"'Light My Fire' ha estado sonando en la radio en 1967, por lo que todos conocíamos esa canción. Así que cuando mi hermana me preguntó si quería ser su pareja en el baile de “Regreso a casa”, de la Universidad de Colorado en octubre de ese año, le pregunté: ¿qué banda iba a tocar?, me dijo que el Comité de “Regreso a casa” había contratado un grupo de Los Angeles llamado "The Doors", claro "Light My Fire”. Eso sería genial, el otro grupo era una banda denominada “Broadway Shell”, un grupo psicodélico local. The Doors , como se comentó, trató de romper el contrato con el comité de “Regreso a casa”, ya que se encontraba en un gran momento, sin embargo, el Comité los confirmó, por lo tanto, The Doors, supongo, de mala gana hizo lo mínimo para el baile y sólo interpretó cuatro canciones: "Break On Through", "Back Door Man", "People Are Strange" y "Light My Fire", que incluyó como introducción a "Horse Latitudes", para luego romper con 'Light My Fire'. Era una instrumentación saturada y una poesía muy rara, interpretada por Morrison en diferentes volúmenes y matices.
Antes del baile, que se celebró en un salón del Hotel Broadmoor, yo estaba paseando por las tiendas del hotel, cerca del vestíbulo, y llevaba mi pequeña grabadora (ahora la llaman Panasonic), era una grabadora de cassette, la que yo había comprado en Tokio en 1964 durante los Juegos Olímpicos. Yo había estado intrigado por las películas de espías como James Bond en la que utilizaban esos dispositivos en miniatura. Yo había estado planeando grabar 'Light My Fire ", sólo por diversión. Morrison estaba mirando unas revistas en la tienda del hotel, y me acerqué a él. Llevaba los pantalones de cuero negro (creo que nunca lo vi sin sus pantalones de cuero) con su cinturón con una concha en la hebilla. Sin estar seguro, en ese instante, si él era el cantante de The Doors, de todas formas encendí mi grabadora y le pregunté "¿Es usted uno de los integrantes de The Doors?", al parecer él estaba pensando en otra cosa en ese momento o no estaba interesado en hablar conmigo, pero finalmente él me dió una breve entrevista. La cual en su gran parte era poco entendible. Por desgracia, cuando me encontré con el cassette en mi sótano hace unos años, la cinta no estaba en buenas condiciones, y toda la entrevista se perdió. Sin embargo me las arreglé para salvar gran parte de una canción, y una canción entera de la Banda de Broadway Shell. También pude salvar las cuatro canciones de The Doors. Sorprendentemente la calidad era bastante buena teniendo en cuenta que yo estaba bailando con la grabadora atada a mi cinturón y el micrófono en la mano. "
"'LIGHT MY FIRE' HAD BEEN PLAYING ON THE RADIO IN 1967, SO WE ALL KNEW THE SONG WELL. WHEN MY SISTER ASKED IF I'D BE HER DATE TO THE COLORADO COLLEGE HOMECOMING DANCE IN OCTOBER OF THAT YEAR, I ASKED HER WHAT BAND WAS PLAYING. SHE SAID THE HOMECOMING COMMITTEE HAD BOOKED A GROUP OUT OF LOS ANGELES CALLED THE DOORS. SURE, 'LIGHT MY FIRE'. THAT WOULD BE COOL. THE OTHER BAND WAS THE BROADWAY SHELL BAND, A LOCAL PSYCHEDELIC GROUP. THE DOORS, AS YOU MAY RECALL, TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE HOMECOMING COMMITTEE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOW IN THE BIG TIME. BUT THE COMMITTEE HELD THEM TO IT. SO, THE DOORS, I ASSUME, RELUCTANTLY DID THE MINIMUM FOR THE DANCE. I THINK THEY ONLY PLAYED FOUR SONGS: 'BREAK ON THROUGH', 'BACK DOOR MAN', 'PEOPLE ARE STRANGE' AND 'LIGHT MY FIRE' WITH A SORT OF 'HORSE LATITUDES' - STYLE INTRO THAT BROKE INTO 'LIGHT MY FIRE'. IT WAS DISSONANT INSTRUMENTATION BEHIND OBTUSE POETRY, DELIVERED BY MORRISON IN VARYING VOLUMES AND EMPHASIS.
PRIOR TO THE DANCE, WHICH WAS HELD IN A BALLROOM OF THE BROADMOOR HOTEL, I WAS IN THE HOTEL DRUG AND SUNDRY STORE NEAR THE LOBBY. I HAD MY LITTLE NATIONAL (NOW CALLED PANASONIC), REEL TO REEL TAPE RECORDER WITH ME THAT I HAD PURCHASED IN TOKYO IN 1964 DURING THE OLYMPICS. I HAD BEEN INTRIGUED BY SPY MOVIES LIKE JAMES BOND WHERE THEY HAD USED SUCH MINIATURE DEVICES. I HAD BEEN PLANNING TO RECORD 'LIGHT MY FIRE', JUST FOR FUN THAT NIGHT. MORRISON WAS LOOKING AT SOME MAGAZINES IN THE DRUG STORE, AND I APPROACHED HIM. HE HAD ON THE SIGNATURE BLACK LEATHER PANTS (DID HE EVER TAKE THOSE OFF?!) WITH CONCHA BELT. NOT KNOWING THAT HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE DOORS, OR THE SINGER, I TURNED ON MY RECORDER AND ASKED "ARE YOU ONE OF THE DOORS?" HE WAS EITHER BLASTED OUT OF HIS MIND OR NOT INTERESTED IN TALKING WITH ME, BUT HE DID GIVE ME A BRIEF INTERVIEW. MOST OF WHICH WAS UNINTELLIGIBLE. ALAS, WHEN I FOUND THE LITTLE REEL TO REEL TAPE IN MY BASEMENT A FEW YEARS AGO, THE FIRST FEET HAD DISINTEGRATED, AND ALL THE INTERVIEW WAS LOST. I DID MANAGE TO GET PART OF ONE SONG, AND A WHOLE SONG FROM THE BROADWAY SHELL BAND. I ALSO GOT ALL FOUR OF THE DOORS' SONGS. AMAZINGLY, THE QUALITY WAS PRETTY GOOD CONSIDERING THAT I WAS DANCING WITH THE RECORDER TIED TO MY BELT AND THE MICROPHONE IN MY HAND."
