Bands that did perform: The Doors, Them, Alice Cooper, Rockin’ Foo, J Geils Band, Peter, River, Truth, The Bumps, and Zu
The Doors arrived only minutes before taking the stage, with policemen standing on either side on the fender of the car which drives right up to the stage.

Parts of the contract The Doors (Robby Krieger) signed for the show.



Clause #19 shows that the US isn't as 'great' a country as it thought.
Shameful that such a thing had to be part of a contract. Fair play to The Doors but Oregon hardly a hot bed of segregation.
I wonder how this played out in the Southern states?





Seems Robby had to join the local Musicians Union





How The Byrds star has waned since 1965.
Doors paid 6 times as much.
