The Ed Sullivan Theater (53rd Street and Broadway) -- Here, on Sept. 9, 1956, the world went wild at the sight of Elvis Presley's swinging pelvis. On Feb. 9, 1963, The Beatles made their appearance at the vanguard of the British Invasion there. On Sept. 17, 1967, Jim Morrison defied broadcast propriety and sang "Light My Fire" his way instead of censoring the line "Girl We Couldn't Get Much Higher." A lot of important moments in pop music history happened on "The Ed Sullivan Show," and I'd be remiss to avoid the theater that housed it.

“Prior to this evenings event Jim presents promoter Bill Graham with a helmet adorned with bright psychedelic colors and written across the front is “The Morrison Special”. This is of course an apology for drilling him in the head with his twirling microphone during their last performance on June 9th and 10th. “

" Morrison was supposed to be the star of Andy Warhol's first "blue" (porn) movie. According to Warhol, Morrison had "agreed to bring a girl over and fuck her in front of the camera but when the time came, he never showed up.”

"When it came time to do 'The End' a very different mood took Jim over. He became shamanistic and led the small group on a shamanistic voyage. He put himself into a trance and, through that, put us all into a trance."
Ray Manzarek
