Ironically, by being an integral member of this band, giving musical accompaniment to Jim's poetry, he helped immortalize moments in time that had Morrison not captured thru pen on paper would've been lost forever
They were a unity, they complimented each other in every aspect. Jim would never fit in any other band aswell as the other members didnt make much music after The Doors and Jims sad passing in Paris. May Jim and Ray rest in peace, their music will live forever.
The Doors was a synergy between Morrison and Manzarek. However, you could have a Doors experience only with Morrison but none without him. His voice was the embodiment of the band, unfair as it may be.
indeed.. it only took me 15yrs of electronic music production to finally being able to fully appreciate all these little details... Ive tried hitting some drums - and playing drums is faaaar more than just hitting that drum. XD Its funny - i loved this song for almost 30 yrs and it still sounds koolAF in any version possible
mcashnv - True, but not so much in this song. His master strokes are to be found in songs like LA Woman, Love Her Madly, Queen of the Highway, Peace Frog and of course Light My Fire.
Incredible. Morrison puts on a little show, then the music begins. It's hypnotic and haunting. Suddenly I don't feel at home anymore. I feel as though I'm in a studio with The Doors and it's 1971.
R Moocher You’re right late 1970 This version of Riders isn’t bad at all (unknown from me i’m on the subject since early eighties).Their Last Album LA Women went in LP stores in 1971 when Jim was in Paris.
We lived in West Hollywood as a kid I remember my mom went down to hang around. Jim invited her back to listen to daily re-plays it was the first part of December 1970. I used to hear them a lot around that time too. This is what they sounded like. They were always very cool, chill, down to earth guys.
Ray has a video explaining the process of writing Riders on the Storm and he mentions exactly that, not sure if that's where you got that from, if not you should watch the video for sure.
I wish they made an extended instrumental version complete with thunder storm that ran 40 minutes or longer. I just love falling asleep to this song. It drains away all my anxiety.
I love this completely. I love rain and thunder and I love dark skies. I love Jim's voice and his poetry. Ray Manzarek outdoes himself in this song. The separate bass was a great touch. The work on those keyboards is beyond description; it can only be experienced. This is my favorite Doors song and this version is incredible. Aaah, to be able to go back in time and sit in that room while theyre playing this !!!
@@MustangBoss1973 ah yes, the yellow and black 69 Boss 302. Owned one for over 30 years. Still dream about driving it and wake up with chills. Had Norris full race cam, crane roller rockers, one of first 500 with the cross drilled crank, .30 over fully balanced trw's, hooker headers with burned out glass pacs. My mom used to say she could hear me coming 10 minutes before I ever got there. She'd rev forever and a day...
The bass player on this album is Jerry Scheff, Elvis's bass player, the Doors always used bass players in the studio. And the second guitarist is Marc Benno, which was great the band could stretch it more. My all time favorite song is "LA Woman" It says everything about LA that needed to be said. And yeah, LA is my hometown. Another great song is "Peace Frog", from the Morrison Hotel album. And everything from the "Strange Days" album is great. In my youth in the late 60's and early 70's I always felt that the Doors were summer midnight music. Except for "Strange Days" which was obvious to me at the time as a wintertime record.
Good info. Didn't even know there was a 2nd guitarist. Just a note, many songs in the studio were organ bass but clearly a bunch of songs are bass guitar. Lonnie Mack plays the bass on Roadhouse Blues which is interesting.
When people start talking about, which band is the best the world has ever seen, i always say The Doors. It’s not because they have the absolute best songs ever, but it’s the sum of those 4 unique men. Perfection.
