The band that started out noted for their wildly unpredictable performances, their jazzy vibe, and the crazed monologues of their front man ended as badly as did the sixties: abruptly, bloodily, cripplingly. It wasn't Morrison who wrote the hits: it was guitarist Robby Krieger. It wasn't Morrison who saw a bright, acid-flared future for the band, but keyboardist Ray Manzarek. Wall captures the true spirit of that tarnished age with a brilliantly penetrating and contemporary investigation into the real story of The Doors.
