This review is from: The Doors: Dance on Fire (Paperback)

"The Doors, Dance On Fire, by Ross Clarke... This fascinating and comprehensive history of The Doors gives a further insight into the band, the aura and mystique surrounding the legendary Jim Morrison. Following the tragic death of the singer The Doors legend refuses to die and their popularity continues to grow. The Doors ventured beyond the conventional realms of musical expression. Their music was surreal and psychedelic. They were more angst than acid. More than rock, the theatrical performances were a ritual of psycho-sexual exorcism. The Doors On Fire includes many rare, previously unpublished photographs and a definitive discography. A must for every Doors fan."

This is a heavy paperback book; 225 pages on thick shiny-gloss paper, measuring 8.5x12 inches, rare, hard-to-find expose' on Jim Morrison and The Doors. Has a ton of black and white photos as well as color close-ups, old posters, and chronicles the period right up to Pam's death. This book is well-researched and well-written, which is why it is hard to find unless you come out to Amazon! Ross Clark has done another Doors book called Strange Days, and also a tribute book to Freddie Mercury.
