In 1969 I was 14, always having lived in Liverpool, having heard the Beatles from day one of their output. I'd heard the Beach Boys, Motown, the Stones, the Who and many more justifiable legends besides. And then one night in my cousin's house I heard the album Strange Days. It knocked me into another dimension, and I'm still orbiting it as I near 70 courtesy of all their other music. The Doors were and still are phenomenal - end of!
I have loads of Scouser friends and lived in the city for a long time. I can't imagine how vibrant the scene must've been in those days. But you're right about The Doors - they are unique, no one sounds quite like them, no one has ever tried to copy them (that I'm aware of) and it would be impossible anyway. Such a unique set up instrumentally and also Jim Morrison's lyrics/poetry are on another plane. Truly a stand-out in rock and roll history. Jim Morrison inspired so many with his stage persona too, namely Iggy Pop I think who also carved out a niche with The Stooges and then his solo stuff, working with Bowie. Iggy's collection of stuff is where you'll find something which sounds closest to The Doors but still not quite.
I'm born and raised in LA and I've been to many of the Doors' old haunts, over the year. The clubs they played at in the 60s are still open on sunset Blvd, like the Whiskey, etc.. Riders on the Storm is awesome. Perfect for driving down pacific coast highway late at night.. SoCal in the 70s being the world capital of "killers on the road" lol @46:10 is the best part
Good for you. The Doors are exceptional and I think don't get the cred they deserve. And its always good to educate the young'uns about the history of modern music.
I specifically remember rockin out to L.A.Woman @ a party in my Green Mountain,Co.10th story apartment. Early 70's. 72 now & still LOVE the Doors. ☮️✌️
I received this album in vinyl form from a previous roommate and friend several years ago. He said he found it thrifting for under a dollar years prior and he was ready to part with it. I liked it a lot and after owning it for a couple of years I began to dive deeper into live recordings, reading numerous books on Jim Morrison and The Doors- I was so intrigued and pleasured with what I continued to find! In 2016 I got hit on the shoulder of the road as I was pulled over to send a text message. Traumatic brain injury, hemorrhaging of the brain and a week long coma. My short memory was suddenly so poor afterwards and it was so difficult to remember what I was doing at any time. I began to dive back into the doors and An American Prayer specifically- listening to all of it every day until I had every lyric instilled within me. It helped me so much in my recovery and still does to this day and now I wear MR MOJO RISIN tattooed on my arm. A groovy anagram. I hope I can thank Jim one day- and the rest of the members for what they gave me. X
Had a very similar experience some years ago.... Maybe 20, not sure. Bike accident, van pulled across the road, I hit the side. Neck, collar bone, a few ribs, nerve damage, brain injury... Memory.. Blah blah blah... You get the point. This very album triggers memories of before that day. (I think). Maybe memories of the past are mixed with perceptions, but they're still representative of who or what you are and where you're from. Hope you're having a good day, no matter the situation your taste in music is exceptional.
✨ That's an amazing story to what was an horrific experience. I'm glad you've come through it as well as you have - long may your recovery continue so well. Iv said for years, having being diagnosed with chronic depression & manic-depression (bi-polar, it's called today), iv been on every drug & combination of pharmaceuticals, THE ONLY THING THAT HAD A POSITIVE AFFECT ON ME WAS *MUSIC* ! By a long, long way & I'd recommend it to anyone being put on antidepressants, SSRI's in particular to try what worked for me cus it did work. Find the music that lifts your soul & you will feel the benefit without all the nasty side affects.
Recorded December 1970--January 1971, released April 19, 1971. I was a junior in high school. Sadly, on July 3, 1971 Jim Morrison left this world for the giant gig in the heavens. Tons of great music back then, almost too much to listen to. Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, CSN, Grand Funk, America, Pink Floyd, the list goes on and on and on....................
Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ELP, Steppenwolf, Chicago (the early stuff), Yes, Cream, ACDC (the Bon Scott years), The Who, The Stones, those guys from Liverpool...
I was visiting relatives around '81. One night I went for a drive to see L.A.. With LA Woman blaring through the sound system I had as close to a religious experience that I have ever had. THANK YOU Jim, Robbie, John, and Ray!
Happy 51 anniversary LA Woman!!!!!! I love all the songs of this album sooo much.... The doors are one of the best groups of all the time..... I love them......
Totally agree. The Doors are easily one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. L.A. Woman is a great album and an all time classic. From 1967-1971 The Doors released 6 studio albums, all of which are all time classic albums. For a band to release that many albums of such high quality during such a relatively short period of time (4 years) is remarkable.
My mom blasted this every day from the night I was conceived until the day I was born - she even went into labor with this record crankin'!! Now I'm 3 months old and have been listening steady Every. Single. Day. I've got the coolest mom EVER! Thanks, mom.
Absolutely. It flows seamlessly from one track to the next, capturing something dark, mysterious and even romantic through the strange arrangements and of course Jim Morrison's lyrics and poetry. Pretty much a perfect album. It speaks of the pain of lost love too, which is great listening when going through a breakup.
I am 14 and play lots of guitar and finally got around to this one. My father is the person who got me into the doors, and LA Woman is his favorite rock and roll song. I play the guitar while he sings. Lots of fun. Sky above, voice within
This just may be the best rock album of all times..it has it all..driving beat,excellent keyboards, killer guitar, bass..lol..best vocalist you could ever hope for in a band !!. Bluesy rock 👍👍

