Got to see the Doors in 1967. I was 16. Doors were still a local LA band at that point. Had not gone national/global yet. Phenomenal show. Still haven't recovered and now I'm 71.
@@patcom1013 Yes. The band created an eerie atmosphere. Where I saw them there was a circular "Theatre in the round" in LA.. Stage was going round and round. Started out with Manzarek on organ droning. Then drummer Densmore came in adding a subdued bell sound on cymbal and the two continued with their hypnotic drone. Then suddenly, guitar player Kreuger intruded a shrieking feedback scream. At that point only 3 musicians on the stage but I noted the extreme clarity of their sound and its remarkable volume and power. Finally Morrison came striding down the aisle taking to the stage smoking a joint. He was clearly drunk. He held on to the mic stand for dear life as the stage continued round and round. He looked like he would fall down were there no mic stand to hold onto. Suddenly, he lept into the air with his shamanistic scream launching into "Back Door Man". Will never forget that.
Saw them at winterland in San Francisco 1967. My favorite band growing up. Having dinner with my parents wasn't the same after that. I am 71 now and i believe that they werw just getting started.
In addition to their music somehow sounds fresh after you haven't heard a song in a while, it's astounding how you can actually see small clips of Jim posted by young women today, all over the world, saying how hot he is.
See Jim's grave in Paris, France if you get a chance. It was more interesting in the 1980s. He was mostly forgotten then but mostly Americans visited. I went to his grave in Pere la Chaise or something like that cemetery in 1987. Almost got arrested! I straightened up his marble bust (later stolen) and the lady with the facility called the Gendarme on me! That is the national police of France. They did nothing as we left.
Some people are destined for immortality. And indeed Jim Morrison is one such soul. Always remain that shining rockstar that went too soon. In all- 5 years; 9 studio albums and 473 concerts and yet half a century later The Doors continues to ''Light my fire''. So many nights i smoked a spliff, listened to the rain and Riders on the Storm. Thanks for the memories Jim Morrison.
Morrison was the first crooner in Rock. He admired Frank Sinatra and to me, he was that singer for the younger generation. Just an incredible, natural singing voice.
Yes he was he was an artist in its purest sense with each passing generation we have less ability to not be conforming to societies norms now with the internet and social media that’s all it is is everyone trying to tell everyone else how normal they are and how fucked up other people are. It’s a cycle that has us stuck as a species and the quality of the arts and artists we have to offer has dwindled and art has always been a good indicator of the status of our human society...today we have mostly corporate driven garbage and just people who are conforming so much to the social ideals they don’t even realize it..kinda sad really so many more people could have platforms and do but they are all the same and it’s all about conforming and making it big not about the quality of the material or work.
I will tell u something iv never told any other freakin soul,fuck it happy new year!!..I am exciting iv done and seen shit people would not believe!!! Bcus it's so cool.iwas free I was young.best life .
In his interviews, he pauses and answers inane questions with calmness and an intelligence that made him so famous.He was a true poet with natural talent.
One of the greatest bands in music history period! The concepts of this band were pure genius. This performance is a fine example of this. Jim Morrison opened with his beautiful poetry before my homie Robby Krieger started with his infectious riffs and then John Densmore incorporated the beats followed by the great Ray Manzarek on organ who was responsible for that unique sound and style of The doors as we know them! Love Me Two Times and Texas Radio And The Big Beat. Classic doors!
@@muskegobrown JM was an American Poet! You're ALREADY READING Great Literature when you listen to The Doors. MANY Scholars have praised his writing AND College classes are taught about ThecDoors as well! JS! Maybe J. John doesn't appreciate that fact Sir! Hm...Whatever!
Love me two times, I did love my wife two times and many more times. I will always miss and love the wife I lost to cancer. This was one of greatest bands of the 60's and Jim Morrison was the greatest
Nobody will ever be like the doors again. Timeless band who's music will be playing until the end of time. Thanks for the music Jim, Ray, Robby, and John.
