The Doors - 1967-09-22 -  Brooklyn NY (FM)

1960s - #6: In the mid 1960s, one of the most prominent DJs in New York City was Murray Kaufman, better known as Murray The K.  He was an early ardent supporter of the Beatles, and one was one of the first DJs to greet and interview them when they arrived in America. He even  nicknamed himself the 5th Beatle! He moved to FM radio in the late 1960s and helped pioneer free form radio.  He also launched a TV program, called Murray The K In New York, featuring up and coming rock artists.This soundbaord recording captures his September 22, 1967 show, from 54 years ago today, featuring The Doors, who had burst on the scene earlier that year with their debut album and the single Light My Fire. By the way, this TV appearance took place just 5 days after the legendary Ed Sullivan show where the Doors also performed Light My Fire.  Jim Morrison, against Sullivan's, sang the line "we couldn't get much higher", resulting in Ed canceling 6 other scheduled appearances! When confronted and told the band would never play The Ed Sullivan Show again Jim smiled and replied "We just played it!"
