Early television appearances, music films and rare footage will make up the bulk of the Doors‘ ‘R-Evolution’ DVD, which will be released later this year. The band just announced the project, which will also be available as a deluxe edition featuring a 40-page book of lyrics and photos. Rolling Stone reports that ‘R-Evolution’ will be out on Dec. 3. The DVD and Blu-Ray will feature rare clips of the Doors performing classic songs like ‘L.A. Woman,’ ‘People Are Strange,’ ‘Light My Fire’ and ‘Break on Through (To the Other Side).’ Commentary from John Densmore, Robby Krieger and the late Ray Manzarek will run throughout the program. The project revisits the band’s rise to fame and commercial peak in the late ’60s and early ’70. Outtakes from the group’s appearance on ‘Malibu U’ and previously unreleased footage from a 1966 Ford training film will also be included. The release comes two months after the 40th anniversary of the band’s breakup in 1973.

В издании содержится сочетание ранних выступлений по телевидению, музыкальные фильмы The Doors. R-Evolution можно увидеть, как группа эволюционировала от ограничений телевидения середины шестидесятых к моменту, когда они получили влияние в масс-медиа и право решения того, как они будут изображаться на экране. От никому не известной группы из Лос-Анджелеса, которая создавала музыкальные фильмы, значительно отличающиеся на то время от традиционных, The Doors создает революцию, которая производит огромный толчок на развитие дальнейших рок-групп. R -Evolution объединяет в себе кадры из ранее не издававшихся выступлений The Doors. Среди них величайшие композиции "классики" The Doors - “Light My Fire,” “People Are Strange,” “Hello, I Love You,” “Crawling King Snake,” “L.A. Woman,” “Moonlight Drive,” “Break On Through (To The Other Side)” и другие.
