The doors will always be played in my house
And mine
same here 🤘🔥🖤
UNTIL THE END ❤
The blue bus is calling us
Robby Krieger is so unheralded in rock history... We all need to remember his greatness
YES!!!!!
Do it again 🙂
So underrated and he's still touring!
the band of geniuses
Underrated by who
He died shortly after this song... But he still jams here in 2024
😅😅😅😅😅😂
This album proves The Doors would have eased into the 70's without a problem, right along with The Stones and Led Zeppelin. Unlike some 60's bands The Doors would have been a major driving force through-out the 70's and beyond...
Absolutely! In fact, there was a huge resurgence of interest in the Doors in the late 70's and early 80's. Ray Manzarek then said Jim was way ahead of his time...and he still is!
Yes sorry lm no engliesh
I’d say they already did and are currently easing right on into 2022, there music is timeless.
@@mitchelllambaiso9746 absolutely! Always will be! I can thank Jim, and the Doors for easing me out of bereavement! Music really is my special friend! Can't forget Ian Astbury or the Cult of course! Considering Ian fronted the Doors for 150 shows!
@@raymondsearch5289 much of the band’s music still sounds brand new!
Jim was one of a kind, no one has replaced his energy.
He's definitely missed
You cannot petition the lord with prayer, you cannot replace jim morrison
There was nothing fake about him.. he just let it roll... nothing like getting your freak on and getting PAID!
Same goes for the rest of the band, most people focus on Jim but in my eyes each member of the band were equally gifted, they were one of a kind, immaculate some may say, one of my favourites bands of all time and the first I turn when I feel low, their time together was short lived but the quality and quantity of what they created during that time was astonishing and totally unique and will never be equalled, Jim was the Lizard King but could only do anything with the Doors behind him... Gotta run, got my SG and Robby trying to teach me, no matter how much I try even with the man himself can't recreate Mr Krieger feel
It,s very good album
@@mikalouhema1590 yes I've owned it for 40 years
I haven’t heard this song in about 40 years. What a great jam.
These guys are timeless so amazing today.
Мне 74 но Джим меня гипнотизирует так же как и в молодости. Джим-великий фронтмен всех времен!!!
50 years later were still listening and digging this incredible music from L.A. Woman from The Doors.
Fuk ... born in 53, this was the music of my teen years, changed my life forever. And I knew this was gonna happen before I even hit the play button, I'm weeping like a goddamn baby as I listen, over and over.
Born in 55 and remember hearing Ray Charles laying on the floor of my dads 56 Pontiac Star Chief and we were bothsinging "Hit the Road Jack" with Ray such fun times and then in 67 at age 12 The Doors Lp the first Record i paid for and i was off.. Long Live the Doors
I'm 59 and I feel you. I remember it all even as a child hearing these tunes in the car.
Doing LSD for the next couple weeks,,discovering this is,,gonna add a few more weeks 😮
Long after living life goes on.
This is absolutely brilliant.
I love the Doors.
I love you Jim Morrison.
You opened my mind when I was 14. Now I'm 52.
Rest in Peace brother 🙏
Fits todays enviroment.
His music is timeless, tone is rock in a pure but "doors only" melody. A gift to the listeners
Jim Morrison thé greatest star in music history
@Black Sabbath Matters ... all gone Too Soon. 👍!!
I'm 53 y/o now. I had a life size poster of Jim that completely covered my closet door when I was fifteen. I visited his grave in Paris in the early 90s. Me and my wife at the time got kicked out of the cemetery by security for openly drinking wine in the cemetery. I had a glass of red wine at his grave site. Yeah! It was his spirit......
@@rolex3560fantastic! Hope i do the same some day 😁🤘🙋🏻♂️
This is best performance for this song
Excelente edición.
Alguien en 2022?
This song is seriously BRILLIANT 🎶
"i've been down so god damn long that it looks like up to me", first lyrical line i ever related to.
are you Joes bro ?
until seeing it typed out, i never understood the line... I thought "up to me", meant its on him to solve something.. .but he really meant, "down looks like up", because he's been experiencing it for so long.
Classic blues line
Thanks dude........
Laughable when it's coming from a California rich-kid.
