Alive, She Cried is a live album by the American rock band The Doors. The title of the album is taken from a line in the song “When the Music’s Over”. Following the resurgence in popularity for the band due to the 1979 film, Apocalypse Now, and the release of the first Doors compilation album in seven years, Greatest Hits, released in 1980, the push was on to release more Doors music.<\/p>\n
The recordings are from various concerts during the period 1968\u20131970; they include “Gloria”, originally a hit for Them, and an extended version of The Doors’ best known song “Light My Fire”. John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful joined the band on stage to play harmonica on Willie Dixon’s “Little Red Rooster”. The album was discontinued as 1991 saw the release of In Concert, a double-album which included all of the songs from Alive, She Cried and Absolutely Live, as well as a few other live tracks. The version of “Light My Fire” from this album is actually from a variety of sources. “The Graveyard Poem” is a recited poetry piece from Boston in April 1970. It was inserted into the break of “Light My Fire” for this album. “Gloria” was also edited to exclude some risque verses. Later releases of “Gloria” on the Bright Midnight label restored the edited verses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
