When Jim said why not? he was like a little kid. Greatest lead singer in rock history. I know Robby, and met Ray. Everybody in the group are so talented, I feel incredibly lucky to be able to listen to them.
Anyone can hear the fact that Robbie Krieger is a real rawk gawd on guitar but it's true that Robbie Krieger's name is rarely among the 1st ones mentioned when ppl either give their rankings for guitarists or have hypothetical player vs player battles
Movies either are either lies, or truth. It depends on the producer. And you have to have strong sense to decipher the difference. In most cases, they're looking to appease the common public to make $$$$. So in most cases, they're lies. Unless you watch the oldies. They thrived on breaking the societal barriers, along with real acting, and not just simulations of "acting". Guns guns sex, and more guns guns and sex.. blah!
Jim had a natural knack for rhythm and vocal pitch. No other way to explain how he was able to sing so well despite having no formal musical training. To me, that just means that he truly loved music. Everyone "listens" or "hears" music but not everyone truly loves it.
I just love how in the 1960s The Doors were able to be recording The Soft Parade album while being recorded in the live studio. It just shows the chemistry of what each member brought to the table. Love The Doors 🚪
All the drummers from that time were jazz drummers ginger baker, Jon bonham, bill ward and if they didnt think they were they were influenced by jazz rudiments. The collection of the doors as musician makes the music unique and timeless
I was in high school and Wild Child received a lot of air play on the AM radio of the day. FM had been invented, but no one knew what to do with it yet. No one sounded like the Doors.
I think what happened with Morrison is what happens to a lot of musicians who are put front and center in the spotlight, they turn to booze and drugs to overcome stage fright and when you are doing shows all the time it can quickly spiral out of control. For example I know when the Doors where first starting out Jim wouldn't face the audience out of fear, he would turn his back, so right there that tells me he had the incentive to get drunk or wasted just to get the guts to face the audience.
The Doors aren’t classic rock, they are proto-metal. You can’t change my mind on that. Listen to any live version of “When the Musics Over” and tell me that wasn’t the heaviest thing in existence back in 1968ish. I don’t know how nobody seems to notice this, but some of the Doors stuff was 1000000x heavier than anything Sabbath did, and to be honest, heavier than anything that can out for another 15 years at least.
@@PrestonHazardBlue Cheer, Steppenwolf and even Led Zeppelin played a lot heavier back in 1968. You will grow up eventually and listen to some more music
@@eugenegd2112I’ve listened to many many bands of many different genres, I love rock music as a whole… Id have to respectively disagree though. Zepplin played extremely standard blues rock, and I’ve always had a hard time considering them as anything more than just straight forward rock. I’ll give you Steppenwolf, they might have predated The Who and Hendrix’s use of “controlled feedback” but I’d almost liken them to the “Seattle Sound” with them having more in common with other “proto grunge” artists like Neil Young so I still wouldn’t consider them metal ancestors.
@@PrestonHazard I never implied you haven't listened to many bands or genres. However, labeling ANY version of "When the Music's Over" as proto-metal is a little far-fetched actually. Versions from the Matrix in San Francisco or Hollywood Bowl have zero "proto-metal" tendencies. I can hear more "metal" in the Felt Forum or Boston performances but again not so much, to my ears at least. I am not even a fan of Led Zeppelin but I totally respect their input within the rock format and to my ears (again) they played a lot faster and heavier overally. This is the beauty of the art called music, everyone's ears listen differently. Peace
What a sensational song. There's so much feel in this (along with so much of The Doors). A unique, paganistic vibe. That rhythm is impeccable (some of John's best drumming) and I love Robby's accents. Gritty. Dirty. Legendary.
This great song is a true musical masterpiece which has stood the test of time and will be be loved and cherished for eternity. The sentiment and message in this song rings true today more now than ever, we can all learn from the past. You can't change the past, it's a canceled check. You can't change the future because you don't know what's gonna happen. The maximum point of impact in your life is now! That's exactly what Jim was singing about on this track, they didn't call him the lizard king for nothing. Keep on rocking everybody🍄🦎👑
you can see how Ray kinda gently leads the production, the orchestration. If not for Ray I really don't think the Doors would even be. He was also the diplomat between the band members. Ray was was also way underrated. A truly timeless sound.
ray was not underatted at all..all us doors fans know he was the maestro and the glue..each 1 contributes in there own skill to form the best band ever 2 grace this planet..ray tried vocals,but no1 could replace jimbo,and likewise with rays tickling of the ivories...long live the doors
@@tuddles71 plus he was musician of the year in 1968 i think? Always has to be one member of the band that leads to a degree....usually the most talented as is the case here.
