Comments:

The Doors are a little slow getting started tonight, but by the time they arrive at their "People get Ready" jam they are in high gear. That unreleased jam goes over exceptionally well with the crowd, who are subsequently introduced to two additional songs - "Universal Mind" and "Someday Soon". The only other know time that "Someday Soon" is performed will be one month later in Seattle, and that version is pitiful in comparison to this one. After superb versions of both of songs, the audience is busy shouting for favorites when Manzarek suddenly burst into the opening lines of "When the Music's Over" and the crowd goes wild.

Morrison turns towards Krieger and breaks into a wide smile and Robby reciprocates in kind. Tonight's version of the song rises to new heights when Morrison begins inserting rare snippets of his poetry in between his legendary howls and groans. When the song is over, the band takes a pause and Morrison requests a cigarette from the audience. He is bombarded with single butts and full packs.

Morrison gratefully scoops up a handful, strolls over to Manzarek, and the two of them take a brief smoke break. During it, one heckler successfully provokes Morrison into flipping him off, and then, after a few moments, Jim returns to his mike and makes some brief comments about his experiences in Miami.

Then the band continues with another unreleased song - a rendition of "Close to You" featuring Mazarek on lead vocals, during which Morrison moves to the side of the stage. As Manzarek cries out his invitation of "Wanna get close to you, Pittsburgh," a portion of the audience responds by spilling out of their seats and advancing towards the stage. The arena management reacts by bringing up the house lights, but by now nothing can interfere with the high spirits that pervade the auditorium.
