Quello che mi spinge a comprare un cofanetto del genere per prima cosa oltre alla passione, il culto che ho nei confronti di questo gruppo, culto nato dalla loro scomparsa.
Ma cos'è Live in New York? innanzitutto è un live tenutosi al Felt Forum di New York il 17 e 18 gennaio e poi è un cofanetto di sei cd tutti dal vivo. Le canzoni dei due live sono quasi tutti uguali, e questo può essere un impatto negativo, però ascoltando il live ci si rende conto di non aver fatto male del tutto ad acquistare il box, perchè innanzitutto la registrazione è ottima, le canzoni sono interpretate bene, tranne qualche incidente come è avvenuto in "Wilde Child" e veramente non so cosa sia successo con esattezza, quello che posso dire è che Ray Manzarek sbagliò un passaggio e il pezzo venne saltato su due piedi, ma sbagliare è umano, sopratutto se capita ad un mostro sacro delle tastiere come Ray chi non lo perdonerebbe.
Poi è sempre una testimonianza di un gruppo ormai scomparso nelle viscere della terra, tra storia e leggenda. Volevo aggiungere due parole sul booklet con la storia del gruppo e testimonianze del concerto e del dopo concerto. Concludo nel dire che il prezzo è un pò esagerato, ma se non se ne può fare a meno... compratelo e godetevelo.

06 Peace Frog (03:14)
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
She came just about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs down the length of the city
She came
The women are crying red rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of phantastic L.A.
Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire

And our love become a funeral pyre

19 Soul Kitchen (06:34)
Well the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night
In your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well your fingers weave quick minuets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget
Learn to forget
Learn to forget
Learn to forget
Let me sleep all night
In your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I'll have to go now
I really wanna stay here all night
All night
All night
