I met Jim Morrison just before his concert in Chicago late 60's. We were panhandling trying to get enough money to buy a ticket and met a girl who painted a portrait of Jim. While we were talking to her, a person approached us and told us that Jim wanted to meet us. So he took us inside of the Chicago Coliseum where she gave him the amazing portrait she had painted. We talked with him for about 10 minutes. As down to earth and kind person I had ever met. He let us into the show for free.
“How do you characterize your music? Does it have a name” 55 years later at the age of 25 the simplest way I can describe the doors is Haunting yet comforting. No other bands really tapped into the same energy The Doors had and it makes them very special in my mind.
Who gives a fuck what dickhead Dick Clark did? These TV networks were retards for not letting music performers who could actually play perform live. What a pathetic joke.
I was 16 when the album came out. I was mesmerized by the long version of Light My Fire. I listened to that album (both sides) every night for at least a year if not more. The doors are still my favorite all time band at age 71.
@@bootsie6714 Actually I found Christ at age 25 and was taught not to condemn but show love for others. Take Christianity to others with a positive loving message not a hell and damn nation aspect. Jim Morrison's songs and words eventually brought me to Christ. Can you proclaim the same?
@@donnvalkenaar9284 - professing christians or false converts like yourself is the reason why people think GOD is a joke..in Mark 1:15 (Bible NKJV) records the inspired summary of Jesus' message as He began His ministry: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Repentance and faith go together because if you believe that Jesus is the Lord Who saves (faith), you have a changed mind about your sin. Do you understand that or not!!? You proved to be a false convert by claiming that junkie Jim Morrison brought you to Jesus Christ, that is a lie from the pit of hell because that demon Morrison was blasphemous and obscene towards GOD. The Bible say that we all are sinners and that we all need a savior. Stopped lying selling your fake christianity. Ps., I'm not condemning anyone I'm just telling the truth!!
Morrison was very high in his offices on La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd. His body guard Babe, was keeping close watch, who was a hells angel. Morrison had his beard and when told I loved his music he said "He's the king, not me," -- calligraphy of Jim's poems on the walls, Elvis Don't be Cruel plays.
Although the Dick Clark interview is very rushed & antiseptic, you see the personalities of the individuals compromising The Doors. The response by Ray as to how he would categorize their music is classic‼️ 🎶🎵🎸🎹⚡️
I was at camp in West Texas, Leakey . At night we could pick up a radio station out of Austin and Light my Fire would send us dancing around the cabin like wild animals. Of course we all pronounced our deep and undying Love for Jim.😊
One of the best rock voices of all time. No auto-tune, no effects, natural, smooth and sultry, yet powerful when necessary. The band was so great too, intellectual real musicians.

One of the amazing things about The Doors is that they don’t look dated. They didn’t really go for fashion fads like most bands of the period. And we all know they don’t sound dated. Their music was so different to everything else- it sets its own time.
@@classiclife7204 Yes, even with the pants! Look at other bands from the summer of ‘67.

Your comment is a testament to just how far the public’s taste has been dumbed down since the 60s. Scott was nowhere near Jim’s league. Insulting to Jim to even compare the two.
I can remember buying my first Doors album when i was 11 in 67 and seeing them on Dick Clark's show. Their music is timeless and will be enjoyed forevermore. No one here gets out alive....
In 2003 I was calling the radio station klos to win tickets to see an interview of the Doors with radio host Jim Ladd. Turns out that the "living room" that Jim Ladd was referring to was the House of Blues in West Hollywood. I won two tickets and went a few days later. We were sitting in a booth and I looked over and saw Ray Manzarek sitting at the bar drinking a Heineken so I went over and struck up a conversation with him. He was such a beautiful man. So accommodating, gracious, and soft spoken. I was 14 in '67 and the Doors were and always will be my all time sentimental favorite band.
@@randytinsman4803 Did you watch the lip sync portions to both songs? It didn't look that out of sync. Plus, both versions were definitely not live. They were exactly the album versions. It's a well-known fact that most of those shows in the old days had their performers lip sync while they piped in music. They still do it, too. Doesn't anyone remember that Ashley Simpson fiasco? Milli Vanilli?
They have a youtube channel. Lots of shows and discussions. Even music lessons. As much as I've always wished to live in those days, it's a pretty cool time to be alive, when I can get a music lesson by the man who wrote the music.
They were such talented musicians and artists. They are timeless. My younger friends in their 30s are also big fans so the music never ends. Such a big testament to their legacy. ❤
I'm a 70 a year-old female who loves listing to the Doors, and the rest that we were so fortunate to be brought up with! I'd hate to say what listening to the Crystal Ship does for me..
Dick: "How do you categorize your music? Does it have a name?" Ray: "Well it's impossible really to put a label on it because of where we are in the music. Being on the inside, you're only of the music and all categories come from the outside. So someone else is going to have to say what our music is because we are our music." Holy...shit. Ray deserves a Nobel prize.
