8
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,999
We interrupt this broadcast to
bring you a special bulletin.
9
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,999
Rock music fans all over the
world are in mourning today.
10
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,533
Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors
11
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,999
was found dead in his Paris
apartment this morning.
12
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,999
French authorities attribute the
cause of death to a heart attack.
13
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,733
Morrison was 27 years old.
14
00:02:58,563 --> 00:02:59,563
Goodbye, Jim.
15
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,954
We'll miss you...
16
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:02,400
Jim Morrison was buried today in
Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
17
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,999
The coffin was sealed,
18
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,999
and only his girlfriend, Pamela Courson
19
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,800
and The Doors' manager were in attendance.
20
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,999
With his passing, the future of
The Doors remains uncertain.
21
00:04:14,343 --> 00:04:16,703
I'm Jim Ladd on 95.5 KLOS,
22
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,733
and I'll be here all night
23
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,733
as we pay tribute to one of America's
most original and influential...
24
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
The sixties begin with a shot.
25
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,533
The civil rights movement intensifies.
26
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,882
The war in Vietnam gets
bigger and bloodier.
27
00:05:11,899 --> 00:05:13,999
"President Johnson,
meanwhile, let it be known
28
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,532
that the FBI is closely watching
all anti-war activities".
29
00:05:22,078 --> 00:05:24,211
The youth movement catches fire,
30
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,733
making everyone over 30 a cultural enemy.
31
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,999
The days of Ricky Nelson and
"Leave It To Beaver" are over.
32
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,999
"I have nothing against kissing.
33
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:36,179
But these friends of yours, Penny,
34
00:05:36,218 --> 00:05:38,418
They want to kiss you all night!"
35
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,733
The establishment resists,
36
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,733
but a genuine counter-culture is growing.
37
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,133
For some, psychedelics like LSD
open the doors of perception.
38
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,999
♪ The Gate Is Straight, ♪
39
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,999
♪ Deep And Wide, ♪
40
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,999
♪ Break On Through To The Other Side... ♪
41
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,400
A massive cultural earthquake is
splitting the country wide open.
42
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,467
And out of the crack steps
a band called The Doors.
43
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,533
Name?- Robby Krieger.
44
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,467
Age? - 22 years old.
45
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,533
Occupation? - Guitar.
46
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Name? - John Densmore.
47
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,999
Age? - 23.
48
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,999
Occupation? - Percussionist.
49
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,200
Name?- Raymond Daniel Manzarek.
50
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,467
Age? - Born 2/12/39.
51
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,333
Occupation? - Musician, organist.
52
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,267
Name?- Uh... Jim.
53
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Occupation? - Um...
54
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Jim Morrison is the oldest son
of a decorated navy officer.
55
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,400
At 16, he's already reading
Nietzsche, Rimbaud and William Blake.
56
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,533
He's also obsessed with Elvis Presley.
57
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,200
One teacher sends home a note
scolding him as "self-centered".
58
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,533
He goes to three colleges before
attending the film school at UCLA.
59
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,999
One of his friends there is Ray Manzarek,
60
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,999
who's also playing keyboards
in his brother's surf band,
61
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,333
Rick and The Ravens.
62
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Ray started with classical piano,
63
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,267
but quickly turned on to
jazz and Chicago blues.
64
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,667
Jim, too, had an affinity for the blues.
65
00:07:30,866 --> 00:07:32,942
They shared a common interest in cinema.
66
00:07:33,179 --> 00:07:36,646
They were also dropping
acid several times a month.
67
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:39,057
Jim makes one film at UCLA.
68
00:07:40,617 --> 00:07:41,750
It earns him a D.
69
00:07:43,508 --> 00:07:44,975
He skips his graduation
70
00:07:45,406 --> 00:07:48,016
and tells Ray he's moving to New York City.
71
00:07:51,442 --> 00:07:52,975
But a few months later,
72
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,733
Ray runs into Jim at the beach in Venice.
73
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,999
He's been living on someone's roof
74
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,933
and writing songs for a rock
concert he hears in his head.
75
00:08:01,304 --> 00:08:02,971
Ray asks him to sing one.
76
00:08:03,506 --> 00:08:04,506
Jim hesitates.
77
00:08:05,523 --> 00:08:07,775
Then he sings Moonlight Drive.
78
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,120
♪ Let's Swim To The Moon, Uh-Huh, ♪
79
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,999
♪ Let's Climb Through The Tide... ♪
80
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,067
Ray is impressed by the
poetry of his lyrics.
81
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,867
They decide to start a band.
82
00:08:20,867 --> 00:08:24,558
Jim's already chosen a name
from a poem by William Blake.
83
00:08:25,394 --> 00:08:27,980
"If the doors of perception were cleansed,
84
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:30,737
everything would appear to man as it is:
85
00:08:32,258 --> 00:08:33,258
infinite...
86
00:08:39,875 --> 00:08:43,128
Jim moves in with Ray and his
girlfriend, Dorothy Fujikawa.
87
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,999
Ray invites someone from
his meditation class
88
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,467
to come jam with them.
89
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,200
John Densmore brings his
friend, Robby Krieger.
90
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:56,927
Jim loves his bottleneck slide so much,
91
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,200
he wants to use it on every song.
92
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:06,677
Robby and John like his
lyrics more than his voice,
93
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,533
but something about their
lead singer pulls them in.
94
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,800
In the summer of 1965, The Doors are born.
95
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,733
Jim had never sung before.
96
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,867
Robby had only been playing
electric guitar for 6 months.
97
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,867
His original training was on acoustic
Spanish flamenco.
98
00:09:32,648 --> 00:09:34,855
He'd played in one rock band with Densmore,
99
00:09:35,055 --> 00:09:37,388
when they were both in high school.
100
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,639
John had morphed from a
high school marching band
101
00:09:42,789 --> 00:09:46,256
to a certified jazz freak
into Coltrane and Mingus.
102
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,058
Ray rents a house,
103
00:09:53,375 --> 00:09:55,862
and the band rehearses there all summer.
104
00:09:58,796 --> 00:10:00,388
Jim says they need more songs
105
00:10:00,413 --> 00:10:03,482
and tells everyone to write
one over the weekend.
106
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,933
Only Robby does his homework.
107
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,333
The first song he writes
is called Light My Fire.
108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,867
♪ Know That It Will Be Untrue, ♪
109
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,800

