These gigs are near each other in terms of time and distance so I have placed them all on the same thread.
The Doors played Connecticut often in 1967 culminating in the New Haven incident in December 1967.
Staples High School, Westport CT September 21st 1967
The band made such an impression they ended up in a book about it.
15-10-1967
The Bridgeport Post CT
Oakdale Musical Theatre, Wallingford CT September 24th 1967
There is confusion here as the posters seems to suggest The Doors are playing two nights and the first is sold out.
But the 23rd is without a shadow of a doubt the Stony Brook U date in Long Island NY.
The band only play ONE night on the Sunday 24th.
The Doors play a total of nine songs during this 7:30 p.m. performance to just over 3,000. During lighting adjustments for "The End" some members of the audience start riding Jim and he in turn retaliates with some remarks of his own. This altercation seems to produce a rise in Jim and he gives one of his most intensely enigmatic versions of "The End" in which he almost assaults the crowd with deafening screams of incredible feeling while using extreme body gestures that enthralls the crowd and ends this evening's performance.