A part une présence ponctuelle de Jerry Scheff, il n'y a pas de bassiste chez les Doors !
I bought the Door's very first album, on VINY when I was 13, and played it non-stop. They came in and went out on a high note, and never produced a bad or even mediocre album. So many great songs I'm still listening to in 2024 at 71, and they sound just as fresh today as they did in the late 60s and early 70s. When all the Billie Eilishes and Miley Cyruses will be long forgotten, people will still be listening, discovering and grooving on the Doors in 100 years from now.
@@thomaslafore-doc8992 No. It wasn' t as strong as "LA WOMAN" an I didn't like the song itself, it was one of their weakest and clearly thrown together from pieces of other songs, but outside of the song, the album had several tracks I really liked; "Tell All the People", "Touch Me", "Wild Chile" and "Runnin' Blue" and "Wishful Sinful" were all really solid. Some people didn't like the Brass arrangements and that's okay, people will never agree on every single track,. Some fans loved 'Morrison Hotel', but I don't like the Blues and too much of that album was Blues oriented for me, but hey, to each their own.
I was 11 when this album came out. I can still remember my cousin playing it over and over again in the summer of '71. It's a masterpiece that sounds as great today as it did back then.
One of the greatest albums ever. What a classic to go out on!! The Doors or a band like them could never happen in modern America or music ever again. The end of the western dream!! The musical vibrations will continue to play on into eternity. God bless you Ray and Jim.🙏❤️🎼.x
it was a unique period.... in a kind of different way, I think rem pulled that off too.... it could happen again, if gen z gets a stronger hunger for uncontrived & unbridled music w/ something to say.
FUN FACT: Paul Rothchild who produced all 5 studio albums prior to L A Woman, began producing this album and got 3 tracks down including "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm", but quit after they recorded "Love Her Madly", hating the song, calling it "cocktail music". Engineer Bruce Botnik took over and the rest is Doors history.
I'm glad he got of the album... love her madly is one of jims best songs .... Fuck that Ro thsc.h!ld bitch its all in the name baby , why does certain rich aristocratic people have control over the music industry... Music should be for the people creating it ! Not the fucking labels and individuals from. Certain labels deciding the fate of collective consciousness musics tastes and vibes.. Peace and love people keep on rocking on that midnight train !!!!
The Doors had Jerry Scheff,Elvis's bass player on this album save for L'America. I feel he really adds something to the Doors sound. Lots of catchy and inventive playing.
Don't live with your eyes closed, my friend! There is still great music out there being made, and there's still great people out there to meet. I've only been alive 30 years, but It's long enough to know that not everything's long gone.
La musique des 70’s était super, les doors en particulier mais pas que… mais, les années 90 ont été bien meilleures avec des putains de groupes de rock, qui ne sauront jamais faire mieux aujourd hui en 2024. Vive la musique d avant, la musique des vieux.
If there could have been another American band as great as these guys - our CIA cultural controll freaks took them out, with a few drips of posin, just like a man who was there in the bar in Pairs in '71 told me they did to Jim.
I didn’t even have pubes when this came out. I still realized it was badass, I kept stealing my older brother’s copy. I mean, what other band would have recorded “I’m the crawling king snake”?
The Doors laid down a foundation of creative, original and trendsetting music in just 5 short years. They created a wall of sound for just 4 members and no bass player. Ray's signature organ, Robby's free flowing fingers and slide guitar, John's jazzy and influential back beats and Jim's smooth baritone voice, compelling lyrics, poetry and hypnotic presence brought on a whole new dynamic for a frontman. Their music will live on for eternity and their legacy etched into people's minds forever ✌🏼❤
Wrong. They had bass players. A few of them. In particular, this album. Jerry Scheff practically became the fifth Door. Jim wanted him there, with passion.
I think this is the best Doors album. That's not because it is their best work ever, but because recording technology had advanced quite a bit in the short years between the first album and this one. It's got more tracks, and is dialed in better than earlier records. There is not a bad Doors album. They're all worth a listen. This one is the best sounding, and given that it's the last one with Jim, it's his farewell.
How fitting that Jim's ghostly vocals heard near the end are the last he recorded before leaving for Paris with his girlfriend, Pamela and an ill-fated rendezvous with death....spooky shit, man.
agree.... the album is sprinkled w/ foreshadowing lines throughout at least 6-7 songs. its almost as either morrison calculated his exit (its interesting the other band members didnt know he was going to paris, until a week or so before he did) or he was tapped into some deeper premonition imagary coming thru from the other side. he wasnt as ungodly as most seem to think. most poets arent, just overwhelmed at times w/ what they see.
@@gavin4848 dude was psychic....he saw it coming. It seems ridiculous at first, but look where they found him. Bathroom....someone following him? Likely had his phones tapped also.
My very favourite Doors song is Touch Me. I don’t think I’ve ever quite recovered from being a teenager and seeing Jim et al. on the Ed Sullivan show. Still takes my breath away thinking about it. My mother was made to watch and listen too as she walked about tidying up. Bet she was as impressed as I was.
I listened to it for the first time in eons and when "Changeling" came on--wow what an intro song! I used to have issues with "L'America" and "Hiyacinth House" though, but I'm finding through more listenings they are growing on me. The rest of the album has always been straight up phenomenal! What a band!
It was springtime '71 and the release of this album created a huge buzz in our high school. I remember many discussions about it in my homeroom class. The rounded corners of the album cover generated a lot of comment. No one had ever seen an album cover shaped like that before. At the time, it was considered almost as revolutionary as the Sergeant Pepper album cover. With Love Her Madly rising up the charts and summer break about to begin, it was a heady time for fans of the 'Doors. Then a few weeks later, we got the news from Paris... I blame it all on L'America and it's so-called justice system for hounding Jim into fleeing the country. He didn't do anything in Miami that warranted the way that they persecuted him. Once he was in Paris, he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He either scored some bad dope or snorted some.of Pam's that he mistakenly thought was coke. He probably never would have went to Paris if it wasn't for the government's prosecution of him.
I remember in 1972, when I was 6,my brother Barry Parsons playing it He was 16,then He passed away July 19,2019, was63,sure miss him,we liked the same music
This comment is amazing because you are correct and to know so much about the details is a sign of hope for me I agree with everything you said. I will add that Pam was with a Prince in Paris who was the kingpin of 'white China' so the H looked a lot like C. On an OD from H - you put the person in a cold bath to help. As Jim was found. No pictures or police investigation . Burried before anyone could see him. Insane, it's Jimbo!!! Aneay, the Princed covered it up, dropped Pam like someday cigarette... she lost everything cause she was dumb and an addict more than a drug user. She became a crackwhore, literally six for hits. Gross She died a few years later, so she took the truth with her. She never did anything to help Jim. He loved her beauty and demanding attitude unfortunately
@@lisaparsons4124 - Thanks for sharing that memory of your brother. My brother passed away in 1993 and he was a very good guitarist. I have lots of music related memories of him.
After hearing other remasters of this album the 1999, 2007, 1993 DCC Steve Hoffman, 2000/2007 stereo and 5.1 Remix i didn't think this album could sound any better. With this remaster the instruments are better separated and you can hear more clarity in the recordings. Great job Bruce!
This album proved The Doors still had a ton left in the tank. Had Jim lived, I think Scheff/Beno would’ve become regular players in the band and they would’ve toured with them, possibly making more albums too. Think of the live Doors show that could’ve been with a beefed up sound and a more sober Jim. Wasn’t meant to be. But this album JAMS.
I'm not sure about Scheff, cause he was touring with Elvis regularly, but Benno could've been a full-time member for sure. I always felt a little bit sorry for him, he never got the acknowledgement he deserved for. He was a great guitar player and not bad songwriter too.
I saw Cage The Elephant during their Tell Me I'm Pretty Tour after Melaphobia and it was like seeing The Doors. The lead singer had unbelievable energy and stage presence. It was a truly incredible show.
Favorite album of all time. Been down so long so underrated. Hyacinth House, crawling king snake, Texas radio and the Big Beat, and Riders on the Storm to close it off. Listen from top to bottom just about every time. Lamerica is only one i ever skip, sometimes. Remember you used to lie in the basement with the lights off and just listen to this album.
Oh, hey, what a coincidence. I recognize you from your comment on station to station. Just wanted to tell you because it's the first time it has happened to me, recognizing someone. Also, you have great music taste.
Yep, they're very tight and confident here. It's too bad that Jim would be gone so soon after - if he had taken a one-year break and then returned to the band, what would their next album have sounded like?
@@paulblakey4589 well Paul I have a little story for you, this album was recorded in an apartment, I can't remember if it was a band members apartment or not but either way Jim's vocal booth was the bathroom wich was tiny and helped create the unique vocal sound you here in this album. This album was never played live as a foursome as Jim immediately left for Paris after it was recorded and died 6 months later. Riders on the storm wasnt played live until 2004 when Ray manzarek and robby kreiger toured as "The Doors of the 21st century".

