Mattina... Vento gelido... La scuola è iniziata da non molto tempo, vedo arrivare altri studenti in attesa del pullman, tra di loro non ci sono amici miei, D&G, Baci & Abbracci sono i loro capi di abbigliamento, non mi riconosco tra di loro, ma non mi sento a disagio, anzi... Adoro stare nell'asocialità più totale.
Quel "tunz tunz" da discoteca non riesce a schiodarmi dalla contemplazione del mio nuovo cd, me l'hanno regalato il giorno prima, "Doors, Live in Hollywood" è il titolo, me lo tenni per il viaggio, morivo dalla curiosità. Finalmente vedo il mio autobus infilarsi nello spiazzo, è arrivato il momento che aspettavo da un giorno...
Salgo sul pullman, il riscaldamento è spento, accendo il lettore e dopo il saluto di Morrison verso il pubblico partono le note della classica cover "Back Door Man", Jim è carichissimo, la batteria tiene il ritmo benissimo e il freddo sembra poco a poco sparire sulle note di quel bluesaccio. "Break on Through" è stravolta e nonostante i ritornelli meno carichi è lo stesso incalzante, non so cosa ci sia a tenermi fermo, il veicolo sembra viaggiare velocissimo. Con "When the Music's Over" si raggiunge uno stato mentale incredibile, calmissima ed emozionante durante le parti più lente, ma agguerrita al punto giusto nella parte centrale. La migliore insieme a "Light my Fire". "You Make me Real" conferma la bellezza del disco. Ascoltando "Universal Mind" non si può restare indifferenti, a me vibrava il cervello ogni singola nota e udendo Jim cantare ci si può solo rendere conto che perdita abbia avuto il mondo della musica.
Un banco di nebbia circonda il pullman, nebbia che durante il blues rock di "Touch me" aumenta notevolmente e con un disco del genere si può solo pensare a una cosa: quella nebbia è in realtà fumo psichedelico da concerto a dimostrare che ora si fa sul serio, a dimostrare che ora si è nel vivo del live e a provarlo c'è un'infuocata performance di "Soul Kitchen", dove la batteria di Desmore (molto più in evidenza che nei dischi in studio) sembra impazzire, un momento di pausa per Jim, con la prestazione di Manzarek al microfono in "Close to you" e la parte strumentale di "Peace Frog", ma il frontman torna in grande stile per cantare eccellentemente "Blue Sunday" e soprattutto "Five to One". "Celebration" fa da antipasto ad una estremamente bella "Light my Fire", dove i duelli tra Manzarek e Krieger fanno da protagonisti, sembra quasi di vedere il palco prendere fuoco...
Giusto in tempo, perché vedo il cartello "Ati Bus Carignano" sul palo giallo della fermata... la mia amica mi tocca sul braccio... Sento un urlo "Cazzo Marco, che hai? E' ora di scendere, sbrigati o rimaniamo bloccati sul mezzo!"... Fu così che riposi delicatamente il disco nella custodia e scesi... uscii dal mio mondo e iniziai a farmi spazio per scendere... Capii che il concerto dei Doors era giunto a termine... Ora bisogna tornare alla vita normale...
Dannatissima provincia che toglie la voglia di vivere...

The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends, alive she cried
Waiting for me
Outside
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly
Come back, baby
Back into my arms
We're getting tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft yet very clear
Come today
Come today
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
We want the world and we want it
Now
Now?
Now!
Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us, Jesus
Save us
So when the music's over

08 Soul Kitchen (06:50)
Well the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night
In your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well your fingers weave quick minuets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget
Learn to forget
Learn to forget
Learn to forget
Let me sleep all night
In your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I'll have to go now
I really wanna stay here all night
All night
All night

Close to you like water is wet.
(I want to get)
Close to you till I'm feeling all right,
Close to you--gonna love you all night,
Close to you in New York City,
I love you so much you know it's a pity.
Closer and closer baby.

They got the guns but, we got the numbers
Gonna win yeah, we're takin' over!
Come on
Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawin' near
Shadows of the evenings
Crawl across the years
You walk across the floor
With a flower in your hand
Tryin' to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna make it baby in our prime
Come together one more time
Come together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
16 Light My Fire (13:54)
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