Carlos Arana hypnotic is a good word for these songs and Jim's voice. I find a lot of them have a mixture of a haunting sound with sort of a carnival sound coming from that electric piano. Completely unique sound still today.
I love the doors they are pretty unique, but I also listen to today's music you can find other excellent groups The main difference between the doors and the new groups is the commercialization of their sound, the tours, the contracts, the media, the radio Today we live in an Era that's full with new genres and sub-genres
@@ChrisInDaMistWithDaMix - Absolutely totally agree 100%. There this little indie record company I found a few months ago called Human sounds, very very small company, I mean to the point where I would be surprised if they sell any music today, and I could not believe how great some of the bands are on that label. And I'm talking new sounds, new genres I never heard before in my life. It really all comes down to commercialization, the promotion, media, radio none of what these guys get. Here it is....Here's a link to them........humansoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/
The guys were so calm and mellow in their responses. They had no idea what was going to happen in their future. They produced some epic music that has lasted for generations, but it tragically all ended way too soon.
No way man, it ended exactly when it was supposed to end since the beginning of time that’s when it was supposed to end. Jim Morrison said he wanted to be like a comet, everybody looked up in the sky and went “wow“, then it was gone…
Right on! But hey they are still reincarnating! And can you believe what Ray said? Going within . . . following that reasoning "Lighting the fire" has to do with lighting the spiritual flame within each one of us. And within our spiritual selves we find our energy opposite: female-male , negative-positive. When we go within and awaken the serpent-theSpirit, the kundalini (call it what you will) that enfolds us in an upward spiral with our opposite and we initiate and regenerate! Heard this song in the sixties; but now, with wisdom I would bet bottom dollar that this is what these Doors meant. Now I am pretty sure that two of them were initiates but not Philosophers not Regenerated, which is why we are all here to achieve with each reincarnation . . . until one is incarnated - comes back o help out. Go figure . . .
Read the rolling stone article on the Doors written by Marilyn Manson. He explains: "They were odd, not actually part of any scene. The reason the Doors still fit in today is because they never fit in in the first place"
As a 9 year old, they were my favorite band.. little did I know the summer of ‘67 would find me staying in the same hotel in Tucson on a family trip as the band!! Got to meet them, and got autographs, including left and right hand signatures from Sir James!!
This song is so sad, so haunting, so beautiful. You can close your eyes and listen as it takes you on a journey of sadness, of loss, of love, of memories. When you see the genius and magic that was The Doors you will realize that magic does happen and this band was it. They came and went so fast but look what they left behind for us all to hear for all time. I love music and will say The Doors stand out as the most unique of them all. To this day people are drawn to them as if it was 1969 all over again, that says something as to their words and songs.
I guess I'm just too much the product of my times. I only hear a trace of regret that "she" likes downers and "he" likes uppers. It's like, "Laters, chick!"
This era of music was just magical, there was so many very good bands breaking new music, new sound, and great writing, I think myself this era was just unparalleled in rock.
Did Pink Floyd ever do American Bandstand?? Or did the musicians have to be American?? But The Doors and Pink Floyd I think are part of psychedelic rock!! If I’m wrong tell me don’t just say “Man you suck!!! You don’t know anything about music!” I won’t give u a minute of my breath if you’re rude! Plain and simple
You are quite correct!! The greatest era ever in Rock was the 60s and very early 70s.Sadly,it will never be repeated again. Damn how i miss it so!! Today's music? Do they really consider that music??
@@pgh1all1 "Do they really consider that music??" Well yes, sadly for them it is. We had real artists not computer tecs with a sense of rhythm making electronic noises, and squeaky high pitched voices, lol.
According to the biography of The Doors by one of their associates Jim was a very difficult person to deal with. He had a serious drinking problem and became very belligerent when he was drunk. He came to many of his concerts so drunk that the venues he was playing said that they would never book The Doors again.
@@barrygreenstein8383 yes his ego was getting a little out of hand that you can see when you watch him off stage! He was probably his own worst enemy and on self destruct, shame because we’ve all missed out on the things he hadn’t written and performed yet!
@@barrygreenstein8383Barry, not true in the early days, like when this video was filmed. I was at their performance at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, summer of '66. Jim was not drunk and sung beautifully. Jim's drinking affecting their concerts did not happen until later, late '68 or '69.
This isnt the best version but this is the song i was referring to. He also sang for the doors and did the best job. ruclips.net/video/t6n2IOOXKEM/видео.html
Ray Manzarek’s voice came close. At a concert in Holland in 1968, while touring with the Jefferson Airplane, Jim Morrison passed out just before the Doors were to perform. So Ray also handled the vocals as well. That performance was available on VHS and later on DVD.
Jim Morrison was so unique, but what I love about him the most is his sense of humor and intelligence. The fact that he loved talking about deep topics is very rare today, people just want to be entertained and amused until they fall asleep or pass out while others are bored to death.
