@@cloroxbleach8676 yep I can't believe he is singing it, it's this song that started individual writing credits to be shown on the records as befor all writing credits was to the doors
I love this version more than the original recorded version. I like the simple sound, only 4 people and a poem, doing the best they can do without many arrangements.
Check out the 50th Anniversary release of the Soft Parade album. It has a "Doors Only" mix of "Tell All the People", among others. Robby in particular did amazing work on the album, as did they all.
just turned 27 this year. been a doors fan since 5th grade. always wondered what I would be like if I made it this long. weird feeling crossing that bridge from youth to adulthood now and outliving your childhood idols. strange days indeed
Jim Morrison was one in a million and this song can tell it all 💙 this speaks so much to my heart, one of the most beautiful and underrated songs of the doors
cause all the kids in them days had LSD, which caused them to think for themselves, and the kids these days are literally being brainwashed by the media.
@@waynegersbach8089 This is the Doors in their most decadent period. Jim is really in his element here singing in this lounge style. If you were going to combine a musical and adult film together this is your soundtrack.
(Since the description is lacking) This performance was recorded on April 28th, 1969 in New York at PBS Studios. This was the second to last television performance of any kind by the Doors while Jim Morrison was alive. It's also notable as the only time that the Doors played songs from The Soft Parade album on television. Jim Morrison passed away two years and 2 months after this was recorded.
@@joeltaylor3189 The final televised performance with Jim was a short clip of a November 1970 rehearsal for LA Woman. They did continue to have video recordings of shows following the PBS appearance but they were not televised.
This has always been my favorite version of this song because of its true representation of the Doors as a cohesive band of 4 unique and original forces blended into one... Manzarek with his godly and goose bump producing keyboard playing in conjunction with spot on base lines, Krieger with his intricate guitar picking and his own sense of rhythm, Densmore with his tight but mellow and smooth drumming, and of course Mr. Morrison with his natural-born nack for storytelling and beautiful poetry that has moved me to bliss. I will always love this true band .
THIS WAS AT 'CRITIQUE': 28th-29th of April, 1969. The doors made seven songs in this tv program and then they made an interview. They asked Jim to read some of his poems, he started to read them, but then he stopped because he said that he wasn't able to read them in the right way to express his feelings. He was so humble!!!
Favorite doors song I literally just heard it the other day, picked up my guitar and learned it. Now I’m trying to get my band to play it with me. I’m 30 btw
So sad that he wrestled with so many personal demons! He was a talented poet, songwriter and singer! A true artist for all time! The Doors music is timeless and just think of the greatness they achieved in such a short time, could have definitely contributed soooo much more to the world with his unique perspectives on our culture!
these are true legends and geniuses for sure. I am a Doors Freak and I also play in a Doors Tribute Band. Not everyone is able to feel this music and be able to play it. you must feel the spirit of morrison inorder to play Doors, Forever Doors. Anthony
It's amazing that he had never sung in his life until 1965, and this is 3 1/2 years later, and he's has one of the best voices I've ever heard. They're first album he had sung a little over a year. Unreal.
1 of my fav doors album.. I remember i was in the 7th grade and on the last day of school my teacher pulled me aside and gave me the soft parade album that belonged to her son who passed from a car accident.. I was very greatful.. I’ll never forget that moment in time
@Eleanor Lonely I get that but I've seen other performances from this session and the quality is perfect. There is a version of the soft parade from this session and it blew my mind. Amazing
This song is a shining example of the brilliance that was The Doors, the lyrical depth and fidelity is raw and intriguing which is why Jim is considered a poet, to me this is poetry. The emotional input is there too, this song makes me happy and sad at the same time much like all of their collective works. People today listen to music to bide time when travelling or sitting around with friends, not to listen and appreciate the depth with isn't necessarily prominent in modern music, the lyrics are second place to a good sounding beat. This is why The Doors had no predecessors or successors, they were perfectly unique and produced in my opinion the very best of music in such as short time.
+DIDGCARNAGE Actually this song was written by Robby Krieger and Jim was reluctant to sing it because of the messiah like lyrics and call for people to ' get their guns' so I've read
thats why robby is so great, his sound is so unique without a pick he strings together chords and solo sections in the same riff soo amazingly such an underrated guitarist
I still can't believe I'm older than him. I always saw him like an old man, no matter my age nor my experience, I keep respecting him as an excelent musician and lyricist. ❤
My son and I saw Robbie at the Whiskey a month ago. Before the show, as we were all stuffed nuts to butts, they played this over the speakers before Robbie came out. It was unbelievable, everyone was singing so loud. What a memory
Lyrics: Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Set them free Follow me down You tell them they don't have to run We're gonna pick up everyone Come out and take me by my hand Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, yeah Can't you see the wonder at your feet Your life's complete Follow me down Can't you see me growing, get your guns The time has come To follow me down Follow me across the sea Where milky babies seem to be Molded, flowing revelry With the one that set them free Tell all the people that you see It's just me Follow me down, yeah Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Set them free Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free Follow me down Follow me down You got to follow me down Follow me down...
