[edit]1965–68
[edit]origins and formation
the origins of the doors lie in a chance meeting between acquaintances and fellow ucla film school alumni jim morrison and ray manzarek on venice beach california in july 1965. morrison told manzarek he had been writing songs (morrison said "i was taking notes at a fantastic rock-n-roll concert going on in my head") and, with manzarek's encouragement, sang "moonlight drive". impressed by morrison's lyrics, manzarek suggested they form a band.[citation needed]
keyboardist manzarek was in a band called rick & the ravens with his brothers rick and jim manzarek, while drummer john densmore was playing with the psychedelic rangers, and knew manzarek from meditation classes. in august, densmore joined the group and, along with members of the ravens and bass player pat sullivan (later credited using her married name patricia hansen in the 1997 box cd release), recorded a six-song demo in september 1965. this circulated widely as a bootleg recording. that month the group recruited guitarist robby krieger, and the final lineup — morrison, manzarek, krieger and densmore — was complete. the band took their name from a line in william blake's poem the marriage of heaven and hell, ('if the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite'), according to the currently festival-touring documentary on the doors, when you're strange.[citation needed]

whisky a go go
by 1966, the group was playing the london fog club and soon graduated to the prestigious whisky a go go, where they were the house band, supporting acts including van morrison's group them. on their last night together the two bands joined up for "in the midnight hour" and a twenty-minute jam session of them's "gloria".[5] on august 10, they were spotted by elektra records president jac holzman who was present at the recommendation of love singer arthur lee, whose group was on elektra. after holzman and producer paul a. rothchild saw two sets of the band playing at the whisky a go go, they signed them to the elektra records label on august 18—the start of a long and successful partnership with rothchild and engineer bruce botnick. later that month, the club fired the band after a profanity-filled performance of "the end". in an incident that foreshadowed the controversy that later followed the group, an acid-tripping morrison raucously recited his own version of the greek drama oedipus rex, in which oedipus unknowingly kills his father and has sex with his mother.[citation needed]
[edit]debut album
'the doors' self-titled debut lp was released in the first week of january 1967. it featured most of the major songs from their set, including the nearly 12-minute musical drama "the end". the band recorded their first album at sunset sound recording studios from august 24 to 31, 1966, almost entirely live in the studio.
in november 1966, mark abramson directed a promotional film for the lead single "break on through (to the other side)." to promote the single, the doors made their television debut on a los angeles tv show called boss city, circa 1966, possibly early 1967 and then on a los angeles tv show called shebang, miming to "break on through," on new years 1967. this clip has never been officially released by the doors.
the band's second single, "light my fire", became the first single from elektra records to reach number one on the billboard singles chart, selling over a million copies.[6]
[edit]early television performances
on august 25, 1967, the doors appeared on american television, possibly for the first time. they guest-starred on the variety tv series, malibu u, performing "light my fire". they did not, however, appear live. the band is seen on a beach and are performing the song in play back. the music video did not gain any commercial success and the performance was more or less forgotten.[7] it was not until they appeared on the ed sullivan show that they gained attention on television.
in may 1967, the doors made their international television debut by recording a version of "the end" for the canadian broadcasting corporation (cbc) at o'keefe centre in toronto.[8] it remained unreleased except in bootleg form since its initial broadcasts until the release of the doors soundstage performances dvd in 2002.[8]
in september 1967, the doors gave a memorable performance of "light my fire" on the ed sullivan show. according to ray manzarek, network executives asked that the word "higher" be removed in favor of "better", as you couldn't say "high" on national tv. the group initially agreed to this, but nonetheless performed the song in its original form, either because they had never intended to comply with the request, or jim morrison was nervous and forgot to make the change (manzarek has given conflicting accounts). either way, "higher" was sung out on national tv, and a furious ed sullivan cancelled another six shows that had been planned, to which jim morrison reportedly said: "hey man, so what? we just did the ed sullivan show".
on december 24, the doors taped "light my fire" and "moonlight drive" live for the jonathan winters show. from december 26 to december 28, the group played at the winterland ballroom in san francisco. an excerpt taken from stephen davis' book on jim morrison (p. 219–220):
the next night at winterland, a tv set was wheeled onstage during the doors set so the band could see themselves on the jonathan winters show. they stopped playing "back door man" when their song came on. the audience watched the doors watching themselves on tv. they finished the song when their bit was done, and ray walked over and turned the tv off. the next night was their last ever in winterland.
they played two more dates in denver on december 30 and december 31, capping off a year of almost constant touring.
[edit]strange days
the doors spent several weeks in los angeles' sunset studios recording their second album, strange days, experimenting with the new technology they now had available. the commercial success of strange days was middling, peaking at number three on the billboard album chart but quickly dropping, along with a series of underperforming singles.[6]
