DIRECTOR: Paul Ferrara

Filmed by the Feast of Friends crew, The Doors 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl' was officially released on video in 1987 and again in 2012 as 'Live At The Bowl '68'. The filmwork is a mix of 3 16mm Airiflex cameras, one high speed 16mm camera, and features professional 8-track audio recorded by Paul Rothchild and Bruce Botnick in the Wally Heider remote truck.

Although four cameras are in place during this show, final edits consist of three angles only. The high-speed 16mm operated by Steve Wax was not set to start filming until the execution scene in 'The Unknown Soldier', but jammed and did not capture any of the performance. As a full concert film was not intended, there are portions of the show that were not caught on film. During the original performance, Jim's microphone had technical issues, resulting in vocal errors on the soundtrack. Jim's voice was synthetically engineered by Sonic Solutions to reproduce Jim's voice to fill in the missing vocal segments. The original released edit runs at about an hour, while the total amount of original filmwork is unknown.

Synopsis:
"Unless you were there, you've never seen anything like it - the legendary Doors at their peak in this, the only complete concert ever filmed of the controversial superband. Filmed live at the Hollywood Bowl during the Fourth of July weekend, 1968, The Doors perform their most critically-acclaimed music before an SRO crowd. Unlike other Doors material, this once-thought-lost concert was captured by a four-camera crew with 16-track audio (mixed for the first time using digital technology) resulting in a production which enables fans both old and new to experience the actual sights and sounds of this immortal group on stage. Subtle and powerful, elusive and direct, The Doors Live At The Hollywood Bowl reveals The Doors at their dark and brilliant best - now... and forever."