That song, "The Crystal Ship," was _the_ song that drew me into The Doors. One day I was playing the B side of a bunch of singles, and "The Crystal Ship" was the B side to "Light My Fire." I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I have experienced this a few times in my life, when I heard a song, and I couldn't get enough of it. I'd have to listen to it again and again and again. It's as if the song is so close to perfect, I'll understand something new about melody itself, to bring me to a new state or something. That did that to me. To this day, all these years later, it gets right to my bones. It's romantic and poetic.
Jim was a TRULY GIFTED TALENT..and had a very HIGH IQ(very intelligent)..and he was a REBEL JUNKY The world lost a true genius when he died in 1971 LOVE AND MISS YOU JIM✌
Yes we did. We never knew what guests would be there at AB filmings but The Doors were monumental. Everyone went nuts. At school Monday, friends flipped to find-out they could have been there. AB was off the radar as something that kids paid much attn to--we could have seen a teeny bopper star, Herman's Hermits, the Fifth Dimension, Johnny Rivers, or somebody huge like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. But not the top rockers. The year before, I'd been told to let Rudee Vallee sit next to me on the bleachers for a photo--my English teacher was so excited bc the photo was on the 1st page of the LATimes View section--He was a famous crooner and movie star in the 1930s. Starred in the Preston Sturges movie "The Palm Beach Story"--on TCM a lot. But at school, it was considered funny that we did this on our weekends. While being on TV was cool, this was a Sat aft show, not prime time. Sometimes, people laughed at us, called us teenyboppers. We saw Bobby Vee. No one was impressed. We had autographs of Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Merry Go-Round, Hard Times...again, no one was impressed. The Doors were there? Now we were cool! They were a local band, but they were at the pinnacle--respected for their rock & roll, gaining celebrity, everyone had their 1st album and would buy Strange Days. It was THE music at parties. We knew they were going to be huge around the world.
Incredibly sophisticated chord structure/ arrangement with a perfectly matched lyric/vocal performance - just stunning and from their masterful DEBUT...
That's one of their greatest achievements, everything is in balance you can hear everyone's contributions without one person overlooked. Nothing is overwhelming it's all just so perfect.
I miss this energy! Thank you beauty full souls for kicking the door open and saying come in... this is the way... Be transformed by the transformative sound and vibration of the true self unencumbered by BS and judgment. I love you and hope you know that now, wherever you are💚
Love how Dick Clark always would ask a question to all band members. I recently came across a video of Bon Jovi in 1984. They were nobody’s then and he made sure he spoke to every member. That’s just who Mr. Clark was and he genuinely loved music
The doors intended their music to last for 100 years, it's close to being 50years I'm pretty sure and I know for a fact it'll last or 50 more years to come and onwards
Sorry to be so blunt and literal, but he is dead and resides either in heaven or hell but wait I took it all so literally sorry his music as it seems is immortal. What a unique sound they made in that psychedelic era. He is definitely a great poet in my eyes.
Dick Clark asks Manzarek, "How do you categorize your music? Does it have a name?" Manzarek answers, "Well, it's impossible to put a label on it because of where we are in the music, being on the inside. You're only of the music, and all categories have to come from the outside. So someone else is going to have to say what our music is rather than us, because we are our music." Anyone capable of such a complex and pretentious response should have no trouble playing three instruments at once.
It’s amazing that Dick Clark snatched The Doors on American Bandstand before their debut with the Ed Sullivan Show.They weren’t even asked to change any words to the song Light My Fire by Dick Clark.
“Girl we couldn’t get much better” just makes no sense. Jim was right in defying Sullivan’s archaic censorship demands. Funnier still that they agreed to his wishes and basically said fuck it anyway. Good on Clark for seemingly not even thinking about it one way or the other.
@Tony Harris "How do you characterize your music, does it have a name?" Trying to put the Doors' music in a box and label it,,,, never ever do that! Love it when Jim says "The west is the best". He had a lot of good bands on his show, but he was pretty 'straight', square.
I absolutely love The Crystal Ship.. The Doors and especially Jim are brilliant. I'd have given anything to have seen them live. So sad we lost him so young 😢
I grew up listening to The Doors not knowing what they looked like so when I saw the footage of their concert in Hollywood Bowl, what a surprise I felt to see the mesmerizing and stunning Jim Morrison backed up by the hugely talented Ray, Robbie, and John. Their music and they themselves are timeless.
I'm addicted to the doors, my poor wife is sick of listening to the same thing over and over again, she fall's asleep whenever we are in a long drive, but when love me two times plays and the part Jim Morrison let's the " Oh Yeah" scream out, I always do it as loud as I can and scare the living crap out of my wife! LoL!!!😂😂😂
I’m perfectly happy to enjoy the Doors and their interactions; who cares if it’s not live… I’m in love with the song and so happy to see them in all their glorious~ness!!! 💗
In an interview in 1967 a reporter asked Jim what it was like to be singer for the band and he said: "It was a like a bowstring being drawn back for 22 years and then suddenly released."
