Ironically, by being an integral member of this band, giving musical accompaniment to Jim's poetry, he helped immortalize moments in time that had Morrison not captured thru pen on paper would've been lost forever
They were a unity, they complimented each other in every aspect. Jim would never fit in any other band aswell as the other members didnt make much music after The Doors and Jims sad passing in Paris. May Jim and Ray rest in peace, their music will live forever.
The Doors was a synergy between Morrison and Manzarek. However, you could have a Doors experience only with Morrison but none without him. His voice was the embodiment of the band, unfair as it may be.
indeed.. it only took me 15yrs of electronic music production to finally being able to fully appreciate all these little details... Ive tried hitting some drums - and playing drums is faaaar more than just hitting that drum. XD Its funny - i loved this song for almost 30 yrs and it still sounds koolAF in any version possible
I wish they made an extended instrumental version complete with thunder storm that ran 40 minutes or longer. I just love falling asleep to this song. It drains away all my anxiety.
mcashnv - True, but not so much in this song. His master strokes are to be found in songs like LA Woman, Love Her Madly, Queen of the Highway, Peace Frog and of course Light My Fire.
Listening in 2024 at 66 years old. I decided I'll dust off my guitar. I strummed the chords of younger days, And felt the fire in different ways. The calloused hands, they still recall, That music doesn’t age at all.
The bass player on this album is Jerry Scheff, Elvis's bass player, the Doors always used bass players in the studio. And the second guitarist is Marc Benno, which was great the band could stretch it more. My all time favorite song is "LA Woman" It says everything about LA that needed to be said. And yeah, LA is my hometown. Another great song is "Peace Frog", from the Morrison Hotel album. And everything from the "Strange Days" album is great. In my youth in the late 60's and early 70's I always felt that the Doors were summer midnight music. Except for "Strange Days" which was obvious to me at the time as a wintertime record.
Good info. Didn't even know there was a 2nd guitarist. Just a note, many songs in the studio were organ bass but clearly a bunch of songs are bass guitar. Lonnie Mack plays the bass on Roadhouse Blues which is interesting.
Ray has a video explaining the process of writing Riders on the Storm and he mentions exactly that, not sure if that's where you got that from, if not you should watch the video for sure.
Incredible. Morrison puts on a little show, then the music begins. It's hypnotic and haunting. Suddenly I don't feel at home anymore. I feel as though I'm in a studio with The Doors and it's 1971.
R Moocher You’re right late 1970 This version of Riders isn’t bad at all (unknown from me i’m on the subject since early eighties).Their Last Album LA Women went in LP stores in 1971 when Jim was in Paris.
We lived in West Hollywood as a kid I remember my mom went down to hang around. Jim invited her back to listen to daily re-plays it was the first part of December 1970. I used to hear them a lot around that time too. This is what they sounded like. They were always very cool, chill, down to earth guys.
We can thank Ray and Densmore for their love of Jazz and its influence to the band. I’ll forever be amazed to find that out, decades after I fell for the band. I’ll listen till the day I die.
I was just posting something similar. I had their live album, which included much of the Hollywood Bowl shows, when I was in college. On the live version of “Universal Mind”, there’s the instrumental bridge with the lilting organ that I’d always thought was something they’d made up to evoke of Summer of Love. Only decades later did I find out that was John Coltrane’s “Afro Blue”. SMH
When people start talking about, which band is the best the world has ever seen, i always say The Doors. It’s not because they have the absolute best songs ever, but it’s the sum of those 4 unique men. Perfection.
Jerry Scheff Elvis's Base Player ROCKS THIS SESSION ! Jim couldn't believe he had Elvis's TCB BasePlayer for this WHOLE ALBUM. He Shines On LA Woman Track....Thanks Jerry !!
It's crazy how the tone switched from light to dark in the studio. That is a testament of the Door's talent, rawness, and tone. It was sad when he said it will never be tape ten again like he (Jim) was going to pass away.
