Yes , I kept seeing Jim in the heavens dancing that Native American dance he used to do through this whole mini concert. He seemed happy. They really are all brothers. Jim & Ray miss them.
What about the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band, for 'original'-sounding, or The Silver Apples? I think the Doors are one of the greatest band and minds - i love 'em, but a lot of what they did, musically-speaking was already covered by the Zombies. They are a power Zombies - plus Morrison. i love both bands but it takes a few minutes to look it up. And remember 'She's not there' was released mid-1964! Sure they came on and they had the genius of Morrison but Britain was ahead, in those days, musically - for the next 20 years too. ruclips.net/video/it68QbUWVPM/видео.html I rest my case.
This band had 4 completely diverse members. Flamingo guitars, latin/jazz drumming, blues, classical keys and a poet, crooner madman. What a synergy. Love The Doors. America's greatest band
Ray put out of documentary film (a collection of film recordings they had) and they all are very soft spoken. Granted it was the weed, but they were not the boozed up, hyperactive drug addicts people would think.
jeremy s I may be wrong but I think ray named it The Soft Parade. It has a bunch of videos while the songs off the album play. just look up The Soft Parade documentary
I just love Robby. He’s probably one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history, and a great guy. He has a quiet, cool, and funny side that is unique and it seems like he would be fun to be around.
They were all amazing. If you really listen to the music, you can appreciate everything they did. Jim had amazing lyrics and a great voice but the guys playing around him; John, Ray, and Robby, were all so special.
The Doors took the world by storm. There was nothing like them at the time, and 50 years later, there still isn't. I feel fortunate to have enjoyed their unique sound all these years. There's just nothing else like it.
John Densmore is flat out my fav drummer of all time... he had such an intensity about his playing and he was right in the pocket of the song 'all the time'. He never played anything for no reason... he had a real drama about his playing. And for a guy who never used a pick... Robby Kreiger could really rock it out too... his guitar had a lot of attack for a guy who only used his fingers.
Wow. The Doors were just absolutely dripping with talent. What a treat to see Robby and John play together again. I love the way they relate to each other and can easily imagine Jim and Ray looking down, smiling.
I am crying while seeing this. I miss Jim Morrison. And I love Robby Krieger even more now. Such a gentle human being. And John Densmore at his witty best. Love this.
i feel so bad for these two especially losing a great keyboard artist like Ray and not having Jim around, they were such great band, always love the doors
I am so sorry for discovering this only now. It's undeniable that John and Robby can still goddamn deliver after so many years - fantastic performance from those two Doors that haven't been shut just yet!
I really loved the interaction between Robbie and John! Two really old friends who know each other so well! I know John had lawsuits against Ray and Robbie for playing the Doors music in concert and using the "Doors" name! I am happy they let bygones be gone and moved on!! I have seen a few interviews with Robbie but tonight he just was so funny and he kept everybody laughing! Thank you
I am too. I hated hear about them being adversarial toward one another, busted up and at each others throats. I'm glad that they put all of the friction behind them, reconciled, and came back together as musical brothers. May God continue to bless and prosper them.
Wow, Robby's playing at the end of Riders was incredible. I always thought that was a piano part. They are what, in their 70's? What unsung, hmm pun unintentional, talent and longevity.
If I can even play, 1/1000th of what they are able to do now, in my prime. I will consider myself to be blessed. Real musicians. They inspire me so much. RIP Ray Manzarek, RIP Jim.
To watch his thumb and index finger on the side-camera view on Take 2 of Spanish Caravan is really something. The acoustic guitar amplified with overdrive gets all the tonal frequencies and sustain. When we heard the song in the late 60’s on our primitive record players on fresh vinyl without scratches it was mind blowing. We had absolutely no idea Robby took the intro from "Asturias," a classical piece by Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz. Then he pushed the solo through a fuzz box. When we studied the album cover I can still picture that moment, holding WAITING FOR THE SUN. Who are they? What does this mean? Then flipping over the album cover, Morrison leading them, silhouetted against a pink background. Melancholy. Romance. Message. Music. Poetry. Songwriting. Electrify. Jazz drumming. I reached out to bassist Doug Lubahn just before he passed. He played on the first 2 albums only. The conversation here between John and Robby about Spanish Caravan completes the Loop for me. Thank you for reading.
