Recorded Live At The Cellar Door - Seldom Scene (The)

Advantages: Some forgotten tracks are brought back into the spotlight

...a 1969 concert in Miami, after which the band were effectively finished. They probably would not have made any more albums as a band after the release of LA Woman; in any event Morrison's death in Paris 1971 drew a line under the proceedings. In 2003, amid much guffawing, Manzarek and Kreiger hooked up with Ian Astbury, vocalist with UK rockers The Cult, taking to the stage again under the name "Doors - 21st Century", under the auspice of which they tour with to this day.

THE BEHIND THE SCENES LMF GOSSIP: --Prior to doing a live performance of LMF on the Ed Sullivan show, Ed's son-in-law and the show's director, Bob Precht, came to the Doors' dressing room to request that they edit the line: "...girl we couldn't get much higher," to "girl we couldn't get much better."
