocpants who were hanging around the band and close to Danny Sugarman who was a groupie himself".
There's only one thing in the whole process that bothers me, and that is Danny Sugarman's book. If Jim Morrison were alive today, he'd be livid about that book. Not because of the truth it tells, but because of the lies it maintains. Like Sugarman's trying to keep going the myth that Jim might still be alive! That is pure, total, unmitigated bullshit. If Danny had sat there where your sitting and listened to Pam after she came back from Paris, he wouldn't be trying to perpetuate this myth - and that's what it is.

Since the HB thread has been idle for a few days, thought I'd post this bit I've never heard before. On the website mildequator.com, they list confirmed film and audio of Doors-related media, and under the "personal film" section, it states that Paul Ferrara confirmed that Richie Havens filmed Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison backstage, but Richie can't find the film. This website seems pretty reputable, and if this is indeed true, I hope Jeff went over to Richie's house and helped dig through his attic for the footage and it'll be an Easter Egg on the upcoming HB release. Haha, just kidding, but that would be cool if turned up one day. Anyway, here's the link to what I was talking about, and the rest of the site has some pretty interesting information if you've never visited it before:
