Live at Devonshire Downs, July 15, 1967
On July 15th, 1967, The Doors appeared at Devonshire Downs Fantasy Fair in Northridge, in San Fernando Valley, a few miles from where I lived at the time. Also appearing were the Airplane, Byrds, Canned Heat, and many other bands. My friend Jill from New York City came with me, and we arrived at 10am.

(Took 20 shots of the band, several of which we’ve sold many times over the years to many Doors books). When the theater opened, we ran to get the best seats we could. There were about 20 people in line in front of us. I remember the day like it was yesterday. Our minds were immediately blown because as we ran to grab our FRONT row seats, a little left…
Ray Manzarek, Live in Cleveland, March 31, 1975
While attending Bowling Green University, my buddy Ron and I were lucky enough to see Ray Manzarek perform live at the Agora Theater in Cleveland, OH. We got there very early, parked my 1962 Thunderbird right out front, and got a table in the front row! Ray started the show…
