Comments:
The concert was sponsored by "West Coast Promotions - Linnell Branker" and included on the same bill was Albert King, whom received better reviews than The Doors did that night. The Door received negative press reviews for this concert, mainly due to Jim’s drunken behaviour that got he better of him.
Patrick MacDonald, journalist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer had seen Jim in concert that night and noted that Morrison had become a parody of his former self and the group was on it’s way to becoming an anachronism.
Opening song for the concert was "Back Door Man/Love Hides" which had some really great guitar licks that Robbie played. Aside from the "Alabama" medley that is heard on "Absolutely Live", this is the only other recorded live performance to date which includes "Love Hides", a rarity for most Doors collectors. Jim paused for a brief moment
"A lot of trouble here tonight. A lot of elect...trouble...problems."; Jim was probably referring to the electrical problems that his microphone was experiencing that night. Jim was fairly wasted that night.
"Adolph Hitler is still alive. I slept with her last night. Come out from your behind that fake moustache Adolph, I know you’re in there."
"Jim knock it off, ok ?"; said Ray or one of the roadies who were trying to stop Jim from rambling drunkenly. Jim being "Jim", continued to talk to his audience.
"Lots of trouble, lots of blues.....whole lot of nothing and nothing and nothing to loose, all right.". The crowd was still waiting for Jim to quit his to start singing.
"Remember Miami ! "; a girl from the audience shouted out.
Jim pretended not to hear her cruel joke and asked the audience:
"What was that ? "
In the mean time Ray was warming up on his organ, making a horrible piercing sound.
"That’s a terrible way to talk."; Jim said.
Eventually Jim stopped his clowning around and The Doors opened up the show with "Roadhouse Blues". This version of "Roadhouse Blues" was a fairly sloppy and an effortless performance on Jim’s behalf - his lyrical improvisations between the first and second verse were quite gutless in comparison to some of his other shows.
"Hey, hey, hey, HEY ! Give the singer some. "
Jim told his audience, before moving into a rather boring 20 minute version of "When The Music’s Over", which had just dragged on for far too long. During "When The Music’ Over", Jim was still clowning around as he was making guitar wailing sounds with his voice and causing annoying feedback noises with his microphone. Not just annoying for the audience, but Jim’s childish and drunken behaviour also took their toll on their group as well. According to Riordan & Prochnicky (1991), John Densmore who was sitting next to Vince Treanor, (The Doors Equipment Manager), had cracked the shits with Jim and John turned around to Vince and hit Vince with his drumstick. John had finally snapped and said:
"Make him stop it !"
"I can’t make him stop it unless I shut the mike off and then who knows what the hell he’ll do"; Vince had replied and rightly so.
After all, Vince and The Doors had seen what Jim could do if one was to pull the plug on his mike. The Doors didn’t want too see Jim repeat one of his tantrums, as he did earlier in the same year in April when the management at the Boston Arena had cut the power to The Door’s equipment - nor did they want to jeopardise any other future concert dates that were planned for their 1970 Tour.
At the end of Jim’s clown like behaviour he thanked his audience.
The crowd was yelling out for "Light My Fire" but Jim decided to take up a slower number. Just as he began to sing the first few lines of this song, a female audience member had rudely interrupted Jim’s rendition and shouted:
"Let Krieger do something"; quickly enough though, another male audience member replied:
"Shut the hell up !" which raised a few laughs amongst the audience. Jim sarcastically added to this guy’s reply:
"An angel from the wings"
Although Jim was drunk, his voice seemed to suit this slow bluesy number and told the audience;
"When I was a kid we used to put pennies on the track and watch them smash."
The band slowly started to build up to a superb version of "Mystery Train" that went on for 20 minutes. Ray’s solo was quite lively and Robbie’s guitar lead break also drifted into an eerie "Away in India". Jim finished this medley with "Cross-roads" and went onto play "Break On Through"
The group played one of their new songs, "Someday Soon" which was never recorded in the studio. Afterwards Jim seemed somewhat apologetic towards his audience and possibly trying to make up for his poor performance;
"Thank you for your patience. You know, it takes aah..a few songs to get warmed up. You know what I’m talking about ? All right."
The last songs on this recording are "Five To One". Apparently, "Wake Up - Light My Fire" were the encore songs from this concert but were never recorded. This concert was broadcasted on the Westwood One Show and Vince Treanor, The Doors Equipment Manager, was responsible for the original soundboard recording of this show. This show was recorded in stereo and the sound quality is superb - soundboard.
