I'm in awe of you as much as the band ...I try telling young UN's what 1990s rave was like ... you just can't find the words probably the same you trying to tell me the isle of wight was ... moments in time 👍🤯
@@sids48 I agree with you. As great as their amazing performance was, the excitement of being there was also incredible. It's quite easy to describe the performance, and I have done so many times, as you can imagine, but it is difficult to explain the atmosphere, the excitement and thrill of being there, and the energy emanating from the crowd. And it is impossible to describe the feeling of finally being there, watching your favourite band and particularly, Jim Morrison, up there performing live. 💕
@@solobano570 It was a brilliant performance. The band were awesome and Jim's vocals were incredible . They performed all their old favourites, including my favourites (When The Music's Over and The End) so I can happily say I totally enjoyed every minute of their performance, as did most of the crowd judging from the reaction of everyone around us.
Wow!!! Lucky you - I am so envious! Which concerts did you see? I wanted to see them at the Roundhouse in 68, but I was deemed to be too young, especially as I lived over 100 miles from London. I had to wait until 1970 and there was nothing that could stop me from going to the IOW to see them. To see them 3 times would have been truly amazing!
@@Nictric1 Obviously RT BARNES can answer this question much better than I can, as I only saw them at this concert when, Jim just stood at the mic and sang. He hadn't slept for over 36 hours, and was in the middle of the trial, so he seemed to be concentrating all his effort on his vocals. But I can definitely say that he had a magnetism. He was bathed in that red light, and he barely moved a muscle, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. He drew the whole of my attention throughout the performance like a moth to the flame. He was mesmerising. I still get chills when I think about it!
You are very very fortunate. I missed him by only a few years... though if I lived on the west coast I would have seen him. He died when I had just turned 17. Just graduated high school. Started going out to hear music when I was 14, but that autumn, when I began college in Manhattan, I began to go out to shows several times a week. For the next decade... after the mid-80s it toned down. I still went out often-and still go to concerts- but it wasn’t nearly as often. The Doors, Joplin, and Hendrix are the only musicians I never got to see. Oh I sadly never saw Bob Marley. But I saw just about all who I loved, across genres, and in small venues. Again: you were a fortunate person to see the Doors.
this song as just given me the chills, when he sings "woke up this mornin,got myself a beer"as a recovering alcoholic i could actually feel the sensation.amazing powerfull performance
The thing I will always love most about The Doors is about how they had the power to be a solid unit while paradoxically letting their individuality shine.
Like every band ever 😂 trying too hard to find poetry are we!? This is a classic blues bar riff. No different to a lot of black music of the time and blues artists of its time. It also happens to be my favourite song ever. But to suggest that somehow the Doors were unique in their abilities is hilarious to me. And foolish.
I was here seventeen how we danced to this. Miss those times . Jim was misunderstood for the genius he was like all geniuses. Sad not made for this world.
yes my friend- remember I did that my last day of senior year in high school......not as "cool as Jim" as I had hard time downing the beer at 7:15 in the morning, but polished it off.................ahh.........great times- all credit to jim!!
uniqueness: that rare and wonderful quality that ensures that nobody, just nobody, will ever sound like you do....this is what the Doors were and still are, to so many listeners.....
This has GOT to be the best LIVE version of the song EVER! That syncopated drumming by Densmore was inspired. Ray and Robbie sounded great and Jim's singing was AWESOME. Those in attendance were in for the performance of a lifetime!
Got into the Doors in the early 80's. Fell in love. Read No One Here Gets Out Alive by Danny Sugerman. Went to LA and had a night in the Whiskey A Go Go. Going back next year. Gonna tread Venice Beach and Sunset Strip. Get Stoned. Tick my boxes xx
When this started I was thinking, oh boy this sounds like The Doors are tired and jaded, then the organ kicked in and Jim starts singing, leaning into the vocal, giving it everything, but also effortlessly. The song builds beautifully until 2:49 where it naturally dies back again. The Doors were a masterful live band. They knew when to kick it up a gear, when to sit back, when to pull it all together and they really knew how to build to a great ending. They weren't afraid to let the song breathe a bit, to let it ebb and flow and importantly they knew the importance of dynamics. More like a Jazzer's band than a rock n roll band in many ways. Thanks for this excellent footage.
