Ray Manzarek's signature sound for The Doors was him playing a Rhodes Piano Bass with his left hand while playing a Gibson G-101 with his right. Can't mistake The Doors for any other band's sound 😎🔥
I didn’t know that. That seems really hard, but brilliant.
Only live. In studio they had actual bass players.
@@stevemercer6976 This one's got the keyboard bass on the studio track though.
Yep...Ray is the anchor in this band. Let's Jim do his thing!!!
If you don’t know Ray, get yourself a week off and enjoy some of the best jams you’ll hear. Ray was a huge sound in the Doors.
The Doors hit the airwaves in 1967. Thee band was named after a book titled "The Doors Of Perception". They made us "Break On Through" for a while. The Doors were closed in 1971.
That book is, flatly to roundly, just WonderFull! Author Aldous Huxley went straight into my Top Ten before I even finished it LOL.
I never realized it was just 5 short years!🤯
can i jump to Purple/Sabbath or i am missing something between this and those bands?
What a Lyric!!!!! "I found an island in your arms, a country in your eyes" sheer class
There you go bj late 60's
This, to me, is their signature song. They said they were all about breaking through into another sort of reality (hence naming themselves the Doors)--very psychedelic but also super original.
its lean too... harkens early punk.... the more aggressive & darker side of the summer of love. has aged better then their peers b/c the lyrics were more truthful & relevant then the flowery platitudes of many of their peers.
They were named after the Huxley book...The Doors of Perception, all about a mescaline trip.
As a Brazilian I'm glad that we influenced at least one song of this band...😅
This and “Roadhouse blues “ my favourites ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
They recorded this in summer of 1966 and released it on New Year’s Day 1967. The record label promoted this new group with a Sunset Strip billboard, “Break on Through with The Doors.” The label initially censored and edited the word “high” from the song but the uncut version emerged this century under looser industry standards.
Keyboardist Ray Manzarek plays two keyboard instruments, one of them being the Fender Rhodes "Piano Bass" - an electric piano that offers almost three octaves of bass playing range packaged in a piano type electric keyboard.
The other keyboard generally is an electric organ and this varies. On "Light My Fire" Ray plays a Vox (brand) Continental (model) - Vox ended in 1971 and in 1992 the brand was sold to Korg.
Alternatively to the Vox Continental, Ray played an electric organ by the "Lowrey Organ Company" that was sold as Gibson G-101, as Gibson Portable Organ, and as Kalamazoo K-101. This was intended to compete with the Vox Continental as well as the Farfisa.
Ray Manzarek was its most famous player, probably. The 101 had a few features over the Continental - pitch bending and a flat top that easily held the piano bass.
Certainly a classic Doors song. Jim Morrison broke on through the other side at a young age of 27 on July 3, 1971. R.I.P.
The cursed age of 27.
So many have died at that age from James Dean to Hendrix to Amy Winehouse and plenty in between.
Deal with the devil?
What devil?
Since most of them are either suicides or
overdoses. Makes you wonder, if they are doing it on purpose.
@@TheCornishCockney James Dean died at 24, still sad and way too young nonetheless.
There will never be another Doors… The beautiful poetry of Jim’s lyrics and the mastery of the band’s talent is one of a kind.
Ray Manzarek went through a couple of different organs in his time with The Doors. This is an early track and he was playing a Vox Continental. He moved to a Gibson G101 combo organ (has a separate keyboard to play bass lines) and finally to a Hammond B3.
I knew someone would know all the gory details about Ray's keyboards. Thanks.
Ray was, and probably still is, so good on those keys that they never needed a bass player.
@@scottcarr8738 He's no longer with us, but still probably better than most keyboard players!
@@cliptych LOL!!!!! I don't think anybody enjoyed that as much as me! Brilliant. Unless you weren't making a joke. If you mean the record of his playing held up to others, ok. I took it to mean that most key players suck so bad that even a dead guy can play better.
Nothing sounded like that Vox
The " she gets high " line was censored for well over 30 years and was only then restored into the song
There's nothing wrong with looking up a song's year of release before reviewing it, as opposed to guessing on video.
