The Living Theatre-Paradise Now

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.

No, In fact I was on a plane on the way to Miami when Jim was seeing that show.

It was the basis for his suggestions of nudity for the crowd and the reason for Ray panicing when Jim took his shirt off - "Vince, Don't let him take his pants down"

Ray and John were of simultaneous mind that Jim was going to get naked on stage. He did not and the resulting furor is history.