Amen James... Jim, Ray, Robby & John ( The Doors ) are and always will be a Quasar of spiritual sound and lyrical vibrating eternity. WOW... Eternity packed into 6 years of a working, touring and album making acid laden music & poetry heavenly journey's.
Yes I agree they were pretty good and the sound and the words were just as Jim would put it (don’t forget your all a bunch of slaves just kidding I got to have a little fun all right ) pretty good pretty good all right and there has been many real firebrands and bards…so he did not bow down and probably don’t want nobody else doing that very same thing …seeking out your own originality …become and during your own dream …dream .act one through to an angry life ,two sublime ,and three ,and I always liked the way it was written As a chapter heading in the book where I much discovered the subject matter ….the Arrow Falls (I even think Jim would have liked that you know it’s got the arrow in it pretty cool OK time to close the door it was late then and it is late now late

Yes always loved his voice. The interesting thing is Robbie Krieger said that they didn't even consider Jim a singer. They weren't sure who was going to sing. They had a diamond in the rough in their midst and didn't realize it early on.
People who think Jim was the main player of The Doors are fools! Each member is incredibly skilled! In order to hold Jim when he is off on a tangent or changing through songs in the middle of a song is incredible! The Doors are a magical band and by far my favourite! The magic they created will echoe through time for it is timeless!!!
A one of a kind; Jim was inspirational to many of us who were looking into the future.....who knows what Jim was experiencing in the relegations of what may have been all too obvious and it perhaps overwhelmed his world..... in any case Jim we will always treasure and remember..... an inspiration that no one else seemed to envision.....
Cuando yo era una niña de 9 años lo escuché por primera vez en casa de un vecino, me gustó mucho y le dije al vecino que me prestara en ese entonces el cassette,nunca lo hizo y yo ni siquiera sabía quiénes eran, años más tarde lo escuché con mi hermano y me dijo lo que sabia sobre ellos, después vi la película y quedé impactada, pero ya me encantaba su música antes de de verla 🥰🥰🥰 Siempre ha sido mi banda favorita ahora cuento ya con 41 años.
The Doors are phenomenal. Jim Morrison is at his best here.The song 🎵 is simply beautiful. I wish the Doors were still around. RIP,Jim you are truly missed 😢 ❤️
Amazing song written by the shy genius of Robbie Krieger their guitar player that became an incredible success. Not only Light my fire but immense music and a very brillant tv performance in Sweden. Fantastic the final part of a pure inspired great Morrison vocal tune..Oh Wow
@@spactick You are right on. Steely Dan is one of my 4 favorite bands along with The Moody Blues, Cat Stevens and The Cars. All four are in the Rock N Roll HOF.
@@22_cincatt ya, nothing against The Doors. They eclipsed The Beatles in 67' with Light My Fire. That song totally dominated the airwaves that summer. I was going to the Fillmore Auditorium here in San Francisco back then and the weekend that The Doors played at The Fillmore you couldn't get in. There was a line down Geary Blvd around the corner down Steiner St. As to Steely Dan? no band has had the musicianship of those guys. Granted they're more jazz oriented, but for the most part they're a rock group. THE best rock/jazz band ever. No one's close
@@spactick Thanks for sharing that story. I would have loved to see that band live! I was only 7 at the time. They have a sound all their own. 4 important pieces to make a great band.
Doors fans are the best. I’ve loved them since I played their best of on my dad’s turntable when I was 7 years old. I didn’t quite get it but I knew I felt some connection to their music. I’m 24 now and have never once looked back. I’ll take their music to my grave. All hail the American Night, I bow to thee oh Lizard King.
