October 12, 1967 at The Surf Nantasket in Hull, MA I was among the few to attend a concert by the Doors. It is one of my fondest memories. We showed up for the first show and it was cancelled. Some say it was because of a lack of ticket sales and others say it was because the band was late. But when the show was canceled we traipsed down the street to a little Italian restaurant to eat. After we were seated the Doors entered the empty restaurant and were put at the table next to us. I watched Jim Morrison, not ten feet away from me, down two bottles of wine with dinner and then proceed to put on a fantastic show.
Hull was a great bike ride when I was a kid from Scituate, through Cohasset via Jerusalem Rd. and out onto the peninsula. Now I'm getting nostalgic for the old wooden roller coaster at Paragon Park.

NO? Why do you say that? The Hull "Mouth" reference...? That was "Hellmouth"

Wow John! What a great story. Confirmed the venue from back then just now with my brother-in-law who grew up in the area.
So many great Italian places here to this day!