This was a special time and one that will never be repeated. Such good memories back then. I really feel sorry for the kids these days what they are going to inherit won't be much.
When ever I get asked the question, who’s the best band? I always say the Doors. I always get the reaction like I’m just a fan boy. Musically they are so prolific. They hit so many styles blues, jazz, classical pop, And sound %100 original.
BRAVO. A " TRUE, RARE FAN".MY SAGA= PULLED INTO THE " LIZARD KING'S" WORLD IN 1963. DUBBED "LIZARD KING" IN HIGH SCHOOL BANDS,CAUGHT "4" CONCERTS(TWICE SAME NIGHT AT "THE GARDEN"(JANIS PLAYED MAIN MADISON S.G.,ALONG SIDE "WINTER GARDEN " , DOORS IN "WINTER GARDEN". SPECIAL TIMES,RODE SUBWAY LATE TO BAYSIDE, QUEENS, TO MY CAR, NO ONE BOTHERED A LONG HAIRED SEMI-HIPPIE. CRIED JULY 4TH, 1971, AT "LADY DIANE'S PLACE UPON HEARING THE TRAGIC NEWS. SHE MAY NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD, YET SHE WAS COMPASSIONATE. THE MUSIC WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTERWARDS, NO MATTER HOW MANY GREAT GROUPS DEVELOPED.STILL JAM ALONG TO "THE DOORS". R.I.P JIM & RAY.
Man ! LA WOMAN is also the very 1st album I bought , I was 14 years old and walked 7 miles round trip to buy it with my money I earned delivering newspapers. The year was 1980 and I bought it on 8 track . Played it constantly on my parent console stereo that was as big as a triple dresser. God I miss those days…
I was 8 years old when this album came out. My parents played it over and over. Every beat, riff, and vocal will be stuck in my head till I die. ABSOLUT CLASSIC!!!
@@randstadwoodbury7171 Hmm,that album had a top 20 hit,"Tightrope Ride",n they released the album "Full Circle"after that.Besides, Krieger wrote "Light my Fire","Love me two times" n "Love her Madly"among others,which we're they're best selling singles. . .
I've been listening to this band since I was a teen. Whenever I am sad, or angry, or mad about something, They are THE medicine for my soul love The Lizard King ❤️❤️❤️
I agree. I am only 37 but I feel like The Doors have aged like a fine wine. Still feels as raw and exciting to me as I assume it felt when it was first released.
That's because they are very well written songs with sounds that weren't particularly en vouge, but that sounded good to the ears of the people using them.
The part in L.A. Woman when they finally come back around to revisit the first verse after the long build up has to be the most exhilarating resolution in the history of rock and roll music. Just pure energy and satisfaction. Absolutely incredible.

I have doubts there's going to be another 100 years.... certainly not for the U.S. Constitution & it being upheld, but even for mankind... The end of days will arise, & Jesus Christ will appear again to judge the living & the dead. Am I ready? Salvation-wise, yes. Prepared to give an account of myself without shame? Nope, doubtful.
The Doors No dejará de ser una de las mejores bandas de Rock. La voz y la personalidad de Jim llevaron a The Doors a convertirse en eso la mejor Banda de Rock. Su poesía en la música sólo un genio la podía hacer complementada con un toque de jazz, rock y blues qué más puedes pedir una buena copa y transportarte a algo inimaginable. The Doors es mi número 👍
The Doors es duda, una de las 5 mejores bandas del rock de todos los tiempos... Gracias por la música muchachos!!! Gracias Jim por la voz y el carisma!!! Este álbum fue una gran despedida... aunque siempre, como si pudiera ocurrir un milagro, estamos esperando más. Doors forever... and in my heart!!! ❤️🤩❤️ 🎄
Said this in another thread, so apologies for plagiarizing myself, but: The Doors are not "the greatest band of their time," as so many wld have it. They are timeless, they are for all times. As we still listen to Bach and Beethoven 200 & 300 years on, our great-grandchildren's great-grandchildren will be listening to The Doors.
There is so much good music out there I can catch enough. I only have thousands of vinyl albums and that's not enough. I never listened to RUclips until 2 years ago. I always played my technics stereo equipment with six feet tall speakers. I still like to play my stereo loud to shake me and feel good when I wake up and crawl out of bed. The Doors is good Blues to. I only play what sounds good to me.
It was the first LP by a major band I've ever fell in love with. I guess I was about 11-12 when I first heard it. It's not very heavy, but it's rockin', very melodic, but not silly, not very complicated, but lyrics sure have some deep meaning in it. I'm 19 now, and after all of these years It's still one of my favourite albums of all time. IMO it's an ideal blues-rock, south Californian music album. Everything about this album is good. Even the album cover. Fantastic.
I guess I was 15 when this came out. I had no interest in 50 year old music at that time. You are not alone in liking this. A lot of youngsters seem to be interested in real music.
I don't remember a time when I didn't hear the Doors but when i first heard LA Woman i was 18yrs old in 1982 in a real dive bar in N.Ireland. this bar 'LaCave' ,now gone, was usually frequented by rough types, sailors, ladies of the night and total music heads. The barman was great you could request him to play a whole LP Record when he saw how much this kid loved LA Woman he played it all night. I have ever since been hooked on the Doors. When I've visited LA I've always tried to visit their old haunts i'm still in love with them & their music there's never been anything like them, they're stoned immaculate
Thank you so much for uploading the full album, guys! This is how every channel's band should be dude, uploading all their music for everyone to listen, not like some other family I know (Cough, HENDRIX STATE, cough)
@@isobello_banana I mean, the official stuff is all there, all the songs, but yeah, other stuff like concerts, bootlegs, different fanmade mixes not :(
Jim was tripin in them days. I graduated High School high on Jim's Music... Class of 1969 Mesmerizing spiritual vibes.... Serpents..., I am all in. It's a long story.
Every time I hear RIDERS on the STORM I think of driving my 71 torino at night, with dashboard lights glowing green. It's a memory of an actual moment that just stuck. I am very happy that it did.
Riders On The Strom was played quite a bit by a lot of FM rock radio stations when a thunderstorm was in the area. I am sure we all have great memories of driving during a Thunderstorm listening to The Doors Riders On The Storm. I know I have a few myself.
Dionysus is the God of insanity, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre. And the soundtrack to all this ritual madness was brilliantly crafted by The Doors. The one and only The Doors
Wow..I had to check to make sure this isnt a greatest hits album!!..every song is unique in its own way..riders on the storm is so awesome it deserves to be an album of it's own..both sides filled with riders on the storm extended to fill the whole album..🤘🤘
Memories of being 16 and listening to LA Woman in my friend’s car, late night on the weekend after partying all night, maybe a bit stoned, out in the sticks of Virginia, and just letting the music envelope us. Miss those times.
Also memories from a car, being 20, road trip with 3 friends in the Netherlands and England and this album. Me wanted to hear Riders on the storm, all the time. Now I am the only person left, listening to Riders in the storm.
Merci pour ce remastered de qualité. Quel sonorisation exceptionnel, c'est un véritable plaisir. Merci de continuer à perpétuer la légende qu'est devenue votre groupe de musique! Vive ❤The Doors❤ pour toujours!!! ☮️☮️☮️
You don’t regret now When a band is formed of all great musicians who meat at the right time right place and delivered us such great tunes we still listen to now It’s a shame what’s out there now Although there is good music you just have to hope the algorithm is in your favour I went on holiday with my parents when I was 13 and I took one tape that’s right a cassette it had brake on through It was on repeat for 10 days in my little hotel room I would leave it on even when we went out Maybe hoping to catch a like minded friend Love yourself not once but twice today people
I was a youngster when this album came out but when I was a teenager and still I simply love the DOORS! But not l.s.d. anymore.. perhaps some shrooms once in awhile 😂