120
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,600
The Doors get their first gig at a
dive in LA called The London Fog.
121
00:11:19,351 --> 00:11:22,999
Still unsure of himself, Jim
turns his back to the audience,
122
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,867
facing the band, like he does in rehearsal.
123
00:11:29,812 --> 00:11:33,585
The talent Booker for The Whisky
A Go Go comes in one night.
124
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,224
She falls for Morrison
125
00:11:35,249 --> 00:11:36,999
and convinces her boss to hire The Doors
126
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,800
as The Whisky's house band.
127
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:42,999
In late 1966, they're
opening for The Turtles,
128
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,678
Buffalo Springfield and Van Morrison.
129
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,460
Word spreads, especially
about the lead singer.
130
00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:56,733
Jack Holzman, founder of Elektra Records,
131
00:11:57,023 --> 00:12:00,223
is so impressed, he offers
them a 3-album deal.
132
00:12:03,265 --> 00:12:06,665
The next night, Jim doesn't
show up at The Whisky.
133
00:12:07,035 --> 00:12:09,999
John and Ray head over to
the motel he's crashing at
134
00:12:10,226 --> 00:12:12,693
and find him out of his mind on acid.
135
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:17,999
When they get him back to The Whisky,
136
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,575
Jim wants to play The End,
137
00:12:19,983 --> 00:12:23,411
a song he wrote about breaking up
with his high-school girlfriend.
138
00:12:24,211 --> 00:12:26,144
The Killer Awoke Before Dawn,
139
00:12:27,383 --> 00:12:28,716
He Put His Boots On.
140
00:12:29,757 --> 00:12:32,890

The Whisky's owner calls
Jim a "sick bastard"
155
00:13:51,374 --> 00:13:52,374
and fires them.
156
00:13:59,147 --> 00:14:00,233
A few weeks later,
157
00:14:00,328 --> 00:14:03,767
The Doors record their
first album in five days.
158
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,681
Holzman brings in veteran
producer Paul Rothchild.
159
00:14:08,117 --> 00:14:10,837
The equipment he uses is state-of-the-art -
160
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:12,525
a 4-track recorder.
161
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:16,041
He lays down John's drums on one track.
162
00:14:16,305 --> 00:14:19,455
Ray's organ and Robby's
guitar take up the second.
163
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,337
The third goes to Jim's vocal,
164
00:14:21,726 --> 00:14:24,126
leaving the fourth for all overdubs.
165
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:34,604
'Light My Fire' and 'The End' are
over seven minutes long.
166
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,067
Both are recorded in two takes.
167
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,333
At Jim's insistence,
168
00:14:40,742 --> 00:14:43,609
all songs are credited simply to The Doors.
169
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,069
To promote the album,
170
00:14:46,124 --> 00:14:48,873
Holzman buys a billboard
on The Sunset Strip.
171
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,867
No one has done this before.
172
00:14:51,765 --> 00:14:53,600
Break On Through is their first single.
173
00:14:54,125 --> 00:14:55,725
It stalls at number 106.
174
00:14:57,866 --> 00:15:00,533
Holzman shifts quickly to Light My Fire.
175
00:15:02,077 --> 00:15:06,062
Rothchild cuts the instrumentals,
and the song hits the AM airwaves.
176
00:15:07,422 --> 00:15:08,856
In July of 1967,
177
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,133
the first song Robby Krieger ever wrote
climbs to number one in the country.
178
00:15:16,648 --> 00:15:20,155
Ray and Dorothy hear it on their
car radio and start screaming.
179
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,800
The first royalty checks give
The Doors $ 50,000 apiece.
180
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:30,866
Morrison's family is oblivious
181
00:15:31,078 --> 00:15:34,632
until a friend of his younger
brother comes over with the album.
182
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,093
He thought the guy on the cover
looked a little like Jim.
183
00:15:39,892 --> 00:15:41,255
The family is further surprised
184
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,533
when they see how Jim has
described them in his bio.
185
00:15:46,781 --> 00:15:48,780
Holzman sends The Doors to New York City.
186
00:15:49,570 --> 00:15:51,237
They're an immediate hit.
187
00:15:52,453 --> 00:15:56,937
Andy Warhol becomes infatuated,
particularly with Morrison.
188
00:15:58,194 --> 00:16:01,233
Then, like The Beatles and
Rolling Stones before them,
189
00:16:01,366 --> 00:16:03,975
they perform live on The Ed Sullivan Show.
190
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,999
Now The Doors!
191
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,867
Here they are with their newest hit record,
192
00:16:08,211 --> 00:16:09,479

♪ Try To Set The Night On... Fire! ♪
199
00:16:39,398 --> 00:16:42,367
Sullivan asks The Doors to
take out the word "higher"
200
00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:44,630
because of its drug implications.
201
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,070
They agree.
202
00:16:47,171 --> 00:16:48,171
During the performance,
203
00:16:48,546 --> 00:16:50,963
Jim sings the song exactly as written.
204
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,267
♪ Girl, We Couldn't Get Much Higher. ♪
205
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,601

♪ Try To Set The Night On... Fire! ♪
208
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,216
It's been barely a year
209
00:17:20,241 --> 00:17:23,550
since their shy young singer
couldn't even face his audience.
210
00:17:24,117 --> 00:17:27,270
Now, the metamorphosis is complete.
211
00:17:55,804 --> 00:17:56,804
Need A Match?
212
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,933
"As I look back over my life,
213
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,867
I'm struck by the postcards,
214
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,133
ruined snapshots,
215
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,667
faded posters of a time I can't recall...
216
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,999
French officials deny any
evidence of drug overdose,
217
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,999
but a cloud of mystery hangs
over Morrison's death.
218
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,999
Some claim he's still alive and
that his death was just a hoax,
219
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,400
perhaps planned by Morrison himself.
220
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,999
Numerous sightings of the singer
have already been reported.
221
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,617
No, the mood I get from most
of it is a kind of a heavy...
222
00:18:50,273 --> 00:18:55,550
kind of a sort of gloomy feeling, you know.
223
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,999
Like of someone not quite at home
224
00:19:00,413 --> 00:19:04,409
Or, you know, or not quite...
Not quite relaxed, and...
225
00:19:05,312 --> 00:19:07,311
You know, aware of a lot of things
226
00:19:07,336 --> 00:19:10,336
but not quite sure about
anything, you know?

241
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,267
The fact is, the music is strange.
242
00:19:56,523 --> 00:19:59,590
It is music for the
different, the uninvited.
243
00:20:00,554 --> 00:20:04,354
It carries the listener into
the shadowy realm of dream.
244
00:20:10,711 --> 00:20:14,710
Part of the strangeness comes
from their lack of a bass player.
245
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,331
This leaves Densmore to hold the beat.
246
00:20:18,703 --> 00:20:22,970
But his jazz sensibility keeps
it both tight and unpredictable.
247
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:31,307
Krieger's flamenco influences
bring another layer of mystery.
248
00:20:32,132 --> 00:20:33,417
He never uses a pick,
249
00:20:33,867 --> 00:20:36,934
playing rhythm and lead
with his fingernails.
250
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,933
But the sound needs a bottom.
251
00:20:41,627 --> 00:20:44,094
Manzarek discovers an electric piano bass
252
00:20:44,264 --> 00:20:46,703
and plays the bass line with his left hand.
253
00:20:47,351 --> 00:20:51,418
He uses his right for chords and
his Bach-tinged blues runs.
254
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,999
The organ carries a hint of the carnival -
255
00:21:08,593 --> 00:21:11,565
both childlike and darkly disturbing.
256
00:21:12,476 --> 00:21:15,475
It's no accident their
second album, Strange Days,
257
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:18,175
features circus performers on its cover.
258
00:21:48,773 --> 00:21:51,772
But if the band has a
surreal fairground air,
259
00:21:52,164 --> 00:21:55,564
it is Morrison who is the
frenzied trapeze artist.

