Another brief
support slot at
Coll, this time
with Meantime
singer Iain
Macaskill
sitting in on
the drums, and
putting a “Stray
Cats” style
rockabilly
backbeat behind
"Back Door Man".
The band were
always keen to
play more Doors
songs, but
struggled with
the complexity
of the material.
Shortly before
the gig, Steven
announced that
he’d worked out
the chords for
“Light My Fire”
so the band set
to work putting
his version
together.
Unfortunately,
but maybe not
surprisingly,
the somnambulant
axeman had come
up with a Radio
2-style easy
listening
arrangement that
would have put
Perry Como to
sleep. Luckily
Wilbur and
Dead’s musical
inability
combined with a
dodgy sound
redressed the
balance and gave
the song back a
bit of a rough
edge.
Once again,
Steven is
believed to have
had a tape of
this set.
