My Morrison encounter: I'm 13 years old in 1966, at the San Jose Civic Center, hanging out near the freight door adjacent to the backstage exit door, Morrison sees me and waves me up to where he was standing, I pointed to myself and mouthed "who me?" He says, "yeah you, there's nobody else there, c'mere kid" I was blown away but I tried to be cool, I walked over nervously and loudly said "wow, hi Jim" I guess I seemed a bit too excited because he said, "why are you hanging out here, what do you hope is going to happen by meeting me?" I was completely, totally at a loss to answer him so I just shrugged and started walking away, he grabs my coat collar, smiles and says, "hey, I might learn something from you, don't leave kid!" I nervously replied "I'm 13, and your Jim Morrison, what can you learn from me?" He said, "yeah, you're probably right, but I feel like talking, he became more friendly and asked "what's your name, what grade are you in, are you a good student?" I replied " I'm Dennis, I'm in 8th grade and I'm just an average student I guess, but I'm a good baseball player." He cracked up and said, "Dennis you probably won't make a life out of playing baseball, you might, it happens but always try to learn everything you can in school, study hard and learn, just try to learn" With that, Jim grabbed my shoulder and led me in through the backstage exit door with him, he smiled and pointed to an empty folding chair and said, "nice talking with you, stay back here and enjoy the show Dennis, we're starting now..... Nothing spectacular, but that's exactly the way it happened, the show was amazing, I left without Jim ever looking back at me, and we didn't speak again.....

That is partially true. The Doors never had a bass player for live performances. In the studio however it was determined that Manzarek's Fender Rhodes bass keyboard wasn't beefy enough for recording so they had a number of session bass players over the years. Larry Knechtel was on the Doors record, Doug Lubahn did the Strange Days and Waiting for the Sun sessions. Kerry Magness did a couple of songs on WFTS, Harvey Brooks did Soft Parade, Ray Neopolitan did Morrison Hotel tracks and Jerry Scheff did the LA Woman bass parts. According to Manzarek he and Krieger directed the session players on what and how to play each song explaining why the live bass parts sound like the studio recordings.

Nice "experimental stretch"??? I assume you're referring to Robbie's improvisational guitar solo. It always gets me, too. If you've never heard it before, go to the album for the long version. Back in the day, the record company (Electra) cut the original version down so it would fit the format for radio and therefore get air play. It's all we had back then--radio, eight track players, Ed Sullivan on Sunday nights and Rolling Stone magazine. No internet or live streaming or satellite tv or youtube and itunes, etc. Whole different (and I think preferable) world. Call me old fashioned....

I saw a great T-shirt a few months ago, it said 'I may be old but at least I've seen all the cool bands'. That surely sums up being between 15-25 when all this great 60's music was made. I have seen many bands from this era but only when they are at the veteran stage, The Stones, Who, Pink Floyd, CSN, Fairport Convention, Incredible String Band. I was born in 1965 but would not have minded being born 20 years earlier. I work with a woman who was born in 1950 and she said that you could go out on the town most nights and there would be at least one great band to see. These days you wait ages for tours and then get charged £50-80 for the privilege of doing so.

I grew up 15 minutes from West Hollywood and saw The Doors twice when I was a teenager. I visited West Hollywood last year with my daughter who lives in California and we drove by The Whiskey (It was raining cats and dogs that night - the day of the Malibu mudslide, which we drove through earlier in the day) and also had dinner at Barney's Beanery. It's pretty much a dive but the food is actually pretty good for bar food and the history of Barney's (this is the original Barney's) is pretty interesting. I ate their original chili, which I was told was one of Jim's favorite meals there, while sitting on Jim's old barstool. There was an elderly man who sat to my left at the bar and he told me that he had been coming to Barney's for over 50 years and even had a few conversations with Jim there. He told me that Jim was "a really nice guy when he was sober - a genius!" My daughter loves The Doors also so we went on a "24 hr. Doors Odyssey" before I flew home from L.A. BTW...the LaCienega Motel looks exactly as it did back in the 60's. That is the motel where Jim kept a room for many years as his "hidey hole." He would go there whenever he was on the outs with Pam, ha-ha!