Morrison is both innocent and profane.
276
00:23:23,444 --> 00:23:25,177
He's a rock and roll poet,
277
00:23:26,374 --> 00:23:29,091
dangerous and highly intelligent.
278
00:23:31,265 --> 00:23:34,332
No one has had this exact
combination before.
279
00:24:14,398 --> 00:24:16,265
No matter how high he flies,
280
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:17,999
his bandmates are always there
281
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,733
to catch him and guide him back to earth.
282
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:15,343
Their first hit of fame
is sudden and intense.
283
00:25:17,391 --> 00:25:19,390
I even like them more than The Beatles!
284
00:25:19,523 --> 00:25:21,990
The Doors, they are so much better!
285
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,999
Do you think you're a political group?
286
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
We're, um...
287
00:25:29,726 --> 00:25:33,567
Foremost, we're, um...
Musicians and writers.
288
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,999
No, you can't take a lit cigarette.
Sorry.
289
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,999
I'll see how I feel after a beer.
290
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,999
You want people to like you?
291
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,133
Well, I'd like them to listen.
292
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,973
I'd like them to... Give
the music a chance, and...
293
00:25:57,593 --> 00:25:58,593
Just to listen.
294
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,975
The music can't help
295
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,533
but reflecting things that
are happening around you.
296
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,999
I think for your own sake,
297
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,999
while all the police are out
there containing the kids,
298
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,096
you ought to get in the car and split.
I really do.
299
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,667
Unless he wants to get...
300
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,933
Yeah, I mean, it's up to him.
301
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,467
It's up to him, unless he wants to...
302
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:30,011
Have them grab at his body.
303
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,533
If he doesn't want it, I'll take it.
304
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
And Bill and Todd will
take the leftovers.
305
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Aloha!
306
00:26:57,108 --> 00:26:59,975
I've noticed that when people are joking,
307
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,933
they're usually dead serious.
308
00:27:02,237 --> 00:27:04,975
And when they're dead serious,
it's usually pretty funny.
309
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,333
You should say that at a concert.
310
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,133
Is your band like The Monkees?
311
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,000
The Monkees?
312
00:27:12,296 --> 00:27:14,029
I said like The Monkees.
313
00:27:18,742 --> 00:27:20,809
All of our music is really so
314
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,600
symbolic rather than direct
to the point, you know...
315
00:27:28,492 --> 00:27:30,759
Everybody's always talking about
316
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,533
rock and roll and jazz finally
blending, you know...
317
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,999
And I don't think that can
really happen, but...
318
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,533
If it's supposed to, I think we're it.
319
00:27:47,304 --> 00:27:50,304
OK, this time, can you
look to me, please?
320
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,867
I want to touch The Doors!
321
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,533
Hey, quit knocking on the door. Hey!
322
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,467
Can you get Jim out?
323
00:27:58,719 --> 00:28:00,718
Come on, just take one picture.
324
00:28:01,304 --> 00:28:02,704
We paid to be here!
325
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,267
Most of the attention goes to Jim.
326
00:28:07,695 --> 00:28:09,895
If it bothers Robby, Ray or John,
327
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,253
they don't outwardly show it.
328
00:28:12,835 --> 00:28:14,902
But Jim relishes the attention.
329
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,533
He seems to have been born
instantly ready for fame.
330
00:28:29,203 --> 00:28:31,936
Everything he does seems either brilliant
331
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,833
or brilliantly calculated for effect.
332
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,133
I think, you know, these days,
333
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,667
especially in The States, you have to be
334
00:28:45,882 --> 00:28:47,682
a politician or an assassin
335
00:28:47,734 --> 00:28:50,267
or something to really be a superstar.
336
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,999
Without a personal manager or publicist,
337
00:28:56,642 --> 00:28:58,975
Jim takes control of his own image.
338
00:28:59,341 --> 00:29:01,100
He picks out all his clothes,
339
00:29:01,125 --> 00:29:03,443
from the conch belts to the leather pants
340
00:29:03,859 --> 00:29:06,859
seemingly designed to
accentuate his crotch.
341
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,300
Hi! Hi, Jim!
342
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,267
We're gotta go to the...
dressing room, right?
343
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
All right, man.
344
00:29:23,304 --> 00:29:26,637
OK, we're going to go
to the dressing room now.
345
00:29:27,718 --> 00:29:29,985
Wait a while, don't get out yet.
346
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,815
He understood exactly how to
make it all work for him,
347
00:29:34,542 --> 00:29:36,358
and perhaps to protect himself,
348
00:29:36,437 --> 00:29:39,304
he made it seem like he couldn't care less.
349
00:29:46,108 --> 00:29:50,589
In 1968, The Who opened for The Doors
at The Singer Bowl on Long Island.
350
00:29:51,428 --> 00:29:52,518
Don't go in,
351
00:29:53,441 --> 00:29:54,572
we need you.
352
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,999
How much are these?
353
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
$ 1.
354
00:30:14,289 --> 00:30:17,289
Can I look at it first
to see what I want?
355
00:30:20,484 --> 00:30:21,484
I've got one.
356
00:30:24,523 --> 00:30:25,790
How much are those?
357
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
$ 1. - $ 1?
358
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,999
It's hard to tell if he's
simply mingling with his fans
359
00:30:31,323 --> 00:30:34,201
or if he's drawing something
crucial from them,
360
00:30:34,226 --> 00:30:37,417
as if he needs their attention to survive.
361
00:30:38,484 --> 00:30:40,551
Make sure that The Doors know
362
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,999
that New York collectively
welcomes them at The Singer Bowl.
363
00:30:45,378 --> 00:30:47,839
The Doors! The Doors!
364
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,534
The Singer Bowl crowd is already worked up.
365
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:03,224
Morrison stokes them further.
366
00:31:03,249 --> 00:31:05,316
♪ No One Here Gets Out Alive Now. ♪
367
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,726
♪ You Get Yours, Mama, I'll Get Mine. ♪
368
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,515
♪ Gonna Make It, Baby... Come On! ♪
369
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,533
Someone throws a chair.
370
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,800
Everybody feel all right?
371
00:31:34,308 --> 00:31:36,975
The show is over, kids, so go on home.
372
00:31:38,139 --> 00:31:39,539
Yes, please, go home.
373
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,071
She's too heavy.
374
00:31:47,672 --> 00:31:49,687
Stay where you are.
375
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,400
No, she's... She was just
an innocent bystander.
376
00:31:53,719 --> 00:31:54,719
That became a victim.
377
00:31:54,890 --> 00:31:55,976
And someone whacked her with a chair.
378
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,999
- Why'd they whack her with a chair?
- I don't know.
379
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,999
- Are you sure it was a chair?
- I don't know what it was.
380
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,999
Someone hit me, I fell,
and I wound up here.
381
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,999
Where did they get a chair?
There weren't any chairs.
382
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000
I don't know.
383
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,287
Earlier in the concert, Jeff Silverman
is taking pictures in the front row.
384
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,200
He sees Jim look directly at a
young girl and grab his crotch.
385
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,999
Her boyfriend picks up a chair.
386
00:32:19,334 --> 00:32:22,552
According to Silverman, it was
the first chair to be thrown.
387
00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:26,068
It's already coagulating. I
think you're going to be OK.
388
00:32:30,523 --> 00:32:32,404
I am The Lizard King!
389
00:32:34,116 --> 00:32:35,844
I can do anything!
390
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,999
Morrison's poem, The
Celebration Of The Lizard,
391
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,733
was to take up one whole side
of The Doors' next album,
392
00:32:49,554 --> 00:32:52,310
but Paul Rothchild chooses
not to include it.
393
00:32:53,741 --> 00:32:56,310
Jim's behavior is becoming unpredictable,
394
00:32:57,201 --> 00:32:59,398
and Rothchild is under pressure
to get another record out
395
00:32:59,422 --> 00:33:00,889
while the band is hot.
396
00:33:02,367 --> 00:33:05,826
He fills out the side with unused
songs from their first album.
397
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,067
Despite the raw intensity of new songs
like 'Five To One' and 'Unknown Soldier'
398
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,800
critics dismiss the record.
399
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,999
But fans judge it differently.
400
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,631
Both the album and Morrison's
Hello, I Love You hit number one.
401
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Something like that.
402
00:33:41,429 --> 00:33:44,138
Don't overblow, Jim. You
got a long way to go.
403
00:33:44,905 --> 00:33:46,066
Why not?
404
00:33:49,562 --> 00:33:53,388
In 1968, The Doors begin
recording The Soft Parade.
405
00:33:56,101 --> 00:34:00,168
Paul Rothchild produces, with
Bruce Botnick as his engineer.
406
00:34:03,093 --> 00:34:06,560
Jim has begun coming into
the studio drunk or high.
407
00:34:09,186 --> 00:34:12,053
Robby writes half the songs on Soft Parade,
408
00:34:12,304 --> 00:34:16,076
and for the first time he and Jim
separate their writing credits.
409
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,999
Well, you know what Robby's
trying to do, that sound.
410
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,333
Yeah, I know that.
411
00:34:27,867 --> 00:34:29,866
Stupidest ending I've
ever heard on any song.
412
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,999
What's stupid, the ending?
413
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,400
Yeah. Yeah, just...
414
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,999
How's that again?
415
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Robby does two, John one, I
do two, and then you come in.
416
00:34:46,390 --> 00:34:50,849
That sounds good, Robby. Here we go.