Writing this on Jim's birthday. I'm genuinely grateful for all the Music The Doors made, and I wish they were all around today to see the massive impact it has had on so many people and how it influenced others to get into music. Thanks, Jim love ya
I was in my 20’s in the 1980’s when a close friend gave me the first album as a gift. I went home and put it on my turntable and listened to the whole album Break on through to the end. Now I’m 59 and still
Man there are no other country with such rich talents like the great America i mean talk about funk or rock blues and country' music Pop you name it US is very bless by the best Music Sport Movies Actor's you wandering why everyone wants to be America including myself .finally the Doors was awesome
I discovered the doors back in 2010 when I was 14. I'm 26 now and I know every single song, all the lyrics, and more. Over these last 12 years I only met 1 other door fan my age.
Haha I'm 14 now! They were my dad's favourite band and he's got all of Jim's poetry. They're coming up on my favourite band too. I love densmores jazzy drumming and kreigers bluesy guitar.
Saw them live in San Francisco CA... in 1965...I was 10th grade and the Winterland Ballroom was The place to go to see the Rock Stars...Rock was kind of new and it was cool! So..it was a Friday night...Big Party Going On....The Doors were the opening Band...The announcer said.."Ladies & Gentleman...The Hottest Band From LA...The Doors"....They killed it! .....Touch Me Babe...Light My Fire... We didn't know it then, but we were witnessing one of the Greatest Rock Bands Of All Time!

I instantly turn 17 yrs old when I hear Jim Morrison and the Doors! Just Awesome 👌. Now at 71 yrs. young listening I'm searching for that twilight dream, through the expansive, are waves of youth, comes a heart, full of truth.
We are all strange with wierd habits we do on our own. When nobody is looking. How ever some day i hope everyone who reads this. I hope you find someone as strange as you. That type of connection love is when you really understand what it's l8ke being in love.
Everyone is weird and a little crazy it's just a matter of how much. Iconic band at the perfect time, not talking about holding flowers and loving the world but looking at the dark side of life and in the 70s music went that direction whether punk or metal someone had to be dark and " evil" in the 60s love your brother mindset. I believe everyone should love everyone but you have to also accept the dark side of any time
Lete tell y'all a little story..a story that has warmed the heart of this old lady for over 60 years! Around about 1968 or 1969 it was...there came THE voice pouring the radio of my moms brand new Dodge Coronet..All through those magical Summers ..this powerful voice,! It flooded thee souls of us all with a pagan sensuality ..and I had never laid eyes on this Apollo. This man who had the power to impress and wrench feelings out of my 8 year old psyche that I had no concept of but all I knew was that I was in love with this man..he was everything ..his every steamy testosterone infused note he sang assured me that THIS must be what the happy German tourist girls giggled about on the beach..this must be was it meant to feel t pure unadulterated ' sexy' in a package that was a man- long before I even knew what any of that was about (and didn't care).....All I could feel as I heard The Doors play "C'mon ,Baby,Light My Fire" was that this was the very definition to my soul of what a man could make you feel inside and move you so much with just a voice that I fell in love -as best as I could understand it ..With Jim Morrison as hard as I've ever worshipped any man I'm my life.His voice could do things to me through out my life that bordered on shades of embarrassing mental orgasms and he should have come wearing a big sign as he walked around in life warning women that this was the honest to God sexiest man to ever take a breath! And I had never once even seem his gae- not an album cover ..not an Ed Sullivan Show..But I knew them that if he could affect me to my soul (and being nowhere near caring about all that sexy stuff then!). I could totally understand that gift and that power and earthiness was truly magnificent? When I accidentally finally saw a photo somewhere of Jim a couple of years later ,I nearly fell over myself in love all over again! He must truly have fallen from Olympus,this indescribably beautiful Greek God of a male! There will never be anyone who could ever even come close to the incredible talent and raw walking lust God that he was just naturally and born with it along with his poets soul.Too bad he chose to allow it to take on a life of its own and destroyed him with it's power.Mere mortals aren't meant to carry such blinding gifts..it will consume them ...and it was the ruin of something so great we will never see the likes of ever again...And that's how I fell in love with Jim Morrison at 8 years old and singing his old greats still brings about those same feelings of those wonderful days,and he still sets the standard for me of what it means to reel out of every pore he had all things that can seduce a woman with just a few words ...inviting us to "love him 2 times!" Actually though my single most favorite song they recorded always will be "The End," It is the anth of how it felt to live and experience that vibe during those days of pointless war and contrasting change for free love and chaos and it was like the schizophrenic episode that the entire world seemed to experience....and I was just happy painting big flower power bubble flowers ony school notebooks and embroidering them all over my jeans... RIP Jim..you were too big a presence and shone too brightly to be living among us mete mortals...alas he was just a man..a man with a gift bigger than he could handle as a mere human being ..it consumed even him in the end ..being such that it it was too much perfection for any person to carry.
