Light My Fire
© The Doors 1967
Live At The Boardmoor Hotel Ballroom,
Colorado College Homecoming Dance
Colorado Springs, CO.
Sat. October 21st, 1967
It was spring of 1967 when Doug Brown was asked to find a band to play for Colorado College’s homecoming dance.Find new talent on a modest budget, the chairman of the homecoming committee was told. And did he ever.
Brown, a junior, signed The Doors to perform in an intimate ballroom setting at a time when the band was exploding in popularity nationwide.
The band, which was booked before the chart-topping release of “Light My Fire” that propelled it from underground to mainstream, played the CC venue for a fraction of its going rate.
By mid-November, the band was the subject of articles in Time and Newsweek, and a famous photo spread of Morrison appeared in Vogue magazine.
In between came the Oct. 21 performance in a second-floor ballroom of The Broadmoor Hotel.
