On August 8, 1967, The Doors recorded the play "The End" in Toronto for the Canadian television series  'Rock Scene: Like It Is'. The band were given the priceless opportunity to choose the song they would perform, and they wisely decide to do their epic masterpiece, “The End”. Although advertised as appearing in the O'keeffe Centre it was actually filmed at CBS studios in the former Carlton Theatre with a live audience. date October 16th is the actual broadcast date. The band in 'white' (light) clothing and Gym in black highlighted the two tones within The Doors. Jim was always the darkest band member and loved being a 'Door' 24/7 whilst the others could relax into a sort of 'renowned anonymity' away from the insanity of The Doors.