In 1969 I was 14, always having lived in Liverpool, having heard the Beatles from day one of their output. I'd heard the Beach Boys, Motown, the Stones, the Who and many more justifiable legends besides. And then one night in my cousin's house I heard the album Strange Days. It knocked me into another dimension, and I'm still orbiting it as I near 70 courtesy of all their other music. The Doors were and still are phenomenal - end of!
all of those bands are good, gotta love the classics
I agree🎉🎉
I have loads of Scouser friends and lived in the city for a long time. I can't imagine how vibrant the scene must've been in those days. But you're right about The Doors - they are unique, no one sounds quite like them, no one has ever tried to copy them (that I'm aware of) and it would be impossible anyway. Such a unique set up instrumentally and also Jim Morrison's lyrics/poetry are on another plane. Truly a stand-out in rock and roll history. Jim Morrison inspired so many with his stage persona too, namely Iggy Pop I think who also carved out a niche with The Stooges and then his solo stuff, working with Bowie. Iggy's collection of stuff is where you'll find something which sounds closest to The Doors but still not quite.
I'm born and raised in LA and I've been to many of the Doors' old haunts, over the year. The clubs they played at in the 60s are still
open on sunset Blvd, like the
Whiskey, etc..
Riders on the Storm is awesome. Perfect for driving down pacific coast highway late at night.. SoCal in the 70s being the world capital of "killers on the road" lol
@46:10 is the best part
I never cared for The Beatles. Not my kind of music I guess......
I am over 60 years old and still listening and loving the Doors. Getting my 12 year old Grandson into the Doors now!
Go to bed gramps
@@poppaboppa6000 drink some milk fool let the man chill
Good for you. The Doors are exceptional and I think don't get the cred they deserve. And its always good to educate the young'uns about the history of modern music.
The Doors will never get old.
Me too I am 61 tomorrow. Jim lives
Perfect from start to finish, not a single second wasted on this album.
I specifically remember rockin out to L.A.Woman @ a party in my Green Mountain,Co.10th story apartment. Early 70's. 72 now & still LOVE the Doors. ☮️✌️
Nobody sounds like The Doors... And nobody ever will. Just them. A Poet, a Jazz drummer, a classical guitarist and the Glue. Thank you Mr.Manzarek
And glue? Are you saying they all sniffed glue?
see nadie superara a the doors son unicos"the lizard king" jim siempre estaras!!!!
Flamenco and early jazz guitar 🎸
Ray Manzarek, the 75% of The Doors
@@mrj2654No. Manzarek, the keyboard player is the glue. He functioned as keyboard, sometimes bass, and the rhythm guitar.
I received this album in vinyl form from a previous roommate and friend several years ago. He said he found it thrifting for under a dollar years prior and he was ready to part with it. I liked it a lot and after owning it for a couple of years I began to dive deeper into live recordings, reading numerous books on Jim Morrison and The Doors- I was so intrigued and pleasured with what I continued to find!
In 2016 I got hit on the shoulder of the road as I was pulled over to send a text message. Traumatic brain injury, hemorrhaging of the brain and a week long coma. My short memory was suddenly so poor afterwards and it was so difficult to remember what I was doing at any time. I began to dive back into the doors and An American Prayer specifically- listening to all of it every day until I had every lyric instilled within me. It helped me so much in my recovery and still does to this day and now I wear MR MOJO RISIN tattooed on my arm. A groovy anagram. I hope I can thank Jim one day- and the rest of the members for what they gave me. X
God has already blessed you. You are a beautiful person, and this 65 year old's eyes are cloudy now.
Keep jamming love this LP. I'm an artist. I don't understand people that don't think music is a blessing. It helps my Sobriety.
God bless.😊
Had a very similar experience some years ago.... Maybe 20, not sure. Bike accident, van pulled across the road, I hit the side. Neck, collar bone, a few ribs, nerve damage, brain injury... Memory.. Blah blah blah... You get the point. This very album triggers memories of before that day. (I think). Maybe memories of the past are mixed with perceptions, but they're still representative of who or what you are and where you're from. Hope you're having a good day, no matter the situation your taste in music is exceptional.
✨ That's an amazing story to what was an horrific experience. I'm glad you've come through it as well as you have - long may your recovery continue so well. Iv said for years, having being diagnosed with chronic depression & manic-depression (bi-polar, it's called today), iv been on every drug & combination of pharmaceuticals, THE ONLY THING THAT HAD A POSITIVE AFFECT ON ME WAS *MUSIC* ! By a long, long way & I'd recommend it to anyone being put on antidepressants, SSRI's in particular to try what worked for me cus it did work. Find the music that lifts your soul & you will feel the benefit without all the nasty side affects.
Under different circumstances I received a traumatic brain injury.
It takes time am healing tho .
Good story friend
Recorded December 1970--January 1971, released April 19, 1971. I was a junior in high school. Sadly, on July 3, 1971 Jim Morrison left this world for the giant gig in the heavens. Tons of great music back then, almost too much to listen to. Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, CSN, Grand Funk, America, Pink Floyd, the list goes on and on and on....................
F......n A!! Unbelievable!!
Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ELP, Steppenwolf, Chicago (the early stuff), Yes, Cream, ACDC (the Bon Scott years), The Who, The Stones, those guys from Liverpool...
Never forget blue cheer babyyy
Free,Humble Pie,Procol Harum,Johnny Winter, Three Dog Night, Elton John,Joni Mitchell,Rod Stewart, The Guess Who, Taste(Rory Gallagher),The James Gang,Badfinger, Blood Sweat and Tears,The Osmond Brothers (just kidding, juuust kidding)
preach brother!
a great way to end hte night w the best organ solo ever... gnight youtubes.
I was visiting relatives around '81. One night I went for a drive to see L.A.. With LA Woman blaring through the sound system I had as close to a religious experience that I have ever had. THANK YOU Jim, Robbie, John, and Ray!
A great thanks to mom. She made my musical education. She used to listen to this album when I was young.
🫡
Happy 51 anniversary LA Woman!!!!!! I love all the songs of this album sooo much.... The doors are one of the best groups of all the time..... I love them......
Totally agree. The Doors are easily one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. L.A. Woman is a great album and an all time classic. From 1967-1971 The Doors released 6 studio albums, all of which are all time classic albums. For a band to release that many albums of such high quality during such a relatively short period of time (4 years) is remarkable.
2024
My mom blasted this every day from the night I was conceived until the day I was born - she even went into labor with this record crankin'!! Now I'm 3 months old and have been listening steady Every. Single. Day. I've got the coolest mom EVER! Thanks, mom.
One of the greatest albums ever made.
Absolutely. It flows seamlessly from one track to the next, capturing something dark, mysterious and even romantic through the strange arrangements and of course Jim Morrison's lyrics and poetry. Pretty much a perfect album. It speaks of the pain of lost love too, which is great listening when going through a breakup.
Certainly 😊
Awesome group
Undeniable.
Excelente..me encanta
I'm 54 and I will never stop listening to one of my favorite songs and band the doors.... thanks for the great memories.
Yes Doors a awesome group,I'm 58, I remember in the 70s when I was a kid
I am 66 and I remember The Doors from the 60's. ✌
Never Ages ,,,, The Best in the West as Day one