The one and only Doors! 1968 Asbury Park. We want the World and we want it now. Jim took off his leather coat threw it on the ground.Then dropped his cigarette on it. Next he stomped it with his boot. Classic Jim! Perhaps the greatest band from America!
Endless music, Jim Morrison is for me the best legend of rebellion, poetry, music, and love of our times. Passed away young, not surprising. I was a small child in those times. Psychedelic Music
Still enjoy every album . So many great songs that never got a lot of air time on the radio. It was an amazing band. Now when I drive my truck I listen to the Doors , Pink Floyd , Allman brothers and just shut out the world and enjoy the great music. It was an especially creative period when this great music was made. We would all hang out with our cars and vans on full moon nights...everyone would have the same station on and ....well...it was fantastic to be there.
Jim was a visionary he knew he was going away ahead of time him and Pam are in heaven now and they are so proud we are still jamming to his music the only music you should jam to
The Doors created SO much poetry; accompanied by brilliant music; the true formula of fabulous songs; coupled with outstanding performances and genius well ahead of its time; what’s not to love; at least two times and then SO many times more!
My Favourite Doors song... 💛✨preceded by the work of the Electric Poet.. He could always deliver no matter what state he was in.....RIP Jim Morrison.. music lives on.. ✌️
Jim Morrison was creative and crazy as a loon. Talented musicians and songwriters with an all-time showman upfront. The Doors truly did break on through to the other side!!!!
Got to see the Doors in 1967. I was 16. Doors were still a local LA band at that point. Had not gone national/global yet. Phenomenal show. Still haven't recovered and now I'm 71.
Thanks for sharing, sounds like a great show. Was the line up of members the same that went on to become what was the famous four members?
@@patcom1013 Yes. The band created an eerie atmosphere. Where I saw them there was a circular "Theatre in the round" in LA.. Stage was going round and round. Started out with Manzarek on organ droning. Then drummer Densmore came in adding a subdued bell sound on cymbal and the two continued with their hypnotic drone. Then suddenly, guitar player Kreuger intruded a shrieking feedback scream. At that point only 3 musicians on the stage but I noted the extreme clarity of their sound and its remarkable volume and power. Finally Morrison came striding down the aisle taking to the stage smoking a joint. He was clearly drunk. He held on to the mic stand for dear life as the stage continued round and round. He looked like he would fall down were there no mic stand to hold onto. Suddenly, he lept into the air with his shamanistic scream launching into "Back Door Man". Will never forget that.

Others, mean and rueful of the western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft

For this is the land where the Pharaoh die

Cuando yo era una niña de 9 años lo escuché por primera vez en casa de un vecino, me gustó mucho y le dije al vecino que me prestara en ese entonces el cassette,nunca lo hizo y yo ni siquiera sabía quiénes eran, años más tarde lo escuché con mi hermano y me dijo lo que sabia sobre ellos, después vi la película y quedé impactada, pero ya me encantaba su música antes de de verla 🥰🥰🥰
Siempre ha sido mi banda favorita ahora cuento ya con 41 años.
I still listen to the Doors music it will never get old....
