a bit distorted, but overall it's pretty good. The Doors had problems getting bookings after the Miami farce, they signed up to this as headliners, and a lot of people were just waiting to rubbish them. Jim got Gene Vincent involved, and was instrumental in John Lennon's participation. He even cu...

@slipdrum80 Jim drank every single show. Sometimes he got hammered, sometimes not. It was a shame how things went towards the end. But that was just the deal. I have a lot of 1970 live recordings. On some, Jim sounds like the best singer ever. On others he really isn't very good. the band were us...

@CarGon1 they never played Riders live. It is a myth.

if only someone had a decent quality version of this. They did Heartbreak Hotel at this show too. Ray???

Sounds like Jim - just can't see him singing these lyrics. But there are at least 2 vocalists on this album. The other one sounds a bit like Doug Ingle of Iron Butterfly, and occasionally the vocals have a similar sound to John Kay.

The black Brian Wilson. Massively talented, got the timing wrong in the early 70s. Anybody who knows their stuff loves Arthur.

tedious. Won't be watching any more.

Vile little so-called hardman. Gene stood up to him. I bet Don shat himself.

Always a great rockabilly singer, even when clearly intoxicated. Had no truck from the prick that was Don Arden either - loved those stori...

Astonishing

Poor old Steve. A lot of people gave him a hard time for this film. He was dying with cancer. He tried hard not to let anybody know. He still looked good, and was a tremendously strong man both physically and mentally. Anybody rubbishing him, simply look at what he did, and how popular he is 30-o...
