It is a curious thing, it is as if he were a character from some ancient mythology, as if if he had not existed someone would have had to invent him, an interesting guy Jim Morrison

@@deanvo503 Indeed. I think that's what Oliver Stone tried to convey in THE DOORS - Jim as a mythic figure. The fans who complain about ' innacuracies ' totally miss the point.

Jim will always be a legend. A handsome man, intelligent, a performer and above everything, a poet. Never will we see again such an artist with so much charisma.
so iconic. I get cold chills just looking at these. Thank you Jim Coke for preserving these as they should be!
Great photos! Thanks for sharing them with all of us.
What a happy guy, he saw The Doors live!
Love the scream sequence!!!!! "people trusted each other" Jim Coke. So ecstatic that a mural will be hung in downtown Long Beach this fall! Congrats to Jim Coke, and long live the lizard king!!!!!!!!
Oof what a lucky guy!!! Thank you Jims!!! Beautiful pictures.
If I had the ability to go back in time and have drinks with people Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Hunter Thompson, and Jack Kerouac would be a great start. Man would that be fun just kicking back beers and talking to these guys.

That's not Jimbo. Jimbo came out with the booze.
The horn: Jim loved feedback!
Thanks Jim for sharing these treasures. There was a time in the 1970’s and parts of the1980’s there wasn’t much for doors fans to reminisce about. Again thanks.

I became a Doors fan in the early 80's when I was in college. It was kind of a rebirth for them and they became very popular after being almost forgotten. A friend of mine lent me Danny Sugarman's book, No One Here Gets Out Alive, 1980. I read it in a couple of days and soon had purchased all of the Doors albums that I could find. What a great band.
I fuking LOVE JIM MORRISON forever and EVER
Don’t Forget TIME magazine seriously thought Ji Morrison was from a different planet
Still very much alive.

Doors 4-ever! 💋
I’m 70 and love the Doors music. I was 18 when Morrison died. They really weren’t that popular then. A few of their last shows only attracted two or three thousand kids. I remember some radio guy playing LA Woman in 1970 and cutting the song off when Morrison was just getting into his Mojo Rising screaming fit. The dude on the radio said, ‘OK, we’ve had enough of that,’ and just cut the song off, without finishing it.

I recall hearing a L.A. radio dj do the same thing to a new Rolling Stones song around 1989/90. I wonder if it was the same guy.
Jim Coke is a super cool guy with some amazing photographs!!!!

Hi alejandro, just getting around to reading these comments for the first time, nice to see some recent ones. FYI, this was the Fantasy Faire and Magic Music Festival at Devonshire Downs in Northridge, CA. It was a month after Monterey Pop and a week or so before LMF hit #1 in USA.

So he was wearing leather pants as early as summer of '67? I thought those came later...what he's got on then must be pre-Lizard King leather pants

He only had the pants, not the full suit.
Ya think they would have mentioned when and where this concert happened.
This is so cool! When was this exhibition?
His real name is Pepsi.
Any photos of the audience? Wondering if Pamela was up front?
35mm B&W film. Doubt digital would last as long as film.
