I was at this show. I was standing downstairs in front of the stage. It felt like I was seeing something very special. Jim was real - frozen in time as he was in 1970. And of course Ray and Robbie were the real deal. Very cool.
though i had heard it before, i now have to give nod to Morrison's lyrics. he really considered his calling poetry. Jim was reaching for a jazz like spontaneity. he wanted to create at the moment and reduce the conscious filter on how and what was said. Bob Dylan said " poetry is a naked man" god bless Bob.
the singer is probably doing a better job than Jim as time went on. In fact, i believe Jim would have put him up on the stage and hung out with the crowd. Jim suffered acutely from alcoholism. strangely, i assume his death was faked and he finished his life hopefully free of alcoholism and manybe his dream of continuing with poetry. my favorite story of Jim - though a little tragic - he and the doors had their first big show in New York and his mother came to the show. the only comment Jim made later about the meeting "She said, Jim, why dont you cut your hair?" he said, "I never want to see that woman again. " RIP
Wow, just heard this 8 years later. I usually hate replacement singers, but Dave Brock is good. Love this.
