Absolutely Live is the first live album released by American rock band The Doors in 1970 (see 1970 in music). Many shows were recorded during the 1970 tour to create the "Absolutely Live" Album. The Doors producer, Paul Rothchild, painstakingly edited the album from many different shows to create one cohesive concert, the perfect Doors show. For example the best part of a song from the Detroit show may have been spliced together with another part of the same song from the Boston show, again trying to create the perfect concert. When it comes to Identifying which song came from which show, it becomes very difficult. Rothchild has said "I couldn't get complete takes of a lot of songs, so sometimes I'd cut from Detroit to Philadelphia in midsong. There must be 2,000 edits on that album".[citation needed] // Many successful recording artists release at least one live album at some point during their career. ...
