The Doors - Love Her Madly
"Jim Morrison & the Doors on the road" (52)
The abandonment of Rothchild shook the four of them, and they decided to go all out. Everything had to be simple and spontaneous. A sound with few frills and quick recordings. Very few overdubs thanks to the presence of the bass and the second guitar. Bruce Botnick, the faithful sound engineer and friend who took on the role, had the intuition to "let it be" (all production credits read "Bruce Botnick and the Doors"). The credits for the individual tracks also returned to being "Doors," just like on the first three albums. It was like going back four years for a few weeks; the group was tighter than ever, despite the negativity they faced outside the rehearsal room. The song is the first of the two singles released. It was supposed to be the opening track for the pre-album tour; unfortunately, this only happened twice during the nights of December 11 and 12, 1970. At the second show in New Orleans, Jim collapsed on stage.