I am 14 and play lots of guitar and finally got around to this one. My father is the person who got me into the doors, and LA Woman is his favorite rock and roll song. I play the guitar while he sings. Lots of fun. Sky above, voice within

lucky bastard. Wish I had been born in 1935. 30 years old in 1965 was about peak Americana.
I always wait for Ray's keyboard on 'Love he Madly". He was spot on with that song! :)
This just may be the best rock album of all times..it has it all..driving beat,excellent keyboards, killer guitar, bass..lol..best vocalist you could ever hope for in a band !!. Bluesy rock 👍👍
A part une présence ponctuelle de Jerry Scheff, il n'y a pas de bassiste chez les Doors !
Up there with Physical Graffiti and Wish you were here
An understatement This the best Rock Album of all time Sorry Zep I might have too Digress ; ) 👍
I bought the Door's very first album, on VINY when I was 13, and played it non-stop.
They came in and went out on a high note, and never produced a bad or even mediocre album.
So many great songs I'm still listening to in 2024 at 71, and they sound
just as fresh today as they did in the late 60s and early 70s.
When all the Billie Eilishes and Miley Cyruses will be long forgotten, people will
still be listening, discovering and grooving on the Doors in 100 years from now.
I agree. I'm a year behind ya...
L'America reminds me of some of Dead Can Dance vocals. Just saying since they came after the Doors.
you don't think soft parade was mediocre?
@@thomaslafore-doc8992 No. It wasn' t as strong as "LA WOMAN" an I didn't like the song itself, it was one of their weakest and clearly thrown together from pieces of other songs, but outside of the song, the album had several tracks I really liked; "Tell All the People", "Touch Me", "Wild Chile" and "Runnin' Blue" and "Wishful Sinful" were all really solid.
Some people didn't like the Brass arrangements and that's okay, people will never agree on every single track,. Some fans loved 'Morrison Hotel', but I don't like the Blues and too much of that album was Blues oriented for me, but hey, to each their own.
I was 11 when this album came out. I can still remember my cousin playing it over and over again in the summer of '71. It's a masterpiece that sounds as great today as it did back then.

One of the greatest albums ever. What a classic to go out on!! The Doors or a band like them could never happen in modern America or music ever again. The end of the western dream!! The musical vibrations will continue to play on into eternity. God bless you Ray and Jim.🙏❤️🎼.x
it was a unique period.... in a kind of different way, I think rem pulled that off too.... it could happen again, if gen z gets a stronger hunger for uncontrived & unbridled music w/ something to say.
I think Nirvana was doing something like this. But still can't compare to the impact of The Doors
@@kelvinkloud This! Gen Z is not only hungry as fuck. but our future.
@@twoforever1 Gen Z lowest iq gen even by conventional standards
@@pappypap Really? I guess i need to get out more. I think millennials are more self absorbed though.
FUN FACT: Paul Rothchild who produced all 5 studio albums prior to L A Woman, began producing this album and got 3 tracks down including "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm", but quit after they recorded "Love Her Madly", hating the song, calling it "cocktail music". Engineer Bruce Botnik took over and the rest is Doors history.
Thats a shame those songs are all iconic
I'm glad he got of the album... love her madly is one of jims best songs ....
Fuck that Ro thsc.h!ld bitch its all in the name baby , why does certain rich aristocratic people have control over the music industry...

What meaning of Cocktail Music?
The Doors had Jerry Scheff,Elvis's bass player on this album save for L'America. I feel he really adds something to the Doors sound. Lots of catchy and inventive playing.
So lucky I was in my teens in the 70's. The music was never better and hasn't been since. Not just the Doors. Everybody.
Don't live with your eyes closed, my friend! There is still great music out there being made, and there's still great people out there to meet. I've only been alive 30 years, but It's long enough to know that not everything's long gone.
That's your story and I'm sticking to it! 😎
You got to keep believing...
La musique des 70’s était super, les doors en particulier mais pas que… mais, les années 90 ont été bien meilleures avec des putains de groupes de rock, qui ne sauront jamais faire mieux aujourd hui en 2024. Vive la musique d avant, la musique des vieux.
@@Thibault-m5b μιληστε κανα αγγλικο ρε γαλλοι τοπικιστες κουρασατε
If there could have been another American band as great as these guys - our CIA cultural controll freaks took them out, with a few drips of posin, just like a man who was there in the bar in Pairs in '71 told me they did to Jim.
"Cars Hiss By My Window".... such a great bluesy track....
it is in fact blues
Bought the vinyl at Uni. 50 years later - still listening!
I didn’t even have pubes when this came out. I still realized it was badass, I kept stealing my older brother’s copy. I mean, what other band would have recorded “I’m the crawling king snake”?
L'America. A "throwback", if you will, to their previous psychedelic albums. Very underated song.
Yeah, it sounds like it would be part of that Strange Days album
agree 100%
Only one Jim
because then they could afford someone to tune their instruments. that song is brutal.
Underrated by who?
Cars Hiss by My Window. Forever a favourite. Hauntingly prophetic.
The Doors laid down a foundation of creative, original and trendsetting music in just 5 short years. They created a wall of sound for just 4 members and no bass player. Ray's signature organ, Robby's free flowing fingers and slide guitar, John's jazzy and influential back beats and Jim's smooth baritone voice, compelling lyrics, poetry and hypnotic presence brought on a whole new dynamic for a frontman. Their music will live on for eternity and their legacy etched into people's minds forever ✌🏼❤
Wrong. They had bass players. A few of them. In particular, this album. Jerry Scheff practically became the fifth Door. Jim wanted him there, with passion.
There is such a special place in my heart for the Doors.
BUT I NEVER BIN SO BROKE DAT I COULDN'T LEAVE TOWN
@@theredseventhousanda fellow Irishman are ya?