rip ray, you will be miss very much, your contributions to the doors music will always be rembered thank you for all the great music that you helped creat while you were hear with us. peace and love. tell jim that i think his poetry was great and i truely understood what he was trying to say through the bands music. have a peacefull journey to the great beyond ray.
This is the first time that I've watched and heard this musical video. Jim has such a nice voice when he sings,even though he didn't think so? Robby is always by his side. John and Ray seem to be enjoying their talents, and feeling peaceful.
This is just such a great performance. Robby wrote a perfect song for Jim to sing, it just fits him so well. The band had such great synergy, it's amazing. Jim died at 27, but I'm positive he's experienced more than most people who live to 100! He's still alive in a way.
In 500 years, they'll still talk about Jim Morrison and the Doors. The Beatles, The Stones, and The Beach Boys should also figure in those future world discussions, too. 😉
i always could relate to jim because he always like to keep it real. and i always felt that there was more to the life that we live now. after i have read a lot of jim's poetry that i truely believe that that there is another side that we can break on through to. and that i am just waiting for my chance to break on through to. to me darkness is only a place that doesn't have any light at all, it is just a place of endless possiablitys
This may sound weird, but when I first heard this song and saw this video, Jim's beard and the lyrics in this song made me wonder, "Is Jim Morrison the second coming of Jesus Christ?" I didn't really believe it, but this song sounds like something Jesus would sing. Such deep lyrics. He was an unbelievably great poet and songwriter. RIP, Jim Morrison.
First time I saw this video, I thought to my self "when Jesus comes back he's gonna look just like Jim Morrison does here and this songs gonna start playin".....
I wish he never died. He could have done so much with his poetry and everything else he wanted to do. Even if he didn't come back to music he was still a very special person and it blows the good ones always die young
Both Jim and Jesus can show you ways of living and can influence you in both positive and negative ways. I've learned to love and accept more readily, and to look out at the world as well as in at myself because of Jim's poetry and The Doors' music. And the best part is if I disagree with him, I'm not condemned to hell. And, I don't worship him. What scares me about religion is that I'm created, and then punished because of certain actions. Why create me at all? Is it then based on fear of hell?
One of the rare doors song were the drums deliver the hook ... and an absolutely brilliant couple short solos in there by robby reminding you he's there without trying to stand out. Perfect timing by 4 musicians and I'd argue the best opener of any of their albums minus strange days
Robbie Krieger wrote a lot of their songs. He didn't hate it, he just didn't like the lyrics too much so he made sure Robbie got writing credits for it. He wrote most of their major hits.
Really great performance in 1969 of a new bearded Jimbo..the new look and the same expressive magnetism..really cool the Manzarek keyboards..great old times
One of the most underrated songs of all time
Jim hated this song
Maybe the best song ever
Pfft the whole album of Soft Parade underrated
@@cloroxbleach8676 Jim hated a lot of things from what I gather.
@@cloroxbleach8676 yep I can't believe he is singing it, it's this song that started individual writing credits to be shown on the records as befor all writing credits was to the doors
This tune sold me as a 13 year old ...this and 'you're lost little girl "
I love this version more than the original recorded version. I like the simple sound, only 4 people and a poem, doing the best they can do without many arrangements.
I completely agree! I just had the same thought!
I heard it first like this and refuse to hear it differently
100% agree
The brass section in the studio recording tries to make the song sound bigger but it has a big sound bare bones
Check out the 50th Anniversary release of the Soft Parade album. It has a "Doors Only" mix of "Tell All the People", among others. Robby in particular did amazing work on the album, as did they all.
Wow! Jim's voice sounds so great here!
👍
+Cyber Grunge , His voice was one of the bigger !
BEST OF ALL TIME// TIED WITH JOHN LENNON!
Better than on the studio version.
Perfect! Who believes Jim's still alive ?
just turned 27 this year. been a doors fan since 5th grade. always wondered what I would be like if I made it this long. weird feeling crossing that bridge from youth to adulthood now and outliving your childhood idols. strange days indeed
Best band ever, best front man, the one that taught many of us that books and learning is cool, he was a genius besides all the hoopla.
mandaltby Top five frontmen:
1) King Elvis
2) Jim Morrison
3) Eric Burdon
4) Robert Plant
5) Otis Redding
& the fact that his dad started the Vietnam war! Heavy burden to carry man xx
@zerx harris Freddie? lol what a joke
If Morrison hadn't been a Rockstar he would've been an incredible filmmaker.
Jim Morrison was one in a million and this song can tell it all 💙 this speaks so much to my heart, one of the most beautiful and underrated songs of the doors
This is like Elvis is singing...holy, mother of God!
Really his voice was amazing,
LMAO not even close
@@FerminHarris-ms4bq yup, Jim blows Elvis away.
@@morrison1405 I want what you guys are smoking 😂😂
@@FerminHarris-ms4bqquit liking your own comments
@@finlaymarron Dont be butthurt cuz people agree he can't touch Elvis in terms of singing 😂
I would love to go back in time to meet Jim! R.I.P Morrison..
Hard to believe this wise man was only 25, who can pull something like that off in their 20s today
There's less LSD turning around nowadays..
Just kidding.