LOVE ME TWO TIMES BABY ❤️
His voice makes me melt like a popsicle on the Fourth of July
The Doors are phenomenal. Jim Morrison is at his best here.The song 🎵 is simply beautiful. I wish the Doors were still around. RIP,Jim you are truly missed 😢 ❤️
Jim was from a different dimension!!! Now immortal in this 1!!!
Amazing song written by the shy genius of Robbie Krieger their guitar player that became an incredible success. Not only Light my fire but immense music and a very brillant tv performance in Sweden. Fantastic the final part of a pure inspired great Morrison vocal tune..Oh Wow
Definitely an amazing poet. That’s why Jim Morrison and the Doors were are and will be the best band
Aren't we lucky to be witnessing this?
Aren't we are with so many people promising more then the can give. and now one ever promise what the can give wether health or sickness
Amen x
I’ll put this up against any Beetles song any day of the week. Jim’s a King 👑
Robby Krieger may have wrote the lyrics to this song, but you can tell Jim loved singing it. He really put everything he had into it.
Been a Doors fan forever. Love Jim. Still a fan and always will be. No other rock band comes close to the Doors.
Awesome intro! Morrison has never looked cooler. Probably America's best rock band of alltime. Anyone disagree? I didn't think so.
best rock band? Steely Dan, greatest rock song? Light My Fire
@@spactick You are right on. Steely Dan is one of my 4 favorite bands along with The Moody Blues, Cat Stevens and The Cars. All four are in the Rock N Roll HOF.
@@22_cincatt ya, nothing against The Doors. They eclipsed The Beatles in 67' with Light My Fire. That song totally dominated the airwaves that summer. I was going to the Fillmore Auditorium here in San Francisco back
then and the weekend that The Doors played at The Fillmore you couldn't get in. There was a line down Geary Blvd around the corner down Steiner St. As to Steely Dan? no band has had the musicianship of those guys.
Granted they're more jazz oriented, but for the most part they're a rock group. THE best rock/jazz band ever.
No one's close
@@spactick Thanks for sharing that story. I would have loved to see that band live! I was only 7 at the time. They have a sound all their own. 4 important pieces to make a great band.
I love the Doors, but Hendrix is my favorite American Artist.
Relevant then and now!
Doors fans are the best. I’ve loved them since I played their best of on my dad’s turntable when I was 7 years old. I didn’t quite get it but I knew I felt some connection to their music. I’m 24 now and have never once looked back. I’ll take their music to my grave. All hail the American Night, I bow to thee oh Lizard King.
I love to hear this!
he was soooo great
Writing this on Jim's birthday. I'm genuinely grateful for all the Music The Doors made, and I wish they were all around today to see the massive impact it has had on so many people and how it influenced others to get into music. Thanks, Jim love ya
I was in my 20’s in the 1980’s when a close friend gave me the first album as a gift. I went home and put it on my turntable and listened to the whole album Break on through to the end. Now I’m 59 and still
The combination of these two tracks for this performance is just incredible. How cool can you get?
I wrote an essay on Jim M when I was in middle school (mid 90s). I think Mom got me started on the right track 🎶 🎶
Man there are no other country with such rich talents like the great America i mean talk about funk or rock blues and country' music Pop you name it US is very bless by the best Music Sport Movies Actor's you wandering why everyone wants to be America including myself .finally the Doors was awesome
I discovered the doors back in 2010 when I was 14. I'm 26 now and I know every single song, all the lyrics, and more. Over these last 12 years I only met 1 other door fan my age.
Haha I'm 14 now! They were my dad's favourite band and he's got all of Jim's poetry. They're coming up on my favourite band too. I love densmores jazzy drumming and kreigers bluesy guitar.
I'm 28 and love The Doors! Jim's speaking and singing voice is a drug all its own lol
i started listening at 8 with break on thru.. i’m 27 now and have heard ever piece of audio media from them that’s been released so far…
Saw them live in San Francisco CA... in 1965...I was 10th grade and the Winterland Ballroom was The place to go to see the Rock Stars...Rock was kind of new and it was cool! So..it was a Friday night...Big Party Going On....The Doors were the opening Band...The announcer said.."Ladies & Gentleman...The Hottest Band From LA...The Doors"....They killed it! .....Touch Me Babe...Light My Fire... We didn't know it then, but we were witnessing one of the Greatest Rock Bands Of All Time!