Jim was right, this is the strangest life I ever knew.
Fuckin a
Amen
One of my favorite lines from Mr Mojo
“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me- ever.”
― Jim Morrison
oh man........ that's a fucking awesome comment.... we will never forget him....
Haha. Been an inspiration to me for almost 30 years
@Patriot America Jg so is corona virus!
Fucking awsome mitigat
Right on, Jim. Pretty good, pretty neat.
I once read that the guitar in song is best when it's played almost like a second vocal or duet. Krieger had that ability in spades!
I love you, Jim
I love how he's lauging, then...lets get serious and just tears it up like a boss. The LIzard King is forever.
+edna fuson I know man! nobody Usually are able to do that these days! long live the el rey lagarto!
edna fuson Exactly what does the Term Like A Boss mean ??? cuz I'm old and it doesn't make sense to me junior 👕
edna fuson so amazing!
Dirty Whiteboy doing things your own way;taking charge...look up "like a boss"-lonely island
Dirty Whiteboy @ 50 I'm considered old, too. I gathered it's from the hysterical song from "Lonely Island." You're never too old to stop knowing what's going on. There's still some great things happening, despite all of our society's insanity. PEACE!
I went to his grave in France. There was a coffee shop next door with his poetry hanging on the walls. He wrote music in this coffee shop. So sad that he died a baby. 27 club.
A cafe next to a cemetery? Only in France.
No body in the grave though so you wasted your time!
Yes ROCK GOD !! 🎶✨️💯✨️L💚VE FROM PHILADELPHIA ✨️ ♥️🤍💙🙏
@@DanFernandesBenficaSaintabsolutely!!! ♥️🤍💙🙏
i don't smoke but this makes me want to smoke a cigarette, drink some whiskey and sit in a shady bar and reflect on the good ole days
I just lit up a butt and drank some Tennessee shine. Keep rocking.
@@kenrex1126
Good timing. I'm doin the same .. 🍺🍺🍻
That's over rated...
Much better to have the good days now.
@@richardstechrichardstech9110 but when you old and tired it's never going to be as good as it was
zer0 95 Makes me wanna kick the dust up polish off a couple bottles and start a fight with my reflection
This Song gets your knee tapping. Rhythm and blues at its best. Jim’s voice influxuation and Robbie on slide guitar make this a masterpiece. RIP Best psychedelic classic blues rock american band in history!
I've wondered and wondered if that was slide guitar...it's not in the credits that it is...
' Gets your knee tapping ' ?
My favorite Doors tune right here!!
@@adriennetabakow8588no I think a kazoo
Great visuals. Great track.
I need a whole new, old seventies wardrobe now. With extra hair, please.
Long live The Doors.
Wow what a take 🎶
Jim 👑🚀
Love the foot stomping heaviness of anger, rage, depression and hopelessness in this so g, soundtrack of my life. Sounds pessimesitic, but one of Jims greatest talents aside from his stellar voice and poetry is he channeled his PAIN into a creative outlet that millions across globe could relate to. God bless him for beimg a trooper the way he was, in midst of his pain and emotional scars. Not an easy task when your a depressed poet
Must be the guilt from the role he was playing to distract society whilst his dad was responsible for millions of people dying! Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon. Read this book. Then read about the gulf of Tonkin incident - and not the wiki state sponsored version lol 😂
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
As a Deadhead, ever hear their cover in 66 when they were still just a primitive psychedelic bar band? There's one or two recorded versions, circa Nov/Dec 66. It's a happy little tune in their approach. Much different lyrically, as all these old blues songs were depending on who did them.
GDF
Great points!! Great band!! Manzerek sort of set them apart from other bands too. (I think he is on keys and some songs are centered around that keyboard) I can say as an artist, an always starving one however, that creating art is essential to any chance of climbing from that depression (as you say) or frustration of words failing us. All too often words pale to ideas. Jim M was not starving by The End (pun very intended lol) but obviously always frustrated. Lucky us. 🫤 Too bad we didn’t get another decade or more of his genius.
James Douglas Morrison 🦎👑 The LIZARD KING; The LEGEND, the BLUESMAN most definitely❣️Miss You Jimbo
I love this! Jim was the kind of singer you wanted to play your heart out to.
