The Doors Live In Pittsburgh 1970 Torrent

When Manzarek was hospitalized in 1969 due to acute alcohol intoxication, his wife Fujikawa took over the keyboard duties for the band. In 1971, Larry Kirkland joined Manzarek on keyboards and percussion, and they developed a complete band to play with the Doors, the last incarnation to use this lineup. The other members of the band were keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Krieger, bassist/singer Jim Morrison, and lead singer/pianist/harmonica player Ray Manzarek on vocals (second piano). In September 1973, Manzarek and Densmore left the Doors, citing disagreements over musical directions. The band began touring again with Adler and Krieger, and also with Manzarek's then-wife Fujikawa on keyboards, Malcolm Mortimore on guitar, and jazz percussionist Gary Peacock, also known as Peanuts. The band recorded a live album, Absolutely Live. It was recorded at the large Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on August 21-23, 1970, and was released the following month. After the band reunited, Densmore and Manzarek were replaced by Cliff Ross on drums and Jim Gordon on bass. The band recorded Morrison Hotel three months later, and then moved to Phoenix, Arizona to record Apollo for Elektra/Asylum, a double live album that contains live versions of the album's songs with extended intros and outros, and they also recorded a studio album, entitled Live/Dead. In 2001, triple studio album End of the Road was released, containing studio re-recordings of Doors songs.

The Doors released five studio albums and two live albums during their seven-year-run with Elektra, ending with the 1985 box-set The Box Set: The Very Best of the Doors. Five of those albums went to #1 on the Billboard 200, while the 1988 album LA Woman also went to #1. The band's albums went quintuple-platinum in the US, as well as quadruple-platinum in Canada and triple-platinum in France, and gold in Britain and Australia. d2c66b5586
