This was the first song I heard while high on weed 55 years ago. Big turning point in my life. The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, all launched their 1st albums around the same time. Plenty of great music to feast on by a boomer teenager
This is borderline unreal; I mean, who makes music like this? The Doors were truly cosmic in so many ways. They cannot be compared to anybody......ever. Love these guys.
Hahaha you are not the only one who loves them ! And yes, everything what you say is true, but there are some bands who are really good in their own , but nobody is like the doors Indeed . Enjoy !
This performance is surreal! A performance this powerful, this early is amazing! Very few in that audience knew what was taking place in front of them! Shamanistic
Exactly. Be who reads books these days? Jim was well read. There are many references to greek/Roman mythology, Carl Jung, Judeo Christian beliefs into good & evil..i wouldnt be surprised if his readings of Nietsche are interwoven into this. Side note: what in the hell happened to the generation post ww2? They killed Christ all over again & embraced satan & his guiles of excess through paganism.
You oldies haven't looked deep enough with all due respect. Coming from a 15yr old, there are some amazing new psychedelic rock bands out there. Check out The Lazy Eyes, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, 2010 - 2012 era Tame Impala, Pond, Mink Mussel Creek, Kraungbin, etc...
Listened to this song many times in Vietnam. I was a helicopter door gunner. I didn't get killed obviously but any a lot of ways my life ended. I lost the my true love because Nam. I have never been able to love another woman like her since.
The most difficult part of my day is having to listen to the music 🎶 selected by a twenty two year old at the gym during my workout. First of all, it lacks rhythm, and the other part is that you can’t understand WTF they are saying. 😡
I have said it before and will always say it. The Doors were and are like no other band. They came and went so fast but left us music that stood the test of time and always will. A Doors song in 2022 sounds as fresh as it did in 1968. The sound of The Doors is so primitive and unique I have never heard another band come close to their sound, no one. I think Jim and The Doors were a gift to us from the cosmos, their sound feels like it just comes at you in every direction and can summon emotions and feelings as if you are on a journey with them. When I hear songs like this I feel teleported back in time as if I am walking with the band and Jim living their experiences, their music cuts to your soul, its so weird I cannot find the same feeling in any other band. I have heard these songs thousands of times and each time is like the first, cannot explain it other than it just makes me stop and listen as if it was the first time I heard the song, for me it just grabs my soul and speaks to me in ways no other songs do, that my friends is why The Door will always be the greatest band of all time.
totally agreed-and on a literal meaning! Not symbolic, they -He had an ancient spirit in him. This is no accident. He was only scarcely aware of what was happening. Maybe a fallen One-they're ancient and this is within their style to seek worship
Who made music like this? Pink Floyd in this very same time period. Listen to Astronomy Domine, or Careful With That Axe Eugene.... truly marvelous music especially played live.... like The End... which is a wonderful song as well. 🤞🧞
I’m going on 70 yrs now and grew up with (and still do like) the Doors. BUT, imo I think just about THE MOST POWERFUL song I have heard to date is the cover of ‘The Sound of Silence’ done by David Draiman (? sp.) from Disturbed (his black and white solo video version)❗️In fact I ❤ it SO MUCH that I want it played at my funeral (and I don’t, and never did, even like the original Simon and Garfunkel). Music is a matter of personal taste and preference though - I’m not criticizing anyone else’s opinions - to each his own…!
@@heckmoss2971 👍 I really and truly love 💗 both songs a lot too - and as for ‘CN’, from the original to many of the covers of it (vocal and instrumental)!
I learned how to play guitar by listening to my older sister’s Doors albums, figuring out the songs, and playing along with Robby Krieger. Fifty years later, my favorite thing in the world is to put Doors on shuffle, plug in my old ‘69 SG, and just close my eyes and play along with whatever comes on. Greatest band ever, for me.