backstage, (helping move local bands' gear outta the way after a Battle Of The Bands as part of Homecoming Festivities) as a young high school student in a small midwestern town in the late 60's, these guys & Densmore brushed by me moving their own equipment in...each responsible for his own stuff, while Jim ah uhm ...relaxed out in the limo close by the rear entrance....I could go on & on about the show that night, but just let me say - the DOORS live- were in their element spread out across the stage even then as much they were on the vinyls yet to come... thanks guys
Densmore, Kreiger and Manzarek are individually AMAZING MUSCIANS and very under rated. Then Jim Morrison adds poetic Lyrics on an unpresidented scale and that is THE DOORS. Till this day nobody sounds like The Doors. Their fan base continues to grow their music will live forever. Love that John and Robby reunited
OH MAN!! I was listening to the whole thing. when the Riders On The Storm lead part came near the end, I was hearing just from my cell phone and I closed my eyes and turned my head back and forth, left and right, over and over..... It WAS the sound they had!!!! it pans back and forth. try it!! great interview! loved every part. it was raw, funny and life fullfilling as there are parts we didnt know about the band and Jim. such a jewel of diamonds to behold of the Doors and you two fabulous musicians. Thank You!! I listened to it again. close your eyes and move your cellphone back and forth around your head. move it slow, then speed it up. It is Pure Magic... so beautiful, like it was meant to be. just lovely..
I was in the audience and I can assure you we were fully aware of the magnitude of the situation. We did not know they were going to play, so when they said they were going to play a little we all gasped with amazement, we couldn't believe it. I felt like Jim and Ray were there. There was a moment of incredible and indescribable energy.
Wooowwww !!!! That was the best hour Ive spent in a looong time ! What a great pair of musicians. The 4 songs were like a blessing from the gods. Two gods !
Their rendition of Riders on the Storm was a great display of Robbie Krieger's skill as a guitarist. He manages to get much of Ray Manzarek's bass and electric piano lines in with his own lead guitar, with a fun foray into Ghost Riders In The Sky to boot. Krieger even gets the 'rainfall' notes, one of Manzarek's master strokes for the tune, into the mix. I am amazed that the guy could play at such a high level well into his 60s.
Setting aside raw talent and originality Densmore & Robby are such class guys with a very fun and humorous side. Morrison was lucky to find the other 3 Doors. And vise versa
Gosh I really wish Jim and Ray were still with us today so they could all jam together and I could experience a Doors show live! I often wonder how different the rock world would be right now if Jim hadn't left us so early, how many more GREAT albums they would have had, all the unwritten pages of poetry we could've read, and how much more creativity it all would have inspired....damn, Jim you left us too soon! Rest in peace.
The Doors took over my life as a teenager, ever since the first time I heard Gloria. I was possessed and my obsession with the doors lasted literally for years
Joe Buck same here bro, same here. On came the booze, acid and rock n roll. I thought I was the reincarnation of Jim Morrison for a couple years until I realized I wasn’t.
It’s so nice to see these two comfortable together and to hear John complimenting Morrison in a genuine way made me happy. John seems to relish reliving the past and he seems to have lost the bitterness of being under Jim’s shadow. Ray, John and Robbie were hugely under valued in the humongous shadow Jim unintentionally cast
Delinthefelon 3 I read his book about 20 times when I was younger and I distinctly recall him stating that being behind the drum kit meant he didn’t get all the chicks like Jim. You might want to have a wee reread
Corinne Marie John, I don’t think your being a drummer had a thing to do with ability to get girls. Take a look in mirror and listen to your whiney personality. BTW, one reason for feelings of resentment was Jim dated John’s 1st wife before John dated & married her. (Read in an article)
The Doors are one of the best banks in history. Like Beethoven and Mozart they will still be playing the Doors 200 years from now. Whereas many 60s groups are already long forgotten. They were all four good musicians but there was something magical when they got together. Like Jim said four corners of a diamond. None were as good by themselves without the other thee, not even Jim. I think John is the most down to earth common sense of them but they were all out there! Like cosmic music. Robbie seems to be the one who says it like it is though.