The Doors were the first American group, which wasn't pieced together from some previous "super group" to have a #1 hit single on their very 1st record. The 1st to stay on the top 20 for SIX MONTHS! The first American group to earn a platinum album. ALL heir studio albums went gold. There was nothing like them before, and nothing like them since. Q: Who did they sound like? A: Nobody! The Doors sounded like "The Doors". They were American Originals! So.... is everybody in?!
dave johnson Don’t let any mutants in! Hilarious! The Doors just may be the Best American Band of All Time! Proof? Their first albums a classic and their last albums a classic! How many groups can do that? Almost none!Amazing and Unreal!
dave johnson First R&R band to advertise their album on a billboard, and Jim was the first singer to be actually be arrested on stage whilst performing. Long live The Doors. The 60s had a magical quality that unfortunately went right over my head at the time because I was too young (born 1958). This version of this song is amazing.
Jerry Scheff Elvis's Base Player ROCKS THIS SESSION ! Jim couldn't believe he had Elvis's TCB BasePlayer for this WHOLE ALBUM. He Shines On LA Woman Track....Thanks Jerry !!
We can thank Ray and Densmore for their love of Jazz and its influence to the band. I’ll forever be amazed to find that out, decades after I fell for the band. I’ll listen till the day I die.
I was just posting something similar. I had their live album, which included much of the Hollywood Bowl shows, when I was in college. On the live version of “Universal Mind”, there’s the instrumental bridge with the lilting organ that I’d always thought was something they’d made up to evoke of Summer of Love. Only decades later did I find out that was John Coltrane’s “Afro Blue”. SMH
Manzarek c'est de l;a merde avec ces synthé à son de musiques de casino ....Mets un garry numan à la place de manzarek et les doors aurait été 1000 x meilleurs !
@Noel Carvajal Wrong. Jim's energy infused and infected each and every piece. If you've ever listened to the subsequent material that The Doors released without Jim, the magic is gone.
First time I discovered the Doors I didn't speak English the second time now that I'm able and the third will be to find out if the lyrics have other mining
It's crazy how the tone switched from light to dark in the studio. That is a testament of the Door's talent, rawness, and tone. It was sad when he said it will never be tape ten again like he (Jim) was going to pass away.
There were more than 1 US ship involved in the Gulf of Tonkin deception, his ship didn't "start Vietnam". The politicians who wanted war, just overblew the event, to give them what they wanted. Of note, George Morrison tried to blow the lid on the deliberate attack on the USS liberty by the Israeli air force. He wasn't the devil, just misguided to think the politicians ever cared about the truth.
Yeah when you see him in his interview about his son's life and career he comes across as a man of great decency and integrity. Both father and son were a credit to their country in different ways.
Ray said in an interview that he hated the movie guy, referring to the Oliver Stone movie, because he was always drunk or high, this is proof of Jim's joy and how others enjoyed his presence
@@josephschlichting4339 yeah it's good music and great how the director travel back the wild 60s but he did not made a good job with re-creating Jim's character
@@thebreadsam01 no, he did... He just showed an individual destructive side of Morrison that controlled the real life story to the point that Morrison made numerous enemies within the industry, almost ended his own band and brought on his own ending.
Listening in 2024 at 66 years old. I decided I'll dust off my guitar. I strummed the chords of younger days, And felt the fire in different ways. The calloused hands, they still recall, That music doesn’t age at all.

This song evokes the most incredible feelings. I first heard this song in Hollis, New Hampshire at Silver Lake Beach. I was just laying on the warm sand listening to an oldies station and this song came on. It was a perfectly sunny day and as this song came on a quick rain shower passed through with a hint of lightning. It's been my favorite song ever since and it brings me back to that special day at Silver Lake Beach
I was 17 in 1979. I was alone in town (Wolverhampton, England). I went to the Odeon cinema to see Apocalypse Now......I stayed to the end credits to see who played the opening tracks.....that’s when I heard ‘The End’....then I was hooked on the doors all my life.
a bridge between primitive minimalism and elevated,universal poetic thought - I play jazz/cocktail gigs and usually finish with Riders On the Storm which ALWAYS elicits a kind of "shock and awe" thunderous applause
The Doors literally changed the way appreciate music. My favourite band. I’m 27 but I wish I was in my 60’s/70’s remembering all the Doors concerts I was ever at. The most unique band in history. Much love
As a Doors fan, thus inevitably attached to the figure of Jim Morrison, I find it somehow moving to hear him still so involved in the music production process during a period where, according to the chronicles, he'd already gone down an apparently irreversible negative spiral.
