Michelle Campbell shares the wild story of Jim Morrison’s missing bust—found after 37 years—and decades of Doors fan devotion at Père-Lachaise. From secret burial plans to a 600-lb sculpture drop, this interview changed how I see Jim’s legacy. #TheDoors #JimMorrison
On this day in 2013, we lost Ray Manzarek. I’ll never forget getting the phone call right after getting off of work. I always loved this photo of the band, particularly Ray. You are forever missed!
Join returning guests Travis and Michael along with long time Doors’ researcher, tape archivist, and contributor at the Mild Equator Chris Simondet as we discuss the newest Record Store Day Release “Strange Days 1967: A Work in Progress.”

We break down the songs on & songs left off. What do we think of the differences from the original release? Where does this rank among previous RSD releases? What can we expect from The Doors camp in the future? Almost two hours of discussion!

Happy Birthday to @RobbyKriegerArt!
Ray said of Robby that "Not only was he the snake man on bottleneck guitar but he was also a tunesmith with a touch of the poet himself," and I can't say that I disagree!
On the anniversary of The Doors playing the LA Forum, we discuss one of the biggest performances of The Doors career. We also hear the newly converted Robert Haimer tape of the show as it’s never been heard before!
We also talk about the LA Forum and the birth of arena rock, what equipment was used at the show, and where The Doors were at this point in 1968. Stay tuned for part two next week!

Happy Birthday, @JimMorrison! Hope to have a new podcast out this coming week!

They talk about meeting the band before the show, being brought into the dilemma with the missing piano bass, and overhearing the argument about Jim’s choice of attire.

In this episode, we discuss every aspect of The Living Theatre performances that Jim attended. We break down the authenticity of the recently released photos of Jim as well as the story of that Living Theatre performance on March 8th.

Steve also gives a day by day breakdown of each performance Jim attended, how they contributed to the now infamous “Rock is Dead” studio jam, how Jim was able to save the Living Theatre, and much more.

Have a podcast coming out this week about the new photos released of Jim Morrison at the Living Theatre. Interesting fact is that Julian Beck (pictured here with Jim Morrison) is most memorable for his creepy role in Poltergeist II released after his death.
If anyone is interested, I’ll be interviewed by Frank Zappa’s archivist, Gerry Fialka, today at 3pm Central/1pm Pacific time. Also, look for new podcasts coming this week!

Join us as we discuss @TheDoors performance at the Hollywood Bowl using the Robert Haimer tape that has been digitized for the first time ever! We discuss what ‘Absolutely Live’ vocals were used to replace the missing vocals from the official release, and we compare the bootleg tape to the 2012 release as well as the 1987 release.
We also discuss the equipment used, the background of the band and venue, and we wade into each band member’s book to get a clearer picture.
What links this show to Miami? Was footage from a different concert used for the 2012 release? Does the story we’ve been told for years on how the vocal track was lost on some songs still hold water? We answer all these and more in part one of this two parter!
