Thanks for the opinion on the Dylan Jersey.  I was perusing your photos and the one of Ray Manzarek stopped me.  As a teen I waited outside an exit of the Long Beach Arena after a Doors concert. After about two hours a limo pulled up and all the members except Morrison exited.  I thanked Ray for the show and he stopped and shook my hand.  I didn't get an autograph or a photo, but I have a fond memory to share.

That's awesome. Did you ever see them play Larry!

Yes, I saw the concert prior to my waiting for them to leave the venue.  They performed a very long show which was quite fantastic.  I remember Morrison drinking whiskey from the bottle and him being a bit hoarse.  I guess I'm old enough to have seen a lot of really great bands/musicians but not so old to not remember.

Awesome, too bad you didnt get their signature.

Very cool. That may have been the longest show they ever performed.

Did you keep your ticket ?

Thank you Larry. I toured with the Doors a few times during early and mid 2000's when Ian Astbury sung for the. Amazing tours and great people. I was honoured to have met Ray and Robby over the three tours.

Paul, I didn't keep the stub.  I was 16 at the time and I think paid less than $10.00 for a floor seat.  I had no idea the value, sentimental and other, they would have had.
