THIS HISTORIC MUSIC VIDEO FEATURES AS ITS CENTREPIECE THE DOORS' LAST TELEVISED APPEARANCE, AIRED ON PBS IN 1969 IN THE WAKE IF THE NOTORIOUS MIAMI CONCERT WHICH RESULTED NOT ONLY IN JIM MORRISON'S ARREST, BUT THE CANCELLATION OF THE ENTIRE TOUR. PUBLIC TELEVISION PROVIDED THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE FOR THE DOORS TO PRESENT THEMSELVES IN AN UNCENSORED ENVIRONMENT, AND THE RESULT IS AN ARRESTING DISPLAY OF A MATURE BAND AT THE PEAK OF ITS MUSICAL POWERS. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL IS DRAWN FROM THE DOORS' PRIVATE ARCHIVES, INCLUDING FOOTAGE FROM THE RIOTOUS 1968 TOUR OF AMERICA AND THE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN INTERVIEWS. ON AND OFFSTAGE, SPIRITS UP AND GUARDS DOWN, HERE IS A TRUE AND FASCINATION PORTRAIT OF JIM MORRISON AND THE DOORS AS ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, PERFORMERS AND PEOPLE.