And his 'schtick' was the origin story he laid down later in 'Dawns Highway' ...he felt like and Ray often remarked that he was like the "musical shaman" of the group...and later became the inspiration for that story which was based on a supposed car accident he witnessed as a young boy recalled in Dawns Highway "indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding"...im sure the events over the years in conjunction with his various 'chemical inspirations' probably took the story on a life of its own in his brilliant mind..but the story goes that he felt like somehow the spirit of the Indian entered him and thats what gave him the shamanistic trance like stage presence....like I said probably exaggerated by his various 'chemical inspirations' but he put everything he had into this persona and its typical of Jim to resond with "why?" When the producer said "dont blow your voice" he felt it was always necessary to give people his all because he didnt believe he had a great voice and felt that since all the people came out to see them that the least he could do was give everything to his performance....that can only work for so long if you dont have a way to replenish especially as an artist, who like a sponge absorbs everything around them, and unfortunately his trip to paris was just far too late
The snare sounds so super loose in the beginning of the video, but I guess that’s how he liked it. Like it needs to be hit hard and with the rest of the band playing or you could hear that loose snare sound
I'm 60 years old and I met my husband in 1983. The Doors was blasting from his house and he walked out looking like Jim and he was gorgeous. he introduced me to The Doors. Both of our kids were raised on The Doors. Went to Atlanta twice to see The Doors of the New Millennium. Took the kids. I have been to plenty of different concerts and I have to say that The New Doors was by far the best experience ever. The audience age ranged from 12 year olds to 80 year olds. Robbie and Ray were phenomenal. Spanish Caravan would make you cry. And I agree that Robbie is an underrated guitarist! Ray looked like you picked him up in the 60s and sat him at his organ in the 2000s. He played just as effortlessly and beautifully as always. The music's over...
The Doors were so dynamic and incredibly talented. Jim Morrison such a creative singer and songwriter. They really kicked ass ! And no doubt. The chemistry of this band makes me a believer ...
Such a distinct voice! As soon as you hear that tune, then his voice comes on and you're like FAAARK man, thats MORRISON! LIKE THAT'S JIMMY MORRISON! SUCH AN ACUTE, HORSEY YET BARITONE VOICE!! Soooo unique, so rare, a genius... And maaaannn, that VOICE! GENIUS. PURE POETICA BE
Just Robby and John are still alive as of this moment. Jim joined the 27 Club in 1971 and Ray Manzarek passed on ten years ago. The Doors were ahead of their time and stood their ground against The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and so on during the mid to late 1960s. Jim had bravado, virility, swagger, machismo and rawness in his voice.
Killian Vdb i was thinking about the same thing how can i go back in time and an idea of movie came along while scrolling down my phone to see some comments amazing
I want to tire machine so I can go pick up a 1958 Gibson Les Paul custom maybe a 1954 fender Stratocaster I don’t know I want to buy a bunch of vinyl records from the 1960s I need a Marantz stereo receiver from 1964 all tube thank you I also need a couple of Vox amplifiers please and don’t forget the guitars I also need some Paisley shirts from the 1960s and some beetle boots thank you very much oh I also need a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible with every option on it💰💰💰💰💰💰
Jim always made it ok to realize that music can cast spells, conjure ancestors and celebrate, tribute the spirit, explore more to reality that the familiar, while standing steady aboard your ship navigating through it, getting your info through it, loving it. When you deal in this kind of trade, this kind of craft, like many of the great bands do, there's no point seriously arguing over who was the best, etc. At this level: mission accomplished my friends, the stage certainly has been set.
This song takes me back to winter of 98. I was in high school and my uncle was battling cancer. We lost him by year's end. I remember I would just play this album and disappear in the music.
