I heard this when it came out. I was 13, and I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg in bed at night. I'd listen under my pillow so my parents wouldn't hear it and come in and switch it off. When I heard this in a darkened room, it was very exciting and just a little bit scary.
I remember hearing it when I was very young as well, and immediately falling in love with it despite it being pretty spooky. I'd never heard anything quite like it before (and frankly haven't ever since.)
Yes, listening to Radio Luxemburg in bed ... I also remember this time, before "video killed the radio star"! Although: The sound quality of medium frequency AM broadcasting was of coarse quite poor; I think when "Riders on the Strom" was released (in 1971 according to Wikipedia, when I was 17), I probably only listened to Swiss and German broadcasting stations using VHF FM. So I can't actually remember when I heard the song for the first time; but meanwhile it is my absolute favorite of all songs by the Doors.
'71 was a truly amazing year for durable music: Gordon Lightfoot "If You Could Read My Mind", Janis Joplin "Me and Bobby McGee", Ike & Tina Turner "Proud Mary", Jethro Tull "Aqualung", Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" , Three Dog Night "Joy To The World" , Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar", Rock Opera "Jesus Christ Superstar", Carole King "It's Too Late, Baby", Ringo Starr "It Don't Come Easy", Carly Simon "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", Emerson Lake & Palmer "Tarkus" - and that's just the first six months ! The biggest items were still to come... (Roundabout, Stairway to Heaven, Won't get Fooled Again, etc etc, all released before the end of '71)
I love that the singer appears to be reading the lyrics off his phone. Like, "yeah I do a flawless Jim Morrison impression, but it's not like I know the words or anything."
I liked this song so much I went to my local record shop and I asked "What have you got by The Doors?" The shop assistant said: "A bucket of sand and a fire blanket.” Thank you Tim Vine.
I believe Jim’s whispered vocal track was the last thing he recorded with the Doors. It was definitely the last song all 4 members of the band were involved with.
Also weird to think that Jim never got to perform this live, in fact I believe that he never got to hear the whole of LA woman as the mix was completed after he left for France where he passed away. Let me know if I’m wrong, saw a doc quite a few years ago so…..
I was thinking about that Ray interview throughout your performance... And when I saw it at the end, it just made the entire video perfect... a perfect tribute indeed.
Riders is my favorite song by the Doors. That keyboard intro also inspired me to learn piano, too! It’s so inspirational and sounds like sunlight hitting a glass of water. You made it sound just as graceful as the real thing and more. Great job as always, keep up the good work!
After watching any of your videos I was sure it would be a good recreation of the keyboard part, what I didn't expect was a whole recreation of the song and it being *THAT* good that even the vocals are convincing without being an impression. I'm a big Doors fan and kind of picky when it comes to covers and tributes but I can listen to this one over and over without guilt XD
GREAT JOB! BRAVO!! We used to perform that one often. Bill Hendricks Band. Live. All parts. Piece of cake with everybody playing together. AND if was storming outside the club - we even had the thunder and rain sounds!!!
I listened to the original and this back to back, the whispering is actually quiet here, that and the modern production are legit all that remind me this isn’t the original, damn this is crazy good
Outstanding recreation David, I didn't know about the whispered words. The vocals by Guy Bangham were superb, he certainly has the timbre of Jim Morrison. One of the great songs, it still sounds amazing.
Masterpiece of a track and a fantastic cover. I'm absolutely in love with the drums on it, the groove during the verses is absolutely impeccable. John Denmore is a massively underrated drummer.
Ray may be my fav keyboard player ever, Riders is definetly my fav Doors track, and THIS just became my favorite tribute to that track. Congratulations David, this is both impressive and special, I´m glad i´ve came across this channel
I am blessed with having been 9 years old when this song was popular! And light my fire was all over the radio at that time! Jim Morrison was soooo popular back then!!! And then things sort of went blank. The doors were just Amazing!
You captured the song!! Note for Note- you resembled the original song. Even played the keyboard Solo exactly as was played decades ago. I did go to a few Doors Concerts in my teens. At one concert , I did notice a real live Bass player. Always played in the Shadows of the Stack of Marshall Amplifiers. Thank you for the impressive concert..
Great job on this beautiful song. It taps into timeless feelings, both of warm shelter and brooding dread, at hearing a storm approach. Love it. Such an evocative piece. Ray was such a dude. RIP. Your singer totally nailed it too. Cheers
Gobsmacked. You have some amazing chops. The electronic drum kit cymbals look so small, you have obviously practiced a lot on them. Lastly, this channel needs more subs, seriously under the radar numbers.
Great stuff David.....I've watched nearly all your videos and you are an excellent musician on not just piano but nearly every instrument there is........Kudos to you and I l👀k forward to all your future videos
WOW! This is Génial! You are so talented Mr. Bennett and the voice OMG I close my eyes and I hear JIM ! Thank you so much Such a Great song very well done! 👍🏽
Excelent job David! This is one of the most iconic songs of The Doors, which simplicity of the bass line is a pedal that works as foundation for the melody and other instruments to lay on.
This is sublime. This took a gentle hand and plenty of talent, and the result is extraordinary. Well done! Special mention to the vocalist, who nailed the Jim Morrison sound.
Damn, the vocals are right on point! I can hear a few timing imperfections on the keyboard - not gonna complain because I know how hard playing exactly in time is 😅 Overall great recreation mate :)