Right, the chronicles would have us believe that by this time, Jim was Blotto drunk and dysfunctional most of his waking hours. What crap-really frustrating.
This is one of the classic songs from a really fantastic group I just love their music and followed their careers this is a superb version the Doors Music will forever live on
Robbie is playing some really cool rhythm guitar behind the keyboard solo. I don't know that I ever noticed that on the "official"version. Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
This is an awesome addition to my Sunday evening of mediocrity. This just about smacked me into a different time - decades ago when I was a college student, hauling my guitar through a stormy night after sitting through a nice long play of this tune. Rain all over. Beautiful rain. Beautiful Doors. Thanks.
@Louise X Not really.Jack Holzman,the founder of Elektra,had actually one big archive (probably,the biggest one) of special effects sounds or sounds of natural phenomena (like the thunder,in this case).He also borrowed or sold these effects or sounds to other artists in the music or even in the cinema field,so that they could use them the way they wanted.I suppose that the strange sound in the middle of "Hello,I love you" or the shot of the rifle in "Unknown Soldier" came from this archive as well.I own a book about Elektra and it was interesting to read this info.-(sorry about my bad english,it is not my mother language :))
Never in HISTORY will there be a rock band like the DOORS because we are talking about 4 guys fresh out of college without a clue to what they wanted to do in life then ONE idea pops in the fold POETRY and the rest is put together. In 1971 in heard this song in AM RADIO when it just came out in the month of AUGUST. JIM and RAY also the BAND your the BEST.
+Eric-Scott Bloom I guess you and I both heard the same thing back in that era but what I heard out of the song was a FINAL closing to a chapter and I felt something was wrong or happened.
This is absolutely fucking magical. At the Thanksgiving table, I give thanks to the Doors. I love the Doors. I love you Jim Morrison. Rest peacefully brother.
Couldn’t listen to The Doors for ten years after being Jim in a Doors tribute for ten years - (UK Doors) - till recently and it’s reminded me just how great they were. All their songs are good - hardly any groups can boast that - not even The Beatles ! Some will of course disagree - but I’m thick skinned - I can take the hits - c’maaaan !!!!!! Rxx
My best listen : August last century ,the weather was incredibly hot !! 38 degrees !! I was driving in the country listening to it ,all glasses closed ,music louder ,but with the climatisation opened wide to 20 !!! A Real real pleasure to hear the rain and Manzareck' s great feeling !!!
'81 or '82 came home drunk at 2 am during a TStorm, opened up my apartment sliding doors to the balcony, put my 100 watt stereo speakers outside and blasted this song. Woke up the other tenants and had them screaming for more. . .well at least most of them. Woke my roomies up as well and we drank into the morning while playing Doors tunes. The rental office was not happy!
Sounds like my crazy partying days in the early 80's. Not a care in the world! The only worry was when is the next party and what beer is on sale this week. My brother and I were asked to move because the new owner was not a party person and hated our acid rock. Then on to the next place until our act got old again.
That magical stormy,rainy start pulls you in & along for one sweet ride.... my favorite song ever ! I can remember the first time I heard this song... I was riding along with my sister and brother-in-law through the mountains of New Hampshire and it was a rainy,stormy day how perfect it was 😎 Thank you Jim,Ray,Robbie & John..... "THE DOORS"
This last album was better and more powerful than the first and it was done without Rothchild which shows how the band grew in talent. My fav. is Texas Radio.... great album.