I love this completely. I love rain and thunder and I love dark skies. I love Jim's voice and his poetry. Ray Manzarek outdoes himself in this song. The separate bass was a great touch. The work on those keyboards is beyond description; it can only be experienced. This is my favorite Doors song and this version is incredible. Aaah, to be able to go back in time and sit in that room while theyre playing this !!!
I think they knew...the band collectively liked Coltrane and there was always a good blend of jazz, classical, flamenco, raga and rock with The Doors...plus Jim was a crooner at heart...listen to Blue Sunday!!!
@@MustangBoss1973 ah yes, the yellow and black 69 Boss 302. Owned one for over 30 years. Still dream about driving it and wake up with chills. Had Norris full race cam, crane roller rockers, one of first 500 with the cross drilled crank, .30 over fully balanced trw's, hooker headers with burned out glass pacs. My mom used to say she could hear me coming 10 minutes before I ever got there. She'd rev forever and a day...
There were more than 1 US ship involved in the Gulf of Tonkin deception, his ship didn't "start Vietnam". The politicians who wanted war, just overblew the event, to give them what they wanted. Of note, George Morrison tried to blow the lid on the deliberate attack on the USS liberty by the Israeli air force. He wasn't the devil, just misguided to think the politicians ever cared about the truth.
Yeah when you see him in his interview about his son's life and career he comes across as a man of great decency and integrity. Both father and son were a credit to their country in different ways.
The Doors were the first American group, which wasn't pieced together from some previous "super group" to have a #1 hit single on their very 1st record. The 1st to stay on the top 20 for SIX MONTHS! The first American group to earn a platinum album. ALL heir studio albums went gold. There was nothing like them before, and nothing like them since. Q: Who did they sound like? A: Nobody! The Doors sounded like "The Doors". They were American Originals! So.... is everybody in?!
dave johnson Don’t let any mutants in! Hilarious! The Doors just may be the Best American Band of All Time! Proof? Their first albums a classic and their last albums a classic! How many groups can do that? Almost none!Amazing and Unreal!
dave johnson First R&R band to advertise their album on a billboard, and Jim was the first singer to be actually be arrested on stage whilst performing. Long live The Doors. The 60s had a magical quality that unfortunately went right over my head at the time because I was too young (born 1958). This version of this song is amazing.
First time I discovered the Doors I didn't speak English the second time now that I'm able and the third will be to find out if the lyrics have other mining
The Doors literally changed the way appreciate music. My favourite band. I’m 27 but I wish I was in my 60’s/70’s remembering all the Doors concerts I was ever at. The most unique band in history. Much love
a bridge between primitive minimalism and elevated,universal poetic thought - I play jazz/cocktail gigs and usually finish with Riders On the Storm which ALWAYS elicits a kind of "shock and awe" thunderous applause
First time watching this. Take 10 is fantastic. I love what Jim Morrison told Ray Manzarek and how the rest of the band understood ... The studio version became a hit but this different garage style version is superb!
Ray said in an interview that he hated the movie guy, referring to the Oliver Stone movie, because he was always drunk or high, this is proof of Jim's joy and how others enjoyed his presence
@@josephschlichting4339 yeah it's good music and great how the director travel back the wild 60s but he did not made a good job with re-creating Jim's character
@@thebreadsam01 no, he did... He just showed an individual destructive side of Morrison that controlled the real life story to the point that Morrison made numerous enemies within the industry, almost ended his own band and brought on his own ending.
Just another masterpiece for the ages. I can count myself lucky to have lived at that time to witness eternally great music.

This song evokes the most incredible feelings. I first heard this song in Hollis, New Hampshire at Silver Lake Beach. I was just laying on the warm sand listening to an oldies station and this song came on. It was a perfectly sunny day and as this song came on a quick rain shower passed through with a hint of lightning. It's been my favorite song ever since and it brings me back to that special day at Silver Lake Beach
I was 17 in 1979. I was alone in town (Wolverhampton, England). I went to the Odeon cinema to see Apocalypse Now......I stayed to the end credits to see who played the opening tracks.....that’s when I heard ‘The End’....then I was hooked on the doors all my life.
