What I always found so fun about The Doors is that there’s really 2 versions of the band. There’s the Robby Krieger that got them a huge teenybopper audience. And the Jim Morrison chunks of insanity that made them important. And of course they were in the age when singles still mattered, and those singles mostly Robby’s songs. I often wonder what it must have been like for those 14 year old girls that bought all the singles but not the albums and then they went to the shows and Lizard King starts rolling.
Then I remember the Monkees tour that had Jimi Hendrix opening for them. Probably a lot like that.
Good Comment! I will be sure to tell my First Cousin: Robby Krieger {in the future} about your interesting "take" on the DOORS! I was a 13 year old boy growing up in Surf City USA, Huntington Beach, CA & had so much fun, as I took the DOORS first album to the radio station to play, {in late 1966}.....
