No One Here Gets Out Alive No One Here Gets Out Alive No One Here Gets Out Alive (1980) is a biography of American singer-songwriter Jim Morrison, lead singer and lyricist of the rock band the Doors. Morrison died in Paris in July 1971 and this was the first biography written about the singer. The first draft was written solely by Jerry Hopkins shortly after Morrison's death. Hopkins, a journalist with "Rolling Stone", based the draft on an extensive interview he conducted with Morrison as well as interviews with friends and associates. However, attempts to find a publisher failed. A second manuscript, with additional content added
Live at The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 (The Doors) Doors' manager Bill Siddons. A 2002 interview recorded with Ray Manzarek, the Doors' keyboardist, who died in 2013 is also included.

Much of the recording sees the group bathed in a single red spotlight. Jerry Hopkins in his biography of the band, "No One Here Gets Out Alive", commented on the cold wind
