The Doors were founded by Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison in Los Angeles in 1965. They released their eponymous debut album, which contained their hit single Light My Fire, in 1967 and went on to be one of the most controversial and influential rock acts of the sixties. Jim Morrison's early death in Paris in 1971 only served to fuel their legend and both he and the band have continued to enjoy iconic status for more than thirty years.
This incredible performance of Back Door Man is from the Eagle Vision DVD "Live in Europe", which is available now.

You don't make music for immortality,
You make music to capture the moment or sheer joy of being alive on planet earth.
-Ray Manzarek.
jim motrrison and his 880 cubic inch 2 stroke inline 6 cylinder fascenates me even today and is the 858 arcticat
Yet the music is still timeless.
Every other band hated the doors because Jim was the embodiment of rock.
I will always argue that Robbie Kreiger is one of the most underrated guitarists. EVER.
He definitely has a unique sound and as an artist in general he's very underestimated especially since he wrote light my fire and love her madly etc
hell yeah!
Probably one of the first rock guitarists to use flamenco influences... without sounding forced or dull as shit.
How fucking awesome is that?
As well as Song Writer (not this W. Dixon Song)
He never uses a pick
Morrison didn't try to dance. He just had a knack for moving, jumping, hopping, falling and screaming with the music. No other front man comes close. Even his own band members were said they would watch Morrison, because they never knew what he would do next.
He was very special indeed. He had that X Factor in him. Can you imagine how much people could have been jealous of Jim?! But, poor man needed help, and nobody was there to help. :((
@@Dzanarika1 he was born to die young.
well, Freddy was the equivalent, so..
Once a girl was like can you dance I was like no but inknow the shaman dance and she was like what's that I was like you'll know when you see it
@@daviT_con_T freddy is not Jim's equal
I’m 38 now and Morrison is still the most enigmatic person I’ve ever read about.
He was a hot man
for sure
James Dean also. My 2 favorite performers. Both complete mysteries, been reading about both for 40 years and still learning. I honestly feel like I have them both figured out! Mostly!
Total freedom and lack of inhibitions. Started out with back to audience and just let it fly. Morrison was an actor. A poet, acting.

What I wouldn't trade to see a live Doors concert... What a trip
I did see them(and met Jim) and what you see here is just a taste...
If you live in southern California there is a tribute band called strange days that cover the doors.. they put on a heck of show..
Saw them twice in NYC. I'm 71 now.
While other bands put on outfits, or makeup, or fireworks in order to convey that they were dangerous, when the doors played, you were seeing the real deal. They played from the depths. Each member had special skills, and they were completely fluid in setting the mood for, and with Jim. Their excellence lives on. Long live the doors.
If that aint the truth. Apparently the band was more intense in real life
100% nothing more than their raw energy n let the music guide them n the audience wherever it may take them with Jim as the captain, Ray, Robbie n John the Co- pilots, still the best of all time in my opinion
Also..no resolving members..A true band.
THE DOORS are NOT “America’s Rolling Stones!,” Whomever stated that is a fool 😵💫
@@cherielynne5275 may they be rememered for there drug use..many trips to god knows where
Until a few years ago, we only read about these live performances but never actually saw them. I’m 36, so definitely was not around. With these RUclips channels and uploads of live footage, we can finally see it happen. It’s all true! They put on quite a show!

And you can feel it, every word, every instrument. Magnificent! 🔥
Mesmerizing performance. Jim's the best looking sexiest guy in the world. Love The Doors.
THAT is how you mesmerize an audience. That place was silent during this performance.
This entire band is just phenomenal. Jim Morrison just happened to be a giant of iconic front men.
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him......
Yes, but he also wrote most of the band's lyrics. That makes him much more than a "front man."
This is beyond music; this is a soulful, carnal sermon. These guys made magic.
Carnal sermon... awesome brother
My favorite rock band since way back. And Great words you use. Roy b, Cape Town, south africa 🇿🇦
Ese gran poeta con voz magnetica
Well said. Yet visceral and primal too
Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger were consistently amazing musicians. They helped create the unique sound of the Doors
Barry Smith they just followed Jim's improvement on stage.
@@bluewendigo672 More like they led Jim into his improvement.
