Jim Morrison & Jimi Hendrix - What is the story about this?

Ok, I have an MP3 of some wacked out jam that is labeled as Morrison and Hendrix. The song is very classily titled *ahem* "Fuck Her In The Ass." It *SOUNDS* like Morrison and Hendrix, as far as the voices go. There's not much to the tune beyond some poorly recorded sounds of a bunch of guys noodling on guitars/bass/drums while "Morrison" chants "fuck 'er in the ass, popular favorite" a bunch of times, and throws in a few more swears and rambling mumblings.

What is this and where is it from? I never knew of a show where Morrison and Hendrix performed together. And someone who sounds like Hendrix says "there's Jim Morrison" a couple times. Thanks for the info.

Oh it's definitely the both of them all right. That thing has been around forever. It's been put out as a full length record under numerous titles - I don't think anyone has the rights to it. It was supposedly it was recorded at the "Scene" club in NYC in 1968. Johnny Winter's group was playing and Hendrix showed up to sit in and jam with them. They run through a bunch of nondescript blues tunes.

Then Morrison shows up, barges his way onto the stage and starts ranting and raving. He stays for a couple songs and then god knows what happens to him. On the copy I have, he's credited with "harmonica, vocals, abuse, obscenities". Anyway, the band soldiers and and does a couple more Cream covers ("Outside Woman Blues", "Sunshine of Your Love"), and that's it. The whole thing is poorly recorded and pretty worthless. But I'm a Hendrix nut so there it sits in my collection.

Oh, and btw on my copy the track you describe is entitled "Morrison's Lament"!

Oh, and I should have mentioned - as if it needed to be said - Morrison was completely annihilated (from the way Hendrix plays it sounds like he probably was as well).

Thank you, Mr. Diamond. I had never heard that story before, must have been an *interesting* scene to take in :)

I think it's pretty funny - definitely worth having in a collection!

Also in that recording you can clearly hear Jimi say something like "Try that mic there Jim". I get such a kick out of that recording. :D

I have this on a tape somewhere of the gig entitled "Woke Up Thos Mornign And Found Myself Dead Blues" which is a decent title. The music is disposable but its entertaining to hear once.

I remember (so I may be wrong) that you can hear hendrix ask for someone to remove Jim's comatose body from the stage later on.

I heard this just recently acutally! It wasn't very good.

I bought this on a snazzy picture disc LP ages ago for about $20 and haven't listened to it in about eight years. Wonder what it could get on eBay...
