...and I finally took it out of its special box and made it a necklace āœØļø EDIT: I got it off the ground, outside the fence. Not from anywhere in the vicinity of his resting place, nor a stone someone left for him. It's special only to me. Just a rock from the ground. No desecration or bad juju coming my way

Photo A piece of Doors history — L.A. Woman platinum award presented to Danny Sugerman

Thought I'd share a recent addition to my music memorabilia collection.

I recently picked up this vintage RIAA platinum record award for L.A. Woman, presented to Danny Sugerman.

I know Sugerman's legacy among Doors fans is somewhat mixed, but regardless of anyone's opinion of him, he was certainly part of the band's history.

The award has some great vintage character, including the original-style Elektra branding, dark brown matting, and a Dejay Products manufacturer's label on the back. I'm still trying to narrow down exactly when it was presented.

For me, it's just a really interesting piece of rock-and-roll history, and I'm happy to have it in my collection.

I took these last week when I visited Paris. Seems like we should post these so we have updates as it changes. The man had quite an influence on me (and probably most of you) even though I was only 2 when he died.

It’s great that so many people leave a tribute. I really dig the crocheted Jim doll. Nicely done to whomever made that.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the awesome response! I've hit my limit for free review copies for this week so I can keep track of everyone. Will open more later!

I wrote a fiction novel set in Paris about a kid who accidentally meets an older Jim Morrison living quietly decades after 1971. Looking for a few rock fans to read a free copy and give feedback." or for the brave of heart

Discussion Wild Child cover band at the Whisky

Sup guys. Just reminiscing on the greatest live show I’ve ever been to, and thought I’d talk about it here. Dave Bock and Wild Child, are definitely the cream of the crop of The Doors cover band’s I’ve seen thus far in my life. Really amazing and talented.

Not only that, I’ve now seen cover bands in many venues in many cities… The Whisky really remains the greatest venue I’ve been to for this. Perfect amount of bars (two downstairs, one upstairs I believe) and you can get a table, or you can sing and dance down on the floor. It’s really a perfect venue for a Doors show, and it’s only fitting how much history they have there…

Cheers everyone

Question Lucille

Did The Doors ever record their cover of Lucille in the studio? It sounds really great but the live quality is a bit weird so I'm just wondering if a studio version exists šŸ˜„

Discussion How come they never performed 'Take it As it Comes' and 'I Looked at You' live?

26 Upvotes

I love both of these songs, but from my research, I don't think they ever performed either live, not even in the live at the Matrix days. Its a real shame as both tracks have a great vibe and would work well live. Every other song on the first album has been performed live except maybe End of the Night.

I was about to be a junior in high school and my dad had gotten me into the doors years earlier. I had the ā€œbaseball flowā€ when I threw a hat on but it was secretly meant to look like Jim’s.

Just found the picture and thought I’d share, delete if not allowed.

Question Robby fan mail address?

hi everyone,
i am wanting to send Robby Krieger from the Doors some fan mail (just a letter) and was wondering if anyone knows of an updated address to send it to?

i saw a post from about 5 years ago with an address in California, but i’m not sure if that’s still usable or not.

thanks in advance! x

"Their only Midwest appearance" at Freedom Hall in Louisville, KY. First photo is of Jim talking to a fan in Freedom Hall. He came dressed in white pants and a red sweater and was asked to change and show some skin, according to local news reports from the time. About 4500 people in attendance. Set list included Soul Kitchen, Light my Fire, and others :D