The Doors with Jim only performed two other live shows after this one (none of which were recorded), at the last one Jim didn't sing at all apparently. They went back to L.A. to record L.A. Woman, and the last song they recorded was Riders on the Storm. Jim went to Paris and never sang with the Doors again. So this concert is the last recorded live performance of Jim Morrison. RIP Jim and Ray.
The Doors performed three live shows with Jim after the Isle of Wight festival and all three shows were recorded. The two live shows in Dallas can be heard here on RUclips and have rare live versions of "Riders" and "L.A. Woman." The Doors final show in New Orleans on December 12, 1970 was recorded but never released. The guy that has it wants a kings ransom.
The best psychedelic blues band to ever come down the pike w/ honorable mention going to the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Would have loved to hear them in a jam session.
Jim died a year later...I love every album but... LA women is my favorite...it so sad we will never hear anything from that album live...riders...LA women...love her madly... The changeling...been down so long...Crawling king snake... Hiaasen‘s-house..and .L’America
THE DOORS AT FULL FORCE! Also, their version of "Break on Though" here is about the best live version I've ever heard. Jim stood perfectly still & just sang his soul out. No dancing, no wise cracks, no vamping, no clowning around, just straight up hard rockin' from the Venice's fantastic four! Anyone who said that the Doors deteriorated in the end didn't hear this.
Certainly cool live Doors music. Video footage seems to be a clever patch up of Jim singing another song (?) but, cleverly done and takes nothing away from a great performance.
@@roycediamond6461 I don't think he meant they were both at the Isle of Wight! Just that he saw them both. So did I, as it happens. You can't really compare them. They were different things. Both great in their way.
The synchronization on this song is definitely off by probably about 1 or 2 seconds but it's still enjoyable. Jim Morrison at this time was facing 3 yrs at hard labor in a Florida prison for allegedly exposing himself and breaking obscenity laws. People were interviewed about Jim exposing himself and some people said he did expose himself, some people said he didn't and some people said it looked like he put his hand down his pants and stuck his finger out from his fly area. To this day it's still up for debate if he did expose himself and did he really die in France ? The French authorities never released any death certificate and they said they never saw Jim's body. I love the Doors music and I thought that Jim Morrison was 1 fantastic front man ! All I can say is R.I.P. Jim Morrison 🙏🏼
Morrison's singing is spectacular in this show. Loved Densmore's drumming on this track. Jim Morrison y the folleeeeeetttttt amigoteeeeeessssss míooooooosssss unos de siempre
the honorable elijah Jim Morrison says the future uncertain and the end is always near ... I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer... Must be one of the greatest lines in rock history
Jim’s voice sounds tired here. I love the Doors. Sadly saw them when he was totally wasted at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. There were Hell’s Angels walking around with chains intimidating people.
But they wasn't close at all not one of them went to his funeral only his manager went that's not a close friend he was there ticket to fame and fortune all he was to rest of band they all complained about him ran him down that's no friend at all
@@jonbr3 Ray knew and talked to manager before manger left for Paris anyways its one of my fbest bands I w*'ll alwazs stick up for jim Morrison I hate people put him down he wasn't a fall down but a guy who wrote hits and great tunes they still rock today no matter what anyone says Mr mo jo risin
My favourite & probably the Best talented unique bend ever in rock and roll history of all time! After them Zeppelin , pink Floyd, Beatles , queen , rolling stones , Metallica , iron maiden , nirvana, Oasis , slipknot , coldplay , muse , green day , Linkin park , white stripes , etc.
I was lucky enough to see The Doors at the Isle of Wight - we had a long wait, but it was worth it. They were brilliant!

very inspiring what you said bro.Take care and be strong
I miss Jim.
Just got my first year of sobriety and some other AA's got a band together and we are playin this song. I'm the singer 😅
Hope you’re still doing good, we’re all rooting for you

Let it roll.. baby roll...
Yes it is
Amo a The Doors desde que tenía 12 años ahorita tengo 63 y no dejo de escucharlos
Just amazing.. The year I was born. But I love this band. Their legacy seems endless ❤
Jim lived a hard and fast five years leading up to his death but imagine his life what a thrill it must have been. RIP Jim Morrison
And Ray played bass with his left hand...wow.
...Yes, and the bass line of this song is tiring for the keyboard
Honestly astonishing
Ray's keyboard playing floors me. The introductory bass line especially, is incredible.
Amazing.
I wish I'd been born back then. Golden time of rock'n'roll! Legendary music!
Bloody oath, I agree 👍🇦🇺🍻🍻
