Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light
Or just another lost angel...City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon
L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
Drive thru your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue Blues
Into your blues, ohh, yeah
I see your hair is burnin'
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Drivin' down your freeways
Midnite alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman...
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
Motel Money Murder Madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
Risin', risin'
Gone risin', risin'
I'm gone risin', risin'
I gotta risin', risin'
Well, risin', risin'
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
Woah, ohh yeah
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light
Or just another lost angel...City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c'mon
L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman, your my woman
Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman
L.A. L.A. Woman Woman
L.A. Woman c'mon
Rhino's new three disc collection LIVE IN BOSTON features two complete sets
from Friday April 10, 1970 at the Boston Arena and captures the moment just
before the Doors turned their mystical psych circus into a full blown blooze
review. As a historical document, LIVE IN BOSTON is unflinching, presenting a
decidedly warts-and-all view across 46 tracks. With Ray Manzarek's
polychromatic organ, Robbie Krieger's no-frills guitar lines, and Jon
Densmore's Latin-inflected percussion, the band ably follows Morrison through
every far-flung inspiration. The covers are many, as an epic "Light My Fire"
alone touches upon "Fever," "Summertime," and "St. James Infirmary Blues"
before returning to its familiar chorus. The show, of course, belongs to
Morrison who seems stuck between shaman-poet and Brechtian comic instigator.
Indeed one of the primary attractions of LIVE IN BOSTON is the banter. With
more skits than an Outkast record--including idiotic stoner ramblings,
inspired period pieces, and wry self-parodies--this set proves that even at
his most bloviated, Morrison could be an inspired and often hilarious
performer who knew how to push a crowd's buttons. It was worth the price of
admission for Doors fans in 1970 and given the staid contemporary relationship
between rock performers and audiences, it still resonates today.
MORRISON MOTEL:
Road House Blues, Waiting for the Sun, You Make me
Real, Peace Frog, Blue Sunday, Ship of Fools, Land Ho!, The Spy,
Queen of the Highway, Indian Summer, Maggie M'Gill.