Robbie says, "had Jim not stayed in Paris." I wonder if that's how he coped with losing a friend, especially since they never saw Jim or confirmed he actually was buried. They also talked about Ray in present tense. RIP Jim and Ray
You're right and don't forget Brian Jones,Keith moon the loon,Duane "skydog" Allman, John gonzo Bonham, oh man I need to stop sadly the list doesn't seem to end.God bless
Just think: Robbie was only 25 when Jim died. How would you like that, your entire life and financial support defined by what you did till you were 25.
U can find people in so many sectors even outside the arts including technology who've created things in their 20's & then ride that wave for the remainder of their careers, it could b labeled 'branding', which in essence the primary musicians Ray & Robby did, crafting more hits than some big bands who lasted 3 or 4 times their timespan.
Drunk Yes, they made out alright - homes, families, education for children, etc. If they had wanted anything different, they could have done. Google lists John & Robbie at $14M and $15M, respectfully, and Ray, at death, $25M.Yep, they did OK, IMO.
there's a salient moment when John's eyes meet Robby's after suggesting they perform a few in the spirit of their past. it's a dynamic connection that brings past full circle with present yet knowing the outcome would be ever so different with Jim and Ray's absence.
I'll never forget this night......I had bought tickets for the event and arrived 5 minutes before showtime. The guy at the ticket booth said all seats were already taken and there was nothing he could do about it. I was super pissed, but a friend called us up and said to come out to a house party in Echo Park later that night. The house band was setting up to perform & the drummer was none other than the SAME guy at the ticket booth earlier that said our seats were taken. Needless to say he freaking bolted outta there once their set was done LOL!!!! I think the spirit of Jim Morrison played a prank on us that night.
Too often by the public and now even Robby and John refer to LA Woman as the "last" album. I always consider An American Prayer the last studio album. Jim's haunting voice brought The Doors together for another classic, which they covered in part here w/ John doing the spoken verse. Talk about strange. The two remaining Doors together after all these yrs. It seems a long, long, time ago that magic & myth were created by The Doors. Although in this simple set, Robby & John revealed the magic is still there. Timeless music!
TangleF50 An American prayer was a pure money making quest after Jim died. I personally think they should’ve released the poetry tapes, unedited, flaws and all and while I do have an appreciation for American prayer, particularly feast of friends, the final product was so incredibly edited that it removes it completely from the original. Which was just Jim’s desire to record his poetry. When it’s taken so far from that it ceases to become a doors album, particularly when an important member of the band was dead and had no further input
They seem like funny guys. Can you imagine how cool it would be to hang out with them, Jim and Ray in 1967?.. having a beer. Talking about music and art and crap.
I was hoping that John and Robby would reconcile after Ray passed, so I'm glad to see this. Like that example with The Monkees, it also took the passing of Ronnie James Dio to get Ozzy to come back to Black Sabbath and really focus on that next album. Now granted that time around Ozzy was simply more focused on his solo career as opposed to having any sort of animosity, but Dio's death made them all realize their own mortality, and if a new Sabbath album with Ozzy was going to happen, it better be soon. Their next focus should be on working things out with Bill Ward, who actually almost died last year from a perforated diverticulitis.
Ray played left hand bass, right hand medody, and everyone forgets about his LEFT FOOT!!! His left foot was always on the beat, and amazed me his ability to do all 3!!!
Me da gusto ver a estos miembros de la banda e imaginar que ellos vivieron muchas experienzas inimaginables con Jim morrison y q lo conocieron tan de cerca q los envidio felicidades y en hora buena
Ray Manzarek was a musical and intellectual genius. He was also the most quintessentially chilled out dude of all time. It still saddens me whenever I think of his death.
Without Robbie and John there would not be the Doors we love so much today! Remember Robbie brought his song he wrote to the band on their first meeting. A little song that every member added to called "Light My Fire!" Check out YT video of Ray telling how the Doors wrote songs!&
This guy should be interviewing himself and asking, "How the fuck did I get the privilege's to interview talented people or even be in the same space ?"