Manzarek c'est de l;a merde avec ces synthé à son de musiques de casino ....Mets un garry numan à la place de manzarek et les doors aurait été 1000 x meilleurs !
This is one of the classic songs from a really fantastic group I just love their music and followed their careers this is a superb version the Doors Music will forever live on
My best listen : August last century ,the weather was incredibly hot !! 38 degrees !! I was driving in the country listening to it ,all glasses closed ,music louder ,but with the climatisation opened wide to 20 !!! A Real real pleasure to hear the rain and Manzareck' s great feeling !!!
As a Doors fan, thus inevitably attached to the figure of Jim Morrison, I find it somehow moving to hear him still so involved in the music production process during a period where, according to the chronicles, he'd already gone down an apparently irreversible negative spiral.
Right, the chronicles would have us believe that by this time, Jim was Blotto drunk and dysfunctional most of his waking hours. What crap-really frustrating.
Was a fan of this LP, back then ‘73. Still am, now ´24. This blend of blush and jazz throughout this song and through this whole LP, combined with the grace of Morrison and magic of Krieger / Manzarek / Densmore , just lives by
Couldn’t listen to The Doors for ten years after being Jim in a Doors tribute for ten years - (UK Doors) - till recently and it’s reminded me just how great they were. All their songs are good - hardly any groups can boast that - not even The Beatles ! Some will of course disagree - but I’m thick skinned - I can take the hits - c’maaaan !!!!!! Rxx
'81 or '82 came home drunk at 2 am during a TStorm, opened up my apartment sliding doors to the balcony, put my 100 watt stereo speakers outside and blasted this song. Woke up the other tenants and had them screaming for more. . .well at least most of them. Woke my roomies up as well and we drank into the morning while playing Doors tunes. The rental office was not happy!
Sounds like my crazy partying days in the early 80's. Not a care in the world! The only worry was when is the next party and what beer is on sale this week. My brother and I were asked to move because the new owner was not a party person and hated our acid rock. Then on to the next place until our act got old again.
That magical stormy,rainy start pulls you in & along for one sweet ride.... my favorite song ever ! I can remember the first time I heard this song... I was riding along with my sister and brother-in-law through the mountains of New Hampshire and it was a rainy,stormy day how perfect it was 😎 Thank you Jim,Ray,Robbie & John..... "THE DOORS"
5 років тому+7
I am listening to them for the rest of my life. I love them! So perfect are they
I'm grateful to say my dad showed me this band. He was blessed to grow up with it, like with many other bands, where they were all at their highest points. Now I'm stuck with all of these really good bands and great music to watch them slowly fade away from the media to hear the fateful news *that* day. With Jim though, it wasn't the case, which is even more depressing. Long Live Morrison. Keep Mr. Mojo Risin' to the top.
I was six when Morrison died but due to my older siblings I had the doors music around me non stop. LA Woman is my personal favorite album to this day. Great tracks in my opinion. “Doors rule”
This is absolutely fucking magical. At the Thanksgiving table, I give thanks to the Doors. I love the Doors. I love you Jim Morrison. Rest peacefully brother.
Robbie is playing some really cool rhythm guitar behind the keyboard solo. I don't know that I ever noticed that on the "official"version. Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
57 now went camping once in Terryglass Ireland alone once when I was 18 overlooking lough derg listening to this song on a cassette player watching the rain slowly coming across the lake sitting in front of a nice camp fire. Heavenly experience. The doors got me interested in poetry.
