For Plant, who'd been a fan prior to the show, watching him in action proved to be a bitter disappointment. "I respected the Doors' albums," he insisted. Sadly, Morrison would only continue to intensify his unpredictable behavior during the rest of his short tenure with group, and died less than two years after the Seattle debacle. But the electricity of lead singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page quickly warmed them up." Zeppelin faced a jaded and uncomfortable audience that had been standing in the cold all evening. Zeppelin took the stage after it all ended, and according to one critic at the show, they delivered a suitably satisfying palate cleanser for the wary crowd as the review put it, "Sunday night was supposed to belong to the Doors but it was stolen right out from under them by the great English blues group, Led Zeppelin. Watch the Doors at the Seattle Pop Festival in 1969 My wife and I were there watching and we couldn't believe it." "He hung on the side of the stage and nearly toppled into the audience and did all those things that I suppose were originally sexual things, but as he got fatter and dirtier and more screwed up, they became more bizarre. "You can get into a trip of your own that you don't really realize what's going on in the outside world," Plant later told Melody Maker. As far as Zeppelin singer Robert Plant was concerned, it made for an appalling spectacle.
Unsurprisingly, the kids in the audience did as they were told, resulting in a set that may have been sickly fascinating from a non-musical point of view, but ended in shambles, with Morrison reportedly striking a crucifixion pose for three solid minutes after the rest of the Doors had cleared the stage. Get it all out - all your little hatreds, everything that's boiling inside you. Someone else cursed him and Jim let fly: 'Hey, hey, hey - you bigmouth bastard, say that again. "He tried rapping to them during 'Light My Fire' and someone threw a cup of beer at him," recalls the book. According to the book Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend, the crowd seemed "bored" with the group's performance of "When the Music's Over," setting the stage for what became an open confrontation between the singer and the audience.