Was a fan of this LP, back then ‘73. Still am, now ´24. This blend of blush and jazz throughout this song and through this whole LP, combined with the grace of Morrison and magic of Krieger / Manzarek / Densmore , just lives by
I imagine that while being interviewed an intelligent person thinks before speaking. Whereas here he's just being. . Jim. I also really appreciate how this version shows their creativity as far as the thunder sounds go. It's cool that moment being caught on tape. Also Jim's philosophical thoughts about take ten is awesome.
I wish there was an "eh" button to mark videos that you neither like or dislike but just want to mark that you have watched it so don't bother. Of course not this video.
I'm grateful to say my dad showed me this band. He was blessed to grow up with it, like with many other bands, where they were all at their highest points. Now I'm stuck with all of these really good bands and great music to watch them slowly fade away from the media to hear the fateful news *that* day. With Jim though, it wasn't the case, which is even more depressing. Long Live Morrison. Keep Mr. Mojo Risin' to the top.
Someone down the comments section said that Paul Rothchild didn't like "Riders"..He actually liked it and "L.A. Woman", but thought the other songs on the album were crap. He also was sad that Janis had died at the end of the Pearl sessions, which he produced. He left them to produce the album with Bruce Botnick. I think the album is free and loose. It's refreshing, because its not overproduced. I will always love The Doors. Who doesnt?
Pretty sure I read where he called the album bad lounge music. As much as I like it, I agree. The edge isn't the same, and that's what he hoped to preserve.
I guess you're right! I sounds like a string bass and not a piano bass like I thought, then I looks at the pics again and there is a bass player. thanks.
I can remember when I first heard this song in the 70’s. It was just simply hypnotic from start to finish! Still is all these years later! I don’t know how The Doors weren’t considered the single greatest American band of all time! But with Jim’s passing I guess too many fell to the wayside. His and their followers to me are able to see and feel they’re genius! Just love that iconic sound it’s perfection start to finish!
This song makes me want to ride my motorcycle on a dessert highway towards nowhere in particular but away from a storm hahaha. Lose your cares in the melody of this song.
"You don't make music for immortality, you make music for the moment, for capturing the sheer joy of being alive on planet earth." --Ray Manzarek.
Love this Thanks for Sharing!
Jim?
Well said
Ironically, by being an integral member of this band, giving musical accompaniment to Jim's poetry, he helped immortalize moments in time that had Morrison not captured thru pen on paper would've been lost forever
Yes he's right, but The Doors have done both. Is this music not for eternaty ?
beautiful... Jim really was lucky to have such an unbelievable band to back his poetry. Long live The Doors.
They were a unity, they complimented each other in every aspect. Jim would never fit in any other band aswell as the other members didnt make much music after The Doors and Jims sad passing in Paris. May Jim and Ray rest in peace, their music will live forever.
i agree they dont get as much credit as they should have but it is what it is
Oh yeah 🐸
Tom R Yep... But Ray and the guys were even luckier to have had a genius as their lead singer and songwriter.
word!
I just decided I'm going to listen to the doors all day.

I am 66 years old and feel myself young by hearing this music!!! Thanks for posting and like!
Music is the time machine.bless you
J’ai aussi 66 ans FRANCE et j’adore Jim Morrison et les Doors ❤️❤️❤️ cette chanson est géniale !!! J’adore et je l’écoute très souvent ...
Those were the days!
Music is a time machine, brilliant. I feel like I am in grade school when I listen to The Doors.
I was 8 in 1966 now 66 i'm stiil a young man still a dors fan peace/❤
The Doors have a sound unlike any other band ever. Instantly recognizable. I think Mamzareck's organ playing is a big part
Pink Floyd did too (; amazing unique bands!! sucks to know that music will never be as good as it was back then lol
Darrin Stinson Who’s Mamzareck?
The Doors was a synergy between Morrison and Manzarek. However, you could have a Doors experience only with Morrison but none without him. His voice was the embodiment of the band, unfair as it may be.