The flip side of "Touch Me", I'll tell you, this got played much more than the "A" side. Drawn in by Robbie's guitar sound, I didn't know much about slide playing when I was 9 but I knew what I liked!
The thing that most distinguishes The Doors from most artists is their very high I would say pure level of inspiration in composing music and lyrics that seem to come from another world, another dimension, a parallel universe. It seems that the use of psychotropic plants by these extraordinary four artists has produced the effect of receiving artistic inspiration in the form of subliminal communication or even silent knowledge, as Carlos Castaneda and Frank G. Ripel have spoken in their books. These 4 extraordinary men managed to open "The doors of perception", as Aldous Huxley says in his book of the same name and having opened them they managed "... to perceive the infinite" according to the thought of the English poet William Blake. After all, the 4 artists have repeatedly declared that during their "travels" with Peyote they have communicated with an Indian shaman and with an entity that Don Juan of Castaneda would have called "Mescalito", according to Indian tradition. In conclusion, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison are the 4 Pharaohs of human artistic history, the 4 faces of the God Janus transposed into music and constitute the 4 pyramids of music, poetry, literature and philosophy of life, in a human artistic desert in many ways disheartening when you think of today's commercial music. The Doors are a gift that the Gods of Skies wanted to give to mankind, they are a great sign of discontinuity in the history of the modern art scene. No one was like them or will be like them.
First song I ever heard on the radio by The Doors was Light My Fire. Been in love ever since. This song, Light My Fire and Spanish Caravan are definitely in the top 5 for me. Never can forget The Poet
@Rockshift999 I couldn't agree more man... I always say, "If i was to name but one band to be the best the world has ever seen, i would name The Doors". They had everything, and this version of Wild Child just blows me away !
Guess everyone has to die sometime..but today Ray's passing made me so sad..the consolation? knowing i was able to listen to The Doors when nobody would listen to me. I found strength in Jim's confidence, Ray's go for it attitude and brilliant musicianship..the world is such a lesser place without you Ray. time to kick back and join The Soft Parade
I love this footage of The Doors and I never thought how talented they really were in the studio and Jim Morrison was completely different than any frontman ever in rock history and I think it's just a honor to be a Long time Doors fan after my late dad did in his hey day and every night I was thinking about him because he was a fan before me because I know so
That was bad ass, I've always liked the arrangement. It has been said, there are things that are known... ....and there are things that are unknown, in between....there are *The DOORS*
Only 393,223 views!! What's wrong with the world? Man, that voice was way ahead! And can't you already just about see the beard and the blues peekin' through? I want a time machine, too!
Jim was perfectly imperfect, I've heard so many bad things about The Doors movie I can't even imagine how they portayed Jim's life... someday I'll make a better impowering film about the man who is an inspiration to so many. ;)
Wow,This is absolutely some of the best footage ever! Don't overblow jim you gotta long way to go,...why not?...just the expression in the cut makes me feel like i would have an idea of what it would be like to hang with morrison...its incredible the amount of communication that has to go on to record a great album,they all kill it!
Funny! They don't let us see the Bassplayer,he's always anonym. But on studiorecords there is a Bassguitar.Manzarek played the Bass on the Organ at the Concerts...
Manzeryk did all the bass tracks on the studio recordings. He was an awesome bass player. But yes live he played the bass with his left hand on lower organ
I have always liked the doors music since I was a child. At a carnival I once heard a song that blew my mind, and I knew it had to be the doors. Never forgot it. Then in high school I started becoming a doors fan. Expressing my admiration for the doors my causin told me that they are coming out with a movie about them. I was psyched. I am a musician in a very talented band. But they aren't doors fans! WTF!!!!
This is fantastic....how thay put this together...this is how great music is born....the doors are the only band could do this song....there are so many...that most people don't know or don't listen too
Oh, the things you can discover on Facebook. Fantastic to see the band working their magic in the studio. One thing interesting to me is how you can hear the bass player messing around before the take, so he’s there, but they don’t show him at all on camera. I guess they just wanted to feature the core members.