So like I was telling you, honey,
429
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,267
before these cameramen came along,
430
00:37:05,913 --> 00:37:07,246
death in our time...
431
00:37:11,062 --> 00:37:12,062
Yes, yes?
432
00:37:12,562 --> 00:37:14,162
Oh, man, I don't know.
433
00:37:16,835 --> 00:37:20,636
And by 1968, the country
was radically changed.
434
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,999
And I pledge, if you give me your help,
435
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,667
if you give me your hand,
436
00:37:26,242 --> 00:37:27,241
that I will work with you,
437
00:37:27,266 --> 00:37:29,265
and we will have a new America!
438
00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:30,692
Thank you very much!
439
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,800
Ray originally thought LSD was
the key to enlightenment.
440
00:37:41,476 --> 00:37:45,409
But a series of bad trips sends
him in a different direction.
441
00:37:48,476 --> 00:37:51,566
He turned to meditation,
along with Robby and John,
442
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,560
attempting to find his bliss elsewhere.
443
00:37:56,828 --> 00:37:59,361

He's had no musical training
and he can't read a note.
457
00:40:10,757 --> 00:40:13,756
Sinatra has replaced Elvis
as his favorite singer.
458
00:40:14,311 --> 00:40:18,131
He describes his own voice as

Morrison takes a hard turn
from psychedelics to booze.
463
00:40:44,015 --> 00:40:46,548
Soft Parade takes 11 months to record.
464
00:40:49,217 --> 00:40:52,639
This is partly due to Rothchild's
insistence on perfection.
465
00:40:53,039 --> 00:40:55,639
He makes the band do hundreds of takes.
466
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,267
But no one talks about the
elephant in the room.
467
00:41:11,273 --> 00:41:16,006
Densmore develops headaches and breaks
out in rashes from the tension.
468
00:41:18,757 --> 00:41:22,918
One day, John walks out of the studio,
saying he can't take it anymore.
469
00:41:26,613 --> 00:41:28,335
The next morning, he shows up,
470
00:41:28,383 --> 00:41:31,650
and the band continues
recording without a word.

Sometimes the drinking helps Morrison.
474
00:41:47,234 --> 00:41:48,934
Sometimes it doesn't.
475
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,533
The band becomes adept at
keeping him alive onstage.
476
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,533
His first onstage arrest had come
early, in New Haven, Connecticut.
477
00:42:21,984 --> 00:42:26,983
Before the concert, Jim is making out
with a girl in a shower stall backstage.
478
00:42:27,590 --> 00:42:29,123
A cop walks in on them.
479
00:42:29,648 --> 00:42:32,315
Not recognizing Jim, he orders them out.
480
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,999
Jim tells him to go fuck himself.
481
00:42:35,570 --> 00:42:36,770
The cop maces him.
482
00:42:39,285 --> 00:42:42,129
Minutes before the show, Jim is in agony.
483
00:42:42,246 --> 00:42:45,667
His eyes are still bloodshot
and streaming with tears.
484
00:42:46,402 --> 00:42:48,294
In the middle of the first song,
485
00:42:48,319 --> 00:42:51,723
he stops and tells the audience
what's just happened to him.
486
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,185
Jim keeps calling the cop
487
00:42:57,210 --> 00:43:01,610
"A little blue man in a little
blue suit with a little blue cap".
488
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,285
When the police move in,
489
00:43:06,359 --> 00:43:08,957
Jim offers them a chance
to "say their thing".
490
00:43:10,117 --> 00:43:11,384
They choose not to.
491
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Jim is arrested for breach of
peace and immoral exhibition.
492
00:43:20,187 --> 00:43:24,120
Two cops punch him in the face
and kick him when he falls.
493
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:31,373
This starts the reputation of The
Doors as a dirty and dangerous band.
494
00:43:36,781 --> 00:43:40,348
It also marks a change between
The Doors and their audience.
495
00:43:41,117 --> 00:43:44,250
They're coming now to
watch Morrison go crazy.
496
00:43:48,203 --> 00:43:49,203
There is a growing sense
497
00:43:49,234 --> 00:43:52,367
that the fans are not
there to hear the music,
498
00:43:52,812 --> 00:43:54,612
but to witness a spectacle.
499
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,999
It is becoming harder and harder
500
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,946
to distinguish between himself and
the person who appears onstage.
501
00:44:10,296 --> 00:44:14,296
But the train keeps picking up
speed, and no one wants off.
502
00:44:19,765 --> 00:44:24,765
In April 1968, The Village Voice chooses
Morrison as vocalist of the year.
503
00:44:25,882 --> 00:44:27,482
The Doors win best band,
504
00:44:28,593 --> 00:44:33,056
and Ray Manzarek is best musician
after Eric Clapton and Ravi Shankar.
505
00:44:33,467 --> 00:44:37,334
The Soft Parade goes gold,
making 4 gold albums in a row.
506
00:44:38,953 --> 00:44:39,952
'Touch Me' written by Krieger,
507
00:44:39,977 --> 00:44:42,710
gives the band their third top-10 single.

