Jeff, was wondering if the LAW DVD will include previously unseen footage of the band. As far as I know, the "Crawling King Snake" video is the only footage of the band around the time of LAW, and before that, the Henry Diltz super-8 film of them while shooting the cover of Morrison Hotel. Without going into detail, can you confirm if we will be seeing anything "new" in the DVD? Either way, really looking forward to it, as I think the whole story behind the recording of this album is one of a kind...

I believe Jeff addressed this.And there will be no NEW footage featured in this program.Well,film footage during and around the time of the LAW sessions.

Thanks. I figured that subject had already been broached, just couldn't remember and don't feel like reading through everything...

Hi Jeff, I have a question about the 5 CD set. I know you've indicated there's quite a bit of material so I'm wondering, is there going to be an indication in the track listing of which takes have made the set? I realize there aren't multiple takes of every song but is it fair to say we might see something like: Cars Hiss By My Window (take 3) and perhaps recording dates? Of course, the most important thing is the music. I was just curious about how the versions might be differentiated. Thanks!

er...buys. Sorry, but Jeff is unavaliable right now.- He is not at home.

Now, could you please go back to kindergarten, they have muffins and juice waiting for you there.

Afterwards you can play in the sandbox with your plasticcars.

Now, you just hop along.

Dude, he just said he will let us know what he knows when he knows it. And it's a pre-order! I can understand if it was going to be available upon order, but why get so antsy-pants over something you will have to wait on anyway? He said the information will be disseminated when it's ready to. I know we are all anxious about these releases, but c'mon people, patience! You're all making yourselves look like those groups of people who line up at 1 a.m on Black Friday and rush The Doors of Wal-Mart when they finally open several hours later. We know this stuff is coming out, and I'm assuming Jeff is not playing games with us, and I'm sure he'll be the first one to let us know when he knows. So leave the poor guy alone about all this release-date crap and at least pester him about something relevant, like the London Fog setlist, or how many Taylor Swift songs are on his Ipod. Jesus...

Thanks Dad. Yawn. Honestly the next time I want your advice, I'll ask. If I want to pre-order something thats my business. Period.

I agree. I'm sure there are a few more hidden gems that they have in store, or know about, and of course we as fans would like to have EVERY concert they've ever performed on film and on audio. But c'mon, we've got to be real. They just can't wave a wand and produce this stuff. I can understand avoiding the boots, but if they know of professional-grade material they should do whatever they can to acquire it and get it out there for us--like the Matrix tapes. Obviously, the FOUR Doors aren't going into the studio anytime soon to record new material, so these hidden gems are really the only "new" stuff we can anticipate, and if they release it all at once, what is left to keep future generations interested? Or even us longtime fans interested in discovering the new and not having to suffer through another greatest hits package? As well as keeping general interest in the band itself? Open the flood gates and it'll eventually run dry...

This LAW box set is probably the most undertaking project the band has set forth for us hardcore fans. Can anyone else name any other band--excluding the whole Hendrix "family" fiasco--that has dedicated an entire five albums of studio material to one album? Not Zeppelin, not the Beatles, not the Stones, nobody... The only thing I think they've missed the ball on so far is getting HWY out there, especially with the recent work on When You're Strange, and not being able to put more "deleted scenes" on the DVD release of WYS, given how many hours of footage DiCillo had access to, allegedly...

Still no tracklisting for those 5 discs, and 40% of the album don't have any complete alt takes according to Jampol/Botnick.  ROTS only has a false start.

Beach Boys, King Crimson, Stooges and Elvis have released large amounts of studio takes on various multi-disc boxes.  Jazz guys like Miles have had insane boxsets dedicated to a single album.

I'm of the opinion that the archive he band has access to has been thoroughly catalogued.  Party to digitise everything to avoid decomposition.  Also photos in the BMA releases how computer barcode stickers that indicates some elaborate filling system.  The band has made a career out of slowly releasing unheard stuff piecemeal.

I read your post 5 times and still cannot make out what it says don't post when drunk it's bad. Anyway Riders on the storm is not only a false start there is a complete alternate version that is longer than the original around 9 minutes long that will be on 2 cd and 5 cd versions. It was posted a while back if you look.

ROTS: original mix 7 min + 2 min of false start (chat or tunning) = 9 min!

Do i have to show you guys everything?  This is Jeff's post from a while ago this is the vinyl version but the cds will have the same songs!!  Read disc 2 Riders all alternate version 9 minutes no false chatter,    your welcome!!



This is NOT the "40th Anniversary Mixes" version. Those versions are going away forever. We had our 40th Anniversary, they were special remixes, we're now past that, and I believe "special" should be just that - they've disappeared.



This is the Doors Vinyl mastering (with some tweaks for digital Redbook), as done by Bruce Botnick, Bernie Grundman and Jac Holzman for The Doors Vinyl Box(!)