I played classical guitar for 40 years after hearing the intro on Spanish Caravan. I'm not sure if Robbie played the acoustic start. Robbie was very CREATIVE, rather than fast & flashy. I've always been awestruck by all four geniuses. Morrison sent me on an insane journey through incredible literature & poetry i.e. Nietzsche, NOB Love's Body & Ferenczi's Thalassa. Can one tie Jim to Norman O. Brown, Ferenczi, Jeff Epstein as child abduction/torture provider, Mossad and MKULTRA? I suspect so. Read this wiki bio on Ferenczi, there are parallels. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1ndor_Ferenczi
There is an "official" doors channel on youtube which featrures guitar lessons with Robbie where he shows you how to play the songs. This is the Spanish Caravan one: ruclips.net/video/-CxA6Qgj7GA/видео.html
I love The Doors! their music will leave forever... so powerful and enigmatic... it's on my top 10 bands ever!... Jim, Ray, Robbie; i have learn tons of music from them... ok John too LOL (wild child is an awesome song too!! i have played it with full metal distortion >:)
Classic song and really cool behind the scenes footage. I think this version is included on the Doors DVD that came out about twenty years ago jam packed with music videos, interviews and live performances the name of the DVD alludes me. Nothing beats playing a Doors record a d having some cold ones lose yourself in the music.
The Doors will always be in the discussion.
As Doors fans, we are incredibly fortunate to have this studio footage.
My thoughts exactly as i was watching this!!
Big time ! Ty
When Jim said why not? he was like a little kid. Greatest lead singer in rock history. I know Robby, and met Ray. Everybody in the group are so talented, I feel incredibly lucky to be able to listen to them.
Por su puesto... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Robbie Krieger had to be one of the most underrated guitarists in rock.
Remember when we were in Africa?
oh stop it please
Under Rated...uhhhhh, NO he wasn’t
Anyone can hear the fact that Robbie Krieger is a real rawk gawd on guitar but it's true that Robbie Krieger's name is rarely among the 1st ones mentioned when ppl either give their rankings for guitarists or have hypothetical player vs player battles
And songwriters too
No one at the time sounded like The Doors. They were totally unique and still are. The Doors will forever be my favorite band!
They really were originals musically and lyrically, in popular music at least.
This really showed that Jim was serious about the music. Hes not all wreckless like in the Oliver Stone movie.
He’s a complete dumbass in that movie🤣

16 years later this is still the truth
So right❤
“Don’t overblow it Jim, you got a long way to go...”

This recording session captured a truly memorable musical moment; the entire band was working as one. Very impressive.

I think he was the weak link
Nonsense 🖤
For me, the riff in Wild Child is epic. A way underrated song.
Shit man it's hard to say which is my favorite Doors release but this and Shaman's Blues, good god y'all...unleash the primal...
I'd have to agree!
It's dirty af, makes me want a cigarette. Oh yeah don't smoke kids.
the soft parade in general is underrated imo
@@stobbinsboy and people criticize the album for being "overproduced fluff", LoL. They were in top form!
I wish all of their music had been captured like this.
John Densmore is a most under rated drummer in my book he is one of the best
Dale Eloph he’s a jazz drummer that’s why
All the drummers from that time were jazz drummers ginger baker, Jon bonham, bill ward and if they didnt think they were they were influenced by jazz rudiments. The collection of the doors as musician makes the music unique and timeless
@@leemidgley8619 Charlie Watts was also a jazz drummer

Carl Palmer.
It's still hard to fathom Jim actually existed.
It is hard to believe
he existed he went to High School he was A in math and literature, his poetry teacher really approved of his genus. Best to ya.

Love this video of the doors working in the studio seeing how things got done !!!
i fucking love jim
nobody understood him in his time, even his "friends"
Ray clearly understood him. And so did Robbie and John.
Ray is the man. You can tell he's piloting this ship (band).
The Doors, the best American band period. Great band!
The flip side of "Touch Me", I'll tell you, this got played much more than the "A" side. Drawn in by Robbie's guitar sound, I didn't know much about slide playing when I was 9 but I knew what I liked!
such a great video to see them play Wild Child so perfectly. What a creative piece of art this song was.
