On September 15, 1968 a drugged and drunken Jim Morrison was taken to hospital after collapsing on the stage of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, having stumbled into the middle of a live set by Jefferson Airplane. Morrison's consumption of alcohol and hallucinogenic drugs was legendary, but the incident suggested he might no longer be in control of his intake.
His collapse in Amsterdam came after a day of heavy drinking, and sources close to the band revealed he swallowed a sizeable block of hashish given to him by a fan immediately before the show. Ray sang quite good and included the usual poetry of Jim during 'Break On Through' and 'Soul Kitchen,' Robby started 'Unknown Soldier' and Ray continues it. As a trio, The Doors impressed.

"There were two tape sources for the Amsterdam show. The first cuts out during the 'Light My Fire' jam and the second which contains 'Light my Fire' in its entirety. However, neither tape seems to contain 'Unknown Soldier.' There is a rumour that floats around that 'Unknown Soldier' was played in Amsterdam, sung by Robbie, and a recording of this exists. I was merely asking why would almost the entire show surface, while one track would be "hoarded" or kept among the "inner circles" but we've already seen such cases."
