On August 15th, Paul Rothchild and Jac Holzman come to the Whisky to hear The Doors. After that second set, Holzman and Rothchild approach the band and offer them a contract this very night! The Doors are excited but tell Elektra they need to think it over. Holzman and Rothchild return to New York and The Doors hire Max Fink as their attorney while thinking the deal over. On the 16th, Max Fink and Elektra begin negotiations. "I came to the club and there was a small crowd, not big. The Doors opened, and I heard one of the worst sets of music I have ever heard in my life. Knowing that the record company always gets to hear the bad sets, and that I had just travelled across the country to hear them, I stayed and heard one of the greatest sets of music I have ever heard in my life!" - Paul Rothchild.