WOW it's 2024 and this song is 57+ yrs. old and still a trip into another dimension!!! THE DOORS were 50-60 yrs ahead of their times. Thank You for this upload!!! In the passage "meet me at the back of the blue bus" where it crescendos into Morrison's hysterical screaming I wondered if they were doing an homage to the Beatles: "Day in the Life" where the Royal Phil crescendos before crashing to a halt with the pianist hitting this chord that ends the record. The Doors end instead with Morrison singing "The is the End" with almost the same effect with the guys punctuating his voice without drowning him out. 1967 is when Sgt. Pepper is released and "A Day in the Life" is the last track on the album of side "B". They are in truth very different songs, but that crescendo.
This album was released in January 1967. Sgt. Pepper wasn't released until July.......six months later. If anything, I would say that the Beatles were doing homage to the Doors.
Thought I'd seen all The Doors live performances here but this one is an unexpected gift. Truly unique, special, unequal with any other group; back then and now.
@@LoveBandit1000 Filmed in August 1967 at the CBC-TV studios in downtown Toronto, just this one song , for broadcast in Canada in Oct. 1967. I understand it was also seen on tv in the U.S. but not until August 1970.
@@danneeson7056 I´ve seen pictures of this same show but in those pics Jim is wearing his leather jacket while he´s performing/singing, do you have any info of which song were they playing and why there´s no footage of that song?
Sorry to speak French but cette magnifique interprétation à du décoiffer le brushing du public 😂 les parts d'impro des musicos sont juste superbes et talentueuses ❤ !
Listen to songs like this and you understand why the Doors didn't get heavy commercial radio airplay.Their music was too sophisticated and ahead of its time
Unknown Soldier/5 to 1/Take It Easy Baby/Break On Through/Back Door Man/When the Music’s Over/My Eyes Have Seen You/Not To Touch the Earth/L A Woman/Waiting For the Sun/Roadhouse Blues, etc, etc, etc. 4 Absolute Geniuses!!
Almost every Doors' song had a touch of darkness in it, even if it were but a glimpse of a ghostly shadow in the corner of an otherwise brightly-lit room -- but this one's probably the darkest of all of theirs, yes
The feed comes directly from darkness. It's enchanting, but it is darkness. It is from demonic possession he encountered as a child. I encountered the same demons en route to Phoenix at the age of 3 in the back of a capped 4 cyl. Pickup.
This song paints a picture in my mind like no other song, from any era. It's so powerful, you don't need to get high to become immersed in the music and lyrics.
There aren’t many songs I remover hearing for the first time. This is one of them. I’d grown up with The Doors, but my mother only listened to their more radio friendly songs. I was 16, a young Goth into The Cure etc in the age 80’s. I remember being so affected by this song. It stuck with me for a long time.
I remember listening to this in my teens and been mezmerised. I was about 16 thinking that Jim was so old when died at 27 but now I'm in my 40's and I realise how young he was. Long live 'The Doors'
... the future's uncertain and the end is always near....people are strange when you're a stranger ...try to set the night on fire ♡God bless everyone and Hare Krishna amigos and pray ♡
One of the things I love about Jim is he didn’t have a materialistic bone in his body. Once he was done with something, he’d just give it away or simply leave it behind, such as his clothes. In fact, the ring he’s wearing here on his index finger was given to Nico of the Velvet Underground and she can be seen wearing it on the cover of her LP Chelsea Girl. Also I have always loved Jim’s Slavic Nehru shirt he’s wearing here, I believe someone made it for him. He can be seen wearing this particular shirt here and also the following week in NYC before it disappears forever.
Not only that, he insisted on splitting the money four ways, including for song writing royalties. That helped everyone to get along better. After Jim died, there were unfortunate legal battles, but it was great for a while.
