Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A combination of concert footage, television appearances, record company promo clips and new video footage shows the Doors, a top '60s rock band. This film would later become part of The Doors 30th Anniversary Collection (released in 1999 and 2001) which compiles three films previously released by MCA/Universal Home Video: Dance on Fire (1985), Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1987) and The Soft Parade: A Retrospective (1991).