I even like it when reactors look it up during their reactions
Reactors are fishing for comments and likes. Some reactors give background. It’s okay that some don’t!
"That sound" is the Hammond organ. There weren't many electric keyboard options in '67 so it was a signature sounds for that period. Within a year or two the first synths, namely the Moog, appeared.
I think this was the Vox Continental Organ iof I'm not mistaken
"Break on Through" was released in 1967 on their debut album. This song was censored by Electra Records censors because of the repeated lines of (She gets high) on the original album. Thank you for this reaction video Asia and BJ.
It was a great opening song for an album.
The Keyboardist playing the bass riff just channelled Ray Charles and this timeless classic was born.
First track of their first album...blew us away!
Another Great Reaction from the Doors Break On Through To The Other Side. This 1967 album was the Door's debut. Thank you for sharing, Asia and BJ!
It was released in 1967
IIRC, when this was first released (and I bought it immediately) it was the first album to have 1,000,000 orders BEFORE it was released.
I wasn't a huge Doors fan but I know most of their songs simply because my interests have always been varied and broad in my lifetime They have some unique and creative tracks for sure.
If you want to continue the ride, I'd suggest "When The Musics Over" for a more lengthy, serene song, "Peace Frog" for an upbeat, funky atmosphere, "Five To One" for an in your face , confrontational vibe (that I understand some well known rap artists have sampled).
Moog synthesizer was brand new in 1967. The Doors used it. The Beatles used it on Abbey Road in 1969 and a little bit on the Let it Be album.
The organ is my favorite instrument. It’s so versatile. It can do many things.
It’s commonly referred to as “The King of Instruments.”
BJ knows! He 'grooved' on it! He knows the moves! ...and I believe that organ sound you talked about is a Hammond organ with a Leslie speaker, this was a keyboard to 'make' that kind of sound
Read the lyrics…. Think about them, break them down. Very poetic.
The first song on their first album. Which I bought immediately when it came out in the sixties. And saw them live soon after.
Great organists from the heyday of 40s, 50s and 60s and after are the great Wild Bill Davis, Jimmy Smith, Cherry Rainer and others
This song was released in 1967.
That 60's and early 70's "organ sound" you refer to is so common for a good reason. It was a Hammond B8 organ. It was the first (and for quite a while the only) electronic organ that was durable enough to survive a rock tour. For almost a decade any band playing an organ played a B8. When the synthesizer became popular and affordable you also see the advent of more "tunable" organs.
I believe it was the B3 model.
With the organ sound i call it church rock music back in the late 60s. : ) Back on the radio the chant was :"She gives,she gives!" not "She gets high, She gets high!"
2:37 It's funny that you stated, "I've always loved the Organ." I had a friend way back when who said the same. He liked Organ music! Me, I like lyrics.
On a different note, every Sunday at about 0800, the local classical station has a segment on Organ music and interviews with church Organists.
Wife here...Very 70's Psychadelic vibe!!..I agree BJ the Organ's really something..It does lend itself to a late 60's sound as well..Asia..'You gotta break on through to the other side"..So Adorable you 2!!
There are two guys in the world of rock music that revolutionized use of the keyboards. Ray Manzarak and Jon Lord of Deep Purple!
Actually, nobody has or had a sound like the Doors...you can always identify their signature sound of Ray Manzarek on keyboard.
1967. the radio airplay blocked the word high because of the drug reference.
The rock organ/keyboard is one of the best instruments on earth. If you like the organ listen to Breakthrough by atomic rooster.
Ray Manzarek played as both keyboardist AND bass player - At The Same Time! This is 1967
Another fine band with some compelling keyboards is Traffic, Steve Winwood is an amazing vocalist, guitar player, keyboard player and master song writer. Traffic, like The Doors, have their own distinct sound and some otherworldly tunes. Try Dear Mr Fantasy, Glad or Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, these are unique classic rock legendary tunes, you would love to hear them Enjoy! 🎵 🎹 🎸
Listen to Vic, he knows what's up. Traffic is the bomb!
The Doors had their own unique sound. Love it still after all these years.
