BRIAN STEINBACH PHOTOGRAPHS THE DOORS
Contributed By: Brian Steinbach
For The Doors one and only performance in Washington, D.C., Brian Steinbach brings along his instamatic camera and takes some photos of The Doors. We'd like to give a very special thanks to Brian for providing his photos and story to MildEquator.com!
"My first and only Doors concert at the age of 14. The Hilton was an odd venue - really a hotel ballroom. I had been there earlier the same year for a retirement party for my grandfather! This is the same hotel Reagan was leaving when he was shot.
The Doors opened with When The Music's Over. I have four halfway decent pictures from the show. These were all taken from a couple rows back. A fifth was taken from a good distance back after Jim jumped to the floor, but that is not visible in the darkness. (I've omitted some shots of opening act Nitty Gritty Dirt Band). They were made with an Instamatic, poor light (I think on some the flash did not go off) and color had faded over the years. The fourth photo, taken I believe a little late in the show, shows Jim reading the note someone handed him. I have no idea what it said. John and Robby are also visible. Fun for the rent a cop telling me to get back to my seat!"
