I followed the Jim link. So you have touched the flesh of a demi-god!
Rock gigs in those days could be pretty violent places. Too much testosterone, booze and drugs. Re: "As an afterthought, The Doors were *by far* the worst band of the era. Ray Manzarek could play an acceptable keyboard combo . . . but Robbie could barely play his guitar. He had to work out all of his parts beforehand . . . The drummer was adequate, but barely. They had risen to fame based only on Morrison's image and his bad songwriting.": The songs on the first two LPs were special. OK, "When the Music's Over" and ""The End" were a bit overwrought but the other tracks stand up well today. "End of the Night" still gives me goose bumps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjY3nfvkJ0Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjY3nfvkJ0Y Manzarek also did some decent work as a producer with LA punk band "X".