Same my dude, nothing but love for The Doors.
I think this is the best Doors album. That's not because it is their best work ever, but because recording technology had advanced quite a bit in the short years between the first album and this one. It's got more tracks, and is dialed in better than earlier records.
There is not a bad Doors album. They're all worth a listen. This one is the best sounding, and given that it's the last one with Jim, it's his farewell.
Strange Days
Ok..you think?...i was there!
*Cars Hiss By My Window* has the greatest guitar work ever💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Borrowed from Jimmy Reed though.
How fitting that Jim's ghostly vocals heard near the end are the last he recorded before leaving for Paris with his girlfriend, Pamela and an ill-fated rendezvous with death....spooky shit, man.
agree.... the album is sprinkled w/ foreshadowing lines throughout at least 6-7 songs. its almost as either morrison calculated his exit (its interesting the other band members didnt know he was going to paris, until a week or so before he did) or he was tapped into some deeper premonition imagary coming thru from the other side. he wasnt as ungodly as most seem to think. most poets arent, just overwhelmed at times w/ what they see.
"I see the bathroom is clear' 'I feel that someone's watching me?' Paranoid or real concern?
oD'd on smack, like many of the great ones.
@@gavin4848 dude was psychic....he saw it coming. It seems ridiculous at first, but look where they found him. Bathroom....someone following him? Likely had his phones tapped also.
My very favourite Doors song is Touch Me. I don’t think I’ve ever quite recovered from being a teenager and seeing Jim et al. on the Ed Sullivan show. Still takes my breath away thinking about it. My mother was made to watch and listen too as she walked about tidying up. Bet she was as impressed as I was.
First time listening to this, on a Doors binge listened to every record in chronological order up until this point
The Doors of Perception have been opened...
Some Good shit Man.
I NEVER get tired of this album. Every song is so good.
I listened to it for the first time in eons and when "Changeling" came on--wow what an intro song! I used to have issues with "L'America" and "Hiyacinth House" though, but I'm finding through more listenings they are growing on me. The rest of the album has always been straight up phenomenal! What a band!
👍👌
I'll make the argument it's the best record they ever made.
Every time I listen to this album it’s like the first time just fantastic
everyone of the Doors records is a gem
I used to listen to this album in the summer of 1990 while mowing lawns. 15 at the time. Not my generation's music but we loved it and still do.
Love Her Madly is sheer brilliance
Robbie wrote that about his wife,Lynn.
When they would fight,she would walk out the door and slam it hard.
It was springtime '71 and the release of this album created a huge buzz in our high school. I remember many discussions about it in my homeroom class. The rounded corners of the album cover generated a lot of comment. No one had ever seen an album cover shaped like that before. At the time, it was considered almost as revolutionary as the Sergeant Pepper album cover. With Love Her Madly rising up the charts and summer break about to begin, it was a heady time for fans of the 'Doors. Then a few weeks later, we got the news from Paris... I blame it all on L'America and it's so-called justice system for hounding Jim into fleeing the country. He didn't do anything in Miami that warranted the way that they persecuted him. Once he was in Paris, he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He either scored some bad dope or snorted some.of Pam's that he mistakenly thought was coke. He probably never would have went to Paris if it wasn't for the government's prosecution of him.
I remember in 1972, when I was 6,my brother Barry Parsons playing it He was 16,then He passed away July 19,2019, was63,sure miss him,we liked the same music
This comment is amazing because you are correct and to know so much about the details is a sign of hope for me
I agree with everything you said.
I will add that Pam was with a Prince in Paris who was the kingpin of 'white China' so the H looked a lot like C.
On an OD from H - you put the person in a cold bath to help. As Jim was found.
No pictures or police investigation . Burried before anyone could see him. Insane, it's Jimbo!!! Aneay, the Princed covered it up, dropped Pam like someday cigarette... she lost everything cause she was dumb and an addict more than a drug user. She became a crackwhore, literally six for hits. Gross
She died a few years later, so she took the truth with her.
She never did anything to help Jim. He loved her beauty and demanding attitude unfortunately
@@lisaparsons4124 - Thanks for sharing that memory of your brother. My brother passed away in 1993 and he was a very good guitarist. I have lots of music related memories of him.
@@laserluver1 your welcome,so sorry about your brother, They are with God now.Always loved the guitar thanks for sharing that .
After hearing other remasters of this album the 1999, 2007, 1993 DCC Steve Hoffman, 2000/2007 stereo and 5.1 Remix i didn't think this album could sound any better. With this remaster the instruments are better separated and you can hear more clarity in the recordings. Great job Bruce!
Love It.

Bandstand, i always thought that song was written about one of my own brothers! :)
based
First time hearing it actually
I know you gotta scream along with it though
You too????? We are so many around the globe 😆😆
This album proved The Doors still had a ton left in the tank. Had Jim lived, I think Scheff/Beno would’ve become regular players in the band and they would’ve toured with them, possibly making more albums too. Think of the live Doors show that could’ve been with a beefed up sound and a more sober Jim. Wasn’t meant to be. But this album JAMS.
I noticed Robbie's guitar is more prevalent in this album, they could have gotten better
@@carlneoh5843 All brilliant musicians. Jim's lyrics are sublime......
I'm not sure about Scheff, cause he was touring with Elvis regularly, but Benno could've been a full-time member for sure. I always felt a little bit sorry for him, he never got the acknowledgement he deserved for. He was a great guitar player and not bad songwriter too.
yes one often wonder had jim morrison not died or did he really and just lived a reclusive obscure life away from it all hmm who knows
@@carlneoh5843 I think the Beno guy he's referring to came in to play rhythm guitar so Robby could concentrate on his leads
Saw them live at the Toronto Rock Revival 1969. Morrison was freakin AMAZING!!!
Luckyyy I wish I was even alive then to see them perform. One of the best times for music
That is amazing.
@@Mark.13. my way home y6y66
I saw Cage The Elephant during their Tell Me I'm Pretty Tour after Melaphobia and it was like seeing The Doors. The lead singer had unbelievable energy and stage presence. It was a truly incredible show.
I first heard Riders on the Storm in my older brother's room high and asked why are we listening to Frank Sinatra?
Favorite album of all time. Been down so long so underrated. Hyacinth House, crawling king snake, Texas radio and the Big Beat, and Riders on the Storm to close it off. Listen from top to bottom just about every time. Lamerica is only one i ever skip, sometimes. Remember you used to lie in the basement with the lights off and just listen to this album.
Underrated by who? This album has rave reviews and killer sales. Who do you think underrated it?
I keep coming back to this album. I have stopped asking myself why.😎
The Doors Forever!!Jim Morrison the Genious singer!🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶✨⭐🪄
Best songs from this album are rarely heard on the radio. Changeling, Been Down So Long, Crawling King Snake, The Wasp.
Oh, hey, what a coincidence. I recognize you from your comment on station to station. Just wanted to tell you because it's the first time it has happened to me, recognizing someone. Also, you have great music taste.
Thank you Jim! Thank you The Doors! I always need your Rock poetry and passionate live performances!
I like the way all the instruments interact with each other. Like every band member is tightly interlocked with what one another are doing.
And that's exactly what was going on. I doubt there ever was or will be a band so connected.
Recorded live in the studio if I remember correctly.
Yep, they're very tight and confident here. It's too bad that Jim would be gone so soon after - if he had taken a one-year break and then returned to the band, what would their next album have sounded like?
@@paulblakey4589 well Paul I have a little story for you, this album was recorded in an apartment, I can't remember if it was a band members apartment or not but either way Jim's vocal booth was the bathroom wich was tiny and helped create the unique vocal sound you here in this album. This album was never played live as a foursome as Jim immediately left for Paris after it was recorded and died 6 months later. Riders on the storm wasnt played live until 2004 when Ray manzarek and robby kreiger toured as "The Doors of the 21st century".

