Although the Doors used 'The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)' as an intro to 'Hello, I Love You,' this time they opted for 'Light My Fire.' Jim's vocal performance is over-the-top. After the last tune is performed, he acknowledges: "That was a good one."

"The Doors appear at 10:00 a.m. to do a live performance of six songs to nothing but a camera crew. The band is obviously tired as they performed two shows last night at the Falkoner Concerthall in Copenhagen plus there is no audience to feed off. The recordings of "Love Me Two Times" and "Texas Radio and The Big Beat" are included in the album Alive She Cried and the video "Dance on Fire"."

"Jim was rested after his hospital stay in Amsterdam. He was also a bit more subdued than usual. He was intent on showing the guys that he could perform well - when it suited him. Of course, knowing that it was for TV and would ve heavily censored should he step out of line, also kept his behavior in more tolerable limits. They guys liked performing live because they could relate to the audience. Of course I was on that tour. I was on every Doors tour from December 26, 1967 until January 19, 1972 when Siddons dismissed me summarily."