@@elmoblatch9787 yes absolutely!! I don’t think people realize how incredibly rare it is for a songwriter to share his/her royalties equally. In the Doors’ case, Jim and Robby wrote most of the songs, however Ray and John greatly contributed to the structure and overall sound. So in my eyes they truly were equal. But that’s what I so love and admire about Jim, he didn’t give a shit about all the money and fame! He was absolutely positively one of a kind!
Their performances weren't concerts, they were Happenings. Theatre, poetry + music like nothing else of their time or since. Wow, this happened in my town when I was 2 years old. I guess I missed it!
Unfortunately never gotta see the Doors but I did see blue oyster cult in winterland sf and they had remade roadhouse blues and they brought Robbie in to play guitar with them pretty cool
I wonder if the people standing in front of this stage new that they were viewing such a masterpiece that will be forever encapsulated in time and known as one of the greatest live performances of all time.
The one and only, the Lizaed King with his fellows. These guys are my neverending youth, their music taught me the fragility of life, the flowdity of time and the unspeakable of the wonders that exist in all things. Those were my lessons that felt to the bone before even having ever experienced them. That's the true magic of The Doors. Thank you forever
an excellent performance...Jim Morrison at his best.He lived for the present not the future...Jim was probably on another level of consciousness with which it was difficult to communicate...
I was obsessed with the doors in the eighties and I have the recording of the last Vancouver concert and my sister was there and she gave me the poster for the gig , it was laid out like the Let it be original cover with 4 color photos with the Door logo . It hung on my bedroom wall with the white album poster and black light pot posters. My buddy has the red button pin with the logo and date
Incredible!! Jim died the year I was born but The Doors Music has resonated with me my entire life . This is just a masterpiece and my favorite song of all time!
I agree ….it is very progressive. 2 years before 21st Schizoid Man and no-one ever mentions this song when talking about progressive rock !!!….I guess they label it as “ psychedelic “.
I was born in 1958 and when I listen to The Doors it takes me back to my psychedelic days it helps me feel Young again wow they are awesome and I'm proud to be a hippie
I was born in 1997 and was brought up on the doors and similar bands i did have it good with some of the bands from the 90’s and early 2000’s but this era of music is absolute artwork and nobody will ever be able to reach the level of creativity Jim Morrison and all the other greats achieved. It’s a shame he didn’t get to grow old to further influence the music industry.
Four individuals, with their own talent and integrity. The blend is cosmic fireworks that makes my heart spin and my brain go soft and smooth. Thank you🙏 You are legends❤️
This is a masterpiece that speaks of the time when the Age of Free Love and the 60's were ending. It is a very sad lament when our nation was dealing with the Vietnam War . The Doors, fronted by the genius of Jim Morrison could see the end of the Summer of Love, and then came the 70's. This is a prophetic tune, for those who can listen to more than simply the words of this song. Come on, take a chance with us.
It has been said that the Doors debut album marked a fixed turning point in the tide of history from "all you need is love.." to " We want the world and we want it now..." Darkness had began to invade into the innocence of the earlier flowerchildren, now replaced by the "ship of fools..".
Entertain this i came from the end of the 60s all the. Greats hendrix led zepplin Janis Joplin. Great full dead. Rolling. Stones all had there transistic tunes time was truly different. For me seen. Many changes. Ups an downs you just felt different it was truly a better time to have kids. Then today brings. Waves. Of emotion. I know you that hVe. Left comment understand where I come from. Where we. Come from
Even to this day, and perhaps especially, this performance is jaw-dropping. I didn't think it would still have such an effect on me. There are gods among us.
This is pure Doors... elongating the songs till it becomes a sinuous and haunting ride. In some interview Ray commented that during the first performances they didn't have enough songs ready to play live and they had to make the ones they knew longer, hence having The End, Riders on the Storm and When the Music's Over the way they are nowadays... simply amazing.
These guys were incredibly cosmicly intense and surreal! I'm blown away! That singer's persona is intoxicating and mysterious all at the same time. The band is tightly feeding off each other, and clearly, all are in a musical trance. Nothing like my generations music of today. I'm hooked and want more!
