Jim Morrison had a voice that was literally spellbinding. I honestly feel like I’m slipping into a trance when I hear him sing. Just a true once in a lifetime talent. It’s such a shame that we only had the good fortune of having a person like him for a very brief 27 years, of which only 6-7 years were spent making music.RIP Jim Morrison.😢
I remember seeing this as a young teen on The Ed Sullivan Show - and I remember thinking “that has to be the coolest guy on planet earth”. It depressed me thinking that I would never have him as a boyfriend. 😂
This is my favorite song by The Doors, especially when it was live on The Ed Sullivan Show back in 1967 and Ed Sullivan got VERY MAD at The Doors for singing "Higher" in the song !
My brother brought home the first Doors album. Would play over and over. I think I was around 9 or 10? Love the music to this day. Beautiful voice of Jim Morrison. Haunting music.
After the song Ed Sullivan's brother-in-law, the show's booking agent came running up and screaming at the Doors. "You'll never play this show again!" The Doors reply, That's cool, we just did."*
Jim was from another place swept from all the ancient poets and Greek legends. Born 80 years ago today. Might as well have been a thousand. Happy Birthday, Jim.
Wow, what an incredible performance!!!! So much before his time- he ushered in rock-and-roll to an era watching Lawrence Welk, and he became an overnight rock star! Still my favorite band!
You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire The time to hesitate is through No time to wallow in the mire Try now we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, yeah The time to hesitate is through No time to wallow in the mire Try now we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, yeah You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire Try to set the night on fire Try to set the night on fire Try to set the night on fire
I love them. It's just so strange to see this man alive because he's been dead as long as I've been alive, and had been long before then. I've only heard his voice and seen pictures, but never any moving videos of him.
I was 9 when he died but I have 4 older brothers that were 18-24 an they all played music..2 lead guitarist,one bass an one played organ..they were fantastic an could play this song really well..but I was too young to really know what it was all about..I just luved the music..only later as I grew older did I learn about the drugs an jim passing like he did..I am just fascinated with the doors an their music..I've heard that ray passed to the other side with jim,an I see robbie now an again on you tube but does anyone know anything about their drummer? Just wondering..
That voice. I feel so grateful that I saw him perform live just a few yards away from me. Sad -- it was his last performance. He was so much more than a performer. There’s a great interview of his father. He was so cute. A staunch military man. 2 complete opposites, of course. Obviously loved his son very much. Worth the watch.
@desertrose1226: As much as I tried, I could not see any resemblance to his father - but I am sure that Mr. Morrison was a good looking man when he was young.
@@user-vg1tt3vg9y its a fake genre half the rappers nowadays pretty much only talk shit and act like they are living on the edge to look cool People like jim actually lived like That
Yes ole Ed got so mad at Jim that he told Jim you will never do a Ed Sullivan Show ever again and Jim replied hey man we just did the Ed sullivan show, Lol, true story!
The Difference between Jim Morrison & Mick Jagger is that Jim Morrison had the BALLS to break the rules. Screw the rules I'm gonna sing HIGHER anyway. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Amazed how he wasn’t even allowed to sing ‘we couldn’t get much HIGHER” back then and now we got so called singers these days getting away with all kinds of shit. How times change.
Wow look how fine they look...come on baby...go to The House of Blues in Vegas December 5,2019 in Las Vegas Nevada...they look and sing great too...BEYOND FUN!!!!
You mean he Goff tried and failed to look like Jim. Just because you saw one person before the of their doesn’t mean Jim looks like someone who came after him.

0:27 The smirk on Robby Krieger's face here says it all.
also in 0:57
@@sofnotfun Robby made a face like: "I love this bastard"
@@estebanlopez853 Robby is thinking to himself " Jim Morrison is Such a BAD ASS ".
Robby was thinking" tee hee Jim said Higher anyway"

What a moment in time. This song was so ahead of its time. Jim Morrison's performance is electrifying.
Dont say HIGHER.........
JIM: HIGHER
Dude, Jim simply was cooler than any other rockstar ever born
My sentiment exactly, Omar Montalvo!
Agreed.
True dat, for about 2 years. By '69 the dream was dead.
The definition of dudes want to be him n girls want to be with him
Definitely a second for me but David Bowie exists so he’s top, definitely a hard choice though
I love how this is the actual audio of a live performance on the show and not just overdub as people do.
Explain the ban
This is my favorite song by The Doors, especially when it was live on The Ed Sullivan Show back in 1967 and Ed Sullivan got VERY MAD at The Doors for singing "Higher" in the song !
Boundaries have certainly been pushed since then.
He really didn't tho
No wonder, this cool song was ever recycled by UB40.
My brother brought home the first Doors album. Would play over and over. I think I was around 9 or 10? Love the music to this day. Beautiful voice of Jim Morrison. Haunting music.
My aunt saw them at a house party in Venice Beach
Your aunts a badass
lucky sod & she got out alive to tell the tale. Rock 'n' Roll 🤘🤘
More details???
His voice sounded so deep and kind of mysterious.
Face was too. He had one of the most interesting faces I’ve ever seen.
@@desertrose1226 Could look at it all day.
After the song Ed Sullivan's brother-in-law, the show's booking agent came running up and screaming at the Doors. "You'll never play this show again!" The Doors reply, That's cool, we just did."*
Best damn live version of this song by them!!! The primal scream of The Lizard King !
Jim was from another place swept from all the ancient poets and Greek legends. Born 80 years ago today. Might as well have been a thousand. Happy Birthday, Jim.
"every girl wants to be with him and every men wants to be like him"
I guess one could say he nailed it.
Man we just Did the Sullivan show!
He realy had an incredible voice , deep and passionate.
The doors making history... 1:06 one of the best screams in rock
Wow, what an incredible performance!!!! So much before his time- he ushered in rock-and-roll to an era watching Lawrence Welk, and he became an overnight rock star! Still my favorite band!
This is about music, not your life story.....
@@Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward Good thing you spent the time to read my lengthy "life story" and reply. 😂 Your hilarious man!
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

