Any fan of The Doors would most likely enjoy learning a bit more about the band. ( ) Gillian G. Gaar's The Doors: The Illustrated History is a wonderful book for the lifelong Doors fan or the casual fan who wants to know about the band. The key concept in that sentence is "know[ing] about the band." This history tells the story of the band which, of course, is heavily about Jim Morrison; yet the story is only complete when the contributions and perspectives of the other members are taken into account. Where many other histories of The Doors fall short in this area, Gaar excels. She gives Morrison his central place but not at the expense of the other members. In addition to a great history which incorporates the albums, there are also separate short entries on each album written by contributors that focus on the album only. These are wonderful little glimpses into each, for me they represented capsule nostalgia moments, for a new fan it might give you an idea which album might appeal for a given mood. There are also many pictures and images. My favorites were all of the different posters for various shows. Concert posters are such a wonderful look at what the period was like artistically.

Take an up-front and behind-the-scenes look at The Doors. Although their career with their wild and unpredictable frontman lasted barely six years, The Doors are one of the most mind-blowing bands in rock history. Formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film school acquaintances Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, the band became famous for a sound driven by powerful keyboards and haunting, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Rounded out by guitarist Robbie Krieger and drummer John Densmore, the quartet released a string of six highly successful studio albums. Jim Morrison's death at age 27 didn't stop him or the band from joining the rock world's pantheon. The Doors: The Illustrated History is an extensive, chronological examination of the band's career with Morrison - a period which, though brief, suffers no shortage of tales and anecdotes - as well as their short stint as a trio post-Morrison and their more recent collaborations with the likes of Ian Astbury, Perry Farrell, Scott Weiland, and Skrillex. Candid concert images, revealing offstage photographs, and images of memorabilia like picture sleeves, gig posters, ticket stubs, buttons, and more comprise over 250 illustrations. A roster of respected music journalists' insightful analyses of each of the band's studio releases completes this in-depth, up-close look at this intense group of musicians and the legendary music they created. No fan will want to miss it! No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
