2011-10-26 10 Dailymotion

The Doors perform two shows this evening and the second is reportedly the
more powerful. After the Doors' finale Light My Fire, the audience is well on their way to the exit when Morrison unexpectedly reappears onstage. Somewhat shyly he announces, "Hey! The show was supposed to end with that number, but [pause] I don't see why we can't go on!". All at once, the entire crowd reverses in
a huge surge, cheering, shouting, scaling chairs and prompting the hall's
security forces to encircle the stage. The mesmerizing opening chords of The
End serve to induce a calm trance throughout the scores of people crushed
against the stage, and The Doors conclude the show with a terrific version
of the song.
