Hasta entonces, The Doors evito todos los principales festivales de rock, aceptando a regañadientes aparecer en algunos de los más pequeños en Toronto y en la costa oeste. Desde el Festival Pop de Seattle, han sido cautelosos con todas las apariciones al aire libre. Ahora están programados para aparecer en lo que a menudo se conoce como el último de los grandes festivales.
Antes de su aparición, The Doors, sin Morrison, se encuentran con la prensa en un pequeño pub a orillas del río en Hammersmith.
Las Puertas originalmente habían sido programadas para aparecer directamente después de Diez años después, pero se retrasaron hasta después de Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
Los Doors están agotados de su viaje y las fechas de corte de las semanas anteriores en Miami. Al llegar al festival, la banda cansada se encuentra entre Ten Years After y Emerson, Lake & Palmer por un lado, y Who and Sly & The Family Stone por el otro. Su intensa música reflexiva no está sincronizada con los actos famosos por su ritmo rápido y furioso. En algún momento entre la una y las dos de la madrugada, las Puertas suben al escenario en el frío festival al aire libre e inmediatamente se ven perturbadas por los sistemas de iluminación y refuerzo de sonido algo exiguos. Se centran principalmente en el material de sus dos primeros álbumes y mantienen su conjunto mucho más
Más corto que los espectáculos expansivos que habían estado dando en los Estados Unidos ese verano. Morrison pasa por alto la inclusión improvisada de otras canciones que habían incorporado en Light My Fire, pero luego interviene con una poesía inédita durante The End.
Su espectáculo demuestra ser tranquilo contenido. Después, Jim Morrison está tan preocupado por su aspecto agotado que insinúa al resto de la banda que espera que sea su última actuación en vivo. En última instancia, los Doors acuerdan tocar dos shows más en diciembre, en Dallas y Nueva Orleans, y esos demuestran ser su rendimiento final con Jim Morrison.
Esta parte del festival también contó con la primera transmisión satelital de un concierto de rock, con capacidad para cubrir el evento en cuarenta ciudades de los EE. UU. Y Canadá. Una compañía llamada Video Rangers hizo los arreglos para que la transmisión se reflejaba en el satélite del Atlántico en color con sonido de alta fidelidad como un programa especial "Metavision" que se emitirá en Nueva York a las 9:00 pm y en California a las 6:00 pm. Los Rangers de video debían haber trabajado junto a Joshua Televisión (ambos utilizando el equipo de Management Television Systems, Inc.), que recientemente había llevado aumentos de pantalla a una actuación de Who en Tanglewood, MA. Joshua White era
designado para dirigir la "transmisión". Programados para la transmisión monumental fueron The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Chicago y Joan Baez.
Sin embargo, a principios de agosto, se hizo evidente que todavía no había suficientes lugares disponibles para transmitir el programa, y ​​los Rangers de video tuvieron que cancelar el evento a regañadientes.
El estudio móvil Pye Records es contratado por Columbia para grabar todo el Festival de la Isla de Wight, empleando los servicios del productor Ted Macero y cuatro ingenieros de grabación. El set de Doors también está filmado; sin embargo, la iluminación tenue da como resultado imágenes de película más bien oscuras.

I was 18 years old and spent 4 days and nights on the hill overlooking the festival site.The nights at the end of August were chilly and all I had was my fathers World War Two army blanket.However it was amazing to be looking down at the lighted stage where The Who,The Doors and Hendrix were performing.Despite Jims death the following year The Doors continued to tour and I saw them again,with Ray on vocals,in Copenhagen in April 1972.Soon afterwards they disbanded.I turned 70 just a couple of months ago but The Doors remain my all-time favourite band.

He had quite the interesting insight to the counter culture of the USA back in the 1960's. He also had an interesting insight into the way a certain part of the music industry would evolve in the future that turned out to be very accurate in regards to the way the electronics industry would change the music world (and the Big/Small Screen (movies and television shows).

