My mother took me to The Door concert in Tucson, AZ in 1968 - I was 6 months old. She said I was cranky with the opening band, but when The Doors came out, I relaxed & enjoyed them. Until about 1/2 way through, the bad acid that was being passed around starting kicking in & they cancelled & sent everyone home. LOVE The Doors! So glad you found them!

The line about Mr Mojo Rising goes back to the blues. Muddy Waters had a blues song years ago called Got My Mojo Working, so the song could have been a nod to him. Muddy helped inspire countless rock bands, including the Rolling Stones who got their name from another one of his songs.

Jim was not really a trained singer. They had to teach him the little he knew. He was a genius poet who stumbled into some cats in Venice Beach Ca who could put his words to music. Read his biography. It’s called “No one here gets out alive”. Fascinating life story, indeed.

"Just another lost angel in the city at night." This is not a song about a woman. It is a song about a city. Mr. Mojo risin'. Those letters spell Jim Morrison.

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

Robert, Jim Morrison lived in Paris, but this as you said is about LA city of nigh, instead of Paris, The City Of Light

@Robert - The word you were looking for is 'Anagram'. Mr mojo risen is an anagram. 😉😃

[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

@Jeannine Doyle - That's not entirely true. He was born and lived in Florida until his college years. He then moved to L.A., attended UCLA and The Doors were formed. He only moved to Paris after the L.A. Woman album was done being recorded. He died in Paris before the album had even been released.

I've watched the 3 videos you done on The Doors. I'm not sure you totally get them. They came on the scene in 1966. The tone of their music reflected the times. The summer of love occurred in 1967. It was a time of experimentation, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. If, you listen to their cover of Willie Dixon's, Back Door Man, you will hear they were influenced by blues music. Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, and John Densmore were classically trained musicians. Robbie Krieger, the guitarist played classical flamenco guitar which you will hear strains of it in some of their other songs. Ray Manzarek played a Vox Continental combo organ. Because they did not have a bass player, Ray Manzarek used a Fender Rhodes piano bass. If, you look at John Densmore playing drums, you will see he did not hold the sticks the way most drummers do. I would encourage you to listen to The Soft Parade, The End, Peace Frog, and my very favorite song of theirs, Indian Summer.

From there last album. Doors never performed this song live. Think this came out 1971

[@HendrixJHE]

Actually it was performed live, their second to last gig in Dallas on Dec 11, 1970. The track on the recording I have is 15:38 long. They also did Love Her Madly and The Changeling at this same show. Rumours are that there was a second set and they played Riders on the Storm but no recording has surfaced of that. Their final show was in New Orleans which is where Jim supposedly smashed up the microphone on the stage and Ray said it was like his spirit left his body. You should check out the Dallas recording. While the sound isn't fantastic by any stretch, its still enjoyable to here live versions of those 3 songs from the LA Woman LP.
