The Doors, Ondine Discotheque, New York City

A small basement of a club in Midtown Manhattan. The Doors will perform here as their first out-of-town gig. They will play here for a month. The Doors are hired sight unseen with the title as LA's best underground band with a sound unlike anything being played in New York. They were different in every sense. The way they dressed. The way they took the stage. The way they carried themselves around the club and although the music isn't danceable in the classic sense the girls slowly start coming to see Morrison and the band really wins over the New York crowd. Robbie Krieger believes this is the time when The Doors played their best!
