The Doors Live at Isle of Wight 1970, to be released in 2018

Who knows? Maybe it does exist in its entirety. Keeping fingers crossed. I wouldn't take Historic Films document as the last word on what we may get. Either way it's going to be good. If Lerner didn't capture the doors entire set on film then why would he contradict himself stating "the film will present the doors' performance in its entirety? February 23rd cant come soon enough. Looking forward to it

 

Anyone know why Isle of Wight was shot in the dark?

 

DVD Total Run Time - 84 minutes

Feuturette run time - 17 minutes

Doors Film - 67 minutes

 

So even the audio disc presents the concert out of order? Why on earth??

 

Heard about this only "Jim Morrison’s unwillingness to have movie spotlights on the band, leaving The Doors to perform almost completely in the dark"

 

Interesting Post.
Historic films is a company who "owns" many footage buy several bands. They don´t sell or licence footage to privates, they licence it to TV companies and music labels for documentaries and full releases. Interestingly, a while ago I asked about some Jethro Tull footage. The price for those reels were in the order of 3000$ per minute for private use. I wonder how much did The Doors pay for the IOW reels, and if they simply bought the footage or obtained it for free after a legal claim.
Insiders may you ask about how the IOW footage was obtained and/or how much was paid?

 

Hmmmmmmm Copenhagen.

 

Pats, do you think we'll ever get PBS Critique on blu-ray?

 

what do you mean?

 

The Doors now join the group of artist that have released their IOW sets:

Jimmi Hendrix
The Who
Jethro Tull
Taste
Leonard Cohen
ELP
Terry Reid
Moody Blues

 

Isn't there one coming from Chicago, in the near future?

 

And Miles Davis!

 

Haven't heard about the Chicago video footage. I think they may be releasing the audio of it next year. Lerner's obit mentioned Joni Mitchell footage in the near future. I'm excited for that one!

 

Yep, that's what I meant...the audio

 

Free's 1970 Isle Of Wight performance is on the Free Forever dvd but they haven't released an audio version and I can't recall if it is the complete show.

 

Does anyone know if any other 1970 shows were pro-shot?

 

according to Mild Equator only Bakersfield was filmed partially. Unfortunately The Doors Guide went off couple years ago, maybe there was more info.

 

The Doors Guide was the best Doors site period.

 

Trying to figure out why Amazon pulled The Doors Isle of Wight dvd/blu ray off of the site? What happened? Has the release been postponed?

 

The DVD/CD combo was pulled as well.
But the release date is still february 23 as per the official doors store.

 

It's still available via Amazon's Uk page. Strange.

 

It’s back on Amazon.

 

I got an order update email from Amazon last night with an estimated arrival date of Feb 27th.

 

Big Price drop