Very kick ass.
kick AZZ - 😜
Man, that voice. Wish he sang more blues tunes. Love this here one the most.
Thank you for keeping this music alive.
this is the best hard rock blues tune in the world.
James Chase catch hell blues - white stripes
I think the same
Oh yea. Love love him
yeah i agree ,so raw too...
This is the real deal blues.
One of the greatest songs of all time. I wish they could have done more blues.
Jim developed a love for old blues and simple rock by 1970 and beyond.
Favorite album, favorite band. Don't know how many times we played this in college, drunkenly bellowing out the lyrics. Still my favorite (a long way past college).
Love that!! 😎👊👏👍
So very raw, genuine and creative yet so very familiar and iconic. The Doors were all of those with just 4 very musically and intelligently gifted guys who gave us a lifetime of original, open minded doors of perceptual musical creation that is etched in ears and hearts of millions of people for a eternity ✌🏽♥️
Jim's laugh at the beginning is a gift from the recording gods.
Richard Langford one of those guys who can just muck around and get straight into it. Legend
The Jews ? Lol
Dig it.
Supposedly, Jimbo🦎👑was a funny guy!! Long live The LEGEND ❣️The LIZARD KING❤️🔥
Just the serendipity. Of them getting together 🕸🌤💕💕
Never heard this version before and its f*king great.
F**King GREAT. !
:)
When I was younger, I was amazed at how quickly he could go from goofy to serious (while being drunk, obviously)
Now I'm more amazed at the patiance of his band members.
Not taking anything away from Jim, but dealing with an alcoholic is hell
The best version.
5/2020 Corona brought me here and legit feel this on so many new levels now...set me freeee
Robby's slide work is fantastic- no wonder Jim wanted it on all the songs....
Kit Potamkin that's a lap steel though
@@neilbell5296 That's still sliding!
@@neilbell5296 that is called electric slide guitar genius.
Robby Krieger is the most underrated guitarists of all time. So versatile, so many textures...and always spot on!
He's a wildly underrated guitarist.
Beautiful voice
LA Woman is one of the most distinguished albums ever made yet its so simple and brilliant. True legacy music that will always live on into future generations.
icyhotmike true DAT brother...
icyhotmike barely, I love it but every person my age listens to the shitty new rap
Not such a fan, much prefer waiting for the sun personally.
Word
Christian Sickler ...that's their loss, must be tRUMPERS✌️
This is relatively simple music but played with spirit and then there are the words, that and his voice is what make it.
Did you know that Jim, who did read or write musical notes would simply tell John what was in his head and bam MAGIC a song.
I love the Doors. Thank you Jim for all you Musik!
That is the a very unique Doors song,, it has more of a blues sound than anything else they recorded, it is excellent!!!
Cars Hiss By My Window is another great song drenched in blues by them.
their last album recorded together (L.A woman) was overall more bluesy than their earlier stuff
Yeah also I will never be untrue. Very bluesy.
shaman's blues.
yeah i agree..an iwould also add Moonlight Drive evn tho its not emediate ..at first
LOVE JIMMY MORRISON THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO STUDIO VERSION

Good man
Lyrics must be
does your fear of death actually make you embrace it to the point where you come here and curse God himself Jesus Christ is God and if you don't believe in his death burial and Resurrection you have no hope in this world you have no peace that passeth understanding. good luck to you man and God bless. just so you know the Roman Orthodox church and the Catholic Church denies by grace through faith that you are saved and that not of yourself lest any man should boast so only 7% of Christians even claim to believe what the Bible says and you shouldn't judge us until you open that Bible yourself and understand what the fruit of the spirit is. Jim Morrison embraced death to his own destruction please do not follow him sir. you're more than welcome to look at my channel to find proof after proof mathematical archaeological scientific and every other type of proof that there is that Jesus Christ is God and he predicted the beginning to the end he truly is the Alpha and Omega.