Nothing taken from anyone but I think Ray was the magic ingredient, listen to his interviews
I'd know that shimmering keyboard out of a sound sleep.
Densmore's drumming is so underrated. He's got such a great touch.
I notice it especially in their live recordings.
indeed.. it only took me 15yrs of electronic music production to finally being able to fully appreciate all these little details... Ive tried hitting some drums - and playing drums is faaaar more than just hitting that drum. XD Its funny - i loved this song for almost 30 yrs and it still sounds koolAF in any version possible
Densmore is a brilliant musician
he was one of the greatest. and yes underappreciated. That's just the way it goes living with that superstar Jim eh?
Some musicians just fit with certain bands.
John Bonham Perfect for Led Zeppelin
Keith Moon Perfect for The Who
John Densmore Perfect for The Doors.
John Densmore is a criminally underrated drummer
mcashnv 👍👍
No is not, he is the drummer of the DOORS!
mcashnv - True, but not so much in this song. His master strokes are to be found in songs like LA Woman, Love Her Madly, Queen of the Highway, Peace Frog and of course Light My Fire.
Jim Morrison wanted him replaced! Ray talked him out of it!
Yeah right and Jesus Christ is one of the most underrated sons of god.
Incredible. Morrison puts on a little show, then the music begins. It's hypnotic and haunting. Suddenly I don't feel at home anymore. I feel as though I'm in a studio with The Doors and it's 1971.
I totally agree with you. All the best.

Amen brother 47 and still love it.....wish I could have been born in that era and lived it...80 rocked tho
I’m 76 .....first heard them on the radio August 1967 (Light My Fire)...they made The Beatles sound like children.
Almost 52 and they are my favorite band period jimbo is my idol
A teenager? You been listening since you were in nursery school and same here! What a cool thing
I’m 61...been listening since age 8. Still enthralled with The Doors.
Ray’s keyboards is sheer genius - so understated, so tasteful, so moody.
I always liked how the piano notes run down the keyboard to mimic the sound of rain falling. Brilliant!
I thought I did
Ray has a video explaining the process of writing Riders on the Storm and he mentions exactly that, not sure if that's where you got that from, if not you should watch the video for sure.

One of the most hypnotic songs ever recorded...
It is a blessing to be able to hear this amazing music...then, and here now February 2023
You can totally tell how Ray used this take as a sketch for creating that master piece of art solo on the song. Man! we miss you Ray! ❤
Check out his post Doors song “Golden Scarab”. It’s very funky and actually describes Egyptian mythology.
È stato un grande Ray!❤

It was a perfectly sunny day and as this song came on a quick rain shower passed through with a hint of lightning. It's been my favorite song ever since and it brings me back to that special day at Silver Lake Beach
I was 17 in 1979. I was alone in town (Wolverhampton, England). I went to the Odeon cinema to see Apocalypse Now......I stayed to the end credits to see who played the opening tracks.....that’s when I heard ‘The End’....then I was hooked on the doors all my life.
a bridge between primitive minimalism and elevated,universal poetic thought - I play jazz/cocktail gigs and usually finish with Riders On the Storm which ALWAYS elicits a kind of "shock and awe" thunderous applause
Universal? Sheesh
The Doors literally changed the way appreciate music. My favourite band. I’m 27 but I wish I was in my 60’s/70’s remembering all the Doors concerts I was ever at. The most unique band in history. Much love
love just listening to bands in the studio figuring out the song an how it is going to sound or not sound on the Record...
I agree!
Hearing them talking about adding in thunder noises is just amazing
Yes soundgarden is a fun one man its awesome hesring wht they can come up with just hanging out recording
This is a great version of the song. Hell, I love everything the Doors have done.
How much would you pay to go back and sit in that studio? Priceless!
To watch Dionisys at his creative best
That is incredible ! I just had that thought myself. If I could just time travel back there and just be right in the middle of this activity. Wow !
I would sell out my SOUL out, Dude!!!
