The Doors and Led Zeppelin played together on Sunday July, the 27th 1969 at Seattle Pop Festival.
Morrison was indeed on his way down, after the Miami incident.
The Doors cut their set short after Morrison, I guess, was too wasted.
Plant gave an interview to NME, Apr. 1970, where he matter of fact just retold what happened at the festival.
But, all you posting about Morrison being bipolar/selfdestructive and whatnot, must understand that you are total nobodies.-
When was the last time you wrote When the Music´s over, Break on Thru and The End?
Ordinarye people always describe artists as crazy, b/c they don´t understand. They don´t breathe the same air.
Debussy was crazy.
Dostojevskij was crazy.
Mozart was crazy.
Morrison was crazy.
But infact they are geniuses!
If anything Mossison is steeped in the same tradition as the poètes maudits: Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Poe, etc.
So I think when Plant makes the referrence to "Out here in the perimeter..." from The Wasp/La Woman, he just acknowledges the craftmanship. A nod from one artist to another.
Plant wrote great lyrics w/ Zeppelin and still sings great Listen to his latest album: "Raising Sand". He sings like no one else!
Plant is an artist, which is also why I don´t see Zeppelin getting together again.