A poetic genius who left us way too early in life 😢
Age 27.
Lost gems like this are the best thing about RUclips.
Brian, yes they really are. Love it.
its the closest thing we will ever have to a time machine

Exactly why I don’t pay for cable!
I consider The Crystal Ship a masterpiece.
Hey, don't say anything like I do. People will hate you... that's if you care.
No lies here
me too...=)
It's extremely underrated
The days are bright and filled with pain, Enclose me in your gentle reign'. Great lyricist!
jimmy was sooo handsome may he rest in peace
Can we just appreciate the fact that during the interview, Dick Clark talked to every member of the band basically giving them equal speaking time?
He treated all groups with respect. He never talked down to them or thought he was above them.
You mean they aren't supposed to
Morrison seemed a lot cooler with Clark than some others i saw him being interviewed by
He was a mensch
Good point 👍

@@mcarlkv53no, he's not! Sorry for disappointing you but, it's quite the opposite!
❤ he is alive in 2024!!
Witness protection! 😅
Ray's answer is one of the most intellectual things I've ever heard, he was really the brain of the band. RIP Ray, I miss you everyday 💜
That is so true dude!! PLUS, I would have let Ray eat crackers in my bed any day or night.. Phyllis Ortiz
The dude was a genius flat out.
@@phyllisortiz3807 me too!
In 2003 I was calling the radio station klos to win tickets to see an interview of the Doors with radio host Jim Ladd. Turns out that the "living room" that Jim Ladd was referring to was the House of Blues in West Hollywood. I won two tickets and went a few days later. We were sitting in a booth and I looked over and saw Ray Manzarek sitting at the bar drinking a Heineken so I went over and struck up a conversation with him. He was such a beautiful man. So accommodating, gracious, and soft spoken. I was 14 in '67 and the Doors were and always will be my all time sentimental favorite band.
@@mackydog99 Ray was not only a musical genius, but an egoless lover of music. He was, by all accounts, a genuinely good man. RIP, Ray.
“We are our music”is an absolute genius answer therefore the doors are open pure emotion mind body soul
They were so good that the drums started before John Densmore even sat down!!!
Marvelous Marv Don’t spoil it man
@@evanowens1346 Jim dies at the end.
LOL
The video and sound are out of sync.
@@randytinsman4803 Did you watch the lip sync portions to both songs? It didn't look that out of sync. Plus, both versions were definitely not live. They were exactly the album versions. It's a well-known fact that most of those shows in the old days had their performers lip sync while they piped in music. They still do it, too. Doesn't anyone remember that Ashley Simpson fiasco? Milli Vanilli?
I grew up with the Doors in the 60"s since I am a baby boomer. Nothing like them and there never will be RIP Jim and Ray!
So lucky to have lived through not only 1 but 2 great eras, the 60s and 70s. Very jealous!
Omg lucky! I grew up in the 90s and early 00s and I still love the Doors!!
They have a youtube channel. Lots of shows and discussions. Even music lessons. As much as I've always wished to live in those days, it's a pretty cool time to be alive, when I can get a music lesson by the man who wrote the music.
never say never
Jealous for you though buddy 😒born in 90s but still feel like i am from that age bcoz they flow though my mind 😁😉🌊
Man, what a life Dick Clark had seeing all these bands, etc!
He introduced them like a boss. So did Dave Letterman in the 90s. He had some amazing ones like Warren Zevon's final performance ever.
I know,he had cool job.
Their lyrics are very lucid and surrealistic. Their music is timeless!
They were such talented musicians and artists. They are timeless. My younger friends in their 30s are also big fans so the music never ends. Such a big testament to their legacy. ❤
Morrison does really have a great voice.
He is miming though! Must have been a pain in the ass having to mime for TV. You just feel like a plonker doing it- but needs must!
@@DavidAnthonyLee especially when you high as a Georgia pine.. 🤣
It's amazing that he sings on key live (not here), with ZERO vocal training and not being "a musician" per se....
@@jefsch7 He really let the music move him. When he was on, he was unstoppable.
@@Hawken707 Rush
What a legend Dick Clark is. And you could tell The Doors were special early on. What charisma Morrison had.
The West is the best
Beatles or Stones? The Doors!
Elvis or Dylan? Jim Morrison!
Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel? John Cougar Mellencamp!
Zep
I agree. I always preferred Morrison over McCartney or Lennon.
Hands down the Doors for me.
I'm a 70 a year-old female who loves listing to the Doors, and the rest that we were so fortunate to be brought up with! I'd hate to say what listening to the Crystal Ship does for me..
Now you have me very curious. What does it do for you?
Say it, Don't hold back, Flower Child!