In love with The Doors since 1993!
God bless you for that !
There
certainly wasn't any good music being made in 93
exactly the year they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame!!!
@@leejackson4724 there was plenty of great music being made in 93
Better late than never lol
@@leejackson4724not lots but still better than the horseshit we have today.
The song that got them Permanently Banned from the Show
In which I believe Densmore said they only wanted to play it once just to do it probably bc the Stones and Beatles had been on.
I love them. It's just so strange to see this man alive because he's been dead as long as I've been alive, and had been long before then. I've only heard his voice and seen pictures, but never any moving videos of him.
Omg I feel the exact same it’s so weird
I was 9 when he died but I have 4 older brothers that were 18-24 an they all played music..2 lead guitarist,one bass an one played organ..they were fantastic an could play this song really well..but I was too young to really know what it was all about..I just luved the music..only later as I grew older did I learn about the drugs an jim passing like he did..I am just fascinated with the doors an their music..I've heard that ray passed to the other side with jim,an I see robbie now an again on you tube but does anyone know anything about their drummer?

" It's just so strange", When your strange, When your straaaaange.
You'll see a few great videos of the doors, like Roadhouse Blues ,I love the Doors

There’s a great interview of his father. He was so cute. A staunch military man. 2 complete opposites, of course. Obviously loved his son very much. Worth the watch.
The sadness in his fathers eyes at the end was just beautiful in its own way he was longing for his lost son
@williamgallucci9913: I know. I observed the same in his father.
Admiral Morrison looks like my grandfather a little bit. Jim looked nothing like his dad.
@desertrose1226: As much as I tried, I could not see any resemblance to his father - but I am sure that Mr. Morrison was a good looking man when he was young.
JIM MORRISON’S AUTHENTICITY IT IS UNIQUE FOREVER 🌹💜🌹💜💕💕💕💕💕💕
THE ULTIMATE FUCKING CLASSIC !!!
👍🏻🪙👍🏻
If Jim was in his early 20s now he would do it all again.
We need rockstars like him again all these wack ass rappers nowadays
@@urki4224 but that's a completely different genre?
@@user-vg1tt3vg9y its a fake genre half the rappers nowadays pretty much only talk shit and act like they are living on the edge to look cool People like jim actually lived like That
@@urki4224 what a boomer
He’d get nowhere today, because he wasn’t shit. He could actually sing.
Love him😌❤️💐🙏 he looks like he is in a trance singing. PS love how bandmate smiles after Jim was warned😂
He was probably high. 😁
Beautiful! Magical!
Morrison the king of the Kings forever
Thats soooooo great. And Robbies having a fun time. Jims vocals giving me the chills

53 YEARS LATER.
This got the Ed Sullivan show permanently banned from The Doors
Em 1972, o programa de Ed Sullivan acabou... (In 1972, the Ed Sullivan's show gets over...)
The one & only
The time to hesitate is through...Just remember that in evry piece of your timelife... Other says "Carpe Diem"
See you can't say higher on Television ,so can you say Girl we couldn't get much better. Just gimme five mins , Ok Groovy .
Or you can say "Girl, you can bite my wire"...
Jim morrison said just the word.
The Difference between Jim Morrison & Mick Jagger is that Jim Morrison had the BALLS to break the rules. Screw the rules I'm gonna sing HIGHER anyway.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Jim screwed the rules while Mick just screwed everything.
The Greatest One...Jim !

He was the lizard king and he done everything.
Amazed how he wasn’t even allowed to sing ‘we couldn’t get much HIGHER” back then and now we got so called singers these days getting away with all kinds of shit. How times change.
You'll never play the Sullivan show again.
Morrison: We just DID the Ed Sullivan show!
could you replace higher with happier? haha

Did Jim Morrison ever smile?
Yes! Check out the airport ‘interview’ of the Doors where they’re checking through. Jim gives a big smile..
LES PORTES .
wait!, did he say 'get much higher?!'...
NATO PER ESSERE UN MITO...
-- what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul ?? - Jesus
I'm a little confused. So you want me to light your funeral pyre or not?
What were you doing when you were 24yo?
Enjoying being young..
They didn't bottle it unlike the rolling stones
He look like The Hoff Michael Knight.
I always thought Michael Knight kinda looked like Jim...
You mean he Goff tried and failed to look like Jim. Just because you saw one person before the of their doesn’t mean Jim looks like someone who came after him.
he doesn't look like him at all ... Jim was more handsome and had more charisma.
but JM was more handsome than David Hasselhoff was at the same age
Zac Efron looks more like Hasselhoff imo. Jim looked like Michael Hutchence
He look like Garth Knight.
He looks like the coolest guy on planet Earth.