+Edward Smith Biggs shut ur crazy ass up
this is just the song I need
I visited his grave in Paris and left some flowers I bought on the street. It was early in the morning and already there were 10 ppl there. This was in 1987. Glad I made the stop. I’ve been back to Paris three times but haven’t made it back. He was magnetic
me too - a good feeling bin there
Went there in 1989. Lots of moody French people dressed in black wearing shades. The headstone had gone. Also went to the flat, guess I should have taken a snap. That was my high point in Paris.
🤘😎👍✨️💯✨️🌹🌹🌹✨️🦅💚🦅💚🦅💚L💚✌️E FROM PHILADELPHIA ♥️🤍💙🙏✨️💯✨️🌹🌹🌹
Boy they could play the Blues....
Poor white boys always can...
Yep, some lucky white guys can actually really play the blues, but not many
If Morrison had lived, I'm confident they would've done more blues based rock.
enough of the stupid "white boy" comments
yeah, you too, stop with the stupid "white boy" comments
unlike me,,this music never gets old
One of the very best of the genuine blues-rock masterpieces from this legendary band. Jim Morrison's voice had just the right combination of hard-living, hard-drinking and shop-worn pained qualities for this final album to carry this off as the perfect blues gem here!
Was für eine Rockband, Musik für die Ewigkeit, Doors forever.
There have been quite a few white guys who can play the blues, but only a select few can really sing the blues. To my ear, Jim Morrison was one of the select few.
I have never heard this version. His vocals are incredible, especially how he kicks it off.
Robby on guitar killing it
running free what did you expect?
The Doors had the best musicians of any 60's band in my opinion.
Do it, Robby, do it!
With a little help from Marc Benno on the second guitar.
Hired Elvis's OKd Bass player to play on it, & that just thrilled tga hell outta Jim!! Whenever I'm down, I listen to this & Hank3 Lowdown!!
Whiskey gravel timber in his voice.at 27 Jim was falling apart. God bless him.we'll never see the likes of him again.
we'll never see the likes of 20th century Los Angle-eaze either.
How did Val Kilmer do it so well?
Really well, a hell of an actor
tis the devil working through them my brother
Have you ever MET Val Kill...?🎉🎉😮
Um...acid
He has REAL Soul.
On top of all the musical magic happening in this song, the mixing was pure gold!
No comment
I' m so thrilled! I've been listening to the Doors since I was 12, and I'm 50.This is intertime experience!! I love you Jim!!!
cooll
Jim and the Doors have been living in my head since i was 10 in 1967 .
Couldn't ask for better tenants. Long live the DOORS !
Indeed.
Living in my head since a classmate gave me a Copy of "No One Here Gets Out Alive" back in '83? '84??
Still born 1984 and lovin this band.❤️
@@Gutave same. the eerie feelings I still get when I hear any of their great tracks. like this one.
L.A Woman is their masterpiece. Makes you wonder what greatness they could have put out in 72' or 73'.
It makes me tear up to know this was the end.
Or by 1975 or 1983
Other voices, Full Circle & American Prayer, I guess...
Hay alguien que toque mejor, imposible, el Rey Lagarto y su banda son los reyes del R.M.B. siempre admirados e ídolos para la eternidad. MAESTROS. ☮
Love the Doors stripped down to their blues bones.....just a raw jam here; I love it!
Ultimate according to rock standards. Jim was legend still is no doubt🎉❤🎉❤🎉
this is yours band’s favorite band
Long time Doors fan and had LA Woman for many years . It's great that you tube gives us a chance to hear and see all these alternate versions and outtakes and stuff . Love the photo at about 27 sec of Ray showing Robbie a chord
There's no other group like them nor will there ever be. The 50's and 60's was the best of times We were there for it all! Glad to see the younger generations dig on this great music.of times for music. Nothing today can touch it.
As I going through some depression once again, this song seems to fit
justmadeit2 head up man. It's only up from here.
Ryan Mckay Thanks. I hope so
Good music is always good for the soul.
justmadeit2; Appreciate your honesty.....you know you're not alone.........
All of us.
Jim Morrison is the sexiest dead man alive! Love my guy. He's lookin' good; lookin' real good! 💗😊💗
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Jim has been dead since '71
I was thinking the same thing. What a fucking idiot...
patricia smith -- Was your reply directed to me?????