Hello Belinda. Same here. How lucky we are to have lived in that era.
Dick: "How do you categorize your music? Does it have a name?"
Ray: "Well it's impossible really to put a label on it because of where we are in the music. Being on the inside, you're only of the music and all categories come from the outside. So someone else is going to have to say what our music is because we are our music."
Holy...shit.
Ray deserves a Nobel prize.
In memory of my daughter with Austin Blane Tomlinson.. her name Raven Rayann Tomlinson..aka stone
Acid insight. Brilliant!
I thought it was a bit wordy. filled with a little BS lol a better answer would have been it's spiritual music
agreed ~
always a dumbass who has to type the lyrics down in comments,,,,,,,like we didnt just hear them say it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how original
Jim's voice is so unique, It's so profound and projects feeling. His songs are often both hypnotic and reassuringly pleasant.
Thanks to the roundtable of script / lyric writers he worked for
I cant believe he thought he had a bad singing voice
Carlos Arana hypnotic is a good word for these songs and Jim's voice. I find a lot of them have a mixture of a haunting sound with sort of a carnival sound coming from that electric piano. Completely unique sound still today.
Che voce ipnotica
And sensual.
Like Jimi Hendrix, the Doors were way, way ahead of their time. Totally original in style and their music was the height of creativity!!!
It is literally impossible for someone to be" ahead of their time", it is a meaningless phrase.
@@jaygrannell858 Of their time more accurate
@@jaygrannell858 The implication is 'they were artistically more creative and innovative than their peers.'
Yeah, whenever they could drag Morrison out of a Jim Beam bottle.
@@Celticman197 nothing wrong with him beam ! If You knew what jim was dealing with your comment would not be so harsh..
down to earth interviewer, rare these days! amazing!
"The west is the best" perfect reponse
Always the poet.
Don’t forget Ray Manzarek aswell, his response was very poetic aswell
"Bullet strikes the helmet's head" You don't hear that kind of literary genius anymore in music.
Couldn't exactly say it was the drugs and sex...
@@tomlynntigard yeah you do lmao you just dont look for it
This music never gets old, it sounds better today Nov,2019
I love the doors they are pretty unique, but I also listen to today's music
you can find other excellent groups
The main difference between the doors and the new groups is the commercialization of their sound, the tours, the contracts, the media, the radio
Today we live in an Era that's full with new genres and sub-genres
Word
@@ChrisInDaMistWithDaMix - Absolutely totally agree 100%. There this little indie record company I found a few months ago called Human sounds, very very small company, I mean to the point where I would be surprised if they sell any music today, and I could not believe how great some of the bands are on that label. And I'm talking new sounds, new genres I never heard before in my life. It really all comes down to commercialization, the promotion, media, radio none of what these guys get. Here it is....Here's a link to them........humansoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/
Sounds better everytime is playing
Christopher Castillo Well, no one will ever sound like The Doors, even nowadays, but especially in their time. They were ahead of it big time.
What a great interviewer, Dick was!
Lyrics are almost mystical, like whispers of a time and place lost in ancient times ❤
The guys were so calm and mellow in their responses. They had no idea what was going to happen in their future. They produced some epic music that has lasted for generations, but it tragically all ended way too soon.
Многие рок-группы вовремя не погибли..
No way man, it ended exactly when it was supposed to end since the beginning of time that’s when it was supposed to end. Jim Morrison said he wanted to be like a comet, everybody looked up in the sky and went “wow“, then it was gone…
@@christophertiredofbs8514sounds just like Janis Joplin too; sadly both⚡️⭐️💫
@@christophertiredofbs8514 а многие проскочили..
Right on! But hey they are still reincarnating! And can you believe what Ray said? Going within . . . following that reasoning "Lighting the fire" has to do with lighting the spiritual flame within each one of us. And within our spiritual selves we find our energy opposite: female-male , negative-positive. When we go within and awaken the serpent-theSpirit, the kundalini (call it what you will) that enfolds us in an upward spiral with our opposite and we initiate and regenerate! Heard this song in the sixties; but now, with wisdom I would bet bottom dollar that this is what these Doors meant. Now I am pretty sure that two of them were initiates but not Philosophers not Regenerated, which is why we are all here to achieve with each reincarnation . . . until one is incarnated - comes back o help out. Go figure . . .
Love the way Densmore manages to hit the drums at 4:51 before he's anywhere near them.
Lol. Good observation. No wonder it sounds just like the record.😄
You bet it is a playback
@@ricklopez7151 perhaps his 'foot hit the bass drum pedal" right in time "being he's the drummer,..or maybe not But it's a close one
@@billyidol2115 It's the same recording, but mixed differently, open your ears, idiot.
...though it sounded a little too good given how the stage looks regarding acoustics.
These songs broke ground 50 years ago and they still feel ground-breaking.
Timeless !
Except that you missed one thing... They 'are' ground-breaking.