That guy did a killer job recreating the vocals. Awesome work.
Yeah, that was the part I was afraid would be cringe as fuck... but damn did he nail it.... while reading the lyrics of his phone! :P
He sounds a LOT like Jim.
He's so late with timings thou
I was about to say you should call him by his name. Lol
@@NinjaMatt2201 22 seconds ago lol
Hats off to the singer; proper performance there.
100%
The effect on that guitar is perfect. It has such a chilling vibe to it.
🤩
Man you’re a proper multi-talented chap! Beautiful performance, and also hats off to your mate who proper nailed the vocal vibe 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!

I got into The Doors 25 years later as a 15 y/o. Head phones on, lights off, bon voyage....

Ruins it a little for me.
@@nomnom112 would probably help him emote more and improve performance memorising and understanding the lyrics on an emotional level
@@nomnom112 Yeah same
Yea, I never truly liked when the singer read the lyrics on the Phone. It looks bad
This generation can't remember any lyrics without a phone or tablet. Kind of sad
Fantastic reproduction of one of my favorite songs! Even the vocals sound just like Jim Morrison.
I liked this song so much I went to my local record shop and I asked "What have you got by The Doors?" The shop assistant said: "A bucket of sand and a fire blanket.”
Thank you Tim Vine.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to The Doors
The Doors are fine. My comment is a pun..
I like this joke very much. 😅
Spine tingling version David. You're a wonderful talent
😊😊😊😊
Excellent reproduction ... your musicianship was second to none. Vocal was absolute perfection.
Wow, thank you!

I always wondered did Jim ever sing this live
My favorite Doors song! Thank you David! And I have to agree with the majority of the comments, the vocalist is excellent!
You know you're witnessing talent when they make a masterpiece seem so easy... Great job!
His vocals are stellar. Great job guys
I was thinking about that Ray interview throughout your performance... And when I saw it at the end, it just made the entire video perfect... a perfect tribute indeed.
The original isolated keyboard track for this song is one of the best things I ever heard on RUclips.
Love the Doors and love this faithful recreation!
😃😃
Wow - close your eyes and its Jim singing - sent shivers down my spine - great recreation loved it !
Riders is my favorite song by the Doors. That keyboard intro also inspired me to learn piano, too! It’s so inspirational and sounds like sunlight hitting a glass of water. You made it sound just as graceful as the real thing and more. Great job as always, keep up the good work!
Love these recreations, amazing work David!!!
One of the cool things about growing up in the 70s is any time it rained the local radio stations played "Riders on the Storm"
OutSTANDING job...very impressive. I like your singer very much, too. Recreated with love and admiration.

