This thread is for Jack The Stripper and thrash metal enthusiasts around the world.  :headbanger: :jimi: :)) :)). Joking aside, this is one of my favorite live concerts ever!

This song is so dark and is an underrated lost gem.

Would have been awesome if the band could perfect this bizarre nightmare.

I've always been more of a fan of their radio-friendly work than their experimental stuff. My first experience with the Doors live was actually Jim Morrison screaming out his drunken rants as Jimi Hendrix played on.

Which makes me ask: how much of Morrison's output was affected by his substance abuse?

This is pretty cool. Some of those early versions are better than the official releases. Cool that some of those songs didnt appear on an album until Waiting For The Sun.

^ That is the one, yes. I recognized the intro immediately. I remember buying the bootleg to get the cool colored vinyl and a chance to hear Morrison jamming with Hendrix, and I got very disappointed by the latter.

Yeah that is kind of a cool relic. Could you imagine if they jammed in the studio properly?

I have to find the time to properly discover this band. Apart from some very well known songs, I'm sure to find pleasure in discovering them albums by albums ...

^^^ Fun stuff, thanx for posting Axe  ;D

He did get pretty fat during his heroin period too. On purpose, if you're to believe Oliver Stones account...

^^^ Cool! I don't know if Morrison was particularly wise, but he sure was articulate and he had lot of great insight:

Damn, that was pretty spot on. There was some experimental electronic "contemporary" music already back then, though, so he probably read the cards very well, but still. Noone could've known how much that way of making music would come to rule the world of making music.

he sure was articulate and he had lot of great insight

Indeed, and wise every now and then, but he did do some pretty stupid things too...

"I am the lizard king, i can do anything". He wasn't too kind with the females in his life, either, Pam Courson esp. Bless her, without her he would probably be dead long before 1971.

Yeah, or jump out of moving vehicles!

A clip from "He set the night on fire":

LSD was his early drug of choice, and for months he tripped every day, but soon he wound up on the booze - not at all hip in the California of the late Sixties - and became a shambolic drunk and the laughing stock of Sunset Strip. "He would vomit on people without warning. He pissed on walls in public. He was bruised from jumping out of moving cars at high speed. He had alcoholic tremors,"

"Ride the snake, he's old, and his skin is cold". Then there's the myth of him living on a rooftop, taking acid and writing poems for a month.

But, yeah, all accounts describe him as a horrible drunk, lying in the Sunset Strip gutter. Sounds somewhat familiar...

^^^ Noone in the band is really on fire there. It's not as bad as the clips on the Message Of Love film, but it's not representative of how great they could be either. Jim really doesn't look like he want to be there at all. I think a full performance DVD is mostly of interest to gung-ho fans (like i am with Sabbath), musically i don't think the world would've missed anything if it wasn't released. Sad to say...

But cool to have seen it atleast.

I once went to his grave at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris. I went there to see the people that went there just for that one grave. So many other amazing stones and markers there, but that's the one they beeline to... and it's all cordoned off with zero people being hippies, smoking dope and reading poetry. Just a lot of people disappointed that there's no scene going on there.

Whereas, if you see the Oscar Wilde tomb, especially after a Pride parade... that's a party, right there!

I always liked the performance of The End at the Isle of Wight. That one was pretty good. Not a damn thing can top their Hollywood Bowl performance. They band was at their pinnacle and best of all at their most psychedelic and experimental. I love the set list, all kinds of Celebration of the Lizard scattered throughout!