[@jaynebhardwaj687]

What can I say about The Doors that hasn’t been said before?. They were and still are THE BEST GROUP EVER!. John Densmore was a Superb drummer who was so clever, so precise. Ray Mazanek was a keyboard genius!. He also accompanied Jim on vocal backing. Robby Krieger an absolute fantastic guitarist. And I just loved the way he shadowed Jim Onstage. And last, but not least Jim Morrison singing vocals. A music genius!. I just love Jim!. He was an exceptionally intelligent man. With an IQ of 149. His gravely rough, edged voice and his high pitched screaming in songs when warranting sends shivers down my spine. And his smooth and yet quite romantic at times, voice when certain songs required it, just melts 🫠my heart ❤️ Jim incorporated “Theatre Arts” with his superb, articulate Poetry. Jim had a degree in “ Theatre Arts”, that he studied in University. When Jim and Ray put The Doors together along with John and Robby as a group they never thought they would ever become Icons And Legends. But they DID and are still very much Icons And Legends. Jim wrote some outstanding Lyrics. And Light My Fire became an over night success and right up until the last of the three passed away, are known for that catchy meaningful song. John Densmore is the only living member of The Doors, still alive today. He is now 79 years old and has become an established author. When you watch musicians perform whether it be playing an instrument, or singing you don’t realise until you watch them perform how clever they actually are. And so very talented. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into performing, touring and staying on top. I just loved Jim’s outrageous antics onstage. A lot of it was part of the performance, but there were times when he was completely out of control. But his fans loved it then and we love it now. Jim wouldn’t be Jim if he wasn’t that way inclined. Everything about Jim fascinates me. He’s so Charismatic The Doors are the Epitome of true” Artistes!.” The preeminent performers of their era. Today their music is NOT out of date. Thats only my opinion some people will beg to differ. And that’s fine with me. Like Elvis Presley. When he appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show only allowed Elvis to be filmed from the waist upwards. He must have felt a deep sense of anger, but we will never know how he felt. Jim Morrison was a fan of Elvis, he said this of Elvis “ Quote” “ He Was The Best There Ever Was!.” And Deserved His Recognition!.” “Unquote” . And said not in Jim’s words, but something ,to this effect . That it was Elvis who paved the way for other Artists. Because he defied all the odds against him. And did what naturally came to him. Which is very true of Elvis. Did you also know that Jerry Scheff also played bass guitar with The Doors at one time or another.?. That’s a fact. But it was when stone faced Ed Sullivan went backstage to meet with The Doors, for the very first time, Jim wasn’t impressed. In fact he was so ANGRY. He looked at Ed Sullivan as a “Stuffed shirt”. He didn’t like the way Ed Sullivan said they looked good, but needed to smile more. And when Ed Sullivan asked Jim NOT to sing the lyrics “ Girl We Couldn’t Get Much Higher” part of the lyrics of Light My Fire. Jim fell silent, His anger welling up inside of him, into a rage like a volcano ready to erupt!. He went out on to the stage and Ray began playing the keyboards and Jim broke into the song he went, as bold as brass with a straight face of contempt for Ed Sullivan . And stood tall and sang “ Girl We Couldn’t Get Much Higher!.” Ed Sullivan was furious and said he wouldn’t have the guys back on his show. “ High” , was inappropriate for a family show on National Television. Because of its association of “ILLEGAL DRUGS USE”. But why should Jim change the lyrics of a song that was popular and had already sold millions of copies?. Light My Fire quickly went to number one on the billboard charts,after being released. The whole idea of going on the show was to promote the group, The Doors manager booked The Doors, for them to appear live on the Ed Sullivan show in the Autumn 🍂 17th September 1967. The group had become active, prior to that in 1965. Jim had a very tumultuous stage presence, but a magnitude of presence. He sure did draw in the crowds of youngsters. They went ballistic for his appearances live in concert. They loved him and hungered for “MORE!.” With his boyish charm and cheeky smile , Jim won them over immediately. He payed hard and worked hard. Even smoked a cigarette or joint onstage. Everything about Jim made him the most wanted man of the group. He wasn’t at all vain,in fact when he first appeared at The Roadhouse he would start off singing with his back to the crowds of people, because he was quite shy. And he would sing a lot of the time with his eyes closed. It’s a well known fact Jim had stage fright!.Jim was a Sharman and would perform his famous Sharman dance onstage and jump high in the air and scream this high pitched scream this was his famous “ Trait.” It’s what defined Jim. I’m 67 years old and have been a fan since I was 8 years old!. when I first listened to The doors and followed their success and enjoyed it for six years of listening I was hooked. For 59 years I’ve been a fan!. Jim always wanted to be remembered for all eternity. And The Doors will be remembered for exactly that. They will live on in our hearts ❤ and minds. 🤔Their Spirit will live on Eternally. It’s so sad that so many videos are archived!. There are a couple of videos of The Doors full live concerts on You Tube, but also a lot of the same only with still video photos. And music. Which is not half as exciting than watching them live. We want “MORE.” Of full actual live concerts to actually be able to see our guys in action. I blare my music of The Doors out every day. I’m enthralled by them. Every time I watch the couple of concerts I have saved of them, I learn something new about them each and every time. There MUST be a way that we can get to see more concerts here on You Tube?. If any one knows PLEASE tell me how we can go about getting these Videos shown. I’ve noticed most of Jim’s provocative videos have also been taken down by You Tube. There isn’t a group today, that could match them. Our groups of the 1960’s are the best that there are in my mind the “ Creme de la creme” “ Artistes” that have put their hearts and souls, into becoming successful. Jim Morrison has certainly, left an impact on us ALL. His dedicated fans. I am PROUD to say I am a fan of The Doors. Jim Morrison, would have written so many more fresh lyrics, had he still been alive today. And given us many more electrifying performances onstage. And his writing of poetry, would have given so many people many hours of pleasure reading. I’m sure too, he would have written many more books compilations of his life experiences. Got married and had children. But sadly his untimely death prevented that from ever happening. We love you Doors and Thank You ALL for the Legacy you left us. Rest in Peace God Bless you. Especially you Jim. Amen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘😘

