Origin
[edit]Like several other tracks from their second album Strange Days, the song was composed before the group had a record contract, being performed and elaborated in the middle of 1966 at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles.
One such gig was captured on the 2012 re-release of the record and film Live at the Hollywood Bowl. A performance from 1970 was released in 2018 on the Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 album. Rolling Stone magazine quoted Doors member John Densmore as saying, "playing that song was intense.
I had to take a deep breath before playing it, because it’s not a little three-minute pop ditty."[5]
The final album version was recorded in 1967. Jim Morrison wanted the song to be recorded live in the studio without overdub