The Doors are being hailed
as America's Rolling Stones.
520
00:45:34,210 --> 00:45:38,493
And just at that moment, Jim
announces he's quitting.
521
00:45:42,468 --> 00:45:43,801
The band is stunned.
522
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,067
Without Jim, there is no Doors.
523
00:45:50,919 --> 00:45:53,186
We need you to stay in the game.
524
00:45:53,327 --> 00:45:56,227
Well, the thing is, I don't
think I like the game.
525
00:46:16,414 --> 00:46:18,281
His girlfriend, Pam Courson,
526
00:46:18,406 --> 00:46:22,095
encourages him to forget music
and concentrate on his poetry.
527
00:46:22,921 --> 00:46:25,920
Jim's already self-published
two notebooks of his poems,
528
00:46:26,695 --> 00:46:28,462
both dedicated to her.
529
00:46:29,805 --> 00:46:32,556
His poetry is symbolic and pure.
530
00:46:33,718 --> 00:46:36,806
It frees him from the
requirements of rock stardom.
531
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,679
Yeah, posing for a
picture, can you imagine?
532
00:46:39,726 --> 00:46:44,345
You know, and really looking in
the camera and really posing?
533
00:46:45,383 --> 00:46:48,450
It's insane! I must have
been out of my mind!
534
00:46:49,468 --> 00:46:52,335
But getting out is not as easy as it seems.
535
00:46:56,250 --> 00:46:59,117
Ray convinces him to give it 6 more months.
536
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,999
But as his drinking increases,
537
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,999
Ray sees it give birth
to Morrison's alter ego,
538
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,333
whom he names Jimbo.
539
00:47:10,093 --> 00:47:12,160
Everyone dreads his appearance.
540
00:47:14,396 --> 00:47:17,618
Out of concern for his health
and the future of the band,
541
00:47:17,781 --> 00:47:20,114
they finally confront him directly.
542
00:47:21,952 --> 00:47:23,352
Jim listens politely.
543
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,306
He stays sober for about a week.
544
00:47:31,132 --> 00:47:32,399
Then Jimbo returns.
545
00:48:06,312 --> 00:48:09,311
The band hires a series
of professional drinkers
546
00:48:09,336 --> 00:48:11,003
to keep tabs on Morrison.
547
00:48:11,569 --> 00:48:13,194
They can't keep up with him.
548
00:48:13,219 --> 00:48:15,952
You got any groovy possy in this joint?
549
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:16,999
Any LSD? Any LSD?
550
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,400
At a party in LA, he ends up with
his face in Janis Joplin's lap.
551
00:48:22,499 --> 00:48:26,741
She breaks down in tears, and then
cracks a whiskey bottle over his head.
552
00:48:28,101 --> 00:48:31,168
Pam gets tired of Jim's
drunken infidelities.
553
00:48:32,695 --> 00:48:35,362
She convinces him to see a psychiatrist.
554
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,600
Jim goes to one session.
555
00:48:40,070 --> 00:48:42,803
He's moving further away from his family.
556
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,436
When his mother comes to watch
The Doors in Washington, DC,
557
00:48:48,398 --> 00:48:49,798
Jim does not see her.
558
00:48:51,514 --> 00:48:54,467
He hasn't spoken to his father since 1966,
559
00:48:54,569 --> 00:48:55,933
when he got a letter from him
560
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,999
with the advice "to give
up any idea of singing
561
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,999
or any connection with a musical group
562
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,584
because of what I consider a complete
lack of talent in this direction...
563
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,999
At the height of his son's fame,
564
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:10,999
Admiral Morrison is commanding
565
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,867
a division of aircraft carriers
off the coast of Vietnam.
566
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,000
In his world, survival
depends on obedience.
567
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,723
To Jim, obedience is suicide.
568
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,667
Would anybody like to see my genitals?
569
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,999
I don't think there should
be a president, man.
570
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,600
I think it should be a total democracy!
571
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,267
But I'll tell you this,
man, I'll tell you this.
572
00:49:46,140 --> 00:49:48,139
I don't know what's going to happen, man,
573
00:49:48,210 --> 00:49:52,209
but I want to have my kicks before the
whole shit house goes up in flames.
574
00:49:52,484 --> 00:49:53,884
All Right? All Right!
575
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,733
In September 1968, The Doors tour Europe.
576
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,800
They're a big hit, even after Jim
swallows a chunk of hash in Amsterdam
577
00:50:15,109 --> 00:50:17,442
and collapses unconscious on stage.
578
00:50:19,203 --> 00:50:23,736
The band plays the gig without him,
with Ray doing all the singing.
579
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,991
Afterwards, Jim stays in London with Pam,
580
00:50:30,148 --> 00:50:32,681
hanging out with poet Michael McClure.
581
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,067
The three of them go off
on a drinking binge.
582
00:50:39,624 --> 00:50:40,957
When Jim resurfaces,
583
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,288
he discovers The Doors have
licensed Light My Fire
584
00:50:44,539 --> 00:50:46,406
for use in a car commercial.
585
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,515
Robby, Ray and John explain they've
tried to find him for days.
586
00:50:54,531 --> 00:50:58,155
They thought the commercial was
unique and felt Jim would agree.
587
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,272
But Jim does not agree.
588
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,440
The car commercial and $ 75,000 evaporate.
589
00:51:06,828 --> 00:51:09,095
The alcohol takes a personal toll.
590
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,482
In the beginning, as Ray
pulls the band together,
591
00:51:12,507 --> 00:51:14,240
he and Jim are very close.
592
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,999
Jim had always welcomed Robby,
593
00:51:18,086 --> 00:51:21,886
offering advice like giving
each lyric a double meaning.
594
00:51:25,797 --> 00:51:28,530
His drinking drives a wedge between them.
595
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:34,999
John and Jim used to drive around,
596
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,733
fantasizing about being in a
famous rock and roll band.
597
00:51:40,390 --> 00:51:42,923
The alcohol pushes them apart as well.
598
00:51:45,109 --> 00:51:49,176
They all see Jim struggle, but
have no idea how to help him.
599
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,999
And now, The Doors start
playing larger arenas.
600
00:51:56,336 --> 00:51:59,003
The first is The Hollywood Bowl in 1968.
601
00:52:01,390 --> 00:52:02,923
Jim seems a little off.
602
00:52:05,562 --> 00:52:08,741
John thinks he's dropped
acid right before the show.
603
00:52:11,265 --> 00:52:14,264
Robby feels Jim was
distracted by Mick Jagger
604
00:52:14,289 --> 00:52:16,968
sitting in the front row
with Pam on his lap.
605
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,600
They sell out Madison Square
Garden and The LA Forum,
606
00:52:24,343 --> 00:52:27,342
and in early 1969, their
manager, Bill Siddons,
607
00:52:27,523 --> 00:52:29,923
books their first extensive US tour.
608
00:52:31,460 --> 00:52:32,927
They'll hit 19 cities.
609
00:52:34,538 --> 00:52:36,405
Their first gig is in Miami.
610
00:52:41,609 --> 00:52:44,209
The band arrives early, minus Morrison.
611
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,200
He's had a fight with Pam
and missed his plane.
612
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,999
He misses another flight
hanging out in the airport bar
613
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,933
and shows up 20 minutes late.
614
00:52:54,062 --> 00:52:56,329
Ladies and gentlemen, The Doors!
615
00:52:57,489 --> 00:53:00,999
The mood inside the converted
airplane hangar is already tense.
616
00:53:01,593 --> 00:53:05,872
The promoter has pulled out all the seats
so he could sell another 2000 tickets.
617
00:53:08,695 --> 00:53:12,162
As the band takes the stage,
Jim seems preoccupied.
618
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,999
The week before, The Living Theater
had performed in Los Angeles.
619
00:53:17,417 --> 00:53:20,084
Their manifesto is radically political -
620
00:53:20,352 --> 00:53:23,981
change can only come from
a rejection of all rules.
621
00:53:25,507 --> 00:53:27,507
Jim goes to every performance.
622
00:53:28,523 --> 00:53:31,656
He once called The Doors
"erotic politicians",
623
00:53:32,308 --> 00:53:34,629
but he confesses to the group's director
624
00:53:35,108 --> 00:53:37,582
that though he has the ear of a generation,
625
00:53:37,851 --> 00:53:40,518
he feels he's never had anything to say.
626
00:53:42,328 --> 00:53:44,895
He chooses this moment to change that.
627
00:53:45,375 --> 00:53:46,842
Yeah! Now listen here!
628
00:53:49,109 --> 00:53:52,153
I ain't talking about no revolution!
629
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,867
And I'm not talking about no demonstration!
630
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,467
I'm talking about having a good time!
631
00:54:05,234 --> 00:54:09,634
I'm talking about love, love, love,
love, love, love, love, love.
632
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,692
Grab your fucking friend and love him.
Come on!
633
00:54:20,820 --> 00:54:22,420
Hey, listen, I'm lonely.
634
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,333
I need some love, you all. Come on!
635
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,733
I need some good-time loving, sweetheart.
636
00:54:34,757 --> 00:54:35,890
Love me. Come on!
637
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,999
Someone throws a gallon of
orange paint at the band.
638
