The Doors opened their set with “Moonlight Drive” from their newest album “Strange Days,” released just three weeks before. And then it was “Break on Through” and “Backdoor Man,” “People Are Strange,” “Crystal Ship” and, following a wild piece of Morrison’s avant-garde poetry called “Wake Up!,” they did a masterly version of “Light My Fire.” And then, inevitably, as sort of a required encore, came the extravaganza of “The End,” with its dark theatrics, role playing, and intimations of violence and incest. Here Morrison went into full Morrison mode, leaping from the stage and writhing down in front of the front row, before returning to the stage, at the very end of “The End,” to repeatedly smash his mic stand onto the floor.