This is from '67. Keep in mind that Jim Morrison died in '71 so anything that was released after that with his singing was recorded before his death. The Doors disbanded in '73
Guys, I believe this was recorded in late '66 and released in the spring/summer of '67.
First song on first Doors record. Awesome pick!
It is one of my top rock and roll albums. Brilliant.
I found an island in your arms country in eyes..I have red the lyrics in Danish...been translated and published as poems..Jim was a fantastic writer in any language..
This one reminds me of the Animals, who broke through earlier than the Doors in 1964-65 with songs like The House of the Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Out of This Place, etc. This sounds like an Animals song somewhat.
agree.... love and the animals w/ a little VU are the closest thing to the doors in their era.
My Jim Morrison!!!!!!! Got into him when I was about 14 years after he died when I was 8 .. remember hearing songs on the radio with my parents.. meant nothing then till they came out with that book.. then he became more popular in the 80's after he died.. crazy
As a Buddhist every day I deal in order to find a mental place I call the "sea of tranquility." It's a point of view that gobbles up the chill, swallows the cool and evaporates your bad self thus bringing joy to the world. This song, "Break on Through," is dedicated to the effort it takes to maintain the cool. Of course if you already made the grade you are probably looking back and can recall how foolish it all was to try so hard when it is already there and no need. Anyway. That's how I read the song. Be cool my sister and brother. All the love.
The bassist for Elvis played on the recordings, and Ray the keyboard player played the bass with his left hand. Fun fact. Thanks y’all!
She is precious. Regrets from Spain, Madrid. Im 40 and Im listening The Doors since I was 16.
My dad listened to the Doors when he was in Vietnam 🇻🇳 🇺🇸
Thank him from me, for his service.... that was no easy road.
Nobody else, in 1967, had the balls to open their "Debut Album" with a song that incorporated a "bossa nova" beat !! The Doors "Broke on Through" all right !! Hell, "Alabama Song" on that album featured a Polish "Um Pah" sound... Love you guys !!
Because B.J. is a fan of organ music,
I recomend a song called:
"Green Onions"
It's by Booker T & the M.G.s
Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
That is a great song!
If you love a good organ sound then you have to check out Organ Donor (extended cut) by DJ Shadow
Not sure how known DJ Shadow is in America but he was pretty big here in the UK in the early 2000s. He's a hip-hop DJ that makes his tunes almost entirely of samples from 60s/70s but chops them up in new ways
Organ Donor is a great example of taking one Organ sample from an old hippie song and slicing it up into some cool electronic/ jazz/ funk/ hip-hop
..."Class of 76"...There is no steel guitar in the doors band...that's Ray Manzarek playing the upper of his 2 keyboards with one hand while playing the typical organ/piano sounding lower keyboard with his other hand...a master playing his part of the doors sound that takes place of most bands guitar riff...
"Texas Radio and the Big Beat" is the best Doors song. The Doors were active in the late 60s.
This was recorded in 1966 and released Jan 1967
They played our high school in 1967. Perks of growing up in Los Angeles Think this their debut album best cut is " Crystal Ship"
Oh yes so that’s right I forgot to say Aldous Huxley used to live out here in the antelope Valley right outside of LA up in pear blossom
when he was writing the doors of perception of course he took mescaline and I think he took LSD that’s where the doors got their name from
so don Vanvliet also known as Captain Beefheart who Eventually became very famous
was poor back then was selling vacuum cleaners he went to Aldous Huxley‘s house not knowing he was a world wide known writer and tried to sell my vacuum cleaner with this line
“this thing really sucks
and Aldus Huxley bought the vacuum cleaner from him
But you can’t believe anything Don Vanvleet had to say anyway but that’s the story he told us…
During the versus of the song John Densmore the drummer is playing a bossa nova beat
Ray Manzarak was one of the best so just appreciate his sound and talent!
This is Vietnam war music. Best time for music in America.
In the original recording "she get high" got edited out due to drug implications. The final cut was just "She get, she get, ahhhhh!"
