![]() The Doors - Live at the Hollywood Bowl [VHS] $9.98 Why this footage doesn't come in a live album form is beyond me. In today's on-the-go society, the radical Doors fan doesn't have time to compulsively enjoy this show in VHS format; I personally thought it was that good. When listening to my portable Doors collection, I always wish this was on it. Easily their best whole concert, of the four, that I've listened too. But enough about me. Almost every song here is done very close to its radio-friendly, studio track. HOWEVER, all the intensity, extra-curricular jamming, and that goosebumping grittiness, is thoroughly delivered the way live recordings are expected too. The price definitely compensates for the lameness of VHS, and the audio/visual is very decent. Basically, a serious fan will be happy with this. ![]() Reza-Ray of the Wine $12.99 Ray of The Wine's blend of Persian, Moroccan, African, Indian and Western music is at once earthy, mystical and seductive, as traditional rigor meets improvisational freedom and complex, passionate melodies couple with relentless grooves. Reza is a master of traditional Persian stringed instruments like the Tar, Sehtar and the bowed Tarmanche and Kamanche, as well as the bamboo flute known as the Ney and the Daf, a hand drum. The CD was produced by The Door's drummer John Densmore, who also played drums, and features a stellar international ensemble of players. |
