  • It is indeed a taped instrumental playing back, the band is miming. The vocal is live, but it's not a missed cue at 1-08. Morrison frequently left out the "come on come on" parts during live performances of this song because he didn't like singing it.

  • It was a bar fight that Jim fled and Robby took the punches for in this typically late-Doors-era performance. It was a live vocal over taped instrumentals and Jim missing the vocal entrance was typical at this point, given how drunk, stoned and falling apart he was. Stephen Davis says in his book "Jim Morrison, Life, Death, Legend" that the band had basically fallen apart by this point and this was the last appearance of anything like "The Lizard King."

  • Yeah, Stephen Davis' book "Jim Morrison, Life Death, Legend" states that this was live vocals over a taped instrumental track and that the missed vocal cue at 1:08 was completely typical of Jim in this latter, sadder part of his life. Additionally, Robbie's black eye was reportedly the result of a bar-fight that Jim had fled after provoking people. The only one around to wail on was the guitary player.

  • You can gett this mp3 at ezmp3grab..com

  • @martinevans123

    You are spot on Martin This is a brilliant precis of how I feel about this record in particular and of the first two decades of the rock/pop era in general.

    What interests me also is the middle aged classical ensemble backing up the music. Such with pathos and grace! Was it a well paid evenings work for them?

  • I would live to touch Jim alright!!!

  • Amazing

    I love that tinkly harpsichord line in the background.

  • @mpjrdldn Huh...he looks JUST like Val Kilmer to me!