Isn't that what we just did?
Jon The big M my fucking life
Just another masterpiece for the ages. I can count myself lucky to have lived at that time to witness eternally great music.
As a Doors fan, thus inevitably attached to the figure of Jim Morrison, I find it somehow moving to hear him still so involved in the music production process during a period where, according to the chronicles, he'd already gone down an apparently irreversible negative spiral.
Right, the chronicles would have us believe that by this time, Jim was Blotto drunk and dysfunctional most of his waking hours. What crap-really frustrating.
Totally agree. Dumb gutter press point of view. Even in his last interviews he comes over as ahead of the game.
Guys like Jim are usually exactly as wasted as they wanna be.
This is one of the classic songs from a really fantastic group I just love their music and followed their careers this is a superb version the Doors Music will forever live on
The doors will ride on to eternity and their music will never die. Can we say the same about today's forgettable "music " ?. Hell no !
Robbie is playing some really cool rhythm guitar behind the keyboard solo. I don't know that I ever noticed that on the "official"version. Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
Very understated ad classy
Timeless......never get tired of listening!
never be take 10 ever again HE WAS SO RIGHT jim wherever your at I love the words you left us with
I will never stop listen to The Doors. Till the end.
My only friend the end
exactly
As Jim would say - Right On !!
This is an awesome addition to my Sunday evening of mediocrity. This just about smacked me into a different time - decades ago when I was a college student, hauling my guitar through a stormy night after sitting through a nice long play of this tune. Rain all over. Beautiful rain. Beautiful Doors. Thanks.
MB Jones Yeah man. This reminds me sundays with family all toghether watching old tv movies in Brazil. So organic and harmonic just like family.
MB Jones quit lying. Story is bland and not unique
Maximiliano Bonzon wait until Sunday then
There's Nothing mediocre about Jim Morrison. I'm sure that wasn't you're intension. He was so far ahead of his he's in this time.
Densmore and Scheff have a wonderfully consistent groove throughout this take.
Gentle, beautiful and raw.
“Hey that’s a good idea, thunder”
Andrew Sambrano xdxdxd
I know what a good idea hey let's record thunder in Arizona 😎
Like rain
@Louise X added later
@Louise X Not really.Jack Holzman,the founder of Elektra,had actually one big archive (probably,the biggest one) of special effects sounds or sounds of natural phenomena (like the thunder,in this case).He also borrowed or sold these effects or sounds to other artists in the music or even in the cinema field,so that they could use them the way they wanted.I suppose that the strange sound in the middle of "Hello,I love you" or the shot of the rifle in "Unknown Soldier" came from this archive as well.I own a book about Elektra and it was interesting to read this info.-(sorry about my bad english,it is not my mother language :))
Never in HISTORY will there be a rock band like the DOORS because we are talking about 4 guys fresh out of college without a clue to what they wanted to do in life then ONE idea pops in the fold POETRY and the rest is put together. In 1971 in heard this song in AM RADIO when it just came out in the month of AUGUST. JIM and RAY also the BAND your the BEST.
+Isaac Soriano Dale Dorman…Boston radio…AM…i was like 8, and i knew i was hearing mysticism, young genius, and quintessential fine art~E
+Eric-Scott Bloom I guess you and I both heard the same thing back in that era but what I heard out of the song was a FINAL closing to a chapter and I felt something was wrong or happened.
quite a coda
Never in history Take 10 again
and you should read the book ROTStorm about when all but Ray had to go for their draft physicals. Crazy!
Sublime vocals and exquisite music, Rays keyboard is unforgettable. What a band, glad I was around to hear them.
This is absolutely fucking magical. At the Thanksgiving table, I give thanks to the Doors. I love the Doors.
I love you Jim Morrison.
Rest peacefully brother.
Bob Barry
Never heard this before,and I've been a fan of The Doors for over 30 yrs.
Thanks man.
Liked and subbed.
