House Announcer:
Alright, wait a second. We’ve got a really long show, got a helluva show for you. So beautiful piece.
Alright, now look, look we’ve, we’ve seen a lotta things happen in the city.
Everything’s turned around, everything’s beautiful. Nobody thought we’d be able to bring THE DOORS here, and we did.
But we’ve got a couple of things, wait a second, man. Look, we just got a couple of little things we gotta talk… tell you about. The Fire Marshal was not going to let this show go on, and I just had a long meeting with him and man, this… this is no joke. You either gotta sit down, and you gotta go back to your seats, and you gotta make aisles or that’s it, man.
You gotta move back. Hey, look, hey look… wait a second, hold on, let’s have a little help, man. Come on everybody, go back to their seats. People are gonna get hurt up here, they’re gonna pass out, and we don’t wait it, man, and THE DOORS don’t want it either.

Love hides in the strangest places.
Love hides in familiar faces.
Love comes when you least expect it.
Love hides in narrow corners.
Love comes for those who seek it.

Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise.
Universal mindI was doing time
In the universal mind,
I was feeling fine.
I was turning keys,
I was setting people free,
I was doing alright.
Then you came along,