@@andrewmarcellis2007 Thank you for the suggestion. I'll look them up.
After watching any of your videos I was sure it would be a good recreation of the keyboard part, what I didn't expect was a whole recreation of the song and it being *THAT* good that even the vocals are convincing without being an impression.
I'm a big Doors fan and kind of picky when it comes to covers and tributes but I can listen to this one over and over without guilt XD
Right after you said he spoke the lyrics over the original track I listened to it. In all these years I never heard it until now. Very cool.
I also haven't heard it before. How is it even possible?
It’s my favourite part - for me it adds a layer of creepiness to the track.
@@grahamturner288 Creepy is how my cousin described it once I showed her 😅
Well done! The singer suits the song very good!
This is fantastic, excellent, brilliant
Thank you!
Absolutely LOVE when you do recreations of classic songs!
ive had this song stuck in my head for a week now, thank you for this
GREAT JOB! BRAVO!!
We used to perform that one often. Bill Hendricks Band. Live. All parts.
Piece of cake with everybody playing together.
AND if was storming outside the club - we even had the thunder and rain sounds!!!
One of the most beautiful song in all times. This piece is cinematographic, all our senses are floating in a chaotic myst.😅 you did such a great job❤
Your overall way of filming and editing is very fulfilling. Direct but delicate. I love it.
I listened to the original and this back to back, the whispering is actually quiet here, that and the modern production are legit all that remind me this isn’t the original, damn this is crazy good
I‘m not a musician so its super fun for me to hunt for the little differences and try to think about why they differ. Its so close to the original. 🤩
I am loving these recreations of classics. More please!
Outstanding recretion. Gave me goosebumps!
Outstanding recreation David, I didn't know about the whispered words. The vocals by Guy Bangham were superb, he certainly has the timbre of Jim Morrison. One of the great songs, it still sounds amazing.
Wow the vocals are absolutely spot on! Great musicianship also David, I aspire to that!
Fantastic! Wonderful musicianship.
Many thanks!
Masterpiece of a track and a fantastic cover. I'm absolutely in love with the drums on it, the groove during the verses is absolutely impeccable. John Denmore is a massively underrated drummer.
I truly can’t stop listening, you are so right on!❤
As you were talking, I was nervous about the vocals, but dude NAILED it!!!! I know the instrumentation would be awesome.
Ray may be my fav keyboard player ever, Riders is definetly my fav Doors track, and THIS just became my favorite tribute to that track.
Congratulations David, this is both impressive and special, I´m glad i´ve came across this channel
La rompiste, David! Abrazo.
You fucking nailed it; good on ya; Jim would be proud!
Absolute perfection of 2 men band. Beautiful, mesmerizing , and justified recreation. Jim will raise from the grave. ❤️👍👍
Great job. Thank you both for showing me another layer to my favorite Doors song.
This is so beautiful man, thanks a lot for this tribute and hats off to your performance and your friend on vocals
I love watching your videos and always look for them, but now I’m subscribed!! Great job on this!!
I am blessed with having been 9 years old when this song was popular! And light my fire was all over the radio at that time! Jim Morrison was soooo popular back then!!! And then things sort of went blank. The doors were just Amazing!
Seriously, nice job, a masterpiece well explained for sure.
This was really amazing. Those vocals were spot on too! Awesome job 👏
I did this myself years ago, and you literally got all the little nuances you only hear from listening so many times. 10x better than my version too
You captured the song!!
Note for Note- you resembled the original song. Even played the keyboard Solo exactly as was played decades ago.
I did go to a few Doors Concerts in my teens. At one concert , I did notice a real live Bass player. Always played in the Shadows of the Stack of Marshall Amplifiers. Thank you for the impressive concert..
Truly wonderful! Thanks.
Great works and a great singer!
Amazing recreation, David! The singer is so uncannily close to Jim Morrisson's actual voice too! Loved it! ♥
You totally nailed that. The vocals were great as well. Have you thought of doing a track from pink Floyd DSOTM for the anniversary of that album?
A fantastic recreation David - one of my favourite songs too. Props to you & Guy for this amazing tribute to the Doors’ musicianship.
Great job on this beautiful song. It taps into timeless feelings, both of warm shelter and brooding dread, at hearing a storm approach. Love it.
Such an evocative piece. Ray was such a dude. RIP.
Your singer totally nailed it too. Cheers
Gobsmacked. You have some amazing chops. The electronic drum kit cymbals look so small, you have obviously practiced a lot on them. Lastly, this channel needs more subs, seriously under the radar numbers.
Bravo. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Love the clips of original band members!
Your version is amazingly done ! It made me appreciate the song in a new way to see the parts being played in HD video 😙
I loved your Day in the Life, this is another one I'm gonna love!!
So Incredible! Thanks!
very knowledgeable and talented
Thanks!
Great job! An excellent cover of my favorite song by the best band to come out of our county of Los Angeles...
Magnificent Maestro 🙏💗🎶

Excelent job David! This is one of the most iconic songs of The Doors, which simplicity of the bass line is a pedal that works as foundation for the melody and other instruments to lay on.
Such amazing cover, the vocals and the instrumental part are both awesome! Great job! I’d love to see more covers on famous songs🤩
I’d love to see more Doors in your videos. Ray Manzarek is one of my favorites.

Great job David. Your keyboards really capture the original Ray Manzarek sound and vibe. Nice guitar too 👏
Wow....incredible, all of it, especially liked Guys vocals; he nailed Morissons voice.
David this just highlights your mastery of all your instruments so well. Thanks for such a cool video!
Really good cover. With good pedagogical resources.
I was just jamming this song with my friend the other day and we thought of covering it live - how convenient that you made this.
Love that amazing song. I realized how the drums have a soft native people effect, tom tomish. Thanks for doing this!!❤
Incredible, well done guys.
Everything in this video was awesome, the Song (a masterpiece), your recreation, the singer and everything else. Splendid!
EXCELLANT JOB, on all instruments !!
This is sublime. This took a gentle hand and plenty of talent, and the result is extraordinary. Well done! Special mention to the vocalist, who nailed the Jim Morrison sound.
Damn, the vocals are right on point! I can hear a few timing imperfections on the keyboard - not gonna complain because I know how hard playing exactly in time is 😅 Overall great recreation mate :)
I wasn't expecting spot on vocals but that's what I got
TIL the twinkly passages come from the Rhodes! What an incredible instrument.
Bravo!!!
Thank you 😊
Goosebumps all the way, amazing recreation 👏👏👏