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,467
You're All A Bunch Of Fucking Idiots!
639
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,933
You're All A Bunch Of Slaves,
640
00:54:50,203 --> 00:54:53,270
Letting People Tell You
What You're Gonna Do!
641
00:54:54,882 --> 00:54:58,149
How Long Are You Gonna Let
Them Push You Around?
642
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Maybe You Love It!
643
00:55:00,765 --> 00:55:04,348
Maybe You Love Getting Your Face
Stuck In The Shit! Come On!
644
00:55:05,250 --> 00:55:07,317
What Are You Gonna Do About It?
645
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,867
There's a rush at the stage.
646
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:14,999
Now, Listen,
647
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,999
Anybody That Wants To
Come Up Here And Join Us
648
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,538
And Do Some Dancing, Have Some
Fun, Just Get On Up Here. Come On!
649
00:55:20,562 --> 00:55:23,645
A friend of Jim's walks
out and hands him a lamb.
650
00:55:23,906 --> 00:55:26,173
I'd Fuck Her, But She's Too Young.
651
00:55:28,676 --> 00:55:31,975
A woman pours a bottle of
champagne over Morrison.
652
00:55:32,832 --> 00:55:35,975
He takes off his wet shirt,
urging everyone to join him.
653
00:55:36,608 --> 00:55:39,822
Shirts, pants, bras and
underwear sail through the air.
654
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,800
But there's only one song they wanna hear.
655
00:55:44,335 --> 00:55:46,402
Light My Fire! Light My Fire!
656
00:55:49,055 --> 00:55:50,353
Morrison gets angry.
657
00:55:50,789 --> 00:55:53,572
"You Came To See Something
Else, Didn't You?"
658
00:55:54,187 --> 00:55:56,517
"All Right, Here's My Cock!".
659
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,999
Now, we're not going to leave
until we all get our rocks off.
660
00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:03,139
Ray yells out for someone to stop him.
661
00:56:03,164 --> 00:56:05,631
Go on, someone's going to get hurt.
662
00:56:06,304 --> 00:56:08,237
The stage starts to collapse.
663
00:56:11,383 --> 00:56:12,983
Robby and John jump off.
664
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,533
Manzarek keeps playing.
665
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,533
Jim is thrown into the
audience by a security guard.
666
00:56:29,890 --> 00:56:33,690
Less than an hour after it
started, the concert is over.
667
00:56:35,608 --> 00:56:38,694
The Doors play fragments of only 4 songs.
668
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,200
The next day, the entire band
flies to Jamaica for a vacation.
669
00:56:51,195 --> 00:56:55,395
Unknown to them, something strange
is happening back in Miami.
670
00:56:58,328 --> 00:57:01,328
The Doors are out to
make their own scene.
671
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,843
It was a bad scene, and...
672
00:57:04,639 --> 00:57:06,350
Like I say, it was completely unwarranted,
673
00:57:06,382 --> 00:57:07,975
uncalled for, on all parts.
674
00:57:08,538 --> 00:57:10,663
It didn't seem like actual entertainment
675
00:57:10,749 --> 00:57:12,523
that we've expected to see.
676
00:57:12,648 --> 00:57:15,999
Seemed like very many people were
under the influence of drugs.
677
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,999
We have to do something about this.
This is real disgusting.
678
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,999
My children, when I grow
up and I have children,
679
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,867
do I want them in an environment like this?
680
00:57:24,308 --> 00:57:27,491
I mean, is this progress, or
are we decaying in a way?
681
00:57:28,708 --> 00:57:31,515
We have taken out two
warrants for Jim Morrison.
682
00:57:32,117 --> 00:57:34,584
One of them is for indecent exposure.
683
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,648
The other is for the use
of obscene languages
684
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,444
during his performance at
Dinner Key Saturday night.
685
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,999
We have been delayed on
issuing these warrants
686
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,999
because we were waiting,
hoping to get pictures
687
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,600
that were taken during the performance.
688
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,749
Jim's hit with one felony
and three misdemeanors,
689
00:57:53,905 --> 00:57:57,226
but it's the felony charge
that is the most disturbing.
690
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,683
It claims that Jim did
lewdly and lasciviously
691
00:58:00,708 --> 00:58:04,538
"expose his penis, place his hands
upon his penis and shake it,
692
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,101
and did simulate the acts of
masturbation upon himself
693
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,587
and oral copulation upon another...
694
00:58:11,265 --> 00:58:13,718
Although many pictures were
taken during the concert,
695
00:58:13,749 --> 00:58:15,788
none show Morrison exposing himself.
696
00:58:16,869 --> 00:58:18,749
But for proof of oral copulation,
697
00:58:18,874 --> 00:58:22,007
the prosecution offers
this photo as evidence.
698
00:58:24,695 --> 00:58:27,116
The charges take The Doors by surprise.
699
00:58:28,288 --> 00:58:31,070
Over a hundred cops had
been at the concert.
700
00:58:31,218 --> 00:58:33,618
None had attempted to stop Morrison.
701
00:58:34,491 --> 00:58:37,999
To John, the only thing they
were guilty of was a lousy show.
702
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,667
I especially thank my fellow
citizens who join me...
703
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,999
But a wave of conservatism
is sweeping the country.
704
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,999
For over five months, our
community has been subjected...
705
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,296
Decency rallies are held,
specifically targeting The Doors.
706
00:58:52,570 --> 00:58:56,903
The people of Dade County have
said "Enough, enough, enough!".
707
00:58:58,414 --> 00:59:00,413
Even the rock and roll
press turns against them.
708
00:59:00,578 --> 00:59:04,778
To break its contract and
cancel two concerts of The Doors.
709
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,999
Radio stations stop
playing The Doors' music.
710
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,999
Performances would be obnoxious.
711
00:59:10,841 --> 00:59:13,624
And one by one, every remaining city
712
00:59:13,859 --> 00:59:16,926
on The Doors' first major
tour gets canceled.
713
00:59:19,437 --> 00:59:24,491
Finally, on April 4 of 1969 Jim
Morrison surrenders to the FBI.
714
00:59:27,648 --> 00:59:29,448
The trial starts in August.
715
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,999
Ray, Robby and John
testify in Jim's defense.
716
00:59:33,375 --> 00:59:35,976
All of them deny seeing Jim expose himself.
717
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,999
Jim, you're facing 3 1/2 years in
state prison for the Miami incident.
718
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,999
The scope of this trial goes
way beyond rock and roll.
719
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,999
It's really about the first amendment.
720
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,733
What we're testing down there is the...
721
00:59:48,765 --> 00:59:51,687
Issue of artistic freedom of expression.
722
00:59:53,375 --> 00:59:57,577
But the prosecutor, Terrence McWilliams,
seems preoccupied with sex.
723
00:59:58,390 --> 01:00:00,999
He keeps returning to the
oral copulation charge.
724
01:00:01,881 --> 01:00:03,880
Jim explains he was down on his knees
725
01:00:03,936 --> 01:00:07,136
simply to admire Robby's
intricate finger work.
726
01:00:08,140 --> 01:00:10,999
McWilliams scoffs, saying
Jim must have seen Robby
727
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,400
perform this solo hundreds of times.
728
01:00:13,617 --> 01:00:17,884
Jim replies, "Well, Robby gets
better and better all the time".
729
01:00:19,554 --> 01:00:23,171
Although a comedy of
errors, trial is no joke.
730
01:00:24,546 --> 01:00:26,468
On October 30 of 1969,
731
01:00:27,359 --> 01:00:31,171
Morrison is found guilty of
profanity and indecent exposure.
732
01:00:33,007 --> 01:00:35,343
Jim, you have anything to say?
733
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,999
Judge Murray Goodman sentences Jim
734
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,600
to four months of hard labor
in the Dade county jail.
735
01:00:49,678 --> 01:00:52,288
The Doors' attorney
quickly files an appeal,
736
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,999
but the uncertainty of its outcome
737
01:00:55,195 --> 01:00:58,046
throws The Doors into an
uneasy state of limbo.
738
01:00:59,461 --> 01:01:01,461
Morrison takes it the hardest.
739
01:01:04,922 --> 01:01:08,773
It's more than just fear of spending
time in a deep-southern jail.
740
01:01:09,734 --> 01:01:13,905
It's as if he's suddenly
realized he's not invincible.
741
01:02:05,296 --> 01:02:09,563
Like Morrison, the country's
innocence is being tested as well.
742
01:02:10,883 --> 01:02:14,283
A spasm of violence ripples
throughout the decade,
743
01:02:15,195 --> 01:02:18,543
and it continues to be
reflected in The Doors' music.
744
01:02:21,567 --> 01:02:25,100
Morrison believes violence
is an American tradition.
745
01:02:25,383 --> 01:02:27,598
Its citizens are addicted to it
746
01:02:29,489 --> 01:02:31,571
and enchanted by it.
747
01:02:34,284 --> 01:02:36,283
The Doors had passed on Woodstock,
748
01:02:36,308 --> 01:02:39,975
so in 1970, while still waiting
on their Miami appeal,
749
01:02:40,359 --> 01:02:43,426
they fly to a small island
off the coast of England.
750
01:02:43,976 --> 01:02:45,911
The concert at The Isle of Wight
751
01:02:45,936 --> 01:02:47,935
is intended to be a fusion of spirit
752
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,400
and the world's best rock musicians,
753
01:02:51,109 --> 01:02:53,842
but fans feel the concert should be free.
754
01:02:55,046 --> 01:02:57,046
Police and promoters disagree.

