“The Doors who headlined the revival, were in more characteristic form. Jim Morrison has so much presence; so much electricity that he makes is rock contemporaries resemble a collection of wax dummies, and on saturday he was powerful, evoking all the sexuality and violence that distinguishes the Doors’ music. The songs were all familiar, including When The Music’s Over, Break On Through, Light My fire (with long solos from Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger), and a dramatic version of The End as a closer. None of it was thrilling or exciting, not in the sence that most good rock is, but the entiere set was utterly fascinating in a way that great theater fascinates. The Doors finished their set at 1:45 am. on Sunday, and at that point, the music had me raging for almost 14 hours, since the first band kicked off at noon on saturday. Some of it was terrible, full of real downers; much more was magnificently good; and everybody, the kids, the preformers, and the cops seemed in fine, happy, obliging spirits.”
