The Doors are back open for business. The rock legends behind some of the era’s defining hits like “Light My Fire” and “Hello, I Love You” have announced that a new double live album is on the way. Unbound and Dangerous is set to be released Oct. 23 via Rhino Records.
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the album will include concert performances from the legendary Los Angeles band’s 1970 Roadhouse Blues Tour, which followed the release of Morrison Hotel, including recordings from New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Hollywood. The tour featured vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore.

“I knew Jim was ‘dangerous’ from the beginning,” Densmore said in a press release, per the outlet. “Talented and dangerous. He seemed to want to challenge everything. Then there were his words. That’s what seduced me… those words were about freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom to be free. He wanted to free us all. What a gift. This live album captures that wild spirit.”
‘Unbound and Dangerous’ Tracklist
Introduction “Dead Cats, Dead Rats” “Break On Through (To the Other Side)” “When the Music’s Over” “Roadhouse Blues” “Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)” “Back Door Man” “Five to One” “Build Me a Woman” “Petition the Lord With Prayer” “Light My Fire” “Crawling King Snake” “Soul Kitchen” “Bring Out Your Dead” “The End” “Thank You and Good Night”The set’s 16 tracks include their two No. 1 hits mentioned above, as well as catalog favorites “Dead Cats, Dead Rats,” “Break On Through (To the Other Side),” “When the Music’s Over,” and “The End.”
The outlet also noted that the record will be available in multiple formats: CD and 2-LP set on translucent red vinyl, digitally from all DSPs, and as a Blu-ray with Botnick’s new Dolby Atmos and high-resolution stereo (192/24) mixes. And that it was compiled and sequenced by surviving members Densmore and Krieger, with longtime engineer Bruce Botnick.
In 1970, Morrison Hotel became The Doors’ fifth consecutive Top 10 album, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Absolutely Live, the group’s first-ever live album, followed in July and became another Top 10 hit. Unbound and Dangerous was made from those recordings, with “Soul Kitchen” the lone exception, coming from the band’s July 21, 1969, performance at Hollywood’s Aquarius Theatre.
“Dangerous equates to excitement,” Botnick said about the album. “The fans came in the thousands to Doors concerts looking for danger and excitement.” Seems as though there’s plenty of it on the new double set.
