On September 18, 1968, a half century ago today, The Doors were booked to perform a mini concert for Television-Byen in Copenhagen, Denmark. For a brief moment, whether The Doors would perform that show, or any other show for that matter, was in doubt as a few days earlier, on September 15, Jim Morrison had over dosed after spending a day in Amsterdam, ingesting every drug handed to him by passer-byes as he the rest of The Doors and Thh Jefferson Airplane, who were on tour with them, walked the streets. Later that day, Morrison collapsed on stage during the Airplane's set, and was rushed to a local hospital. The rest of The Doors played their set, with Ray Manzarek filling in on vocals. Given Morrison's condition, no one was quite sure how the show in Copenhagen would go, but the band was braced for disaster. Instead, they turned in a remarkable performance, as captured in this soundboard recording. While Jim was clearly tired from his ordeal, starting the concert sitting on a stool, by the end he was on his feet, fully engaged and giving every ounce of strength to the show.
