Sure. It was a night if chaos and wonder..most of us early in our ages admiring our Idol! But it became a shocking disappointing night. At first he was on..really On if you know what I mean. Then slowly he got out there loaded on whatever he was using. Being the times that there were really wasn't too surprising. .being Jim Morrison. But he became angry throwing out slurs. .boring. He started to unzip then not too long after cops came out. Too bad..great poet artist but lost.

because it was not a big event it was hashed together quickly and there were a myriad of bands doing the scene in 1969 the doors had lost that initial flush of greatness by this point

My father was a raging alcoholic for 50 years before he died. His biggest idol was Jim Morrison. As much as I have sympathy for Jim, hearing this audio that my dad so often imitated when he was drunk gives me a really uncomfortable feeling. His voice sounded just like Jim's and he yelled stuff like this at us when we were 5, 8,13,16 years old. Nothing ruins great human being like alcohol.

I don't think he lived a rich life at all, , firstly his life revolved around alcohol and drugs and around people who liked Alcohol and drugs. Between 1968- 1971, most of his time was spent drinking and recovering from the effects of his epic binges . Most of his days were spent at the bar, drinking, except when the Doors could drag him away to record or tour . And the Doors could never mount big tours because, Jim couldn't handle them as he would get tired. . So he never got the chance to mature, and live a different type of life and his experience other things like raising a family, having a wide circle of friends. So his way life was very one dimensional.

Alcohol mixed with insanity, genius, egomania, rebellion, and creativity is a hell of a thing!

OUTSTANDING post--very well said!! I think Morrison really wanted the music to be a fusion of poetry and theatre that took you to a different place in the mind. (And I believe he was quoted as essentially saying this.) I think by the time of the Miami show he was getting fed up with how the original vision he had was getting lost in commercialism and he more or less just lashed out against it. IMHO the documentary film "The Doors Are Open" REALLY captures what the band was all about when Morrison was on and the atmosphere was right--he and the band were brilliant in that performance!! If you haven't seen it you should really try and track down a copy!!

I was sixteen and in love with Jim Morrison. Still am, but I'm going to tell the truth about this concert. The venue only had the capacity for 5000 people. 12000 tickets were sold. We were packed in so tightly that we literally could not move. The band was onstage pretty much on time. Morrison was an hour and a half late. When he finally made it onstage he was completely drunk. He didn't sing one song no matter how hard the band tried. He just rambled and screamed and made no sense. At no time did he expose himself. He did get the crowd riled up and they started moving. We were forced to move with the rest of the people and were shoved all over the room. It was completely out of control and a terrifying experience. We were finally herded outside and it was over. Anyone who says Morrison at Dinner Key actually did more than act like a drunken fool is lying. I think we were lucky to have made it out alive.

Funny thing is, the band wanted him to face the audience back in the London Fog days, be careful what you wish for, yeah, Jim turned toward the audience, but in doing so, it released something inside him that I don't think he, or Ray, Robby and John were expecting.

The thing that I think attracts me to Jim Morrison (other than his voice and poetry readings), is his honesty. No matter how crazy or outlandish some of the things he said were, there was/is this part of you that knew deep down that it needed to be said. I think a lot of his rants came from an honest, sad place because he knew things or felt things that we just weren't getting.

Wow, can't believe I found this. I was there for this. About 50 yards away a little left of Center Stage. A totally wasted and drunken Jim Morrison. Was taking swigs from a whiskey bottle all during the "concert". Over 2 hours late starting. Never finished a song-when he even decided to start singing. Ranting on and on, no rhyme or reason. Cops all over the stage behind him, the promoter, dressed in an all white big collard, flare pants Jump Suit, kept bugging him to start singing. Morrison tota;;y ignored him, and the Band. They tried to start songs, every once in a while he would sing a few bars, then go off on another rant. They finally gave up and just watched the mayhem, and it finally turned to mayhem. The rants went on for about 45 minutes to an hour, the promoter getting more and more pissed, trying to take the microphone from him, Morrison shoving him away, egging on the crowd. The cops getting closer, the band moving away. Morrison getting more sexual with his remarks, started grabbing his crotch. Now, there are different versions of what happened next but I'll tell you what I saw. Some say he did, some say no-- But he did- Unzipped and pulled it out and waggeled. The crowd, by then was going nuts, the promoter was going nuts also. Everyone screaming, booing, you name it. he puts it back in, then in a flash the promoter comes up behind Morrison, plants his boot in the middle of his back and pushes Morrison right offstage into the crazy crowd. A bunch of cops jump down and grab Morrison and drag him back onstage. A bunch of the crowd had already jumped on stage and more and more of them were surgeing forward. That's when we decided to get the hell out of there. We had a designated bus stop given to us by our Coach that would get us back to the Hotel we were staying at ,so we made a beeline for that. You see,, we were 4- 18 year old high school wresltlers in Miami for the State Wrestling Tournament that weekend. Everyone lost right away, we saw a flyer about the Concert somehwere and convinced our coaches to takes us down to the Dinner Key Auditorium to get tickets. I think they cost 5 bucks.. Looking back I don't think the coaches had to be convinced to let us do this, Miami back then was known as the Topless bar Capitol of the State. Just my take on the situation, have no idea, they might have been studying wrestling for all I really know. We sat there on the Bus stop Bench watching every kind of police, fire, and ambulance vehicle go racing by to the riot at the Concert. Got back to our Hotel with a memory none of us will ever forget. It was great to grow up in the 60's and early 70,s.