FROGO Creature I think you meant to say they followed Jim’s improvisation on stage.
I mean they did create it. Jim didn’t write the music, they did.
Manzarek is the sound of the entire album if you ask me
the doors was the band that I was most involved with, Jim was very intelligent, knew the ancient Greek philosophy and poetry too, was a philosopher poet, knowledgeable of Nietzschean philosophy, which is not at all easy to understand, in my opinion, the doors was the best band that ever existed.
Wesley Felipe His poems weren't that great tho
Neitzche isn't all that but Jim was woke to say the least. Wrote alot of profound relatable stuff for sure.
@@troysorensen1089 yeah I love Jim's writing
The killer awoke before Dawn he put his boots on🤘🎤
So you found a way to incorporate yourself to the doors legacy huh ?? Pathetic.
Love Jim and all the DOORS way ahead of there time,better than any band these days!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Undescribable talent.....so blessed to grow up hearing such talent......Jim Morrison could be my back door man anytime!!❤
a young and wild Jim Morrison, at his prime. love you Jim
My favorite live performance of this song
you look beautiful what is your favorite song
Erik Deluna Need a backdoor? 😂
absolutely possessed in this one
u read my mind.
I was gonna say the same, well something like that indeed
I love the way Jim screams in this video.
@James Douglas Morrison fuck the fakes
ME TOO!
@@Jennifer-hd4cs As do i . Its like hes possesed in this song . But ive never worked out what he says in the latter part of the into . Sounds like ' get up there ' 'thats five alive ' .
Oh my gosh makes me wanna do the same, which I do in private
Raw Doors at there best. only a true fan could appreciate this.
nah, many can appreciate this. I am a true fan though
Favorite band
Only deaf people couldnt appreciate this!
That is true only a real fun fill The Doors and The KING Jim Morrison. We love you JIM every year in Paris love from GREECE!!!!
Gone too soon, that's for sure, my favorite band, and I was born in 74...did not even know about the doors till the movie and I had to look hard to find a pic of the real Jim, no internet then, think I had to hunt down a local record store! And now I'm loving them in RUclips.
Unlike any band, absolutely amazing
Mystic Rain it's cool my band is shit too. At least your having fun
amen
man jim was fucking always high to the next level! he lived his life to the extreme
He sure did, he pushed the limit
glenn danzig iiu
Back when the cocaine was pure and the weed was bunk
yes he did he made his mark on our minds shame hes gone from drugs he could of shown this world today some shit!
He lived im his own mind but was popular. Every junkie is the same and he wasnt special
The Doors, one of the best bands ever of all times ...
Morrison, the only performer who could sing a blues tune, and then also crank up a bubble gum tune..like 'I looked at you '..
This may be the best recording of Jim in absolute madness mode from the growling at the start on. I am watching this every day lately to get me into character for my daily life here in Manhattan, NYC. I’m serious. The other day on the subway I snapped into this mode after someone did something inappropriate towards me, and I HANDLED IT LIKE A PRO. Even had several people looking at me with respect afterwards. If they only knew where I got my inspiration. Don’t waste time thinking, react. Quickly.
Their are no words to describe the feeling I get from this band. Just a fireball of energy . No words
His unpredictability. You never knew what you were gonna get. But always left satisfied
When the Doors did Blues Covers it stood out. It wasn’t cheesy and soulless like many other white bands covering blues. The Doors were students of not only Delta Blues but of the marrow of that music the mysticism the spirit of it the real roots of it. They found the light and dark, the back pew the carnal release of it. They became a vessel that channeled those old blues ghosts. It was otherworldly and Jim And Ray knew it was bigger than them .
Exactly ton ton ton
best ever live version of Backdoor Man right here ....the middle segment is mesmerizing in intensity, hypnotic, Jim mimicking the various black artists he would see on his travels of all the cheap joints in L.A that is where this came from , after he absorbed the blues he saw and heard, playing to the uk audience for the first time he gave them everything , full effort all his showmanship and tricks
I was listening to Crawling King Snake and I began singing Backdoor Man to myself. I can't believe this version actually exists with both, it's perfect.
best ever is in Danbury high school 1967
Interesting

@@jimb0437 But no video ? Am I correct ? Roy b, Cape Town, South africa 🇿🇦
I love those little dialogues he puts into his songs, its like he's talking to himself and at the same time paints a picture in my head. Like I can imagine some guy who is the "boss" who is talking to me.
the boss is the hangman or God, take your pick. Morrison had the construct nailed down. succinct blueprint of the condition. underrated lyricist.