Ted Ex -these are the real moments that makes the internet great.
Me too! First Doors song was this one and a year or two later, the movie came out. Love these guys..
I believe this is the last song the Doors recorded together. What a finish..........
Lets take a second and praise God for the Doors and really good WEED 🙏 Amen, Hallelujah!
P.S. Thats some really
good shit ✌
haha...can't argue with you.
Lol.
Blown away in self isolation
Couldn’t listen to The Doors for ten years after being Jim in a Doors tribute for ten years - (UK Doors) - till recently and it’s reminded me just how great they were. All their songs are good - hardly any groups can boast that - not even The Beatles ! Some will of course disagree - but I’m thick skinned - I can take the hits - c’maaaan !!!!!! Rxx
that "little ole' psychedelic band from Malibu"? it's not easy to be Jim; you'd be a good singer & good looking too.so, i'm now your friend too
“Don’t let any a, mutants in here’a”.
Jim’s the best. Dudes a crack up.
Still sends shivers down my spine. Will always love the Doors.
I am listening to them for the rest of my life. I love them! So perfect are they
My best listen : August last century ,the weather was incredibly hot !! 38 degrees !! I was driving in the country listening to it ,all glasses closed ,music louder ,but with the climatisation opened wide to 20 !!! A Real real pleasure to hear the rain and Manzareck' s great feeling !!!
'81 or '82 came home drunk at 2 am during a TStorm, opened up my apartment sliding doors to the balcony, put my 100 watt stereo speakers outside and blasted this song. Woke up the other tenants and had them screaming for more. . .well at least most of them. Woke my roomies up as well and we drank into the morning while playing Doors tunes. The rental office was not happy!
It’s interesting the way memory works.
Sounds like my crazy partying days in the early 80's. Not a care in the world! The only worry was when is the next party and what beer is on sale this week. My brother and I were asked to move because the new owner was not a party person and hated our acid rock. Then on to the next place until our act got old again.
Well done John!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!
Far superior version. So much more organic. Really draws you into the story.
Dwayne Koblitz o
Nah. The one on the album is slower and darker. I prefer that one, but this is good as well.
Both are good. This one is raw though.
Naw. Album version is more mysterious. Both cool.
Solos aren't as sure footed and memorable on this version.
That's right! No autotune, just a pure vocal, I like it 😎
That magical stormy,rainy start pulls you in & along for one sweet ride.... my favorite song ever ! I can remember the first time I heard this song... I was riding along with my sister and brother-in-law through the mountains of New Hampshire and it was a rainy,stormy day how perfect it was 😎 Thank you Jim,Ray,Robbie & John.....
"THE DOORS"
This last album was better and more powerful than the first and it was done without Rothchild which shows how the band grew in talent. My fav. is Texas Radio.... great album.
Immaculate
Frank Stoeffler The whole album smoked!
First album was great, mystical, haunting, joyful, you name it, the doors music has it all.
I have to agree L.A. Woman is a masterpiece...The album has balls of steel..
I disagree. First two albums are their best.
A big 'Yes Hi' to all everyone listening to this track today March 2020.
Ya'll be good.
The Van likewise buddy
@@ChristianW1975 It's now April and some of us are still listening.
👏🏼✌🏼😎
September 2020 The Doors still magic 50 years later ❤
"Never be take ten again"
I felt he knew he was going to die when he said that. 😞
- U damn' friggin' RIGHT!!!
we all know we are going to die
-Izzat supposed to be some sarcasm yeah? -What a sense of humor!? Terrfic really...
ARBIZA power trio "...and i hate to remind you, but you're going to die"
Was a fan of this LP, back then ‘73.
Still am, now ´24.
This blend of blush and jazz throughout this song and through this whole LP, combined with the grace of Morrison and magic of Krieger / Manzarek / Densmore , just lives by
*Never heard his voice like this. He talks a little different than he does in interviews*
*Less ghostly*
He's at ease and relaxed in the company of friends.
