"We're MUCH better in person. Our record album is only a map of our work. I'd like to play in a club where we could be with the people. Maybe we wouldn't even play. It would be great to sit down and talk with the audience, get rid of all the separate tables and have one big table." Ray (also backstage): "Yes, people become familiar with us through the album, but it's when they see us that it all happens. Our music short-circuits the conscious mind and allows the subconscious to flow free." Jim Morrison Prior to gigs at Steve Pauls Scene Club New York 1967

"That was the last taped performance of the Doors, I believe, and certainly the last filmed performance. The movie of that festival was recently re-released, I think, and anyone who's seen it knows that our performance was kind of a mess. Not just our performance, really, but the whole thing, which was really captured in the movie: people breaking down the walls and running in, everyone arguing about money, and just lots of bad vibes. Now, that was the death of rock and roll. [laughs] It really pretty much was the end of everything, the source of all bad things about the whole scene, all rolled into one show. Jim was just in terrible shape. He had just come from court in Miami and had lost another legal battle, and he had to go back right afterwards. In fact, three weeks later, he was convicted. We were supposed to go on tour right after the festival but couldn't do it because he had to go back to Miami. All of that was taking its toll, and he was just fucking zonked. He just stood there and sang, didn't move a muscle or do anything. Actually, though, all things considered, it's surprising how good he sounds."