saludos cordiales.
Greatest band of all time. These guys were ahead of their time. ✌🏻
Jim was a beautiful wordsmith and poet, The Doors at their best ..Magical
"No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the down"
-Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison had a gift with music but let's not forget the members of the group that provided the music
Jim was a wordsmith a poet first then musican second. He always wanted to be poet first. 😊
I instantly turn 17 yrs old when I hear Jim Morrison and the Doors! Just Awesome 👌. Now at 71 yrs. young listening I'm searching for that twilight dream, through the expansive, are waves of youth, comes a heart, full of truth.
The Doors make me travel in my thinkings, in my mind and until the past
We are all strange with wierd habits we do on our own. When nobody is looking. How ever some day i hope everyone who reads this. I hope you find someone as strange as you. That type of connection love is when you really understand what it's l8ke being in love.
Everyone is weird and a little crazy it's just a matter of how much. Iconic band at the perfect time, not talking about holding flowers and loving the world but looking at the dark side of life and in the 70s music went that direction whether punk or metal someone had to be dark and " evil" in the 60s love your brother mindset. I believe everyone should love everyone but you have to also accept the dark side of any time
As good as they were in the studio they were a good live band ❤
Lete tell y'all a little story..a story that has warmed the heart of this old lady for over 60 years!
Around about 1968 or 1969 it was...there came THE voice pouring the radio of my moms brand new Dodge Coronet..All through those magical Summers ..this powerful voice,! It flooded thee souls of us all with a pagan sensuality ..and I had never laid eyes on this Apollo. This man who had the power to impress and wrench feelings out of my 8 year old psyche that I had no concept of but all I knew was that I was in love with this man..he was everything ..his every steamy testosterone infused note he sang assured me that THIS must be what the happy German tourist girls giggled about on the beach..this must be was it meant to feel t pure unadulterated ' sexy' in a package that was a man- long before I even knew what any of that was about (and didn't care).....All I could feel as I heard The Doors play "C'mon ,Baby,Light My Fire" was that this was the very definition to my soul of what a man could make you feel inside and move you so much with just a voice that I fell in love -as best as I could understand it ..With Jim Morrison as hard as I've ever worshipped any man I'm my life.His voice could do things to me through out my life that bordered on shades of embarrassing mental orgasms and he should have come wearing a big sign as he walked around in life warning women that this was the honest to God sexiest man to ever take a breath! And I had never once even seem his gae- not an album cover ..not an Ed Sullivan Show..But I knew them that if he could affect me to my soul (and being nowhere near caring about all that sexy stuff then!). I could totally understand that gift and that power and earthiness was truly magnificent? When I accidentally finally saw a photo somewhere of Jim a couple of years later ,I nearly fell over myself in love all over again! He must truly have fallen from Olympus,this indescribably beautiful Greek God of a male! There will never be anyone who could ever even come close to the incredible talent and raw walking lust God that he was just naturally and born with it along with his poets soul.Too bad he chose to allow it to take on a life of its own and destroyed him with it's power.Mere mortals aren't meant to carry such blinding gifts..it will consume them ...and it was the ruin of something so great we will never see the likes of ever again...And that's how I fell in love with Jim Morrison at 8 years old and singing his old greats still brings about those same feelings of those wonderful days,and he still sets the standard for me of what it means to reel out of every pore he had all things that can seduce a woman with just a few words ...inviting us to "love him 2 times!" Actually though my single most favorite song they recorded always will be "The End," It is the anth of how it felt to live and experience that vibe during those days of pointless war and contrasting change for free love and chaos and it was like the schizophrenic episode that the entire world seemed to experience....and I was just happy painting big flower power bubble flowers ony school notebooks and embroidering them all over my jeans... RIP Jim..you were too big a presence and shone too brightly to be living among us mete mortals...alas he was just a man..a man with a gift bigger than he could handle as a mere human being ..it consumed even him in the end ..being such that it it was too much perfection for any person to carry.