By late 1970, the dream that had stirred
an entire generation officially ends.
779
01:07:33,398 --> 01:07:35,198
Charles Manson's use of LSD
780
01:07:35,351 --> 01:07:37,551
had not led him to enlightenment,
781
01:07:37,882 --> 01:07:39,015
but into madness.
782
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,267
And a new president removes
all hope for change.
783
01:07:47,766 --> 01:07:51,436
Jim's deeply affected by the
deaths of Hendrix and Joplin.
784
01:07:52,101 --> 01:07:55,834
He jokes to friends: "They're
looking at number three".
785
01:07:57,687 --> 01:07:59,991
Michael McClure helps change his mood.
786
01:08:00,546 --> 01:08:01,679
With his support,
787
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,014
Simon and Schuster publishes the
first collection of Jim's poems.
788
01:08:07,171 --> 01:08:10,889
The book becomes one of Morrison's
proudest accomplishments.
789
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,733
"Nothing", he says, "is as
eternal as poetry and song".
790
01:08:28,406 --> 01:08:32,406
As the country enters the new
decade, The Doors start over.
791
01:08:33,734 --> 01:08:37,733
Morrison Hotel had been another
step away from the mainstream.
792
01:08:38,725 --> 01:08:41,792
It took them back to
their roots - the blues.
793
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,636
It went gold in 2 days.
794
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,999
Despite the disaster of Miami,
795
01:08:51,249 --> 01:08:54,716
Jack Holzman encourages
them to make another album.
796
01:08:55,413 --> 01:08:57,413
But some things stay the same.
797
01:08:58,445 --> 01:09:03,112
Jim shows up late and drunk, only
now, he's added cocaine to the mix.
798
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,333
The band is alternately
bored and furious at Jim.
799
01:09:10,132 --> 01:09:12,665
Rothchild falls asleep at the console.
800
01:09:13,734 --> 01:09:18,667
He tries to motivate the band by
accusing them of playing cocktail music.
801
01:09:20,835 --> 01:09:24,502
Rothchild finally realizes
it's time for him to leave.
802
01:09:26,031 --> 01:09:28,030
His parting words to The Doors,
803
01:09:28,218 --> 01:09:32,818
"The only way you'll survive is if
you make this record yourselves".
804
01:09:34,781 --> 01:09:38,714
Shocked by his departure, The
Doors turn to Bruce Botnick.
805
01:09:40,429 --> 01:09:42,829
Botnick urges the band to just play.
806
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,629
To John, it's like they're
back in the garage,
807
01:09:52,805 --> 01:09:55,805
back to the four of them
just playing music.
808
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,600
It's John's idea to slow
down the middle of LA Woman.
809
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,999
Jim comes up with a phrase he
wants to repeat over and over.
810
01:10:11,293 --> 01:10:14,652
After they record it, Jim scribbles
something on a piece of paper
811
01:10:14,804 --> 01:10:16,035
and shows it to the group.
812
01:10:16,132 --> 01:10:19,249
♪ Mr. Mojo Risin' ♪
813
01:11:09,125 --> 01:11:12,325
They record quickly, doing
several songs a day.
814
01:11:13,553 --> 01:11:15,552
To help keep Morrison interested,
815
01:11:15,592 --> 01:11:19,059
Botnick brings in Jerry
Scheff, Elvis' bass player.
816
01:11:20,671 --> 01:11:23,670
The band wants Love Her Madly
to be the first single,
817
01:11:23,695 --> 01:11:28,362
but Robby resists, calling his own
song too commercial for The Doors.
818
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,587
His choice is Riders On The Storm.