I was a bit reluctant with The Soft Parade album at first but now I really do adore it. Especially this song.
Every album so diverse and original . What genre is soft parade I still don’t know

That's a very lovely memory to have,tnx for sharing.
Love this version more than the actual studio version
The Asthetics of Jim are what draws you in.

If there was a song that could have gotten Morrison killed, it’s this one.
Beautiful song by Jim hints of gospel music and he welcomes you to his good heart🙂
Jim's voice in this version is more in tune than the actual studio recording.
he hated this song and admitted it
@@lyricberlin why?
@@lucaslucas5907 talks of guns and war

Love the way Robbie plays for the song. He's great, so cool.
This song is like a medicine...my troubles are buried in the sand when I am listening..
RIP Ray. Thanks for all the great songs.
The Doors, Van Halen, and the Stones is why music is engrained so deeply in me. The rest was yet to come.
This has to be one of the best songs of all time and maybe the best band ever.

Tell all the people that you see
Set them free

You tell them they don't have to run

Come out and take me by my hand
Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, yeah
Can't you see the wonder at your feet
Your life's complete
Follow me down
Can't you see me growing, get your guns
The time has come
To follow me down
Follow me across the sea
Where milky babies seem to be
Molded, flowing revelry
With the one that set them free
Tell all the people that you see
It's just me
Follow me down, yeah
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Set them free

Tell all the people that you see

Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
We'll be free
Follow me down
Follow me down
You got to follow me down
Follow me down...
One of my favorite Doors songs!! Love it.
one of the best performances
jim was special fantastic voice and charisma
this is one of their best performances...just the Doors doing their thing...no extras...just a rock band.
Big! the critics , allegedly, were not convinced by this album. But what a song and performance by a 4 piece.
Jim was such a strong vocalist even when he was completely out of his mind
rip ray, you will be miss very much, your contributions to the doors music will always be rembered thank you for all the great music that you helped creat while you were hear with us. peace and love. tell jim that i think his poetry was great and i truely understood what he was trying to say through the bands music. have a peacefull journey to the great beyond ray.