I didn't look further down to see if anyone else had mentioned this... but how eerie was it when Robbie couldn't get the buzz out of his guiter during Riders. The very first thing I thought was "that's Jim's contribution, right there... looking down on them...". Awesome to see the remaining Doors are on speaking terms finally :)
The music of The Doors has so many layers and complexity that it's hold lasts a lifetime. They played only for 6 years but their music will be loved forever even by younger generation of music lovers
John Densmore is an AMAZING DRUMMER! Robby and John were the back beat for the Doors... The Doors were the most original and the BEST BAND ever to grace pop music... Although, most of their songs aren't pop, they are the best BAND to ever exist. More so than the Beatles. It was dark and very talented. On their worst day, the Beatles sounded like a far happier version of the Doors.
Music today is crap! Shame that a lot of folks in this audience are too young to appreciate the talent sitting up on that stage (host not included). Robby is so chill!
It's a damn shame Jim died when he did. They could have done a movie soundtrack, and considering Ray and Jim went to film school, it's a wonder that wasn't a priority. They, at the very least, would have made an amazing concept album.
I can imagine Jim and Ray sitting on these huge speakers behind them and watching this with great smile on their faces.
Yes, wish I saw them perform in person. Religious experience , as some describe it
They are!
That was a Doors performance. You can sense the whole band reflected in these two and hear the missing echoes of Jim and Ray. Beautiful.
Yes , I kept seeing Jim in the heavens dancing that Native American dance he used to do through this whole mini concert. He seemed happy. They really are all brothers. Jim & Ray miss them.
I felt that 100% when John was reciting Jim's poem! Like they were all there!!!
I agree.
I'm 57 started hearing they art 10 years back I was born in 67 my art my band
@@GleasonTennisOCI miss them
The most unique and original sounding band in rock history, great fucking band!
TheF86Sabre I agree with you 100%.That was back when music and life was sweet, soulful, innovative and magical..
Right On.
and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"Flamenco" guitars..:-)

Robby is the most chilled out dude ever.
Ray put out of documentary film (a collection of film recordings they had) and they all are very soft spoken. Granted it was the weed, but they were not the boozed up, hyperactive drug addicts people would think.
What is the film Ray put out??
jeremy s I may be wrong but I think ray named it The Soft Parade. It has a bunch of videos while the songs off the album play. just look up The Soft Parade documentary
50+ years of yoga 🧘♂️
I need to meet one of the surviving doors members
I just love Robby. He’s probably one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history, and a great guy. He has a quiet, cool, and funny side that is unique and it seems like he would be fun to be around.
robby krieger most underated guitar player,especially love his acoustic playing on spanish caravan
Densmore was underrated as well.
overshadowed by Morrison
They were all amazing. If you really listen to the music, you can appreciate everything they did. Jim had amazing lyrics and a great voice but the guys playing around him; John, Ray, and Robby, were all so special.
Totally agree Mate. The End, LA Woman, to name only 2, fantastic guitar playing. The guitar on the End is just absolutely hypnotic. Love these guys.
MOST EVERY DOOR'S STUDIO SONG HAS ACOUSTIC GUITAR OVERDUBBED by Robby Kreiger
Raymond Daniel Manzarek R.I.P.
The Doors took the world by storm. There was nothing like them at the time, and 50 years later, there still isn't. I feel fortunate to have enjoyed their unique sound all these years. There's just nothing else like it.
I love these guys, they are so cool, normal people who have a great talent. Not pompous or arrogant, just regular folks like you and me.
I got tears eyed watching this... :'(
Long live the lizard king
Long live the doors
What a gift these 2 fellas and the other 2 were and always will be to this world. Love you The Doors ❤
John Densmore is flat out my fav drummer of all time... he had such an intensity about his playing and he was right in the pocket of the song 'all the time'. He never played anything for no reason... he had a real drama about his playing. And for a guy who never used a pick... Robby Kreiger could really rock it out too... his guitar had a lot of attack for a guy who only used his fingers.
On old footage you could see robby had long finger nails. Acted like a couple picks lol
nickserio35
Also, in an old interview, there was much scurrying around to find a nail file, as Robbie had damaged a nail.
Setlist:
31:07 People Are Strange
36:57 Love Me Two Times
41:00 Spanish Caravan
47:45 Riders On The Storm
TY
Ghost riders and the Ghost Song in the middle of riders on the storm
Wow. The Doors were just absolutely dripping with talent. What a treat to see Robby and John play together again. I love the way they relate to each other and can easily imagine Jim and Ray looking down, smiling.
