There were at least 10 people with wands checking over everyone at the gates! No one was getting any cameras, camcorders or recorders in with these guys around. As a result there were people outside holding video and regular cameras explaining on their cell phones how they couldn't get their equipment in. I guess you have to call someone and cry about it when you get busted.

At about 8:10 pm The Doors hit the stage with a rather large, bearded man Ray referred to as "The Jack Attack" a.k.a. Jack Green, a harp player. He worked the first four songs with a great blues harp. Ray promised he would be back at the end on 'Maggie M'Gill.' The acoustics were a lot better at this Phoenix show than at the Palms in Vegas in January where I last saw The Doors perform.

Ian has REALLY loosened up, too! A big improvement! He had longer hair, he was rolling his head around a lot, and he jumped wildly off the drum riser to the stage several times. He's evidently getting in touch a lot more with the spirit of Jim Morrison.

They videotaped from the left of the stage. Oh, how I wanted to steal their tape!!!! Shame on me--I didn't do it.

The set list included: an Intro, 'Road House Blues,' 'Break On Through,' 'When The Music's Over,' 'Love Me Two Times,' (the four former w/ Jack Attack on harp), then into 'Whiskey Bar,' 'Back Door Man,' 'Five To One,' 'People Are Strange,' 'Strange Days,' 'Spanish Caravan,' 'The Ghost Song,' 'Moonlight Drive,' 'Horse Latitudes,' 'Wild Child,' 'LA Woman,' 'Light My Fire,' 'Riders On The Storm,' 'Maggie M'Gill' (w/ Jack Attack on harp), and a blow out 'Soul Kitchen' for their final song!

After 'Maggie M'Gill' it seemed to be all over. People were milling around the house--lights were turned on. It was at least four, maybe five minutes before Ray came running back out on stage. He had fresh hair and a white shirt. He was like an excited, wild teenager: "Hey, I gotta play one more!" The whole place went ballistic when the first notes of 'Soul Kitchen' were played!