+kelvinkloud very underrated.
Mystical,Magical, Morrison.
What a voice!! This version of Backdoor man is as amazing as Janis Joplin singing ball and chain at Monterey Pop festival, just epic!
Good call
Really? Just as amazing as that? No less, no more? Sometimes, it just cracks me up, all the simpleminded analysis going on in comments sections. :'D
If you knew music history you would know that when Janice sang Ball and Chain at Monterey Pop it was considered revolutionary. You're actually the simpleton here. @@CooManTunes
@@mcnowski I know all about Janis Joplin at Monterey, youcompleteFOOL.
This is a fantastic performance, and I firmly believe that this band, not Jim but this band, maybe the most overlooked in history... Everyone remembers Jim, but Ray, Robbie and John were so goddamn good
Just a great band. Jim had an IQ of 149 and it shows. I like how he mixed in Crawling King Snake with Back Door Man.
probably the best live version of back door man....jim said this was one of the best crowds ever
Hell yeah! The Doors will always be my favorite. Jim was a poet!
Kim Loves Modest Mouse
Hello kim
Hell yeah , only select few understand. Mr. Mojo Rising is lizard king forever .
My thoughts exactly kim
Yes he was one o the greatest poets
"Hey boss there ain't much time, is there?....no" That was scary
That was his spirit guide letting him know it's almost time. You can see Jim's in a shamanic trance.
It's interesting the way Jim answers with a not all too enthusiastic "all right". Sort of just resigned to his fate.
@@harryh.2464 I believe that . He was so real , under no illusions . when we in our 20's we dont think about getting old and dying . He did and went for it . I believe he lived everyday like it was his last .
@@Lord_Hillcrest People in their 20s don't think and contemplate about old age and death? I do and I'm 14...
@@ThePowerpointMaster Thats not healthy my friend.
@@Lord_Hillcrest I know you intend well but don't you judge this young persons thoughts. Are you God? Consciousness of life and death is what motivates me to live everyday and will hopefully do that for him too. We will all die. No one get's out of here alive. My son thought these things when only 10 as did I before him. as he became aware of time and losing loved ones. We talked about it. At 20 he is a beautiful caring young man. Most live in the dream nightmare of nothing. Let him awake from slumber and the living death that is the tragic norm. It is fear that crushes the soul.
the original lizard king! jimbo...in top form
He was amazing in this era, but for me his best form was in the time of Morrison Hotel and definitly their best and most brilliant work LA Woman...Top three albums ever made for me right there with White Album and Exile On Main Street
*The ONLY Lizard King
By far one of the best live performances done by The Doors. I listen to this daily just for the sole fact that you can feel and hear the soul put into this song. There will never be another Morison, there will never be a band like The Doors.
11/10/2021
Big facts love this song
I'm a 70-year-old female that listens to the Doors daily along with the best in the west! Love Crystal Ship on Dave Clark!!!
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him......
Er war einfach großartig - intelligent, intellektuell und hatte Charisma ohne Ende. Ein schöner Mann war er ebenso - für mich eigentlich der schönste auf der Welt da er viele Charakterzüge im Gesicht hatte wenn er singt wie kein anderer. Er lebte exzessiv und bekam die Quittung. Dennoch war er ein Genie der sich feinfühlig, traurig und zugleich lebensbejahend in seinen Liedern und Werken für immer verewigte.
This whole thing sounds so dirty and raw, down to the sound quality...and I love it
One of the better live versions with awesome video footage.
yep
❤ HE JIM LOOKS COMPLETLY DEMON POSSESED 😢 AND SO DAMN INTOXICATED. WE MISS HIM .❤
Fucking hell, i don't even have words do describe this. Jim was one of a kind.
warguy403 was due to the 60s times.just feelings and real music
Morrison is on fire here. Apparently the cream of the London rock scene were in to see them. .
My favorite live performance of this song and the best band EVER!!!!!! Jim Morrison The King Of Rock n'roll
There's no denying it Jim morrison is one of the best in those days.!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could of grew up in those days so i can go to the concerts he gave Wow what a person.