He was ok
The one and only Doors! 1968 Asbury Park. We want the World and we want it now. Jim took off his leather coat threw it on the ground.Then dropped his cigarette on it. Next he stomped it with his boot. Classic Jim! Perhaps the greatest band from America!
Robbie was go goddamn versatile as a writer. His compositions were all different, but they all suited Jim.
xactly
When you look at those 4 guys, Robbie is the one you would least expect to have written those great hits.
Ridiculously ahead of their time. Thanks, dudes!
And ahead of this time
Probably the greatest American band of all time with all due respect to the eagles and credence and Lynyrd Skynyrd
He is the epitome of a lead rock singer.
One of the best American blues songs of all time.
A deep dark poet, that many didn’t understand. He had something to say in all his songs.
I’m from Texas yah he ain’t lying.
He's from florida
@@dakotaborrowdale2791 He was an military brat and moved around a bunch as a kid. His dad was a rear admiral in the Navy who served in WW2 and Vietnam
Robbie Krieger was an excellent guitarist for the Doors. One of my all time favorites. Unpretentious with a great clean sound.
How many years were The Doors releasing albums? 3-4 years? The impact they made was just incredible!!!!
Right
4 years and released 6 amazing albums with Morrison. Not one bad album or song from that era.
1967/1971
@@aaronmartinez5029First and last are the best.
Endless music, Jim Morrison is for me the best legend of rebellion, poetry, music, and love of our times. Passed away young, not surprising. I was a small child in those times. Psychedelic Music
Still enjoy every album . So many great songs that never got a lot of air time on the radio. It was an amazing band. Now when I drive my truck I listen to the Doors , Pink Floyd , Allman brothers and just shut out the world and enjoy the great music. It was an especially creative period when this great music was made. We would all hang out with our cars and vans on full moon nights...everyone would have the same station on and ....well...it was fantastic to be there.
Greatest frontman and song writer of all time!!!!
Put the addiction aside. Jim's mind was on another level.
Oh my god those eyes! It feels like he’s looking right at you. And that eye roll at 1:02 😻🔥
Jim was a visionary he knew he was going away ahead of time him and Pam are in heaven now and they are so proud we are still jamming to his music the only music you should jam to
Greatest band of all time
No
Yeah
One of the greatest
They're all right.
Hands down. Stones are a close second. But Jim is my god😍
its amazing how the doors have lived on as a "rock and roll band" when they were really a jazz band at heart.
Ich glaube er liebte mehr den blues weil man mehr improvisieren kann
😉 Ist nur eine Vermutung.
@@chrismuller4114 yeah this feels more bluesy
The Doors created SO much poetry; accompanied by brilliant music; the true formula of fabulous songs; coupled with outstanding performances and genius well ahead of its time; what’s not to love; at least two times and then SO many times more!
Music of my youth and still love it. I think that The Doors is best band ever and forewer.
My Favourite Doors song... 💛✨preceded by the work of the Electric Poet.. He could always deliver no matter what state he was in.....RIP Jim Morrison.. music lives on.. ✌️
Jim Morrison was creative and crazy as a loon. Talented musicians and songwriters with an all-time showman upfront. The Doors truly did break on through to the other side!!!!
The Doors were always been one of my favorite bands since the 1960's and I still listen to them for fun and enjoyment too lol
When my time is done on this planet the doors are coming with me 🙏🏼
Never have & never will get bored of there spiritual celestial music .
Jim was superb singer!!
not singer, he was a poet
Great voice and was so good looking The Doors will always Light My Fire
To me, the Doors music is as fresh as the day I first heard it, when our baby sitter played it for me and my sister on our dads hifi.
