What's true and not true?

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.

What's true and not true?

Post by J.B.Marx »

Don't know if this is the right place to put it in, but here it goes.

We all know that there are a lot of scenes in the movie that did not happen or are just not accurate. A lot!
I just wanna make the picture complete for myself, what is not a real actual event in the movie?

Yip that's certainly a song that wasn't played in Miami.

I believe the "kill the duck" scene is also not true.

BOT was the first song of the set, not recorded.

Damn that's true. I believe they actually played BOT for like 10 minutes.
Jim wouldn't start singing.