@Louise X Not really.Jack Holzman,the founder of Elektra,had actually one big archive (probably,the biggest one) of special effects sounds or sounds of natural phenomena (like the thunder,in this case).He also borrowed or sold these effects or sounds to other artists in the music or even in the cinema field,so that they could use them the way they wanted.I suppose that the strange sound in the middle of "Hello,I love you" or the shot of the rifle in "Unknown Soldier" came from this archive as well.I own a book about Elektra and it was interesting to read this info.-(sorry about my bad english,it is not my mother language :))
This is an awesome addition to my Sunday evening of mediocrity. This just about smacked me into a different time - decades ago when I was a college student, hauling my guitar through a stormy night after sitting through a nice long play of this tune. Rain all over. Beautiful rain. Beautiful Doors. Thanks.
I wish there was an "eh" button to mark videos that you neither like or dislike but just want to mark that you have watched it so don't bother. Of course not this video.
The more I listen to the Doors the more I realize how well they all fit together to create the whole. How can anyone say the band was this person or that? Ultimately, without Morrison, whom the other three had issues with his drinking and antics, they faded away. It took all four to create that essence known as the Doors. It may have been to their advantage that Jim had very little musical knowledge as it would allow the dynamic of 'musicians/Front man'. The Doors were sold on Jim Morrison's image and mysterious personality and Lyrics, but their music is timeless and stands the test of time
screwing around more screwing around and then ... the music starts and I’m carried away in Morrisons world by his lyrics and lost in the magical musical fog created by Ray, Robby & John. Simply amazing!
Man, Jim slipped into Eternity 47 years ago... he's been dead longer than he lived... yet, here I sit listening to his voice and the music the band and Jim played... Is this what some will call "The Legacy" of a man..? Is he greater than any other human being that has lived and died...? No.Period
Close your eyes! Pretend your in this studio and Jim is the center of your universe! He’s belting out tunes that are withstanding time! It had to be a historic moment watching this take place!!
I can remember when I first heard this song in the 70’s. It was just simply hypnotic from start to finish! Still is all these years later! I don’t know how The Doors weren’t considered the single greatest American band of all time! But with Jim’s passing I guess too many fell to the wayside. His and their followers to me are able to see and feel they’re genius! Just love that iconic sound it’s perfection start to finish!
Timing is perfect. The bass & drums slither together... wonderfully. The whole of "Take 10" is inspired. I also "loved it." Thanks Jim, Ray... "The Doors".
This last album was better and more powerful than the first and it was done without Rothchild which shows how the band grew in talent. My fav. is Texas Radio.... great album.
"You don't make music for immortality, you make music for the moment, for capturing the sheer joy of being alive on planet earth." --Ray Manzarek.
Love this Thanks for Sharing!
Jim?
Well said
Ironically, by being an integral member of this band, giving musical accompaniment to Jim's poetry, he helped immortalize moments in time that had Morrison not captured thru pen on paper would've been lost forever
Yes he's right, but The Doors have done both. Is this music not for eternaty ?
beautiful... Jim really was lucky to have such an unbelievable band to back his poetry. Long live The Doors.
They were a unity, they complimented each other in every aspect. Jim would never fit in any other band aswell as the other members didnt make much music after The Doors and Jims sad passing in Paris. May Jim and Ray rest in peace, their music will live forever.
i agree they dont get as much credit as they should have but it is what it is
Oh yeah 🐸
Tom R Yep... But Ray and the guys were even luckier to have had a genius as their lead singer and songwriter.
word!
I just decided I'm going to listen to the doors all day.
+Sweet3532 A MUST…I got thrown out of my house on DOORS~E
+Sweet3532 never tired of them
+Sweet3532 not a really hard thing to do :)
Cool
Sweet3532 Story of My Life
The Doors have a sound unlike any other band ever. Instantly recognizable. I think Mamzareck's organ playing is a big part
Pink Floyd did too (; amazing unique bands!! sucks to know that music will never be as good as it was back then lol
Darrin Stinson Who’s Mamzareck?
The Doors was a synergy between Morrison and Manzarek. However, you could have a Doors experience only with Morrison but none without him. His voice was the embodiment of the band, unfair as it may be.
Nothing taken from anyone but I think Ray was the magic ingredient, listen to his interviews
I'd know that shimmering keyboard out of a sound sleep.
