The Doors were forced to perform as a trio at a concert in Amsterdam on September 2, 1968, after lead singer Jim Morrison collapsed while dancing during the Jefferson Airplanes performance. Ray Manzarek who did most of the vocals that evening explained what had happened, Ill never forget seeing Jim Morrison carried out on a stretcher. We were in Germany and we were playing with Canned Heat and Canned Heat was doing a lot of hash. The Bear had given Jim this large chunk of hash at the airport, and were about to cross a border. A rock and roll band and a bunch of long-hairs, you know were gonna get searched. So, our manager came up to us and said, If anyones got any dope then for Gods sake, get rid of it. Were going into Holland, get rid of it, were not gonna cross a border with anyone carrying anything. So Jim reached into his coat pocket and woops, Ive got this ball of hash. Well, I guess Ill get rid of it...gulp!. The rest is Rock n Roll history.