This is so true. Fine art, pure rock and roll
Read the rolling stone article on the Doors written by Marilyn Manson. He explains: "They were odd, not actually part of any scene. The reason the Doors still fit in today is because they never fit in in the first place"
I got to see the Doors when this record broke in LA early '67. No band quite like them before or since.
The Doors will always be my #1 rock and roll band. I listen to their music since I was 13 years old and now Im 44 years old. Still love it!!
As a 9 year old, they were my favorite band.. little did I know the summer of ‘67 would find me staying in the same hotel in Tucson on a family trip as the band!! Got to meet them, and got autographs, including left and right hand signatures from Sir James!!
Lucky man !!!
Very nice 😊
How very cool!🎉
Cool!!
Did he write with both hands ??? Best wishes from Durham England
Unbelievable, that this once happened to the world.
I miss these wonderful melodies and charme. Genius.
True, The Doors are unique and totally original - there’s no obvious predecessor or successor, how did it happen?
well said. Feel the same way, like it was actually real and people experienced it. It seems like another world for now
John Densmore was a criminally underrated drummer. He started drumming here on Light My Fire before he got back to his kit.
😂
Very true
“underrated” 🙄 Just stfu
🔥 🥁🤣
That’s the mark of how good he was !!
Dick Clark and the Ricky Nelson's family were the ones that brought Rock n Roll to the mainstream of America. Rest well, fine man!
This song is so sad, so haunting, so beautiful. You can close your eyes and listen as it takes you on a journey of sadness, of loss, of love, of memories. When you see the genius and magic that was The Doors you will realize that magic does happen and this band was it. They came and went so fast but look what they left behind for us all to hear for all time.
I love music and will say The Doors stand out as the most unique of them all. To this day people are drawn to them as if it was 1969 all over again, that says something as to their words and songs.
I guess I'm just too much the product of my times. I only hear a trace of regret that "she" likes downers and "he" likes uppers. It's like, "Laters, chick!"
It's about getting stoned 🙄
I also think when we compare them to now it's unquestionably "the end"
What an incredible voice 👏
I agree
The Lizard King could mystically drop into a trance that the audience could share with him.
This era of music was just magical, there was so many very good bands breaking new music, new sound, and great writing, I think myself this era was just unparalleled in rock.
An lsd slight return if this era happened around 1992...
Did Pink Floyd ever do American Bandstand?? Or did the musicians have to be American?? But The Doors and Pink Floyd I think are part of psychedelic rock!! If I’m wrong tell me don’t just say “Man you suck!!! You don’t know anything about music!” I won’t give u a minute of my breath if you’re rude! Plain and simple
You are quite correct!! The greatest era ever in Rock was the 60s and very early 70s.Sadly,it will never be repeated again. Damn how i miss it so!! Today's music? Do they really consider that music??
@@pgh1all1 "Do they really consider that music??"
Well yes, sadly for them it is. We had real artists not computer tecs with a sense of rhythm making electronic noises, and squeaky high pitched voices, lol.
Back then, we had great pop, rock, and Motown. We didn't know, at the time, it would morph into electronic garbage in the next century.
The Doors were unquestionably one of the best musical acts in American history!
In the top 3
Oh boy, were they ever an act.
I'll drink to that
Unparalleled American treasure.
Jim really was the most beautiful human being he was so handsome
According to the biography of The Doors by one of their associates Jim was a very difficult person to deal with. He had a serious drinking problem and became very belligerent when he was drunk. He came to many of his concerts so drunk that the venues he was playing said that they would never book The Doors again.
@@barrygreenstein8383 yes his ego was getting a little out of hand that you can see when you watch him off stage! He was probably his own worst enemy and on self destruct, shame because we’ve all missed out on the things he hadn’t written and performed yet!
That was his Jimbo persona.
@@barrygreenstein8383Barry, not true in the early days, like when this video was filmed. I was at their performance at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, summer of '66. Jim was not drunk and sung beautifully. Jim's drinking affecting their concerts did not happen until later, late '68 or '69.
That maybe was a blessing and a curse, the way it ended up.
No one ever has or ever will have a voice like Jim.
Diane M Tuttle Danzig?
Scott weiland had some similar sounding songs
This isnt the best version but this is the song i was referring to. He also sang for the doors and did the best job. ruclips.net/video/t6n2IOOXKEM/видео.html
Ray Manzarek’s voice came close. At a concert in Holland in 1968, while touring with the Jefferson Airplane, Jim Morrison passed out just before the Doors were to perform. So Ray also handled the vocals as well. That performance was available on VHS and later on DVD.
@@erinhand I don't understand
I have loved Morrison and the doors my entire life
Jim morrison was the best ! Solo good looking they're songs still blow. My mind I'm a old hipster from carmel calif
Jim Morrison was so unique, but what I love about him the most is his sense of humor and intelligence. The fact that he loved talking about deep topics is very rare today, people just want to be entertained and amused until they fall asleep or pass out while others are bored to death.