I was part of that 60s 70s music scene. The Doors music was mind-opening then. And so many of their pieces were dangerous, exciting, transcendental. Just mesmerizing. I'm so glad I was a teenager in those days. The music scene was all groundbreaking and The Doors were a ticket to another realm. Just sayin'.
I find this musical journey beyond words, the poetry, Jim's performance and gosh those brilliant musicians backing up his lead singer creative and wildly unpredictable trip through every song, specially this one,and they were sooo young, their music sounds much more mature (if compared to now)...they were brilliant and their creation ageless.
I was a young fireman in a remote location in nor. Cal . In summer of '71. I listened to the radio all day and riders on the storm played constantly. I loved it and was very sad of Jim's death later... you.would have to have lived in those times to feel the vibe.
Totally. When I hear younger generation reactors listen to this they don't "get" the long drawn out instrumentals, they over analyze the words.....they try to put them in logical boxes when IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE OVERANALIZED - LIKE ABSTRACT ART
Fantastic! I was only a grade-school Baby Boomer back then, but I have to say that The Doors, to me, were the greatest band of the 1960's, especially from 1966-1970. Glad that Densmore and Krieger are still with us.
There was not, is not, nor will ever there be anyone quite like the DOORS! They blew us ALL away back then and still do! They were tagged as bigger than the Beatles or anyone else before or during their day! Simply Fabulous!🎤🎹🎸🥁🎶RIP Jim and Ray!👍
Now THAT is a band at the top of their game. And what a band. With a front man like Jim, the unique partnership of Robbie,Ray and John - was a truly magical and cosmic combination. Thank you for the music gentlemen.
One of my all time favorite videos of The Doors! Jim was in absolute fine form looking great in his Neru shirt and sporting his epic sideburns. He started growing the points at Magic Mountain in June, then cultivating to what we see here in Toronto. Then just three days later on Ed Sullivan, they’re gone. Robby is fantastic, with his opening finger picked guitar solo along with John’s classic drum style(note elbow on snare), and Ray’s phenomenal organ/bass line! Incredible performance!!!
He is pretty much the best keyboard player of all time. Jimi Hendrix is a master at guitar and ray is a master at keyboards. His bass line sounds very ominous in this because of how deep and sort of fuzzy it is. It makes the music sound gigantic.
The Foxy grandpa Imagine if Hendrix and the Doors were to have formed a super group after the recording of L.A. Woman. I mean if Hendrix and Morrison didn't die.
i dunno, Jimmi's playing wouldn't really fit the guitar style of Robby, and his guitar would overshadow Ray's organ alot. but hey, him, john lennon, and brian jones almost formed a supergroup
The Foxy grandpa I'm not sure how hendrix would fit within The Doors. Im not saying it isn't possible, ,but Hendrix's guitar playing wouldn't flow well with Kreigers guitar technique. Though I do admire Kreiger as he is one of my main inspirations to play guitar, but if he were paired against Hendrix his guitar technique seems simplistic. Not that its a bad thing, but it fits within the realm of the band. Kreiger only had a few months to adapt to the electric. Whilst Hendrix seemed to have already well established himself with the electric guitar. Hendrix would appear out of place, due to his use of heavy distortion, fuzz and tendency to solo more frequently. Its almost as if they are playing in two entirely different genres yet they are very alike in the sense. Hendrix would also have to reinvent his technique and structure to adapt with Jim's vocals accordingly to create balance.
The doors were not invited to play Monterey because they were said to be to dark. They definitely separated themselves from all the other bands during that time. Truly an amazing band.
This is one of my favorite Doors songs and this performance makes the hair on my arms stand up! You can almost visualize it. Crazy. The Doors were way ahead of their time.

True avant-garde artists. Brilliant musicians. Way, way ahead of their time.
