This weekend Cougar Microbes attended ‘When You’re Strange‘ at Ideas Generation Gallery. The exhibition showcases images of The Doors taken back in their 60’s and 70’s heyday.
What is wonderful is that the infamous shots that have characterised both the band and Jim Morrison‘s public personas sit side by side with rare images that caught the band relaxed and with their guard down.
Watch this candid interview with Henry Diltz who captured some Of the band’s most iconic images and witnessed some of the madness. Additionally, if you have a few thousand pounds lying about you ought to check out the exhibition catalogue where many of the photos on display will be sold.
Idea Generation have done a good deed in bringing these photos to London. Hopefully, they have reminded people not only of what a fantastic band The Doors were but also how their images helped define what we now consider rock photography.
The exhibition is on until the 5th of September so make sure you catch it.
