When my wife was in high school she and her wannabe hippie friends would hitch hike to the Warehouse . . . or Awarehouse . . . and would see some unbelievable shows. Great venue. Unfortunately I wasn't living here until it was near its demise.

Went to the original Allman Brothers concert New Years Eve in the mid 70's. Twin drummers, Duane ALLman alive, Berry Oakley alive, unbelievable. The James Gang and Foghat also played first. 8:00 to 4:00 am concert. This was the original Allman Brothers- best twin lead guitars in the history of rock and roll. Then ,they were just like the live double album, perfect.

I used to watch Gregg Wright on a weekly basis in BR Rock Clubs back in the late 70's. He was the closest thing to Hendrix I was ever going to see. He still comes back to BR a couple times a year and has become a Rockin Blues phenom in Europe...........dude still has it........

Absolutely one of the greatest live bands ever. When they would play N.O. they occasionally would play a free concert at the fly.

The concert begins nomally but then about halfway through Jim begins to completely omit key lyrics not seemingly in the music at all and then just slumps against the microphone stand as if it were the only thing holding him upright. A little later he tries to tell a few jokes that nobody can understand and the place begins to get quiet as everyone begins to realize something is wrong.
The band omits a lot of the song list and jumps to "Light My Fire".
At this point Jim has been barely singing along, if not mumbling the lyrics to songs as he uses the mic stand for support - it is a sad sight!
During "Light My Fire" Jim loses all composure and slumps down on the drum riser and does not even get up when it is his time to sing - he doesn't even budge.
The band goes through their parts again waiting for Jim. John kicks Jim and shoves him forward. Jim then reluctantly moves towards the front of the stage and does his best to sing along but cannot even come close.
In frustration, Jim picks up the mic stand and continually slams it into the stage eventually splintering the wood. He then throws the stand and storms off the stage leaving the band alone and the audience confused to say the least.
The band however completes their performance but I'm sure feels extreme embarrasment and dissappointment, as does Jim as well.

This is the last time Jim sings live with The Doors.