It was an incredible time, wasn't it? So disappointed I didn't get to go inside of the Whiskey when we were there. It was a deluge and probably the first time it had rained like that in months! I lived in that area for years growing up and don't remember it ever raining that hard. It was cool though to duck into Barney's for a late night "Doors Odyssey" dinner and get the feel of the place. It's essentially unchanged since The Doors frequented it and, from what I've read, they ate there nearly every day they were in L.A. Jim apparently really loved their food, it was cheap, plentiful and good, and it was a short walk to the LaCienega Motel. The bartender gave me a menu to keep as a souvenir. My daughter wasn't that hungry and ordered the S'mores, which was lit with birthday candles. Essentially, as you probably are aware, it's sort of a dive in a dicey area but it was clean, the food was really good for bar food, and you can imagine The Doors hanging out there as the place definitely has an edge to it. I'm sure there were some drunken brawls there back in the day. Janis Joplin apparently landed a solid punch in Jim's face (!!) Being Jim, he went a little too far teasing her and she let him have it. Next time in L.A., definitely going back to the Whiskey. Hopefully, the weather will be more cooperative.

Thanks Melinda for the heartfelt comment. The Doors were the soundtrack of my teens, saw them twice in 68. When Jim moved to the next great plane, I was devastated. Since then Melinda, I've learned, and you reinforce this notion, that he will live forever, through his words, As Jim said, "better to be a word man than a bird man." I've done many 'Doors' related films, you might consider subscribing, it's free...Here is an example...now go with me here. Imagine Jim in the bath in Paris..slumping into unconsciousness. As he drifts to the "other-side", he finds himself thumbing his way to Nirvana, none of the cars stop, until he is pick-up by himself..He turns on the radio and hears the DJ announce his death, his journey forward begins and ends with his life flashing before his eyes in reverse. Finally lost in the desert which he loved, he finds his way home, a Rider on the Storm. kzitem.info/news/bejne/opyDnpqwe3tjooY

The place is actually smaller than you might think, compared to the legendary images we've scene for decades. It looks like they haven't changed it or commercialized it in too many ways since those days--they certainly could, considering its historical significance. up and coming bands still play there, like always. I went out to the back, where in the doors movie they kicked them out of the club and Morrison started climbing the fence as paul rothchild says "come down from there, Jim, let's go make an album". I smoked part of my joint right there, then went in an enjoyed that night's show. had a great time! this mini-documentary is very well done! it's interspersed with some choice historical images, of the place where all the stars went to mingle, dance and "get it on!"

Nearly half of their playlist was becoming the 'San Francisco Sound', which inspired more locals to form bands. All Rock-and-Roll on FM was great in those sunny California days! Then, I heard this strange, wonderful song 'Light My Fire'; they played the *long* version! I was entranced! After that, Doors' songs were charting, and their music was almost hypnotic. Perhaps that Saturday morning bowl of Acapulco Gold helped! All I had to do was light my fire!

There is a great band that may appeal to fans of the Doors: The Black Angels. My favorite modern day band.

The Black Angels are a great band for sure.. saw them live a few times and they killed it. That said, they don't even come close to the energy that The Doors put out during their shows... not as versatile either.

I would sell my soul to be back in the mid-'60s hanging out at Pandora's Box, the Plush Pup, the Whisky, etc. The best claim I can make is seeing the Runaways New Year's Night '76-'77. Up the street at the Roxy I saw a bunch of cool jazz shows, like, some jazz-rock shows like Billy Cobham with the George Duke band, (with Alphonso Johnson), some funny shows like Flo & Eddie (that had Grace Slick and Alice Cooper in attendance). Ah, those were the days. California is a nonstop Liberal/fascist-regulated shithole now.
