From the Whiskey to the Forum is quite a jump. When I saw Spirit, I think Randy California may still have been playing his Sears Silvertone guitar, although he'd customized it quite a bit. And the club was surely better than the Forum. After all, The Doors at the Forum had to put on this *show*, and surrounded by police and thousands upon thousands of fans, they were limited. In the intimate atmosphere of a club they could stretch out, experiment, and respond to a different mood from the audience. I just discovered Rhino's Handmade site and the live Doors albums available (and Sweetwater). There goes my DVD money for a while! Gil NP: A Chair in the Sky
