What a funky night! Weird scenes inside the gold mine, indeed. We're in the Boston Arena, and, wouldn't you know it, Jim is pie-eyed, stinko, a rummy in training...but he's cool too. Listen to him improvise. Listen to the band work and cajole and follow and lead him What a wild Doors night. We never knew what was going happen when the shaman went over the edge. And this night is over the edge. He's beyond the pale, like Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. Like Dean Moriarty in On The Road. And it's all here for you to hear. John and Robby and I invite you to''go insane'' with us in Boston on a long-gone night. Ray Manzarek
