      Back in the day they fought like Hell !!! Morrison stayed drunk and they couldn't get him to sober for the studio and he screwed up concerts. That's why he went to Paris, he was fighting charges in Florida. He was a mess, they (the band) covered for him constantly. But, when he could perform, they were great !!!

    This era (1965-1972) is the greatest musical and cultural movement ever in my opinion and the Doors were a founding part of it. The greatest band of all time. Ray with the organ, Jim’s drunken vocals, John’s smooth drums and Robby’s guitar shreds and chill chords. Nothing better in the world. If only I could shake each of their hands.

They are just jamming and you can clearly see it. I think Ray cares more about the feeling than for the variety of musical figures here, so, you know, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it. Everyone has his own taste in music.

    Besides the obvious -Jim's voice-, the way Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger let themselves go in perfect jam showing their skills, which go beyond their studio recordings, is one of my top ten live performances. I bet this gig was a pleasure for them all, a milestone as well. They're in the same universe while Jim is enjoying their music just like one of us, a mere spectator. Priceless.

He would come on stage totally stoned & bombed but was still able to perform, how he remembered the lyrics is beyond me. RIP Jim.Morrison, your music will live on forever 👍🏼

    The Doors were everything Huxley wrote about. They were the doorway from the 60’s to the 70’s. Jim was a poet. He lived in an aura. The very best live short lives because they sacrifice themselves.
    Ray was an incredible musician. I still miss him. The backbone of the band. John and Robby were just the best in their own right. The combination of the four is legend.
    Their timing was immaculate, not just in music but in the transition of an era. Some people say what if Jim had lived. The music they made in those four years was their lives. It was a gift to ours.

But no amount of drugs or alcohol can produce talent and a beautiful voice.

      The bass line by Ray throughout the whole song is My Favorite Things.

    I call Jim Morrison the Accidental Rockstar. He had much of the music material already except it was in the form of poems. Bumping into his former classmate Ray on the beach one day and Ray and Jim talked about his poems and Ray wanted to put it to music. Thus, THE DOORS.

    I always loved this song for the instrumentals. I was in High School when it came out and it's still one of my all time favorites.

    I like the fact that they focus not only in Jim but in the others too. Sometimes, sadly, Morrison's shadow eclipses the figure of the other three: Robby, John and Ray. I think this version bring Justice to what The Doors actually was: a great team, a perfect work for four marvellous musicians.

      León Cuba good point
      the whole band was excellent
      some fans and critics were too obsessed with the mystic and aesthetic of morrison in 67 68.
      it was once he got fatter and grew a beard in 69 that they kind if toned it down I think

      Remember this was August 1970 and they were playing with Morrison’s ongoing Miami obscenity trial casting an ominous shadow over the band.... as Ray Manzarek put it “He sang for all he was worth, but moved nary a muscle. Dionysus had been shackled.”
      I assume this forced the film crew be a little more creative rather than just focusing on the antics of Mr. Mojo Risin.

    "The Doors," in all their glory. And, Jim is focussed, and each and every one of them absolutely "superb" in their own right, and they were a very powerful force that shattered the mundane consciousness.
