      Total freedom and lack of inhibitions. Started out with back to audience and just let it fly. Morrison was an actor. A poet, acting.

    I may be thirteen, and it may seem stupid, but The Doors changed my life. They've given me something to enjoy in the midst of school, tests, and depression. I wish I could personally thank Jim Morrison for showing me that life doesn't need to be so serious all the time. He's my favorite musician, and I don't know what my mental state would be without him and The Doors. Long live The Doors.

    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 said they would watch Morrison, because they never knew what he would do next.

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.

    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 .

    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.

      The Doors had a procedure for songs like this. The three instrumentalists would create what they called "the canvas" and Morrison would paint something on it. They were never quite sure what was coming, and I'm pretty sure Morrison often didn't either. I'm confident that in the early days, before the drugs and alcohol really got a hold over Morrison, that these performances were almost always fresh and exciting. Live at the Hollywood Bowl depicts the Doors in their element on this approach, and Morrison, although I think it likely he was doing LSD, was surreally articulate during that performance. I had the good fortune to see them in Louisville in October of 68, and they were truly fascinating.
