They probably won't mind giving a large sum of money to a company like Sony for full rights, but when it comes to people like Mr. Abram with a real gem...wha happened wrote:I hope you are right. Jeff expressed that he/the Doors want all of the rights to the footage. Sony owns that footage, so we will have to wait and see.

I would think that if it was that easy, we'd have a Doors IOW release by now. There was a blurb on the website about a release back when BMA first started. Then Jeff talked about wanting total control in Jan. '05. There are how many IOW releases on the market from varous bands? Still no Doors. That speaks volumes.

A lot of the other bands shows have only been released in the last 5 years, i'd like to see this as a dvd in stores with maybe other stuff like the Doors TV appearances in a dvd box set.
I was pleasantly surprised at the dvd complilations that were in stores after the vhs releases, the 30th anniversary dvd was great and it was good marketing.

After reading the various post's of Jeff's on the LL, I've come to realize he's a business man first and foremost. He has little knowledge of the doors as a whole and he's not interested in learning about the band. Jeff's not really interested in the doors music. His main objective is to make the band money. To be fair, I know his hands are tied whenever Manzarek has a say. And, whatever Ray says, goes.
After giving it some thought, I decided I won't be helping Jeff and the doors out in their upcoming "doors singles project" after all. Count me out.

I cant understand Jeff Jampol's thinking. You would think he has gotten the message by now upsetting us fans about the unreleased IOW show, searching and purchasing tapes from tapers, and purchasing the Matrix Masters from PA by using the tacting our way or no way deal. How the hell does he expect to make money for the bandTheDoorsMusic wrote:Same.jdlaw wrote:I'm most looking forward to Jeff's ass getting fired!

Seems a dead end race from the management. Inevitably, it would have to change.
Sneakers, t-shirts and remixes. BS.
They still have some interesting items that will feed the band for 2-3 years. Then, I guess they will have to change the mood.
Christ, all those 1967 SB! I fear that for every year, month, day, in which nothing changes, there are more chances for the tapes to get lost.
They will have to invest if they want to achieve sustainable profit.

True but like you said it is crap!!!! It's amazing for a man who has been deceased for over 37 years is still financially supporting his old bandmates LOL!!!!!!jim4371 wrote:They make quite a lot of money selling crap with Jim's picture on it.spyma2 wrote:How the hell does he expect to make money for the band

Future releases
Anyone know what Bright Midnight can release after the Felt Forum boxset next year? They don't seem to be purchasing tapes or have much in their archive...

Re: Future releases
Well besides the Matrix set sourced from Abram's tapes, Seattle, Vancouver, and Bakersfield are no-brainers. But we have to wait to see if they actually will get the BMA treatment, particularily Bakersfield. Kudos with that Fillmore '67 gig. They can sell it as a losseless download if need be. It's missing the drum track, but the tracks that are present are really crisp! I think we more or less got an approval of a revamped Hollywood Bowl CD/DVD release as well. Hawaii has been uttered by Jeff before, but that might be a download-only release because of the quality. Even if they do have the master cassette, it would probably only sound slightly better than what we have and wouldn't be released as a standalone CD. Plus we'll see if Jeff attempts to get the rights to Stockholm and IOW.DalloLama wrote:Anyone know what Bright Midnight can release after the Felt Forum boxset next year?

The 2nd gen used on BYB may be gone for good. I spent some time trying to get it, but the only guy who had it can't find it and thinks he may have given the original tape to Robby. The best there is at the moment is a 3rd gen which is missing a portion of "Mystery Train" and most of "The End." The 3rd gen is a copy of the 2nd gen used on BYB. Personally, I'd rather have another transfer of the DCM source which is more complete and sounds like a lower gen. I'm guessing Shaw was Kerry's source for Hawaii. If Shaw still has the original tape, we should try to get a new transfer made of that source.
