@crystalship42 Wow, man. You must not know him. He believed that the whole concert was an experience between both the musicians and the audience, and he drew it out like a work of art, playing on the crowd, which he thought of as being the "Shaman." He played the songs out like a story to make the crowd react to him, and to react to the crowd. So yeah, if he doesn't think he can do that with the crowd, fuck it. He didn't like the people...

@josephbob27 it is really nice that you sound a lot like Morrison, but there already has been one.

We don't want another one, we want the same one (the original).

@jdman331I got your point. Don't get me wrong. He enjoyed been a rock star. But for life? I don't think so.

[jdman331]

@crystalship42 He definitely did want to be a rockstar. When they first released break on through he often asked why they couldn't be like the stones or beatles...instant fame.

The Doors managed get genuine experimental art onto Top 40 radio and into the biggest venues. That could not happen any more. I was there, the excitement was real, not faked. Higher indeed. Great show when I saw them 9 months after this, in 68. And it was not all Morrison, it was truly a group. Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger were genuine stars. In fact, Robbie wrote much of the tunes, Ray provided the keyboard parts and some melodies, Jim most of the lyrics, but not all of them. Great band.

@crystalship42 I always loved that about him too, he was real as can be, he didn't give a fuck what people thought of his art and would frequently challenge his audiences to go beyond their typical ordinary lives into something greater, honestly the real shame is that Jim never got the recognition for his poetry that he deserved during his life, they only wanted the rockstar Jim, not the real person even less the poet!

This is a really good version. Of all the live versions of Break on Through I myself havn't really heard anything with the same intensity as the recorded version, exceot maybe the one from the Danbury concert and of course the one with the Dead Cats.