I remember listening to this in my teens and been mezmerised. I was about 16 thinking that Jim was so old when died at 27 but now I'm in my 40's and I realise how young he was. Long live 'The Doors'
Your math is a bit off.
Your 40s! You must have been born in the eighties way after he passed away. I wish I’d been born in the sixties.
I was born in ‘78 from a gypsy and a biker. Morrison soul was sort of floating in the breeze and leapt into mine
Simply amazed at what Jim, Ray, John, and Robbie could paint sonically. Truly original greatness. Legends all.
"Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain and all the children are insane." 🤯 One of the greatest lines in Rock 'n' Roll.
naaaaaaaaaah , I'd go with "Hey ho! Lets go!"
Lost in a romance, wilderness of pain.

One of the things I love about Jim is he didn’t have a materialistic bone in his body. Once he was done with something, he’d just give it away or simply leave it behind, such as his clothes. In fact, the ring he’s wearing here on his index finger was given to Nico of the Velvet Underground and she can be seen wearing it on the cover of her LP Chelsea Girl. Also I have always loved Jim’s Slavic Nehru shirt he’s wearing here, I believe someone made it for him. He can be seen wearing this particular shirt here and also the following week in NYC before it disappears forever.
Not only that, he insisted on splitting the money four ways, including for song writing royalties. That helped everyone to get along better. After Jim died, there were unfortunate legal battles, but it was great for a while.
when we were human
I want to personally thank you Kata for the historical details you provided. It added new life to this clip that went over most people's heads.
@@geministeemers7824 absolutely!! It’s all about the details!!
@@elmoblatch9787 yes absolutely!! I don’t think people realize how incredibly rare it is for a songwriter to share his/her royalties equally. In the Doors’ case, Jim and Robby wrote most of the songs, however Ray and John greatly contributed to the structure and overall sound. So in my eyes they truly were equal. But that’s what I so love and admire about Jim, he didn’t give a shit about all the money and fame! He was absolutely positively one of a kind!
Am 61 de ani si cred ca e muzică numai pentru generația rock adevărată ❤❤❤
Ok.❤
Their performances weren't concerts, they were Happenings. Theatre, poetry + music like nothing else of their time or since. Wow, this happened in my town when I was 2 years old. I guess I missed it!
Robbie Krieger is a shaman. His guitar is a key to strange and beautiful worlds.
Key to the Doors.
Keyboards too
Morrison is the shaman and is hiding out
@@freedomfreedom9523 ? This is the end?
Unfortunately never gotta see the Doors but I did see blue oyster cult in winterland sf and they had remade roadhouse blues and they brought Robbie in to play guitar with them pretty cool
I wonder if the people standing in front of this stage new that they were viewing such a masterpiece that will be forever encapsulated in time and known as one of the greatest live performances of all time.
Yes this is one of the greatest live performances in all time.
We were all on pure acid the purple auxley 1967
@@Helena-ie1ev Yup!! and that concert lasted 20 years!! Or so it seemed.
They had no clue.

The one and only, the Lizaed King with his fellows. These guys are my neverending youth, their music taught me the fragility of life, the flowdity of time and the unspeakable of the wonders that exist in all things. Those were my lessons that felt to the bone before even having ever experienced them. That's the true magic of The Doors. Thank you forever
The best live version of this song. Sensational performance!
Robbie Crieger is an ASTONISHING guitar player. Oh my god....what a song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Krieger.
Truth! Still underrated! Certainly in my top 10 and top 14 for sure! Robby Krieger!🎸
And I have Ray and Jon Lord #s 1 & 2. Saw Deep Purple twice in early-mid 70s. Jim is my all time lead singer of ANYONE! Densmore great,too!
He absolutely is ! Back then I didn’t appreciate him like I do now.
its 2024 , im still watching this

Awesome! You got to hear it when it first played on the radio.
The Doors were so different to all other bands around that era . The music is absolutely incredible
Right ❤ its like a tripped out baseball game (the Hammond B3)
Thee BEST AMERICAN ROCK BAND EVER!!