So this is an edited clip of the 47 minute bootleg. They did perform several sorta songs. This is like the highlights, the most outrageous parts. Rock n Roll.

R.I.P. Jim Morrison (1943-1971)

Ill be 35 in 2 weeks. Since i was a kid i always loved the music, as far back as i can remember. My earliest is hearing "hello i love you" when i was in diapers. Never in my life, has ANY musician, ever been so relatable to me, ive never been able to REALLY feel the person behind the words. And i damn sure, NEVER have been brought to tears by a single "celebrity", rock star, or idol... Theres just that something about J.D.M. that gives so many people a channel-able energy, inspiration, and charismatic relatability, than no one else in history ever could... if i were to ever believe in soul mates, mine is Jim. If i were to ever believe in reincarnation, Jim is the closest to anyone in history that carried my spirit. If i were to ever believe in any kind of cosmic spirituality, it is, and has always been jim morrison. Ive shared the same outlook on life and death, that free spirited, no one here gets out alive, dont be the sheep, drive to the moon attitude.. never happy being "socially acceptable". Never happy following the social code in any way. No authority. No rules. No laws. No life. Just a vessel, viewing the universe through quickly rotting flesh googles. One shot at the skin youre in, so take it, before the skin turns back to dust... I see in these comments. Im not the only one.. and it really makes me wonder... if he shined so bright, that one spirit couldnt even contain his energy, it just blossomed and gave us all a little piece of him forever.. Its almost embarrassing to admit, it sounds like just sone crazed superfan that pines over someone they look up to. But its more than that.. a fan relates to what the star makes, it touches them in some way or another, but thays about it.. i felt differently about jim before i ever even knew what a "fan" was... what "stardom" was.. just from the tunes in my dads cd case among the rest, reading the booklets, like it actually called to me.. Otherwise, ive been a metalhead througout my life.. my playlists are always full of metal, bloodhound gang, and heavy, funny, or hard rock/ish music... The doors, that waw and is a seperate thing entirely, ill never be able to place my finger on... cant even call it "influence", i never wanted to imitate any of it.. but i always feel a deep connection, at a spiritual level, beyond influence, beyond life itself.. impossible to explain yet so perfectly clear.. i can only hope, someday, that deep feeling and connection is revealed after the limits of the vessel expire.. idk.. Hopefully theres something more waiting on the other side..

Kevin Lee, your comment, I mean, every word stirred something deep inside me that it brought tears to my eyes. You literally described how I feel about Jim Morrison, and it goes much deeper than music, it is mysteriously spiritual yet feels so strongly that is hard to explain why I am so connected to his spirit. So often It feels like I am going to burst out from it that is how how strong it actually feels. I see and hear Jim and it is like I see myself in him or the dearest and intimate family member, a brother or cousing, I don't know, it is very mysterious and intriguing to me. We all must be kindred spirits since Jim, you, and many others, since we all are explaining the same thing about him. And, I feel that we are all a tight family, spiritually. I see and hear Jim, and there is something so familiar about him that I cannot put my finger on just one thing, but it too deep and complex, all I can do is feel it and feel and be at peace, joy and comfort. Thank you for your beautiful comment and for existing in this world, because we all share Jim's spirit ♥️♥️♥️

The speech Jim ACTUALLY did was far more intense than the 1991 film.

Morrison was trying to warn us.