It's nice but I prefer the version on the album.
I imagine that while being interviewed an intelligent person thinks before speaking. Whereas here he's just being. . Jim.
I also really appreciate how this version shows their creativity as far as the thunder sounds go. It's cool that moment being caught on tape. Also Jim's philosophical thoughts about take ten is awesome.
still one of my favorite songs, I can play this song all day long
I wish there was a love button .
I wish there was an "eh" button to mark videos that you neither like or dislike but just want to mark that you have watched it so don't bother.
Of course not this video.
The most deep and meaningful comment here :)
❤️
There is, but many men have trouble finding it😂
@@amberbest6942 Poor guys
completely blown away by the quality of take 10!
I'm grateful to say my dad showed me this band. He was blessed to grow up with it, like with many other bands, where they were all at their highest points. Now I'm stuck with all of these really good bands and great music to watch them slowly fade away from the media to hear the fateful news *that* day. With Jim though, it wasn't the case, which is even more depressing. Long Live Morrison. Keep Mr. Mojo Risin' to the top.
Woowww is amazing performance.. thanks !!!!!
I just love their sound as harmonically and rhythmically monotonous as it sounds. Truly one of a kind and timeless.
Changes are kinda overrated sometimes. Groove is superior.
Girl you gotta love your man 🔥🔥🙌🏽
Someone down the comments section said that Paul Rothchild didn't like "Riders"..He actually liked it and "L.A. Woman", but thought the other songs on the album were crap. He also was sad that Janis had died at the end of the Pearl sessions, which he produced. He left them to produce the album with Bruce Botnick. I think the album is free and loose. It's refreshing, because its not overproduced. I will always love The Doors. Who doesnt?
Thomas Lehrer I think he didn’t like “love her madly”
Paul called it cocktail jazz
Thomas Lehrer I think their influence didn’t rise until the early nineties
Pretty sure I read where he called the album bad lounge music. As much as I like it, I agree. The edge isn't the same, and that's what he hoped to preserve.
@@Contact_Info Exactly,cocktail jazz were his words and he was referring to Riders On The Storm and Love Her Madly too.
Just when I think I'm out...get pulled in again
MagicRising Mr mojorising
Yep, that’s what a door does, bring access in and out.
Once you’re in, you’ll never really get out again
Hahaha. This comment is a year old and I’m dying laughing
Yes hell!
Love that bottom end. They sound great with a Bass.
rays left hand. fender piano bass.
@@kbtube8125 Actually not, Jerry Scheff played bass .
I guess you're right! I sounds like a string bass and not a piano bass like I thought, then I looks at the pics again and there is a bass player. thanks.
@@kbtube8125 cheers (:
Not Ray...Jerry Sheiff..Elvis's bass player
I can remember when I first heard this song in the 70’s. It was just simply hypnotic from start to finish! Still is all these years later! I don’t know how The Doors weren’t considered the single greatest American band of all time! But with Jim’s passing I guess too many fell to the wayside. His and their followers to me are able to see and feel they’re genius! Just love that iconic sound it’s perfection start to finish!
I am fucking stunned, i love hearing them hearing build the song together. Deciding on putting in thunder sounds.
Excellent !! Thank You Very Much Bob Barry

There will always be doors, you just have to be willing to go through them.
Il n'y a plus de magasins de bricolage aux US ??
Incredible audio! I love this! It's like you're right there with them in the studio. Thanks for posting this.
I think this is my favorite version it's raw and well it's scarier.
This song makes me want to ride my motorcycle on a dessert highway towards nowhere in particular but away from a storm hahaha. Lose your cares in the melody of this song.
Riding my BSA and hitting 4th gear and rolling
masterpiece
Keyboards and drums with Morrison's lyrics aimed this group into history. Tasty chops and feel
Let's bring Jim and Ray back. I don't care how. Just bring them back.