01:13:29,390 --> 01:13:33,045
Once again, all songs are
credited to The Doors.
834
01:13:35,803 --> 01:13:37,553
On December 8, 1970,
835
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:42,400
Jim Morrison celebrates his birthday
by recording his own poetry.
836
01:13:43,312 --> 01:13:46,445
He Was No Private, For
He Could Not Be Sold.
837
01:13:47,734 --> 01:13:48,934
He Was Only A Man,
838
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,232
And His Dedication Extended
To The Last Degree.
839
01:13:52,648 --> 01:13:55,115
Poor, Pretentious Soldier, Come Home.
840
01:13:57,906 --> 01:13:59,083
He's 27.
841
01:14:00,460 --> 01:14:03,513
Friends can't believe the
change in only 2 years.
842
01:14:05,758 --> 01:14:07,757
The poetry session snaps
him out of a depression,
843
01:14:07,782 --> 01:14:11,249
and he agrees to perform
live with The Doors again.
844
01:14:13,390 --> 01:14:18,021
On December 12th, they play New Orleans,
introducing the new songs from LA Woman.
845
01:14:20,539 --> 01:14:23,139
For a moment, the old Morrison appears.
846
01:14:23,727 --> 01:14:26,860
Then he sits down on stage
and doesn't get up.
847
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:34,739
It is here Ray says he sees all of
Jim's psychic energy leave his body.
848
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,008
A few days later, Pam Courson returns
to LA from a vacation in Paris.
849
01:14:49,351 --> 01:14:51,350
She discovers Jim sleeping with a woman
850
01:14:51,530 --> 01:14:55,263
who claims they were married
in a pagan witch ceremony.
851
01:14:55,609 --> 01:14:59,876
But the witch flies back to New
York, and Jim goes back to Pam.
852
01:15:03,429 --> 01:15:05,664
She still envisions a
life for the two of them
853
01:15:05,851 --> 01:15:08,391
that starts with Jim leaving The Doors.
854
01:15:10,672 --> 01:15:12,061
He'll stay home and write poetry
855
01:15:12,086 --> 01:15:14,829
while she runs an exclusive
clothing boutique.
856
01:15:17,319 --> 01:15:20,032
Just after the band
finishes mixing LA Woman,
857
01:15:20,343 --> 01:15:23,410
Jim announces he and Pam
are moving to Paris.
858
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,600
He'll relax for a while.
859
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,333
He'll quit drinking.
860
01:15:29,077 --> 01:15:31,210
He'll concentrate on his poetry.
861
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,067
Ray asks when he's coming back.
862
01:15:36,117 --> 01:15:37,283
Jim just shrugs.
863
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:41,526
On April 17, 1971,
864
01:15:42,322 --> 01:15:44,975
with the Miami conviction
still hanging over him,
865
01:15:45,929 --> 01:15:47,196
Jim flies to Paris.
866
01:16:05,844 --> 01:16:08,908
For a while, things go according to plan.
867
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,333
Jim does concentrate on his poetry.
868
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,333
He shaves his beard.
869
01:16:18,374 --> 01:16:20,307
He wanders the streets alone,
870
01:16:20,385 --> 01:16:22,432
visiting the cemetery at Pere Lachaise,
871
01:16:22,531 --> 01:16:26,064
where Chopin, Oscar Wilde
and Edith Piaf are buried.
872
01:16:28,367 --> 01:16:30,434
He develops a persistent cough.
873
01:16:33,117 --> 01:16:35,830
Back home, Elektra releases LA Woman.
874
01:16:36,539 --> 01:16:39,539
Critics call it "The
Doors' comeback album".
875
01:16:42,327 --> 01:16:45,697
When his cough worsens, Pam
takes him to the doctor,
876
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,067
who strongly urges
Morrison to quit drinking.
877
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:53,720
As he roams the city,
878
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,999
he carries his notebooks in a
white plastic shopping bag.
879
01:16:57,547 --> 01:17:00,815
They're filled with fragments
of song lyrics and poetry.
880
01:17:04,453 --> 01:17:06,452
But the solitude of the writing
881
01:17:06,593 --> 01:17:09,460
offers little of the kick he knows so well.
882
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,747
One day, Jim makes a phone call home.
883
01:17:19,054 --> 01:17:22,054
John Densmore is surprised
to hear from him.
884
01:17:23,085 --> 01:17:27,489
Jim says he's thinking of coming home
to make another album with The Doors,
885
01:17:28,617 --> 01:17:31,599
but John can tell his voice is slurred.
886
01:17:33,812 --> 01:17:36,552
And one night, after
hours of heavy drinking,
887
01:17:37,405 --> 01:17:39,405
Jim says he doesn't feel well.
888
01:17:40,859 --> 01:17:41,926
He takes a bath.
889
01:17:43,234 --> 01:17:46,567
After calling out to Pam,
"Are you still there?",
890
01:17:47,820 --> 01:17:50,130
he dies in the bathtub.

The youth movement fades
away, not to reappear.
902
01:19:26,819 --> 01:19:30,586

however brief, was real.

To some, Jim was a poet,
909
01:20:08,116 --> 01:20:10,849
his soul trapped between heaven and hell.
910
01:20:12,781 --> 01:20:17,114
To others, he was just another
rock star who crashed and burned.
911
01:20:18,390 --> 01:20:23,446

01:21:01,647 --> 01:21:04,780
They've sold over 80
million albums worldwide.
919
01:21:05,750 --> 01:21:08,417
They still sell a million albums a year.
920

As of this date, none of their songs
has been used in a car commercial...