What a Voice , what a time to be alive ha Yeah
The best band America has produced IMO.
Jim was so much into life. His message was to just have fun!!!
I just love the vocal on this track...genius...love this band, they made a big impact on me when I first heard them.
What a wonderful, meaningful library.
This is just such a great performance. Robby wrote a perfect song for Jim to sing, it just fits him so well. The band had such great synergy, it's amazing. Jim died at 27, but I'm positive he's experienced more than most people who live to 100! He's still alive in a way.

He's still alive on Utube for all fans to see.
"Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand" is the climax of the song for me..tears too many times.
Best Doors TV performance ever.
Love this band.

Cheers from Argentina!

this song is so good
Above everything else , Jim was simply a great singer , far better than he ever imagined himself to be , intact there has never quite been another
Amazing. Jim Morrison and The Doors will live on.
Even with this poor sound quality still sends shivers down your spine, imagine being there ... just beautiful
this is a real gem of a lost classic, probably the finest Doors song. thanks very much for posting it.
Amazing footage of one of the most unique bands since ever
This is an epic voice.
Love Jim's voice during this era, so rich, so manly...wish I could sing like this :(
Timeless music...Excellent...Good beat...Awesome lyrics....
I love robby krieger! Great song robby!
Robby writed the three best songs of the Doors , in my opinion
Looks like he's tripping hard.
The guy was a great singer too, and he even uses some serious highs in that one! Rare chance to enjoy him in the higher register.
I love the rawness of this version. Amazing.
That's my favorite song about The Doors. The song is quite relaxed but still doesn't take away from the rock genre
Some love from germany...
one of the best doors songs!

um no
The way he's staring at you makes you shiver from tip to toe because of UNDERSTANDING.
2:42 pure fuckin bliss. Probably the best sounds I’ve ever heared
You can really hear the complexities of all the instruments one by one and through sheer ability/talent it sounds perfect. Including the voice.
Oh... Estas canciones me acuerdan a cuando estaba en la preparatoria... Tantos buenos recuerdos.
I wish he never died. He could have done so much with his poetry and everything else he wanted to do. Even if he didn't come back to music he was still a very special person and it blows the good ones always die young
Uma das primeiras músicas que ouvi do The Doors, que paixão
One of the best performances I’ve seen by Jim. Great voice
My favorite live Doors song by far.
always been one of my favorite Doors tunes...and they have so many...Hendrix, Doors and Stones have always been my favorites
Best version of this song!
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED."- Matthew 12:37.
There hasn't been a musician or artist since Jim that can rival his genius........
he wasn't a musician and not even close to being the best singer. Morrison admitted that.
Both Jim and Jesus can show you ways of living and can influence you in both positive and negative ways. I've learned to love and accept more readily, and to look out at the world as well as in at myself because of Jim's poetry and The Doors' music. And the best part is if I disagree with him, I'm not condemned to hell. And, I don't worship him. What scares me about religion is that I'm created, and then punished because of certain actions. Why create me at all? Is it then based on fear of hell?
One of the rare doors song were the drums deliver the hook ... and an absolutely brilliant couple short solos in there by robby reminding you he's there without trying to stand out. Perfect timing by 4 musicians and I'd argue the best opener of any of their albums minus strange days
The changeling? Break on through? Roadhouse blues?
Amo!
Jim pra sempre em nossos corações

Great performance by the ENTIRE band!! R.I.P. JIM & RAY
Pure pure music Heaven
One of the best songs ever!
Morrison always remembered the right wordies, the band always remembered the right noties.
Really great performance in 1969 of a new bearded Jimbo..the new look and the same expressive magnetism..really cool the Manzarek keyboards..great old times
This is actually my all time favourite song.
I will fallow you down forever,man! And when I see that my life is complete,man,when I see it,I will think of you,Ray,Roby and John! I LOVE YOU,DUDES!
As a 24 year old Doorshead, this blows the album version out of the water. Infinitely better then the studio version. 🚪
bands like these rnt just ahead of there time, they will always travel through time till the end of humanity and beyond.
i really think jim knew this was it, the end. he put on one damn good show to finish it. god bless you jim.
Just a great performance. The whole show was brilliant. The interview was pretty good too.
What's the name of the interview, I would like to watch it