I KNOW ME TOO
"Im the Crawling King Snake and I rule my den"
This is such a badass performance! One of my favorites.
Jim Morrison - Extraordinary talent and depth. Much more than just a band front man.
He was a fantastic performer and this Is One of their best live, maybe their top performance. Roundhouse London 1.9.1968 their top only few months before Miami disaster. Incredible show...
My god, I think If I were Robby, Ray, or John I would have be a nervous wreck when Jim starts freestyling. Like, it's so awesome to hear how he fills the spaces, but how long do you let him do it for? Thats the beauty of the band I guess- they all know each other so well they can just be like "Alright, lets punch back into the song now". Amazing stuff
That's four people in total sync, a band that despite the chaos of the sound are reacting to eachother. really cool
What a visceral performance.
Not really, it fits the lyrics.
Moonlight Moe I mean, he's right though.
Jeff Tate II I mean it's about a means of consciousness man!! Jims sayin what he's fellin!
Moonlight Moe feelin
I saw Robbie Krieger last Sept 2018. He played two hours of DOORS classics. It was great, his sound was still fantastic!!! He told some great stories about Jim and Ray and the Band....
Jim at his most visceral, rawest, and grittiest.
We need more of this, videos like this were the audio matches the footage and pure Doors sound to fuel the universal mind
Dude, why don't you put the time and effort in downloading, and editing the sound to match the video, you're even able to turn up or lower the volume and bass, you just gotta do it.
The magic of Jim morrison is shown in this live performance, when they were at their peak, and his charisma, also Robbie Krieger n
Best ever live version of Back Door Man right here of King of Rock n roll Jim Morrison Best Band Ever THE DOORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unique, mesmerizing, he had women and men at his feet. What a special gifted intelligent person he was. It’s just so sad those demons could not be dragged out of him. WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!!
John Densmore says Artistic Creativity & Self Destruction don't have to go hand in hand ...
His father was a Navy Commander smack in the middle of the Gulf Of Tonkin incident that started the Vietnam war. Imagine having that burden in that time.
When Jim cared the Doors were one of the greatest live bands.
That sound!!! Nothing like it, just an absolute force!
jim was a very charismatic frontman! R.IP Jim and Ray !
I can think of two music showman in my life Morrison is one and Freddie Mercury the other.......... this set is just pure showmanship!
no it's pure acid. Freddie played classical music. This is raw raunchy blues.
The Doors. The best band, of my youth.
OK I saw Doors Isle of Wight seventeen but we had to escape from boarding school. Still it was before he died and a weekend we will never forget. For me they were geniuses!
Look at the music today rubbish.
WOW thee best ever no band was even close.
THE DOORS WILL LIVE FOREVER! Thank you for posting this incredible reminder!
Thank you jim morrison for your "truly groundbreaking"music
Kek
I m a back door man ❤ Morrisson never die❤
OMFG. First time seeing this. Mono sound but no words for the quality and sound, bearing in mind no knobs, no tweaking, no tech and Jim and all the rock and roll lifestyle...blown away. RIP CJP 1946-2020. ❤️❤️
it's rare that a blues song makes me feel like breaking shit \m/ helllll yea
Absolutely Fabulous! Robbie just glide's across the strings with no pick!
I miss jim although i did not meet him during his lifetime.. This shows how powerful he is in the realm of music
Ray's back had to have hurt hunched over like that all the time.
Actually, it hurt him to sit up straight. Hunching was the only way he could feel comfortable.
thats what happens when you have bad posture
and his neck too
@@stay.alive.00 LL
Nobody remotely like Jim Morrison. Very good very unique
you haven't met Fayette Wolfie yet!!!!!!!!,🌟🌟🌟
Check out Jeff Martin of the Tea Party from windsor canada. He looks and sounds like Morrison. Also his lyrics are like Jims. He was born around the time when Jim was still touring. Btw! He's adopted. Also I turned Ray Manzarek onto him in the early 2000s. He was invited to try out for them when they were going to do The Doors ofthe 21th Century. But he was a multi talented Guitarist. And he didnt want to posture like Jim.
yessss
@@robertstevens4008 nothing shows up on a Google search, so what are you talking about?
because he is real
Jim's screech game was on par in this one lol. God bless all ♥️✌️
I love Robby Krieger's SG. Its beautiful. And holy shit Jim Morrison was high
He was always high. I can't think of a moment where Jim wasn't high or/and drunk except maybe pre-Doors.