Rimbaud of the music industry.. back than, still & forever .. no singer can or will ever match Morrison.
Wow this is history . You see it happening but it's coming from another world . Spiritual
Most definitely on an ethereal mystic plane
I love these kinds of behind the scene videos...
Yeah it makes you feel like you’re apart of the band and it adds more humanity to the music
The thing that most distinguishes The Doors from most artists is their very high I would say pure level of inspiration in composing music and lyrics that seem to come from another world, another dimension, a parallel universe. It seems that the use of psychotropic plants by these extraordinary four artists has produced the effect of receiving artistic inspiration in the form of subliminal communication or even silent knowledge, as Carlos Castaneda and Frank G. Ripel have spoken in their books. These 4 extraordinary men managed to open "The doors of perception", as Aldous Huxley says in his book of the same name and having opened them they managed "... to perceive the infinite" according to the thought of the English poet William Blake. After all, the 4 artists have repeatedly declared that during their "travels" with Peyote they have communicated with an Indian shaman and with an entity that Don Juan of Castaneda would have called "Mescalito", according to Indian tradition. In conclusion, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison are the 4 Pharaohs of human artistic history, the 4 faces of the God Janus transposed into music and constitute the 4 pyramids of music, poetry, literature and philosophy of life, in a human artistic desert in many ways disheartening when you think of today's commercial music. The Doors are a gift that the Gods of Skies wanted to give to mankind, they are a great sign of discontinuity in the history of the modern art scene. No one was like them or will be like them.
no one records like that anymore - that's when the music was honest and spontaneous
yeah..sure,you think.people on budget do.
Absolutely incredible work! My favorite piece by the Doors hands down
凄い才能のぶつかり合い‼️ジムの早世が惜しまれる。🎵🎶バンド🎸🎤🎶👌
That’s real music
First song I ever heard on the radio by The Doors was Light My Fire. Been in love ever since. This song, Light My Fire and Spanish Caravan are definitely in the top 5 for me. Never can forget The Poet
Come on people one take. Jim man what a genius to get the band around his crazy AWESOME poetry. Turn it into timeless classics.
Fantastic video.
Morrison in a studio in LA in late '68 dismantling 2000 years of Western history.
John Densmore the man with the coolest shirt in the room and a great drummer.
One if my fave B-Sides. Yes, I bought the Touch Me single...amazing band! ❤✌
Best American band of the 60s , it’s the sound of that era at say along with they four lads from Liverpool
The bass player was Doug Lubahn, that's him swigging from the coke bottle at 2.05.
@Rockshift999 I couldn't agree more man... I always say, "If i was to name but one band to be the best the world has ever seen, i would name The Doors".
They had everything, and this version of Wild Child just blows me away !
Love Jim so much always ❤️
Guess everyone has to die sometime..but today Ray's passing made me so sad..the consolation? knowing i was able to listen to The Doors when nobody would listen to me. I found strength in Jim's confidence, Ray's go for it attitude and brilliant musicianship..the world is such a lesser place without you Ray. time to kick back and join The Soft Parade
Excellent drum sound.
I remember watching this in the early 90s on VHS.
That was some classic footage thanks for putting that up there!!
The Doors wish they were still together what a great band! Rip Jim and Ray......
I love this footage of The Doors and I never thought how talented they really were in the studio and Jim Morrison was completely different than any frontman ever in rock history and I think it's just a honor to be a Long time Doors fan after my late dad did in his hey day and every night I was thinking about him because he was a fan before me because I know so
I just read John Densmores book called riders on the storm, it was really good.
Really
That was an excellent book.
That was bad ass, I've always liked the arrangement. It has been said, there are things that are known...
....and there are things that are unknown, in between....there are *The DOORS*
Only 393,223 views!! What's wrong with the world? Man, that voice was way ahead! And can't you already just about see the beard and the blues peekin' through? I want a time machine, too!
Tunes still hold up even today mr Morrison. U are an icon
Jim was perfectly imperfect, I've heard so many bad things about The Doors movie I can't even imagine how they portayed Jim's life... someday I'll make a better impowering film about the man who is an inspiration to so many. ;)
Wow,This is absolutely some of the best footage ever! Don't overblow jim you gotta long way to go,...why not?...just the expression in the cut makes me feel like i would have an idea of what it would be like to hang with morrison...its incredible the amount of communication that has to go on to record a great album,they all kill it!
