Got my hoodie from @AstonshngLegnds just in time for Trick or Treating with the kids this weekend! Also tested the glow feature, and it really shines! The second photo is completely unedited. If you’re sleeping on this hoodie, grab it now before it’s gone!

Also, here is a photo breaking down why this is provable as a real picture of Jim. The providence of every other photo used to make this has been 100% confirmed as real as well as the dates. We aren’t sure in April when the Feast of Friends footage was shot.

[Bradley Netherton @Brad_Net]

@RichardHatem Finishing it now! Amazing how you link a series of alien abductions to your marriage.

Happy Opening Day!

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

It’s Opening Day of baseball season! One of my favorite memories was seeing the @Braves play the @Marlins and hearing the @bravesorganist play “Light My Fire” when Logan Morrison came up to bat.

If you had a @TheDoors walk-up song, what song would it be? Share it below! ⬇️

@TheDoorsPod @Braves @Marlins @bravesorganist @TheDoors Mine would be “Peace Frog.” It is a super groovy song! ✌🏼🐸

Join me as I interview Angie Bucchi Silvers and Steve Wheeler as we talk about her experience in Miami and with Jim. This is probably the most thorough account of what it was like to be at the show ever told. Angie shares stories about being contacted by Max Fink, testifying at the trial, and spending time with Jim.

Steve also deconstructs more myths about Miami and gives information that has never been made public before. What do the photos taken from the show tell us about the timeline of events? Why do we not have photos from the end of the show? Are there color photos out there that have never been released? All these questions and more are answered in this podcast!

Up for auction is Jim Morrison’s Owned & Stage Worn Suede Jacket (Photo-Matched) to 1967 New Haven Arena - First of Two Concert Arrests. The starting bid is $50,000.

From the listing:

“The Doors front man lead singer Jim Morrison was wearing this dark brown suede jacket on stage while performing on December 9, 1967 when he was arrested and charged with inciting a riot, indecency and public obscenity. The story began backstage before the show when Jim was making out with a girl in a shower, and when a policeman told them to stop, Jim talked back to him, and after going back and forth, the policeman ended up macing him. After Jim was given time to clean up, and hopefully calm down, The Doors took the stage. But Jim couldn't let the incident go and he shouted out to the audience involving them in his anger at the police. Things quickly got out of hand, and Jim ended up getting arrested, charged with inciting a riot, indecency and public obscenity. This arrest took place two years before his second on-stage arrest in 1969 when he exposed himself.

Provenance: From the collection of Frank Lisciandro. Frank Lisciandro was Morrison’s good friend and author of several books relating to Jim Morrison. Lisciandro received this jacket personally from Jim Morrison and sold it to our consignor.

This jacket is an incredible piece of Rock and Roll history, from one of its most iconic performers, known for his in-your-face attitude and sexuality. Morrison went from a singer who had to turn his back to the audience before he could sing, because of shyness, to one that literally flung himself into the melee of rock and one of the most daring performers of his time.”

Today in Doors history in 1968, the band do 14 takes of “Not to Touch the Earth” at TTG Studios near the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Highland Avenue. They would do more than 14 takes the next day for the same track.

The next person to use the studio? Jimi Hendrix in October of ‘68.

The studio was used by many other contemporaries of the band at the time including Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Eric Burden and the Animals, The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, and Linda Ronstadt to name a few.

Friday is another huge interview! For the first time on public record in 55 years, the man who taped the Miami show will tell his story! I’ll post a teaser tomorrow, but you guys don’t want to miss this one! Shortly after the concert, Joe joined the military. He was never called to testify even though his tape was used in court. #TheDoors #MonthofMiami #DinnerKey #Miami

@AEW @RJCity1 @ReneePaquette @TBSNetwork I wasn’t going to go, but @RJCity1 sold me on it so I went ahead and snagged a ticket!

@RJCity1 I wasn’t going to go, but RJ sold me on it so I went ahead and snagged a ticket!

[Bradley Netherton @Brad_Net]

@RJCity1 Imagine the conversations he and Frank Oz had. Oz may have been the only person who could’ve put up with Jim.

[Bradley Netherton @Brad_Net]

@RJCity1 But is that an inaccurate impression?

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

Cupid had become synonymous with Valentine’s Day, a feast day for the martyred saint of the same name around the turn of the 19th century. On the left, we have Jim Morrison and his “Ode to a Grasshopper” as he reaches down to discover a moth instead at the Hollywood Bowl, 1968. On the right, we have Antoine-Denis Chaudet’s “Cupid Presenting a Rose to a Butterfly” (1802) which is currently displayed along with Chaudet’s other works at The Louvre. Like Morrison, Chaudet would die in Paris. He was 47.

This new @Ghostbusters movie looks like it is going to be great! @dan_aykroyd @Ernie_Hudson #Ghostbusters #GhostbustersFrozenEmpire @GBNewsdotcom

Mine is “Unhappy Girl.” What’s yours?

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

What is your favorite @TheDoors deep cut? I’m talking a true deep cut. A song that doesn’t usually get brought up when talking about the band, hasn’t been featured in a high profile movie, etc. 🚪

Post yours below! ⬇️

[Bradley Netherton @Brad_Net]

@TheDoorsPod @TheDoors Unhappy Girl. It’s one of those songs that gets stuck in my head randomly on a weekly basis. The fact Ray played the piano part backwards on this is wild to me.

[Bradley Netherton @Brad_Net]

@TrryTrayler @figvault @VintageJakksBCA The collar is a bit different. It could be the match depicted, but the BCA looks like a mashup of the two

Happy Birthday @RobbyKriegerArt!

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

What better way to celebrate Robby’s birthday than discussing his fantastic book with Co-Author Jeff Alulis? We do a deep dive into his time with Robby Krieger, Bill Siddons, Jac Holzman, and others going through the Doors’ timeline for the book. Jeff also talks about his love of The Doors and what led him to work on the project with Robby.

Today in 1967 started three nights of @TheDoors as the band had their first show for Bill Graham. Elektra issued unique LP-styled private invitations to The Doors debut performance at this venue on January 6th, & oddly, Bill Graham handed out apples at the door to concert goers.