*drunk
NEVER try to sing this unless you are this drunk, or in front of your dear grandmother.
I rther b drunk
Jim is and will be the best
punishment equipment Real face of Rock and Roll.
How really was behavior.on those places
The perfect band
Although i do love the Beatles more.
It's just their run of albums The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel and LA Woman are all brilliant.
The Doors were also unique. Every band member was incredible.
John Densmore on drums, Ray Manzerak on keyboards that really gave it that unique Doors sound, Robby Krieger on guitar was amazing, his guitar work on Spanish Caravan is awesome and what a songwriter, then there's Jim Morrison, the ultimate frontman, what i would have given to see him and the Doors live, he was a unique poet which gave the Doors songs some incredible and strange lyrics, he was much copied as a frontman, like Michael Hutchence from INXS ( i may have gotten his name wrong, but he was truly a prodigy of Morrison's frontman persona before he sadly passed away. But there could only ever be 1 Jim Morrison, an american poet and so unique in his songwriting.
That roar at the beginning gets me every time
The emotional load plus artistic genius beyond the reach of today's pop stars.
Woooow oh my gooood....
One of the most surreal moments for me was viewing the Jim Morrison display at the Rock Hall in Cleveland featuring him dressed up in his little Cub Scout’s uniform with his unit and a couple of sailors posed next to a Korean War vintage panther fighter jet at a navy base in California. His father was the admiral who had local command on scene during the Gulf of Tonkin incident between two US Navy destroyers and the North Vietnamese gunboats which they claimed had attacked them. My AA sponsor was a quartermaster on one of those destroyers. So it was his dad who kicked off the escalation phase of the war in Vietnam. Once Jim was taken on a cruise on his dad’s aircraft carrier and his dad forced him not only to get a butch haircut from the ship’s barber but then handed him a .45 caliber Thompson sub machine gun and ordered Jim to machine gun a rescue dummy which had been tossed into the ocean. No wonder he was so bent!
jim and the boys have been singing for over 64yrs...this one alone is over 44yrs old... ya I love ya Jim more then any man I ever seen...😘😍💞
What a marvelous masterpiece. Truly a one of a kind performance
i love when he is yelling i the beginning
@YouMake MeReal Ever worked out what he is saying during the scream ?
@YouMake MeReal And what did he say....
Been looking for this version for so long! Thank you!
'The doors live in Europe 1968 ' is the DVD you want then .
Anyone else realize how this genius just blended two of my favorite songs? Truly impressed
We all have two lives. The second begins after you listen to The Doors.
Dios.... que hombre.. que voz!!! 😍❤❤❤❤
Si guapa !! Un ser humano magnifico , poeta e interprete unico .. con voz y rostro propio , sin poses.....
Thank-you for sharing and uploading for all of us Doors fans to enjoy.
The first time I heard the album, LA Women, many years ago, I was mesmerized and listened to the album ( cassette tape )over and over on my Sony Walkman.
Happy 78th Birthday Jim. What could have been.
If ever there was a song to make anyone feel cool af, its this
At 4:44...I mean his voice, like an instrument. The same exact tone in his voice as the guitar, f..cking perfect :))))
Krueger underrated guitarist and music writer , Densmore what a Drummer , Manzerak , incredible , and Jim Legend , one of the best bands ever
I had to watch the entire video before looking at comments. I couldn't take my eyes off of this intense mesmerizing jam of "Back Door Man".
I remember the first time I heard this song as a kid. My friend's dad played it for us in the car while cruising around Coconut Grove, Miami. R.I.Peace Bill I'm blasting this one loud for you tonight!!!
Jim stalks the stage like a starving lion....
LOL
An intense performance. Unrepentant, unabashed and primal!
"hey boss, there aint much time is there?
no
we aint got long to go?
no.
alright,... You men eat your dinner, eat your pork n beans. I eat more chicken any man ever seen, YAWLLP!!! -BACKDOORMAN
Badass!!!