She knows he's dead, that's why she said as much.
patricia smith -- CAREFULLY REREAD my original post re Jim Morrison. Do you see the word you apparently overlooked the FIRST time? NOW who's the idiot? HAH! 😂😂😂
Forever man. Forever band.
Such a Bluesiest Blues tune.......
2024 n this sound still lifts me up
Escutar essa música dá vontade de beber. Clássico... Doooooors.
Hopefully someone said this earlier. "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me" is the title of a book by Richard Farina...husband of the late Mimi...who was Joan Baez's sister.
Yeah. Not many people know that.
The book is a great window into the early 60s. I read it in '68-'69. My first husband's father bought the movie rights but never made the film.
Astute woman......yummy!
+yrtnook I read the book in '71. Poor Joanie. First she had to put up with big baby Bob. Then her sister's new hubbie bite's it on his bike the night his bloody booook goes pup. Then her sis dies too. Then she gets old...... then you say, "and you aren't???"
+Aldebaron9 I meant, booook goes pub..... saw-ree.
The radio shoulda played this one the last 50 years. 🥵👍👍👍👍
Ok
102.9 I shall request it tomorrow ..shit now !! They rock less Commercials at 🌙 !!!
Legendary band way ahead of their time. Daily required listening!
No they were at the right time at the right place, in all the hearts, souls, minds of us children of the 60's and early 70's. You cannot petition the lord with prayer,
I am also wondering where this "ahead of their time" is coming from...
I'm 60 years old grew up with the doors Jim Morrison is one of my favorite singer-songwriters.
Yeah Val really killed it as Jim. He was very very convincing! Love that movie.
Yes GOT THAT ✨️💯✨️GOD SAYS WE ALL HAVE A DUBBLE! I BELIEVE JUST MET MINE KINDA. 💚🦅💚🦅LOVE FROM PHILADELPHIA !!
Dude was beautiful man
2023...I'm still here ...
What makes it so good and authentic is that .. its mostly live and not made in 2000 with autotune and shit.
Had this in my head when I woke!! Makes for a great day🤪
a man a rebel and a genius
Carmine Annunziat0 Couldn't have described him better.
@@Johnconno at least he'll be remembered forever. Unlike you, no one will even remember you after you die. Ain't that sad? :(
@@Johnconno like all of us one day.
THis is terrific. I shouldn't be surprised that Jim Morrison wrote a song from Richard Fariña's book by that title. Great still shots of the boys in the recording studio. Thank You for this!! Cheers from NYC!!!
Jim is a GENIUS AND NOT A a junkie a drunkered yes
His addictions were basically 1. Alcohol. When he was in Paris he tried hard stuff. H. That killed him.
A fucking genius !!!
Imagine going to a club tonight and seeing the doors perform thins song and only this song. I would be in heaven.
Superb !
Robby is one of the best ,most versatile guitar players ever!
LOVE LIVE ROCK N ROLL...rock n roll is supposed to be played LIVE....!!!!
Born in LA in 1968 myself and have heard The Doors in the womb,One of the greatest bands and Gentiles to ever form a band.No more refined music can come from the heart and soul.There is no other and never will be again.Lets cheer with a drink and celebrate who we are and know,Our future depends on,life will never end....Peace Froggy,:):)
No one can replace the Doors
My ex bf played this song for me when we met in rehab, and I fell in love with it.❣❣❣
What an amazing version of this song! Robbie's slide on his guitar is perfect. The doors r my fave band hands down so its hard to b "I like this better than that" but I do like this version a smidge more than the original. Thx for the post! PS remember folks its not just Jim. All of them bring their own magic to the table.
This a a very raw, spirited great performance. Marc Benno is also a great guitarist who played on the album and deserves credit. Brilliant Jim still shines so bright
Feel's like I am sitting in a booth about 6 ft way from Jim and the band. His voice along with ev-e-ry syllable and every note on the instruments are pristine.
Yep, I think that I understand.
Thx Jim.
NOW we gotta fix the problem.
Amirite?
Fix the problem.
Bang bang.....
Bless em all......
Thank you Doors, great Song 🙂
People cross talked about morrision's vocal but for me the best one vocal.
