Absolutely Live is the first live album by the American rock band the Doors, released on July 20, 1970 by Elektra Records. The double album features tracks recorded at concerts held between July 1969 at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood and May 1970 at the Cobo Arena in Detroit. The album included the first full release of the performance piece "Celebration of the Lizard" and several other tracks that had not previously appeared on any official Doors release. At one point, lead singer Jim Morrison can be heard alluding to his prior arrest at a performance in Miami on March 1, 1969. The album peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 in September 1970.
The album was first issued on CD in 1991, as part of the two-disc live compilation album In Concert, and was reissued as a single disc by Elektra in 1996, featuring new artwork different from the original LP. The album was reissued on 180 gram vinyl in its original double LP format and original artwork by Rhino Records in 2010, in both the U.S. and UK.