This album is a masterpiece.
It is.....................

Magnum opus
When ever I get asked the question, who’s the best band? I always say the Doors.
I always get the reaction like I’m just a fan boy.
Musically they are so prolific. They hit so many styles blues, jazz, classical pop,
And sound %100 original.

This is probably the greatest rock/blues album of the 70s if not of all of rock and roll history.

Lived in Bayside for about 15 years!
The first Doors I ever bought on vinyl was L.A. Woman when I was 17. A very raw album that packs a punch. Definitely one the band's greatest albums.
mine first vinyl doors too at 17! although i did buy some of their 45's when i was younger than 17.
Man !
LA WOMAN is also the very 1st album I bought , I was 14 years old and walked 7 miles round trip to buy it with my money I earned delivering newspapers.
The year was 1980 and I bought it on 8 track .
Played it constantly on my parent console stereo that was as big as a triple dresser.
God I miss those days…
I was 8 years old when this album came out. My parents played it over and over. Every beat, riff, and vocal will be stuck in my head till I die. ABSOLUT CLASSIC!!!
I was 3
I bought the album back then for 4 bucks off the shelf..new..then i heard the news about two weeks later..maybe more
You got it buddy..i was there
I was there buddy..!!
An actor out on lone?
Top class album! Needed more from them as they could've only gotten better.
Jim morrison wasn't about being the band .he was putting his poetry into music
There was no way they could continue without Jim
@@justindawson5930 They did attempt to , with an album called "Other voices" I bought it as a teenager , it was pretty bad.
He was here..and then to get the f…k out of here..who wants to live forever in this shambles they call life…
@@randstadwoodbury7171 Hmm,that album had a top 20 hit,"Tightrope Ride",n they released the album "Full Circle"after that.Besides, Krieger wrote "Light my Fire","Love me two times" n "Love her Madly"among others,which we're they're best selling singles. . .
I can't stay away from this music!...it's definitely the best!!!!I still dream of that time...my eternal youth!!! ❤❤❤
thank you Jim... your voice has accompanied my days when I was young
I've been listening to this band since I was a teen. Whenever I am sad, or angry, or mad about something, They are THE medicine for my soul
love The Lizard King ❤️❤️❤️
Emi dove seiiii
...And with any other band, he would not have been the Lizard King!
Cheers
Panacea
Same here. The Doors to me are the musical equivalent of comfort food. They will always be one of my favorite bands of all time.
ditto 66 dob Mojo Till 79 ...
the doors the greatest to ever do it, peace to all my foreign friends
I think the Doors really aged well. I'm 70 now and these songs don't feel old to me at all.
Amen rocking at 68 great songs
I agree. I am only 37 but I feel like The Doors have aged like a fine wine. Still feels as raw and exciting to me as I assume it felt when it was first released.
59 aujourd'hui et leurs chansons font parties du patrimoine de l'humanité !!👍😍😘
I'm 70 as well and I never tire of the Doors. If this music was released today it would blow everything else to the curb.
That's because they are very well written songs with sounds that weren't particularly en vouge, but that sounded good to the ears of the people using them.
The part in L.A. Woman when they finally come back around to revisit the first verse after the long build up has to be the most exhilarating resolution in the history of rock and roll music. Just pure energy and satisfaction. Absolutely incredible.
My favorite The Doors album and in top 10 best music ever created on planet earth.
What about other planets ??
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

CARS HIS BY MY WINDOW
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me, but she's
Out of reach
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room
Ride
Ride on

L.A WOMAN
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel, city of night
City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, come on
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue blues
Into your blues, oh, yeah
I see your hair is burnin'
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Drivin' down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Mojo risin', gotta mojo risin'
Mister mojo risin', gotta keep on risin'
Risin', risin'
Gone risin', risin'
I'm gone risin', risin'
I gotta risin', risin'
Well, risin', risin'
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
Woah, ohh yeah
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel, city of night
City of night, city of night, city of night, whoa, come on
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, you're my woman
Little L.A. woman, little L.A. woman
L.A. L.A. woman woman
L.A. woman, come on

L'AMERICA
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America
Come on people, don't you look so down
You know the rain man is coming to town
He'll change your weather, change your luck
And it'll teach you how to
Find yourself
L'America
Friendly strangers came to town
All the people put them down
But the women loved their ways
Come again some other day
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
That falls
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold

HYACINTH HOUSE
What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?
What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?
To please the lions in this day
I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me
I need someone, yeah who doesn't need me
I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebody's near
I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah
Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end