Wow! John Densmore was such a sick drummer. No-one plays like him, or Robbie or Ray. Jim was like their shaman. No-one sounds like these guys.
i'm 83 and love it.
left out 83
❤
I'm 25 and I love it. I only wish I was able to see them live
Все здесь.Молчим.
Ride the snake
an excellent performance...Jim Morrison at his best.He lived for the present not the future...Jim was probably on another level of consciousness with which it was difficult to communicate...
I was obsessed with The Doors in the mid 90s, thought I saw everything on video, read all their books, but never seen this. Very nice.
Same...I was in a doors cover band when I was in high school... I thought ive seen everything of theirs. God bless Jim and RUclips.
I was obsessed with the doors in the eighties and I have the recording of the last Vancouver concert and my sister was there and she gave me the poster for the gig , it was laid out like the Let it be original cover with 4 color photos with the Door logo . It hung on my bedroom wall with the white album poster and black light pot posters. My buddy has the red button pin with the logo and date
❤🎉
August 2024 ❤ who’s here for this masterpiece? ❤
🤗 Almost every day 🎶
September 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful
Sept it will never die peace and love.
September!
Die BESTE BAND mit ihrem BESTEN SONG
Gänsehaut vom ersten bis zum letzten Ton!!!
Das ist auch meine allerallerliebster Song überhaupt, schon seit so vielen Jahren.
Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen 😊
Incredible!! Jim died the year I was born but The Doors Music has resonated with me my entire life . This is just a masterpiece and my favorite song of all time!
Wow!!!!! I've never seen or heard this. I'm 68 and been a doors freak since then. Thanks so much for my being able to see this. Rip Jim and Ray ✌️&❤
Was für eine tolle Band, großartige Musik!!!🎉👍🏻😍

살아서 이 영상을 볼 수 있어서 행복합니다.
사랑해요! 도어스
I agree ….it is very progressive. 2 years before 21st Schizoid Man and no-one ever mentions this song when talking about progressive rock !!!….I guess they label it as “ psychedelic “.
저도 한국인 도어스 팬입니다❤😂
A truly mind blowing performance. I don’t think there is anything more to say.
Hello Maria
How are you doing today?
Where did that voice come from? Like some Greek god reaching across thousands of years…
No bass?
@@mmfitter6731 Ray played the bass parts on the keyboard simultaneously
I was born in 1958 and when I listen to The Doors it takes me back to my psychedelic days it helps me feel Young again wow they are awesome and I'm proud to be a hippie
Jim was using autotune and couldn't dance like Michael Jackson because of his big belts
Doors were so highly innovative during that time period I can still remember those iconic concerts from 1967. Where has 56 years gone wow
I was born in 1997 and was brought up on the doors and similar bands i did have it good with some of the bands from the 90’s and early 2000’s but this era of music is absolute artwork and nobody will ever be able to reach the level of creativity Jim Morrison and all the other greats achieved. It’s a shame he didn’t get to grow old to further influence the music industry.
Four individuals, with their own talent and integrity. The blend is cosmic fireworks that makes my heart spin and my brain go soft and smooth.
Thank you🙏
You are legends❤️
This is a masterpiece that speaks of the time when the Age of Free Love and the 60's were ending. It is a very sad lament when our nation was dealing with the Vietnam War . The Doors, fronted by the genius of Jim Morrison could see the end of the Summer of Love, and then came the 70's. This is a prophetic tune, for those who can listen to more than simply the words of this song. Come on, take a chance with us.
It has been said that the Doors debut album marked a fixed turning point in the tide of history from "all you need is love.." to " We want the world and we want it now..."
Darkness had began to invade into the innocence of the earlier flowerchildren, now replaced by the "ship of fools..".
