Jim Morrison had been asked by the producers of the show to change the word "higher" for "better" in the line "Girl, we couldn't get much higher" from the song 'Light my Fire', which they were to perform that night. Morrison and the rest of the band agreed, but once the producers left, Morrison told the band that he wasn't going to change the words. When it was time for them to perform, Morrison sang the words as they were. Immediately after, the producers and Ed ran back stage furious and told them they were banned from performing on the show ever again.
