No matter your opinion of the 'bonus material', there's no denying their abilities to create poetry and melody. I think the instrumental bits are stunning - everything melds together seamlessly and all the instruments evoke the element of fire! And Bill's right, it was mind-altering when it came out in '67. |

That means the day you die, you gotta watch your whole life recurring eternally forever, in CinemaScope, 3-D. So you better have some good incidents happenin’ in there... and a fitting climax!" — The End of "Light my Fire" (18:52) on Disc 2 of The Doors: Live in Detroit . |

That would have been WDAS. Hy Lit and My Father's Son were the two DJ's I remember from those days. My Father's Son had the 10 till whenever shift. We went down to the studio and hung out a few times during his show. We could smoke right handers in the studio, but had to go outside for the left handers. I can guarantee that very few dj's were in the studio actually listening to InnAGaddaDaVida when it was playing back in those days. C'mon Bill dust this off again. Been awhile. |

But the wailing organ solo was always a fave in the days of an AM radio with one speaker in the middle of the dashboard. |

calypsus_1 Nov 27, 2009 - 11:35 | The Doors - "Light My Fire" Live (1967): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6x_m4zvFs "The Doors were founded by Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison in Los Angeles in 1965. They released their eponymous debut album, which contained their hit single Light My Fire, in 1967 and went on to be one of the most controversial and influential rock acts of the sixties. Jim Morrison's early death in Paris in 1971 only served to fuel their legend and both he and the band have continued to enjoy iconic status for more than thirty years." |

The original keyboards, which I believe he still has, are just plain are better. I don't like the modern keyboards, they don't have that magical quality. The only organ I want to get from our modern era is the Clavia Nord C1 Combo Organ. It has copied the sounds of the Flavia, Hammond B3, and Vox Continental on almost a scary level. They are AMAZING! Ray should really use one of those when he performs! " |

But it is interesting that The Crazy World of Arthur Brown opened for the Doors in Detroit all those years ago. Personally, I think Arthur's Crazy World < click here > topped any act the Doors could have put on that evening. YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER! whoops... wrong song again. We trekked to Detroit a few times for rock shows back in the day. Cobo Arena was a great place to watch a concert. |
