Light My Fire - The Doors Live At Singer Bowl, NYC, August 2, 1968
- 13 anni fa
Over the years there were numerous accounts of The Doors provoking riots at their performances.
The chaos escalates contonously during the performance, with flights erupting throughout the Singer Bowl. Morrison sings with a very precise and articulate emphasis on the lyrics, and actually appears to be substantially more sober than the crowd he is facing.
Just before midnight, as the Doors conclude their performance, a horde of people begin demolishing the wooden seating section in front and hurling portions of the splintered benches at the stage. The debacle turns into a complete riot when the crowd charges the police barricade, forcing the Doors to abandon the stage amid a torrent of plummeting debris. As the police struggle to regain control of the crowd, Vince treanor and the equipment crew desperatly try to defend their gear.
Also performing: The Who; The Kangaroo.
Promotion: Gary Kurfist & Shally Finkel
Capacity: 17.500