A very special song. One of their best!
That song, "The Crystal Ship," was _the_ song that drew me into The Doors. One day I was playing the B side of a bunch of singles, and "The Crystal Ship" was the B side to "Light My Fire." I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I have experienced this a few times in my life, when I heard a song, and I couldn't get enough of it. I'd have to listen to it again and again and again. It's as if the song is so close to perfect, I'll understand something new about melody itself, to bring me to a new state or something. That did that to me. To this day, all these years later, it gets right to my bones. It's romantic and poetic.
Yea, it's that good.
His lyrics were incredible He was well read and sadly self destructive Lived too vast died too young
Jim was a TRULY GIFTED TALENT..and had a very HIGH IQ(very intelligent)..and he was a REBEL JUNKY
The world lost a true genius when he died in 1971
LOVE AND MISS YOU JIM✌
I know exactly what you mean
YES! Yes! You put it so well. Perfect.
Amazing how ahead they were and how well the music holds up. Crystal Ship was profound.
The POETRY of it all....wow
Out of all the Doors songs, Crystal Ship is my favorite.
@@TheIrishrogue68 mine, as well. Simply incredible!
People in that studio have no idea that these moments were historical!
EVA FARIOU I love the square looking kid who likes the crystal ship . Wonder where he is today? lol
@@barbaramacker6861 the what now?
@@barbaramacker6861 Although quite square looking, he was 'experimenting' as it was called. Hopefully he didn't get drafted a month after this show!
BritIronRebel just tell them your gay like Jim did
Yes we did. We never knew what guests would be there at AB filmings but The Doors were monumental. Everyone went nuts. At school Monday, friends flipped to find-out they could have been there.
AB was off the radar as something that kids paid much attn to--we could have seen a teeny bopper star, Herman's Hermits, the Fifth Dimension, Johnny Rivers, or somebody huge like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. But not the top rockers.
The year before, I'd been told to let Rudee Vallee sit next to me on the bleachers for a photo--my English teacher was so excited bc the photo was on the 1st page of the LATimes View section--He was a famous crooner and movie star in the 1930s. Starred in the Preston Sturges movie "The Palm Beach Story"--on TCM a lot. But at school, it was considered funny that we did this on our weekends.
While being on TV was cool, this was a Sat aft show, not prime time. Sometimes, people laughed at us, called us teenyboppers. We saw Bobby Vee. No one was impressed. We had autographs of Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Merry Go-Round, Hard Times...again, no one was impressed. The Doors were there? Now we were cool! They were a local band, but they were at the pinnacle--respected for their rock & roll, gaining celebrity, everyone had their 1st album and would buy Strange Days. It was THE music at parties. We knew they were going to be huge around the world.
What a fantastic compliment by Dick Clark at the end of the video!
The greatest band in the history of rock and roll!
One of the greatest
Ralph wants to say-"Really,Randy? Really? You couldn't just let me have this 1 muthafuckin' moment?!"
I got your back,Ralph. 😎
Incredibly sophisticated chord structure/ arrangement with a perfectly matched lyric/vocal performance - just stunning and from their masterful DEBUT...
That's one of their greatest achievements, everything is in balance you can hear everyone's contributions without one person overlooked. Nothing is overwhelming it's all just so perfect.
True , the music shines just as much as the words .
I miss this energy! Thank you beauty full souls for kicking the door open and saying come in... this is the way...
Be transformed by the transformative sound and vibration of the true self unencumbered by BS and judgment. I love you and hope you know that now, wherever you are💚
Love how Dick Clark always would ask a question to all band members. I recently came across a video of Bon Jovi in 1984. They were nobody’s then and he made sure he spoke to every member. That’s just who Mr. Clark was and he genuinely loved music
that was always nice for them and us.
I was a teenager in the 60’s amazing music from that time period and still appreciated today the Doors had to be one of the best
I liked the fact that he interviewed each member of the group and not just Jim or Ray as potential spokesmen.
This is perhaps the Doors' most beautiful song. Great lyrics, great instrumentals, great vocals by Morrison.
The greatest edpecislly when played on big Fender Amps or commercial sound systems at high volume
In December of 2024 I am gonna see a doors tribute band.I am so happy.it's gonna be so awsome.😊😊😊
Miss you Jim - thank you for your performance - love is more than just for skin
Even though Jim left us before he was even 30 years old, he’s immortal. 🙏
The doors intended their music to last for 100 years, it's close to being 50years I'm pretty sure and I know for a fact it'll last or 50 more years to come and onwards
@@Eclipse52776 Absolutely. True art never dies.
One of the 27ers .....a tragic, wonderful group of singers....
ruclips.net/video/XBZIDNDU23s/видео.html
@Grilled Cheese Sandwich it's over 50 years but I hear ya. Doors will never die
Sorry to be so blunt and literal, but he is dead and resides either in heaven or hell but wait I took it all so literally sorry his music as it seems is immortal. What a unique sound they made in that psychedelic era. He is definitely a great poet in my eyes.