[@kelvinkloud]

he was a once in a generation talent, esp when he was on his A game... he was very hard to manag. though... electra actually seemed like a really fair label to work w/. In retrospect they needed the ceo of the label to really sit down & man to man w/ him like an elder brother to try to get him to mitigate his appetites & given him a pathway where is career could go 5-10 years down the road. But its hard to say if that woudlve even helped. morrison was smart & head strong, those types are very hard to help.... he honestly wouldve done very well transition wise into media behind the scenes. whether it was screenwriting, film production or writing. he had the brain for it... sad loss & wouldve continued to make an impact if he couldve got more grounded. the film scene in the '70's was perfect for his artistic vision.

Yo había nacido, pero en ese momento tenía 10 años! Me habría encantado nacer una década antes para haber tenido edad para ir a la isla de Wight, Woodstock y todo lo demás que escuché después pero no vi en su momento.

Te comprendo muy bien. Nací 8 años después de este festival. Por primera vez yo oye The Doors en los años 90.

[@BruceMcKinley]

While I didn't attend the show myself, The Doors played the high school auditorium around the corner from my Mom's house in SoCal in 1967. The first album was released and "Light My Fire' was already a mega-hit. The Little Rascals (Love That Dirty Water) opened for them. Tickets were $2. Jim passed out in the bathroom before going on. A friend of a friend dragged Jim to the sink, splashed water in his face to revive him and The Doors went on to rock the house.

Jim never wanted the rock category he always insisted that he was a poet first and foremost. Love the doors really chilled intelligent music riders on the storm is a masterclass in all areas
