The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, guitars, keyboards, harmonica and vocals.
Around ten guests added percussion, bass, guitars, saxophones, flutes and vocals.
The first album without Jim Morrison sold poorly and got bad reviews. The band was just staggering around by now, just a shadow of themselves. Most of the life had gone from this band, despite of the three musicians being some very good musicians. But not as The Doors.
The final sign of life as a trio and a band saw the release of Full Circle.
The music is a mix of psych rock, blues and rock.
The quality of the music is pretty poor and this album sounds like one of those projects rejected by all record labels. It would have been if it was not an The Doors album.
And that was the end of this band. A band with a brilliant debut album and a charismatic, self-destructive front man. The three other musicians is great musicians in their own right so it sounds a bit unfair to say that The Doors was the debut album and Jim Morrison. But that is how it was.
Anyway, check out this very important band and their eight albums.