Entertain this i came from the end of the 60s all the. Greats hendrix led zepplin Janis Joplin. Great full dead. Rolling. Stones all had there transistic tunes time was truly different. For me seen. Many changes. Ups an downs you just felt different it was truly a better time to have kids. Then today brings. Waves. Of emotion. I know you that hVe. Left comment understand where I come from. Where we. Come from
Isn't it really interesting that Jim's father was an admiral in the Tonkin Gulf at the start of the Vietnam War.
This is undoubtedly the the best version I’ve ever seen.
Even to this day, and perhaps especially, this performance is jaw-dropping. I didn't think it would still have such an effect on me. There are gods among us.
totally
It's easy to sometimes forget what an incredibly tight band they were live.
This is pure Doors... elongating the songs till it becomes a sinuous and haunting ride. In some interview Ray commented that during the first performances they didn't have enough songs ready to play live and they had to make the ones they knew longer, hence having The End, Riders on the Storm and When the Music's Over the way they are nowadays... simply amazing.
This is mind blowing!! Nothing in any era can come close!
Yeah I definitely they're bands were channeling the future to the use of LSD 25 scene into an experiencing the future
These guys were incredibly cosmicly intense and surreal! I'm blown away! That singer's persona is intoxicating and mysterious all at the same time. The band is tightly feeding off each other, and clearly, all are in a musical trance. Nothing like my generations music of today. I'm hooked and want more!
I was part of that 60s 70s music scene. The Doors music was mind-opening then. And so many of their pieces were dangerous, exciting, transcendental. Just mesmerizing. I'm so glad I was a teenager in those days. The music scene was all groundbreaking and The Doors were a ticket to another realm. Just sayin'.
The lyrics in this have blown me away for 40 years. So love this tune
Just love The Doors.. absolutely cool and mesmerizing. No one will ever be like them- one of a kind band.
You were the best Jim. All we have is your music and your memories. Both are legendary.
it’s incredible how beautiful they work together yet each person is creating their own mini masterpiece
I was lucky enough to be at this concert... plus the outdoors concert at varsity stadium.. never forget... awesome!!!
where in Toronto ?
is this dt toronto?

I find this musical journey beyond words, the poetry, Jim's performance and gosh those brilliant musicians backing up his lead singer creative and wildly unpredictable trip through every song, specially this one,and they were sooo young, their music sounds much more mature (if compared to now)...they were brilliant and their creation ageless.
No. Hai. Palabras. Que pena. Su. Muerte. Te. Amooooo dónde. Estés.
1:12 I love how Jim scans the audience and then quickly scans back when he sees the camera, he had such a presence on stage unlike any of his peers.
Заворажиающее исполнение данной песни, ни что подобного я не слышал ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Это гипноз!магия!ДОРЗ,,легендарные,не во времени!Джим своим бархатным голосом завораживает!Фантастика!обожаю вас!💓🎶🎤🌟💓великие!

I wish we had something so creative today.
Their music has a spiritual quality that is rarely found in rock music to this extent.
This song is magical.❤
I was a young fireman in a remote location in nor. Cal . In summer of '71. I listened to the radio all day and riders on the storm played constantly. I loved it and was very sad of Jim's death later... you.would have to have lived in those times to feel the vibe.
Totally. When I hear younger generation reactors listen to this they don't "get" the long drawn out instrumentals, they over analyze the words.....they try to put them in logical boxes when IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE OVERANALIZED - LIKE ABSTRACT ART
Correct you are !
Fantastic! I was only a grade-school Baby Boomer back then, but I have to say that The Doors, to me, were the greatest band of the 1960's, especially from 1966-1970. Glad that Densmore and Krieger are still with us.
John was definitely one of the most dynamic drummers in rock.
Who was the guy w/the glasses? Did he used to be with the Byrds?
@@sueprator9314: That’s Ray Manzerek. No, he was never with the Byrds.
