Portrait of the Lizard King as a Young Man-- school yearbook photo of Jim Morrison
The found sound this week comes from the beginning of a Doors show circa '67. The concert was given and the recording was made at a California high school, and the introduction is given by its principal. It's a bizarre and jarring contrast to hear one of the first performances of "Moonlight Mile" preceded by an authoritarian command to stay seated during the intermission ("And no smoking!").
