# The Doors Collection

The Doors Collection is a music video compilation by the American rock band the Doors, released on Laserdisc and DVD in 1995 and 1999, respectively. It compiles three films previously released on VHS by MCA/Universal Home Video: Dance on Fire (1985), Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1987) and The Soft Parade – A Retrospective (1991).
Dance on Fire (65 mins) is a collection of promotional clips, live concert performances, TV appearances and rare behind-the-scenes film footage. It was directed by keyboardist Ray Manzarek and includes 14 songs one of which is a short film by Manzarek backed by the song "L.A. Woman".
Live at the Hollywood Bowl (62 min) is a Doors' concert filmed live at the Hollywood Bowl in the summer of 1968.
The Soft Parade - A Retrospective (48 mins) includes previously unreleased band performances, interview footage and the Doors' last televised appearance on PBS in 1969 (in the aftermath of Jim Morrison's arrest and later trial for indecent exposure).
Also included are photo galleries, Manzarek's UCLA student films and audio commentary from Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore.
The Doors Collection was released in North America in 1999. The DVD was not released in Europe until 2001, where it was titled The Doors 30th Anniversary Collection (2001 was the 30th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death) and had different cover art (pictured here).