Drums and guitar were magically playing without human intervention... Love The Doors
Riders on the storm is my favorite doors song. Ms. Harper Stacey.
I never forget this song!
I think sometimes the quality of Jim's voice gets overlooked. He really had a full rich voice
I understand he was really into Sinatra.
I don't think so, The doors sold more than 110 million records so people recognize how unique they all were!!
Overlooked?
I hope you’re joking.
I don’t even know what you could mean.
I'll go further and say that Jim Morrison is one of the greatest rock singers of all time. He's in my top 5.
Yes and wrote great songs like 'Waiting for the Sun', 'People are Strange', etc.
Amazing how Ray could play the organ, the Rhodes bass, and the piano all at the same time! I guess we'll never know how he did it.
The music comes through Ray. It's up to us to figure out how he does it.😁
Dick Clark asks Manzarek, "How do you categorize your music? Does it have a name?" Manzarek answers, "Well, it's impossible to put a label on it because of where we are in the music, being on the inside. You're only of the music, and all categories have to come from the outside. So someone else is going to have to say what our music is rather than us, because we are our music." Anyone capable of such a complex and pretentious response should have no trouble playing three instruments at once.
It’s amazing that Dick Clark snatched The Doors on American Bandstand before their debut with the Ed Sullivan Show.They weren’t even asked to change any words to the song Light My Fire by Dick Clark.
Right at least Dick didn't do that.
Well they weren’t playing it live was clearly a sync. With no alternative recording they couldn’t have changed the words.
“Girl we couldn’t get much better” just makes no sense. Jim was right in defying Sullivan’s archaic censorship demands. Funnier still that they agreed to his wishes and basically said fuck it anyway. Good on Clark for seemingly not even thinking about it one way or the other.
@Tony Harris "How do you characterize your music, does it have a name?" Trying to put the Doors' music in a box and label it,,,, never ever do that! Love it when Jim says "The west is the best". He had a lot of good bands on his show, but he was pretty 'straight', square.
Dick would have accepted girl why don’t you bite my wire
I absolutely love The Crystal Ship.. The Doors and especially Jim are brilliant. I'd have given anything to have seen them live. So sad we lost him so young 😢
Born in ‘64, the Doors songs have been part of my life. Watching this breaks my heart. I wish we could turn the world back to these days.
Pure music! Amazing! Been in love 💕 since 1990!
Jim had the best voice of all the bands and still does God bless the doors
He had a good voice, but I have to go with Justin Hayward.
@@jamesmcdonald7881🙄
I grew up listening to The Doors not knowing what they looked like so when I saw the footage of their concert in Hollywood Bowl, what a surprise I felt to see the mesmerizing and stunning Jim Morrison backed up by the hugely talented Ray, Robbie, and John. Their music and they themselves are timeless.
I love this song. Doors were jus so different amazing sound. Love jims voice and Ray plays that piano n organ so amazing
Two wonderful songs. Love me two times, too.
The Doors were ahead of their time and one of the best of all time.
I'm not so sure......given that music has gone down hill since the 70's.
“The Crystal Ship” is such a beautiful song. One of the first songs I heard by them
...Music from 50's 60's and 70's..Were the BEST MUSIC EVER MADE.!..The Doors without Exception.!
psychedelic and progressive rock music are simply the greatest of all
Doors are a legend you don't forget ❤
I'm addicted to the doors, my poor wife is sick of listening to the same thing over and over again, she fall's asleep whenever we are in a long drive, but when love me two times plays and the part Jim Morrison let's the " Oh Yeah" scream out, I always do it as loud as I can and scare the living crap out of my wife! LoL!!!😂😂😂
"Dennis the Menace"! Why don't you play some of HER favorites - just for fun!
Remember,Dennis,you have to sleep SOMETIME.....................
I’m perfectly happy to enjoy the Doors and their interactions; who cares if it’s not live…
I’m in love with the song and so happy to see them in all their glorious~ness!!!
💗
3 instruments, no auto tune. no fuzz pedals, just talent.
It's a backing track though
The Doors...no one like them since. Jim, my lizard kimg, you left us far too soon!❤
Crystal Ship..my...this is GORGEOUS...first line alone before you slip into unconsciousness...WOW POETRY!! LOVE THAT SHIT....MOTOWN FAN
I really like how Dick Clark interviews the whole band and not just the singer
Simply brilliant. I just love The Doors
Greatest lead Singer Ever
In an interview in 1967 a reporter asked Jim what it was like to be singer for the band and he said: "It was a like a bowstring being drawn back for 22 years and then suddenly released."
Era simplemente genial jim morrison
Oscar Perez god dam Jim
Epic reply....only Jim could say that
but the arrow came down...