I am crying while seeing this. I miss Jim Morrison. And I love Robby Krieger even more now. Such a gentle human being. And John Densmore at his witty best. Love this.
Great to see Robbie and John together!
Yes. Pity John wouldn't play with Robby & Ray in Doors of the 21st Century ...
Robbie plays Rays parts in addition to his... all the while John is keeping the beat super tight. These are true musicians
The Doors Unplugged! Great Songs and Interview. Thanks.
Brought tears to my eyes for the transparency of the past, present and future.. Wow, just wow..
i feel so bad for these two especially losing a great keyboard artist like Ray and not having Jim around, they were such great band, always love the doors
Fantastic
These are two of my favorite rock musicians ever. Always very musical, always served the song, always had huge ears...
You guys were definitive explorers in your genre of music and style
I am so sorry for discovering this only now. It's undeniable that John and Robby can still goddamn deliver after so many years - fantastic performance from those two Doors that haven't been shut just yet!

Wow, Robby's playing at the end of Riders was incredible. I always thought that was a piano part. They are what, in their 70's? What unsung, hmm pun unintentional, talent and longevity.
It is incredible but it is played on the piano.
its a Rhodes piano by Ray but its much much easier on a piano i can tell you that!
At 50:00 I actually thought it was Jim speaking poetry trough a recorded speaker but it was John. Now that John is old he sounds more like Jim.
It's ghost song
This was brilliant, keeping the dream alive for all the doors fans!
If I can even play, 1/1000th of what they are able to do now, in my prime. I will consider myself to be blessed.
Real musicians. They inspire me so much. RIP Ray Manzarek, RIP Jim.
I love this version of “People are Strange” It would’ve been unreal to have an unplugged concert with Jim, Ray, Robbie, and John.

Great performance of Riders on the Storm. Even a version like this has the power to mesmerize.
The wisdom and humility of these guys is inspiring, and that's what makes Door's music so powerful even to this day. It simply transcends time.
God they were so special of a group. 2 of the 4 left and still doing it strong like day 1. I woulda loved a full album like this

This Robby Krieger is completily underated. A silent nice Genius he is.
Nice! The Doors forever!
Robby Krieger has a surprisingly good voice
I admire these guys! I really want to just sit with them and talk about anything! They seem so cool and chill.

The audience don't realize that there are two gods in their presence
yeah no shit it pisses me off
ISONrhythm what did they do wrong
the audience? well i guess people express thereself differently but i wouldnt be able to contain myself in this situation
You said it !

Well into his 70s
It was truly beautiful. 2 out of 4 and the music still is just as amazing
Love the Doors. Easily one of my top 5 bands of all time. You can definitely hear that Morricone/Spaghetti Western influence on Riders On The Storm.
Setting aside raw talent and originality Densmore & Robby are such class guys with a very fun and humorous side. Morrison was lucky to find the other 3 Doors. And vise versa

Tough to find a band other than perhaps Beatles who produced so many hits in such a limited amount of time.

I was super pissed, but a friend called us up and said to come out to a house party in Echo Park later that night. The house band was setting up to perform & the drummer was none other than the SAME guy at the ticket booth earlier that said our seats were taken. Needless to say he freaking bolted outta there once their set was done LOL!!!! I think the spirit of Jim Morrison played a prank on us that night.
Too often by the public and now even Robby and John refer to LA Woman as the "last" album. I always consider An American Prayer the last studio album. Jim's haunting voice brought The Doors together for another classic, which they covered in part here w/ John doing the spoken verse. Talk about strange. The two remaining Doors together after all these yrs. It seems a long, long, time ago that magic & myth were created by The Doors. Although in this simple set, Robby & John revealed the magic is still there. Timeless music!
TangleF50 An American prayer was a pure money making quest after Jim died. I personally think they should’ve released the poetry tapes, unedited, flaws and all and while I do have an appreciation for American prayer, particularly feast of friends, the final product was so incredibly edited that it removes it completely from the original. Which was just Jim’s desire to record his poetry. When it’s taken so far from that it ceases to become a doors album, particularly when an important member of the band was dead and had no further input
They seem like funny guys. Can you imagine how cool it would be to hang out with them, Jim and Ray in 1967?.. having a beer. Talking about music and art and crap.