THE DOORS was my first music I remember at 2 years old. 1967… LIGHT MY FIRE 🔥 was the song, my parents had it playing. Yesss I was still in cloth diapers with rubber pants just turned 2. Music ever since.🧚🏽♂️
We in SoCal always referred to The Doors as "Las Puertas"
Cannot play it loud enough. Ray Manzareks
signature sound keyboards solo 👍 and Jims epicness ☆☆☆☆☆
You're right- the Doors and organ sound were actually from the 60s. Too bad they changed this song with some remastering, that "she gets high," although fortunately it wasn't too much different.
that sound is from a wooden electric sithesizer posibly build in the end 60s
The good stuff! not '70's, 1967!!
Fender Rhodes keyboard and bass.
One hand plays the bass, the other hand the rest.
R.I.P Ray ❤️
The Doors was a California based group in the 60’s . A lot of the groups that came out of California then used the organ.
Jim Morrison (lead singer ) went to college for poetry
One of a kind late 60's the where cutting edge had swag.
Robert Moog invented his synthesizer in the mid 60's, but this isn't one. The keyboard in this one is a Vox continental combo organ.
Gotta play Riders on the Storm in the car when you are driving on a dark ,stormy night...My all time favorite,though,is Touch Me!
First song on their first album, huge hit.
Morrison is talking about Life and Death.The mystery that surrounds them both and the doors we pass through.When he says to break on through to other side,he is referring to not being afraid to go into the realm of death.
This some of the best rock n roll ever! 1966
Asia & BJ, for your next Doors song I'd recommend "Touch Me"!!!
no
The 60’s and 70’s…………. Untouchable.
my favorite door's rock song, and one of my all time favorite bands!
YES! My all time favorite song! Please react to "Not To Touch The Earth" the studuo album cut
When it says she gets HIGH that was edited out of the radio version of this song how things have changed.
My favourite Doors song, with that bosanova beat, so Latin!
This was the 60s, remember Jim died in 1971, so after that they were no more Ray's organ playing was the bomb! No bass guitar, bass sound with the keyboards. Love you madly next please
They don't make movies about a band very often. Oliver Stone directed "The Doors" starring Val Kilmer. It was pretty good as far as this type of movie and everyone knowing the band so well. The band was formed by Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek when they were film students at UCLA. Other notable bands that were started by UCLA students are Linkin Park, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bad Religion.
The fuzzy, bluesy organ was used a lot at that time. You are right, BJ.
This sound was the background to my life in the 60's and early 70's. I grew up In San Francisco, so the hippie vibe was on. The incense, weed, patolli oil smells were in the air . This was considered very out there music. So, it does not come across as exotic now . Especially, Light my fire.
1967
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side...
DURING THE FIRST RECORDINGS THEY DID I THINK IT WAS LIKE 1-2 WEEK'S STRAIGHT AND MAKE NO MISTAKE JIM MORRISON WAS HIGH & DRUNK WHILE RECORDING 😂 HE WAS IN A BOOTH SINGING & YELLING 😂 IT WAS LATE 60' S. AN JIM PASSED AT AGE 27 !!! SO
I visited his grave in Paris, they had it blocked off because people were taking pieces of his grave stones
You guys are too cute!
Thanks for sharing. Ray Manzarek on the organ is a master.
iconic sounds of the late 60'sand 70's the Moog Synthesizer
First album I bought with my paper route money in 1968 at 14. Their 1967 debut record with an appropriate first song. At that time, they cut out the word, “high”. 😂
One of the very best debut albums in rock history….a must listen
I still consider "The Doors" great for their day, and then realize they recorded this in 1966, which makes "great" a vastly inadequate term.
The Doors When the music's over (live the isle of Wight festival 1970)
Yess! Thanks for this one. Noone EVER does the doors and I'm constantly telling them how good they are!
This is THE TOP SHELF of the late {60s}.
He lived his life on the edge as you can hear through his music; Unfortunately gone too soon
The best poet ever! ✌️😎
Y'all need to check more of J.M out.
Actually most of the songs were either written by Kreiger alone or Morrison alone or with Kreiger or all The Doors.
Yeah that was an organ I bought that album way back when it came out and for some reason now it sounds old fashion and funky even back then it sounded old-fashioned and funky to me but what the hell what do I know
For a 60's organ vibe from another band of the time, try Possession by Iron Butterfly
