We played the Fillmore for the first time the weekend before the Human Be-In. It was the Young Rascals, Sopwith Camel and that group from LA that nobody knows... - The Doors. The place was packed. We went onstage and opened with 'When the Music's Over.' I had my left and right hands playing contrapuntal melodies against one another on the keyboard. San francisco had never heard this kind of music before... having taken a little toke of a joint before going on, I of course had the power of the universe in my right hand. I was at once the god of love and the god of destruction... I played and played and played and Jim started screaming into the microphone and the rest of hte band kicked in and the audience let out this simultaneous roar of approval. The Doors and San Francisco had a love affair from that moment on. We were home.
