Night Divides The Day: The Doors Anthology

<p>''We were reflecting on our own career as it was happening. It’s not that we were trend-conscious, we were doing exactly what we would have been doing anyway.'' <b>- Jim Morrison</b></p><p>''We didn’t sit down and have a meeting to say, ‘Hey, we want to change the minds of people.’ We didn’t say it but we enjoyed doing it.'' <b>- John Densmore</b></p><p>''The Doors is bigger than any of us, and that only happens once in a lifetime and not to many people. It’s an honour to be one of The Doors.''<b> - Robby Krieger</b></p><p>''We were just a bunch of psychedelic guys trying to spread the word and the feel of what it was like to be high in Venice back in the mid-sixties. And boy, was it a good feeling to watch that sun set into the middle of the ocean and feel that peace, and to feel at one with the universe.'' <b>- Ray Manzarek</b></p><p><b></b><span><b>Night Divides the Day</b> is the definitive chronicle of The Doors, offering an intimate </span><span>and richly illustrated exploration of the band’s legendary journey.
