Question
during  the song "when the music's over"live  from the absolutely live album,just before the known sayin:we want the world and.........jim talking to the audience says something  like this : shut up...now say to me a way to behave in a rock and roll concert you dont wanna hear that for the .....please help me finish it in english from the beggining of the talkin to the audience part.

Answer
Have checked into this a little more for you. Absolutely Live of course was not one concert but taken from a series of "live" performances recorded during 1970. The dialogue you speak of would have come from any number of these performances. Also Morrison was notorious for raving on during concerts and changing lyrics, chatting with the audience etc depending on his mindfame at the time.
I have checked with a couple of real "Door Heads" and they could only give me the following link.

all the W’s brightmidnightarchives dot com

This is a Doors sanctioned web page dealing with their major “live” albums. On there you will find Transcripts at the page top, you can read every lyric and every word spoken on stage during these concerts.

Hope this is of help.

When The Music’s Over is The Doors third longest song behind The End and Celebration of the Lizard.
Released originally from the album Strange Days October 7th 1967.The official lyrics which I have no doubt you have read are as follows.
“I hear a very gentle sound with your ear down to the ground.We want the World and we want it. We want the World and we want it,,,, Now, Now, Now!
Without pulling that album apart using very sophisticated equipment I can’t tell you exactly what he said that night. I will look into it and see if I can find an answer but no promises.
Happy 2009!
