Sept 17th 1968 Copenhagen in Tv Studio

We're lucky to have former Doors road manager Vince Treanor here to answer fan questions and share some of his memories. Ask Vince about anything related to the equipment The Doors used, stage set-ups, specific concerts, the band after Jim's death, and working on the Oliver Stone movie.

Hi Vince, What are your recollections of this tv show they did on sept 17th 1968? I Believe it was early in the morning, everybody is on top form and by far to me the BEST version of WTMO i have ever heard.

The Set list for it-

Alabama Song/Backdoor Man
Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Love me Two Times
When the Music's Over
Unknown Soldier

8) I agree with Stuart......I also think the emotion that Jim shows in Texas Radio...is what made him such an awesome preformer....any other info you can shed Vince, would be appreciated......did you accompany The Doors on this trip abroad?

Jim was rested after his hospital stay in Amsterdam. He was also a bit more subdued than usual. He was intent on showing the Guys that he could perform well - when it suited him.

Of course, knowing that it was for TV and would ve heavily censored should he step out of line, also kept his behavior in more tolerable limits.

They guys liked performing live because they could relate to the audience.

If course I was on that tour. I was on every Doors tour from 1967.12.26 until 1972,01,19 when Siddons dismissed me summarily.