Who doesn't love Jim?
The police?
Vidi decine di volte in vhs queste prove e allora come adesso mi sembrano sempre stupende!
Jim is so silly I LOVE it lol ❤️
Pioneers…my fav group to this day
This is the regular version edited to some footage, not a rare version. Though the footage might be rare.
Funny! They don't let us see the Bassplayer,he's always anonym. But on studiorecords there is a Bassguitar.Manzarek played the Bass on the Organ at the Concerts...
This is November 2019 and that bass player just died this past week, at 71 years old.
Manzeryk did all the bass tracks on the studio recordings. He was an awesome bass player. But yes live he played the bass with his left hand on lower organ
@@ericfloyd9917 No he didn't Carol Keys and Lubahn played some of them.
He’s right there at 2:07.
The best American band ever!!!
I have always liked the doors music since I was a child. At a carnival I once heard a song that blew my mind, and I knew it had to be the doors. Never forgot it. Then in high school I started becoming a doors fan. Expressing my admiration for the doors my causin told me that they are coming out with a movie about them. I was psyched. I am a musician in a very talented band. But they aren't doors fans! WTF!!!!
By the way, I discovered the song at the carnival was spanish caravan. And I ended up seeing the movie at the cinema.
An ancient lunatic reigns in the trees of the night. Yes indeed!
Comme je suis contente de voir CA. Merci ...
oh god...this music 💓
Love this its Jim and The Doors alive XXX
"With hunger at her heels!"
"Freedom in her eyes!"
Best part hearing him sing it in the begining
This is fantastic....how thay put this together...this is how great music is born....the doors are the only band could do this song....there are so many...that most people don't know or don't listen too
Okay guys it's sounding really groovy and I think we really got something happening here I dig it.
Oh, the things you can discover on Facebook. Fantastic to see the band working their magic in the studio. One thing interesting to me is how you can hear the bass player messing around before the take, so he’s there, but they don’t show him at all on camera. I guess they just wanted to feature the core members.
I never knew their guitarist was that good
I played classical guitar for 40 years after hearing the intro on Spanish Caravan. I'm not sure if Robbie played the acoustic start. Robbie was very CREATIVE, rather than fast & flashy. I've always been awestruck by all four geniuses. Morrison sent me on an insane journey through incredible literature & poetry i.e. Nietzsche, NOB Love's Body & Ferenczi's Thalassa. Can one tie Jim to Norman O. Brown, Ferenczi, Jeff Epstein as child abduction/torture provider, Mossad and MKULTRA? I suspect so. Read this wiki bio on Ferenczi, there are parallels. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1ndor_Ferenczi
There is an "official" doors channel on youtube which featrures guitar lessons with Robbie where he shows you how to play the songs. This is the Spanish Caravan one: ruclips.net/video/-CxA6Qgj7GA/видео.html
as he is on every doors song,cmon .
"Do it, Robbie, do it" - Jim in Roadhouse Blues
His Guitar Pickups can Go From Smooth To Wildly Piercing, Pardon the song Pun.... Hypnotizing Just Like a "Song Of the Sirens" Overtone
James Douglas Morrison wouldn’t be Jim if “he didn’t “overblow” it.” God bless a wild child!❤️❤️❤️
Still standing in time 2021
I love The Doors! their music will leave forever... so powerful and enigmatic... it's on my top 10 bands ever!... Jim, Ray, Robbie; i have learn tons of music from them... ok John too LOL (wild child is an awesome song too!! i have played it with full metal distortion >:)
Morrison had such a great voice, that Kurt Cobain growl and scream that is really rare
It is the Jim growl and scream...not Kurt Cobain's. I am not a fan of Kurt, but, he would be the one imitating Jim, not the other way around.
Classic song and really cool behind the scenes footage. I think this version is included on the Doors DVD that came out about twenty years ago jam packed with music videos, interviews and live performances the name of the DVD alludes me. Nothing beats playing a Doors record a d having some cold ones lose yourself in the music.
