The Doors - The End (original)
"Jim Morrison & the Doors on the road" (9)
I will say little about this masterpiece, otherwise it would require a half treatise to cover it. The opposite of "Light My Fire." Sounds and atmospheres immediately made the Doors a unique band, out of any scheme, genre, or other similar nonsense. It starts from a foundation of Ray, Robby, and John and develops each night at the "Whisky a Go Go." For us, after decades and having seen and heard it all, it seems simple... but imagine listening to a band live with those atmospheres and those lyrics in the summer of 1966. Because "wanting to kill the father and fuck the mother (all night long)" is not exactly a calm and relaxing theme phrase. And to think that just a few days earlier they had signed with Electra; it really would have taken little to keep them from being known to us.