50 years ago today

It was not the extradition tangle, the legal battle with police, lawyers, judges, that delivered the mortal wound and drained his spirit, so much as the failure of his revolutionist call to rise up and overthrow the shackles. Although detractors said that he lost control and "blew it" at that fatal Miami concert, it was neither accidental nor a mistake. He felt this, but few would share his view. Badly timed, maybe; not carefully calculated, granted - but it was the logical culmination of everything he was trying to say in words that seemed to go unheard. To the city fathers, what was "indecent" exposure and "obscene" was at the same time, and more accurately, an overwhelming insurrection of instinctual, primal invocation, the animal-language, body-language pleas to the "television-children fed, the unborn living, living dead" to recognize their true nature, the reality of blood, nerves and feeling life. He screamed, "WAKE UP!" a hundred times, in a hundred ways and verbatim - and few eyes had flickered. There was only one thing left to try, and he tried it, and it only served to show him how obstinately society would cling to it's shackles, protect its blinders, and publish those who unlock the doors if its cells. "It my poetry aims to achieve anything," he told me, that April night, "it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel." What destroyed him was their refusal to set themselves free. Miami and the early months of '69 were some kind of turning point for him. When I saw him in September of that year, he was beginning to recover a mild current of the charge which had galvanized his work on those first three albums. Soft Parade had appeared that summer, and it was distinguished by a paucity of Morrison's dynamite presence and raw nerve lyrics; in style and content, it was a striking departure from its three predecessors. But Morrison's energies were opening channels through fields less pop. His poetry, privately printed, handsomely bound, was making its way from hand to hand by that fall, 1969. The following spring, 1970, those poems were published in one volume called The New Creatures* by Simon and Schuster. Also, that was the season of creating Morrison Hotel, and Jim's deep interest in the blues had dug in and was filling him with renewed hopes and plans. He talked excitedly about the possibility of presenting a TV special on the history of the blues. He indicated that he was setting his sights on a new audience, somewhat more canny than the ones who screeched for Light My Fire in big concert halls. He suspected strongly that if he could not shudder the masses with his vision, he might be able to reach a chosen few. He had shaved his beard and looked almost like Morrison of early "ride the snake" nights at the Whisky. But there was a certain daimon that had left him and not returned. He was more solemn, smiled less readily, moved with low vibrancy, without the coiled, ready-to-spring tension, no longer weightless. He seemed almost saintly - calm, thoughtful, resigned. The bow string held back for 23 years and abruptly released - as he once described himself - was vibrating less intensely. He said, with a mocking laugh, "The love-street times are dead." We walked down to the Garden Spot on La Cienega for dinner. That was the evening we talked about drugs. I told him about stories I'd heard of his acid escapades, and he laughed and said, "I'm not interested in drugs," almost scornfully, and lifted his martini glass towards me, rotating it slightly with a smile that said that this was the "Crystal Ship." Another time I offered him some speed, pot and once or twice some very superior downers, and he declined always, once with a derisive shake of his head, saying, "I don't need any pills." That September night at the Garden Spot, we also talked about his lyrics, Nietszche's Birth Of Tragedy From The Spirit Of Music, the history of the blues, and William Blake. Are some really "born to sweet delight." and some "to endless night." Is flesh our prison? Morrison's questions and ideas were similar to Blake's in many ways, as were the two poets' conceptions of the human spirit, its entrapment in blind deadened flesh, and that the five senses are but atrophied filters of knowledge. Jim said, "I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But that unknown was once very well known - its where our souls belong. The only solution is to confront them - confront yourself - with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You ARE free." I asked what he meant by "freedom." He said, "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade your senses for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him - unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him." I needed to understand how anyone could have the power to take away the freedom to feel. rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move.

Consciously or unconsciously Jim knew he had made a bad spectacle of himself, hurting his band. I agree, it was the mortal wound. Getting away out of the country was a good idea, however not with Pam. But for her 'using' he might have completed what he set out for. Paris is for artistic inspiration, there's so much going on! Can't imaging doing drugs and numbing himself, contrary to the purpose. Above all he needed 'medical' attention for he showed physical illness before he left LA it seems.

To have been there.. absolutely priceless. Genius. Relates with the door's work 'Rock is Dead' - which a facet essentially states Rock N Roll is moving away from its primitive intentions. As well as relating to Jim's poetry which discusses the actor and spectator - and the intrinsic values of their roles. Here - Jim was revising the roles.

I’ve been studying 2 people for 30 plus years. Morrison and James Dean. Both happened to go to my rival school UCLA. Morrison had no problem and had fun being the villain. Here he’s like Al Pacino in Scarface in the restaurant scene telling everyone off. I do think Jim was a bit broken from his estrangement with his Mother and Father. That’s the only part of this that’s sad to me.
