 On December 12 , the Doors played the Warehouse in New Orleans for what turned out to be their last live performance with Morrison . Midway through the set , a drunk Morrison began slurring the lyrics to " Light My Fire " , interrupted with speeches and jokes . He sat in front of the drum platform in between Krieger and Manzarek 's solos , but did not stand up to finish the song . After prompting by Densmore , he tried to sing , before bashing the mic stand into the stage until its wood splintered . The Doors agreed to stop touring and focus on completing L.A. Woman .
