And a BIG THANKS to BURTONC as none of my uploads would have the Quality without his help and advice. So when you dnld The Beatles Rooftop Concert Remix (with thousands of worldwide downloads, and who really can count all the many thousands of downloads across all the torrent sites throughout the world on that one....that's the Man that deserves the credit for the second Rooftop Concert Remix upload quality. It has never one single time stopped seeding since I re-encoded it. Yes, I increased my own knowledge after BC stepped up to the Plate and hit one out of the BallPark, but isn't that what it's all about? You take what you are taught and increase that knowledge or else the Teacher wasted his Time, and Time is the most precious element of our lives. Judging by the many quality uploads with not a single thumbs down (until one single arsehole decided to be recognized for who knows what reason) - clearly for all the World to know.....BC did not waste his Time. :=) The Entire World has been enriched as I am right at this very moment watching that torrent uploading 24/7 and never ever once stopping.
As stated above this is a LIVE/VIDEO as a tribute to Jim Morrison.
Growing up in the 70's the number of our Bands Heroes dying off got to be so numerous we somehow just got used to it - then the 80's hit us hard as ever!...here is a link as the Names are too numerous to mention without leaving someone out. This is an amazing list and seems to keep in check our wanting to be Musicians/stars.

There's a Storm Thundering Outside so I gotta go for a Ride now...Enjoy!

"Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah"

"Riders On The Storm" This was the last song Jim Morrison recorded. He went to France and died a few weeks later. The single was released in June, 1971, shortly before Morrison's death. On June 27th 1971 (June 27th), one week before Jim Morrison's death, "Riders On The Storm" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #74; and on August 29th, 1971 it peaked at #14 (for 1 week) and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100...It reached #1 in France, the country were Jim passed...In November 2009, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame under the category Rock. The song, according to an interview with Ray Manzerek was only performed live 2 times, on The L.A. Woman tour at The Warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 12, 1970 and in Dallas the night before that. Ray said playing those songs were "magic". This was The Doors' last public performance with Jim Morrison. It was only the second date of the tour, but was also the last, as the tour was cancelled after this concert. The song can be seen as an autobiographical account of Morrison's life: he considered himself a "Rider on the Storm." The "killer on the road" is a reference to a screenplay he wrote called The Hitchhiker (An American Pastoral), where Morrison was going to play the part of a hitchhiker who goes on a murder spree. The lyrics, "Girl you gotta love your man" can be seen as a desperate plea to his long time girlfriend Pamela. As it says in Jim Morrison: "Life, Death, Legend" by Stephen Davis, in 1962, while Jim was attending Florida State University in Tallahassee, he was seeing a girl named Mary Werbelow who lived in Clearwater, 280 miles away. Jim would oftentimes hitchhike to see her. "Those solitary journeys on hot and dusty Florida two-lane blacktop roads, with his thumb out and his imagination on fire with lust and poetry and Nietzsche and God knows what else - taking chances on redneck truckers, fugitive homos, and predatory cruisers - left an indelible psychic scar on Jimmy, whose notebooks began to obsessively feature scrawls and drawings of a lone hitchhiker, an existential traveler, faceless and dangerous, a drifting stranger with violent fantasies, a mystery tramp: the killer on the road." This evolved out of a jam session when the band was messing around with "Ghost Riders In The Sky," a cowboy song by Stan Jones. It was Jim Morrison's idea to alter the title to "Riders On The Storm." The Doors brought in bass players Marc Benno and Jerry Scheff to play on the album. Scheff came up with the distinctive bass line after Manzarek played him what he had in mind on his keyboard. It took a while to figure out, since it was much harder to play on a bass than a keyboard.Ray Manzarek used the electric piano to create the effect of rain.This was the last song on the last Doors album with Morrison. Fittingly, it ends with the storm fading slowly to silence. The remaining Doors released 2 more albums without Morrison before breaking up in 1972. In 2002, Kreiger and Manzarek reunited as "The Doors Of The 21st Century." Densmore, who says he wasn't invited to join them, went to court and eventually got a ruling preventing the group from using The Doors in its name, so they changed their name to "Riders On The Storm" after this song. If you listen closely, you can hear Jim Morrison whispering the lyrics over his own singing, which causes a kind of creepy effect. This was Morrison's final contribution as a rock star. Ray Manzarek told Uncut magazine September 2011: "There's a whisper voice on 'Riders on the Storm,' if you listen closely, a whispered overdub that Jim adds beneath his vocal. That's the last thing he ever did. An ephemeral, whispered overdub." The Doors ended up producing this themselves with the help of their engineer, Bruce Botnick. The single was shortened for radio play. Some of the piano solo was cut out. In year 2000, the surviving members of the Doors taped a VH1 Storytellers episode with guest vocalists filling in for Morrison. Scott Stapp from Creed sang on this track. Creed contributed a version of this to the 2000 Doors tribute album Stoned Immaculate. Creed also performed it with Doors guitarist Robby Krieger at Woodstock '99. Krieger sat in on Creed's "What's This Life For?" during the set. Doors drummer John Densmore wrote a book called Riders On The Storm about his life with Jim Morrison and The Doors. Eric Red, the screenwriter of the 1986 film The Hitcher, has said that his screenplay was inspired by this song. He said in an interview with DVD Active: "I thought the elements of the song - a killer on the road in a storm plus the cinematic feel of the music - would make an terrific opening for a film. I started with that scene and went from there."