THE WASP(TAXAS RADIO AND THE BIG BEAT)
I want to tell you 'bout Texas radio and the big beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died
The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned, immaculate"
Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the loss of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
I'll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
I'll tell you 'bout Texas radio and the Big Beat
Soft, driven, slow and mad, like some new language
Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
---------------------------------------------------------
RIDERS ON THE STORM
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Brilliant Lyrics.
Still be playing this 100 years from now🔥
Yes awesome group ❤
I have doubts there's going to be another 100 years.... certainly not for the U.S. Constitution & it being upheld, but even for mankind... The end of days will arise, & Jesus Christ will appear again to judge the living & the dead. Am I ready? Salvation-wise, yes. Prepared to give an account of myself without shame? Nope, doubtful.
I'm 67 and playing my Blue tooth loud- just was thinking about Whiskey Go-Go - and Doors came to mind
@@michaelthomas7177 👍👍🔥
101 years!!!!!!😊
The drumming is so so so so good on this album. John Densmore!
I agree...everything , on this ALBUM is so so so so good !
Totally underated ..from the same old school as Spencer Dryden..
I agree too
Thanks, I enjoy this album ever more for 30 years now... The sound is excellent!
The Doors No dejará de ser una de las mejores bandas de Rock. La voz y la personalidad de Jim llevaron a The Doors a convertirse en eso la mejor Banda de Rock. Su poesía en la música sólo un genio la podía hacer complementada con un toque de jazz, rock y blues qué más puedes pedir una buena copa y transportarte a algo inimaginable. The Doors es mi número 👍
Uno de los álbumes más emblemáticos y trascendentales de la historia de la música.
Para mi el mejor
@@pedrovargasalite9337 pra mi el mejo é o primeiro
EL ETERNO"JIM MORRISON!!!❤👍✌
The Doors es duda, una de las 5 mejores bandas del rock de todos los tiempos... Gracias por la música muchachos!!! Gracias Jim por la voz y el carisma!!! Este álbum fue una gran despedida... aunque siempre, como si pudiera ocurrir un milagro, estamos esperando más. Doors forever... and in my heart!!! ❤️🤩❤️ 🎄
1. Led Zeppelin
2. The Beatles
3. Deep Purple
4. The Doors
5. Black Sabbath
Wieso Abschied,? Dann schau mal die Dischgraphie von the Doies
Bevor was schreibst erkundige dich. Nach 1971 kamen Alben 2972 und auch 1978
Said this in another thread, so apologies for plagiarizing myself, but:
The Doors are not "the greatest band of their time," as so many wld have it.
They are timeless, they are for all times.
As we still listen to Bach and Beethoven 200 & 300 years on, our great-grandchildren's great-grandchildren will be listening to The Doors.
space time, and poetry (the fifth dimension)
Ur close to the question of life.....
@@WalterRocha-rm4rr what would the answer be though
Been listening to this album since God was a boy and I'm still loving it!
Guessing everybody's on a Jesus kick today Rock on 7
God was a coyboy
It's a good track, so I can't say that I blame you.
There is so much good music out there I can catch enough. I only have thousands of vinyl albums and that's not enough. I never listened to RUclips until 2 years ago. I always played my technics stereo equipment with six feet tall speakers. I still like to play my stereo loud to shake me and feel good when I wake up and crawl out of bed. The Doors is good Blues to. I only play what sounds good to me.
Love this Album. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊Long Live The Doors!
I bought this album when it first came out. Then I went back to their beginning and "worked" my way through the rest. Brilliant. All of it.
It was the first LP by a major band I've ever fell in love with. I guess I was about 11-12 when I first heard it. It's not very heavy, but it's rockin', very melodic, but not silly, not very complicated, but lyrics sure have some deep meaning in it. I'm 19 now, and after all of these years It's still one of my favourite albums of all time. IMO it's an ideal blues-rock, south Californian music album. Everything about this album is good. Even the album cover. Fantastic.
I guess I was 15 when this came out. I had no interest in 50 year old music at that time. You are not alone in liking this. A lot of youngsters seem to be interested in real music.
@@joemannix7471 That's right. It says that this guys did everything alright. I think they'll be beloved by many generations after me.
The Doors will always live thru the generations. Most bands won't....
First time I heard the whole album was on 8 track in my dad's old Charger. I was 9 years old. Sounded great then and even better now.
One of my elder brothers owned a Charger.
I don't remember a time when I didn't hear the Doors but when i first heard LA Woman i was 18yrs old in 1982 in a real dive bar in N.Ireland. this bar 'LaCave' ,now gone, was usually frequented by rough types, sailors, ladies of the night and total music heads. The barman was great you could request him to play a whole LP Record when he saw how much this kid loved LA Woman he played it all night. I have ever since been hooked on the Doors. When I've visited LA I've always tried to visit their old haunts i'm still in love with them & their music there's never been anything like them, they're stoned immaculate
Thank you so much for uploading the full album, guys! This is how every channel's band should be dude, uploading all their music for everyone to listen, not like some other family I know (Cough, HENDRIX STATE, cough)
cough, BEATLES, cough
@@isobello_banana I mean, the official stuff is all there, all the songs, but yeah, other stuff like concerts, bootlegs, different fanmade mixes not :(
@@isobello_banana Five years ago, you'd be right.
This one and Morrison Hotel are gold in my book. To be honest their albums are very well produced and stand the test of time.
Jim was tripin in them days. I graduated High School high on Jim's Music... Class of 1969 Mesmerizing spiritual vibes.... Serpents..., I am all in. It's a long story.
Peace out my man. Out in 67. Still riden the snake.
Every time I hear RIDERS on the STORM I think of driving my 71 torino at night, with dashboard lights glowing green. It's a memory of an actual moment that just stuck. I am very happy that it did.
Riders On The Strom was played quite a bit by a lot of FM rock radio stations when a thunderstorm was in the area. I am sure we all have great memories of driving during a Thunderstorm listening to The Doors Riders On The Storm. I know I have a few myself.
@@Steve-rc5isTrue, this. Folks would request it if they didn’t play it!
"No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn." Poetic brilliance.
Aw man! Jim you sound awesome. Thank you always Mij
Dionysus is the God of insanity, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre. And the soundtrack to all this ritual madness was brilliantly crafted by The Doors. The one and only The Doors
There is such a tightwire to walk between religious revelation and insanity
@@budahbaba7856 To quote Plato, "The greatest blessings of the Gods come by way of madness"
IO EUOI!
@@WildMen4444 As much as i hate to agree with you, i think that master Plato is once again correct in this matter! :)
@@budahbaba7856 Why would you hate to agree? Jim wouldn't have! He would have broken on through to the other side lol
As near as perfect an album could ever be
Wow..I had to check to make sure this isnt a greatest hits album!!..every song is unique in its own way..riders on the storm is so awesome it deserves to be an album of it's own..both sides filled with riders on the storm extended to fill the whole album..🤘🤘
Memories of being 16 and listening to LA Woman in my friend’s car, late night on the weekend after partying all night, maybe a bit stoned, out in the sticks of Virginia, and just letting the music envelope us. Miss those times.
Also memories from a car, being 20, road trip with 3 friends in the Netherlands and England and this album. Me wanted to hear Riders on the storm, all the time. Now I am the only person left, listening to Riders in the storm.
1971 was such a great year for music.
It was.......................
Only for music tho.
i wish i was born in 1971 to witness the greatness
The 70s were a great decade for music, until disco and punk came along and really stunk up the joint.
@@petergregory5537 Joy Division started because of punk music. And i think punk was a reaction against the disco and glam rock.
Merci pour ce remastered de qualité. Quel sonorisation exceptionnel, c'est un véritable plaisir.
Merci de continuer à perpétuer la légende qu'est devenue votre groupe de musique!
Vive ❤The Doors❤ pour toujours!!!
☮️☮️☮️
One of the most iconic albums of the Seventies! Recorded live in the studio if I remember correctly hence the great live sound!
Recorded at the house they rehearsed in; vocals were recording in the bathroom.
And he was soooo fucked up. Pure art! Absolutely nothing compares!
Released on my exact birthday April 19, 1971...always knew I loved it for some reason when my brother introduced me to the band as a kid!
Some albums always call you back to listen again. Fifty years on and still great.
This is definitely one of them albums.
FOREVER and EVER THE DOORS.
Yes I agree The Doors forever ❤
WOOW! Me encanta este álbum y la intro invade todo mi cuerpo! The Doors por siempre y Jim estás tan presente en mi vida! ❤️🔥
See me change
42...
Their best album. All around.
You don’t regret now
When a band is formed of all great musicians who meat at the right time right place and delivered us such great tunes we still listen to now
It’s a shame what’s out there now
Although there is good music you just have to hope the algorithm is in your favour
I went on holiday with my parents when I was 13 and I took one tape that’s right a cassette it had brake on through
It was on repeat for 10 days in my little hotel room
I would leave it on even when we went out
Maybe hoping to catch a like minded friend
Love yourself not once but twice today people
I grew up with this album in my lady chasing days. I'm too old to chase these days but it still brings back wonderful memories of those days.
🎉
I was a youngster when this album came out but when I was a teenager and still I simply love the DOORS! But not l.s.d. anymore.. perhaps some shrooms once in awhile 😂