Absolutely love his drumming! 🌌
Не замечал эту слаженность и гармонию между самими музыкантами. Виртуозно
There was not, is not, nor will ever there be anyone quite like the DOORS! They blew us ALL away back then and still do! They were tagged as bigger than the Beatles or anyone else before or during their day! Simply Fabulous!🎤🎹🎸🥁🎶RIP Jim and Ray!👍
Now THAT is a band at the top of their game. And what a band. With a front man like Jim, the unique partnership of Robbie,Ray and John - was a truly magical and cosmic combination.
Thank you for the music gentlemen.
One of my all time favorite videos of The Doors! Jim was in absolute fine form looking great in his Neru shirt and sporting his epic sideburns. He started growing the points at Magic Mountain in June, then cultivating to what we see here in Toronto. Then just three days later on Ed Sullivan, they’re gone. Robby is fantastic, with his opening finger picked guitar solo along with John’s classic drum style(note elbow on snare), and Ray’s phenomenal organ/bass line! Incredible performance!!!
Ray Manzerak is by far my favorite pianist. His solo in riders on the storm was iconic.
I've loved this song forever, amazes me that this might be the first time I've seen a live version.
Same
Check out the 1968 Hollywood bowl version 😊❤
Well this is one of the best!
Ray was a fucking magician on those organs
He is pretty much the best keyboard player of all time. Jimi Hendrix is a master at guitar and ray is a master at keyboards.
His bass line sounds very ominous in this because of how deep and sort of fuzzy it is. It makes the music sound gigantic.
The Foxy grandpa Imagine if Hendrix and the Doors were to have formed a super group after the recording of L.A. Woman. I mean if Hendrix and Morrison didn't die.
i dunno, Jimmi's playing wouldn't really fit the guitar style of Robby, and his guitar would overshadow Ray's organ alot.
but hey, him, john lennon, and brian jones almost formed a supergroup
The Foxy grandpa
I'm not sure how hendrix would fit within The Doors. Im not saying it isn't possible, ,but Hendrix's guitar playing wouldn't flow well with Kreigers guitar technique. Though I do admire Kreiger as he is one of my main inspirations to play guitar, but if he were paired against Hendrix his guitar technique seems simplistic. Not that its a bad thing, but it fits within the realm of the band. Kreiger only had a few months to adapt to the electric. Whilst Hendrix seemed to have already well established himself with the electric guitar. Hendrix would appear out of place, due to his use of heavy distortion, fuzz and tendency to solo more frequently. Its almost as if they are playing in two entirely different genres yet they are very alike in the sense. Hendrix would also have to reinvent his technique and structure to adapt with Jim's vocals accordingly to create balance.
The Foxy grandpa how the fuck did u come up with this shit u fucking genius!
я вважаю це дуже чудово. Коли слухаю, то так файно мені, що душа наче з тіла вилітає
The doors were not invited to play Monterey because they were said to be to dark. They definitely separated themselves from all the other bands during that time. Truly an amazing band.
Read Mick Wall's book for the scoop on Monterey ;)
probably afraid Jim would whip it out and start playing with himself on stage again
Jim Morrison in the Doors is pre goth
@@voidremoved Monterrey was like 67, Miami and the "thing" was 69 I believe so your comment is way off and makes no sense.
@@voidremoved he hadn’t progressed to that level quite yet. But you never know because Jimbo could show up any time.
This is one of my favorite Doors songs and this performance makes the hair on my arms stand up! You can almost visualize it. Crazy. The Doors were way ahead of their time.
Ain't it so!
It literally makes you hold your breath. It truly is a master piece of music. 😮 Meet at the back of the blue bus.
This performance channels a supernatural dimension I don’t even believe in.
Jim was one of the most handsome men to ever live---like the statue of David. Exquisite!
His eyes, nose, lips, perfection and a voice to match!
He had strange eyes imo but that just adds to his charm really. Strange can be amazing.
@@desertrose1226 his eyes were gorgeous