I was hoping that John and Robby would reconcile after Ray passed, so I'm glad to see this. Like that example with The Monkees, it also took the passing of Ronnie James Dio to get Ozzy to come back to Black Sabbath and really focus on that next album.
Now granted that time around Ozzy was simply more focused on his solo career as opposed to having any sort of animosity, but Dio's death made them all realize their own mortality, and if a new Sabbath album with Ozzy was going to happen, it better be soon. Their next focus should be on working things out with Bill Ward, who actually almost died last year from a perforated diverticulitis.
Love this it is so COOL! Love 'The Door's' reminds me of jamming with others in rooms back a while.......
Maravilhoso de se ver e ouvir! Sempre!
that was totally awesome!!!!! thank you all who where involved , and of course The doors!
Ray played left hand bass, right hand medody, and everyone forgets about his LEFT FOOT!!! His left foot was always on the beat, and amazed me his ability to do all 3!!!
I loved every 54 minutes of this video..!
If I could even imagine being able to play guitar as well as Robbie Krieger , most under rated musician of the twentieth century !
I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for posting this : )
That was just great !!!
Wow...!!!
A blessing ❤️, a thrill, a true pleasure. The only Band to out shake an earthquake...!!!
Wonderful! Thank you for this treasure! Missing J&R!
Me da gusto ver a estos miembros de la banda e imaginar que ellos vivieron muchas experienzas inimaginables con Jim morrison y q lo conocieron tan de cerca q los envidio felicidades y en hora buena
The best EVER !!! Thank you
Exceptional!
Wow this is awesome. Thank you.
manzarak was the driving force behind the band. tribute to jim and ray
Ray Manzarek was a musical and intellectual genius. He was also the most quintessentially chilled out dude of all time. It still saddens me whenever I think of his death.
Without Robbie and John there would not be the Doors we love so much today! Remember Robbie brought his song he wrote to the band on their first meeting. A little song that every member added to called "Light My Fire!" Check out YT video of Ray telling how the Doors wrote songs!&
Was Ray the oldest of the four????
@@vickiladu6755 Yep he was born in 1939 🙂
This guy should be interviewing himself and asking, "How the fuck did I get the privilege's to interview talented people or even be in the same space ?"
Really loved Robbie paying homage to Ray's organ solo on Riders! Greatest blues band ever!
John Densmore , leader of His high school marching band , who would have thought !
Love this!!
What I'd give for a guitar lesson from Robby...
Funny how the world works. Covid has made this place
I'd have more questions for those 2 guys in an hour than I will for anyone the rest of my life....... The Doors leave me speechless..... 😎🤘
Absolutely awesome guys right on!
These two very talented dudes were overshadowed by two geniuses.
It was a great interview! Felt like I was with you back in the Day, guys!
Great vocals by Krieger!
And by Densmore in the last song.
I didn't look further down to see if anyone else had mentioned this... but how eerie was it when Robbie couldn't get the buzz out of his guiter during Riders.
The very first thing I thought was "that's Jim's contribution, right there... looking down on them...".
Awesome to see the remaining Doors are on speaking terms finally :)
Harty warm thanks!
The music of The Doors has so many layers and complexity that it's hold lasts a lifetime. They played only for 6 years but their music will be loved forever even by younger generation of music lovers
Love this! ❤️❤️❤️
I fuckin love densmore the guy is awesome and underrated
John Densmore is an AMAZING DRUMMER! Robby and John were the back beat for the Doors... The Doors were the most original and the BEST BAND ever to grace pop music... Although, most of their songs aren't pop, they are the best BAND to ever exist. More so than the Beatles. It was dark and very talented. On their worst day, the Beatles sounded like a far happier version of the Doors.
Oh my god what memories
Music today is crap! Shame that a lot of folks in this audience are too young to appreciate the talent sitting up on that stage (host not included). Robby is so chill!
LA WOMAN BEST DRIVIN SONG OFF ALL TIME..should be the the theme of TOP GEAR....
aheadrec ? WTF is top gear ?
@@benallmark9671 I think he meant Top Gun
It's a damn shame Jim died when he did. They could have done a movie soundtrack, and considering Ray and Jim went to film school, it's a wonder that wasn't a priority. They, at the very least, would have made an amazing concept album.
Both are so cool!
