Strange Days: Light My Fire Live (2011)


Source:Strange Days- as Jim Morrison and The Doors, performing Light My Fire in Sherman Oaks, California, in 2011.

"Los Angeles-based STRANGE DAYS performed "Light My Fire" THE DOORS classic on Saturday, June 25, 2011 at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The performance was part of Galleria "LIVE!", the free concert series hosted by the Sherman Oaks Galleria." 

From Strange Days

The Lizard King cover looking like the Leather King in those skin-tight, black leather jeans. I'm impressed that anyone whether it was Jim Morrison himself or anyone else like someone playing him, can move and perform so well and gracefully in skin-tight leather jeans and cowboy boots, that must have squeezing his legs and feet. 

This cover is the best I've seen so far when it comes to The Doors. They have the look, sound and act, they've studied The Doors very well.

As far as the Jim Morrison cover: the hair is too long unless you look at Jim Morrison in 1969 when his music career was basically over. His alcoholism basically took over his life and he became very angry at almost everything he saw in life. And he grew a very long thick beard which you don't see on this Jim Morrison cover. 

And in early 69 Morrison was going downhill physically and emotionally and that lead to his horrible performance in Miami where he ends up in jail for his bad behavior. He was even accused of exposing himself at that Miami concert. 

Jim Morrison in his prime had a somewhat short, but thick dark haircut. The guy you see in this video has a hairstyle has a long haircut that was common with headbangers in the 1980s. But not with a blues rocker like Jim Morrison from the 1960s.