Densmore's drumming is so underrated. He's got such a great touch.
I notice it especially in their live recordings.
indeed.. it only took me 15yrs of electronic music production to finally being able to fully appreciate all these little details... Ive tried hitting some drums - and playing drums is faaaar more than just hitting that drum. XD Its funny - i loved this song for almost 30 yrs and it still sounds koolAF in any version possible
Densmore is a brilliant musician
he was one of the greatest. and yes underappreciated. That's just the way it goes living with that superstar Jim eh?
Some musicians just fit with certain bands.
John Bonham Perfect for Led Zeppelin
Keith Moon Perfect for The Who
John Densmore Perfect for The Doors.
I am 66 years old and feel myself young by hearing this music!!! Thanks for posting and like!
Music is the time machine.bless you
J’ai aussi 66 ans FRANCE et j’adore Jim Morrison et les Doors ❤️❤️❤️ cette chanson est géniale !!! J’adore et je l’écoute très souvent ...
Those were the days!
Music is a time machine, brilliant. I feel like I am in grade school when I listen to The Doors.
I was 8 in 1966 now 66 i'm stiil a young man still a dors fan peace/❤
I wish they made an extended instrumental version complete with thunder storm that ran 40 minutes or longer. I just love falling asleep to this song. It drains away all my anxiety.
I always listen to this song before bed lol!!
John Densmore is a criminally underrated drummer
mcashnv 👍👍
No is not, he is the drummer of the DOORS!
mcashnv - True, but not so much in this song. His master strokes are to be found in songs like LA Woman, Love Her Madly, Queen of the Highway, Peace Frog and of course Light My Fire.
Jim Morrison wanted him replaced! Ray talked him out of it!
Yeah right and Jesus Christ is one of the most underrated sons of god.
One of the most hypnotic songs ever recorded...
You can totally tell how Ray used this take as a sketch for creating that master piece of art solo on the song. Man! we miss you Ray! ❤
Check out his post Doors song “Golden Scarab”. It’s very funky and actually describes Egyptian mythology.
È stato un grande Ray!❤
I'm 55 years old...oh shit, almost 56. I've been listening to the Doors since I was a teenager, and I never grow tired of them. This was fantastic.
Amen brother 47 and still love it.....wish I could have been born in that era and lived it...80 rocked tho
I’m 76 .....first heard them on the radio August 1967 (Light My Fire)...they made The Beatles sound like children.
Almost 52 and they are my favorite band period jimbo is my idol
A teenager? You been listening since you were in nursery school and same here! What a cool thing
I’m 61...been listening since age 8. Still enthralled with The Doors.
Listening in 2024 at 66 years old. I decided I'll dust off my guitar.
I strummed the chords of younger days,
And felt the fire in different ways.
The calloused hands, they still recall,
That music doesn’t age at all.
Ray’s keyboards is sheer genius - so understated, so tasteful, so moody.
It is a blessing to be able to hear this amazing music...then, and here now February 2023

I thought I did

Manzarek c'est de l;a merde avec ces synthé à son de musiques de casino ....Mets un garry numan à la place de manzarek et les doors aurait été 1000 x meilleurs !
Rest easy “Mr Mojo Risin” thanks for the ride 🐍
The doors will ride on to eternity and their music will never die. Can we say the same about today's forgettable "music " ?. Hell no !
This is a great version of the song. Hell, I love everything the Doors have done.
This is one of the classic songs from a really fantastic group I just love their music and followed their careers this is a superb version the Doors Music will forever live on
My best listen : August last century ,the weather was incredibly hot !! 38 degrees !! I was driving in the country listening to it ,all glasses closed ,music louder ,but with the climatisation opened wide to 20 !!! A Real real pleasure to hear the rain and Manzareck' s great feeling !!!
As a Doors fan, thus inevitably attached to the figure of Jim Morrison, I find it somehow moving to hear him still so involved in the music production process during a period where, according to the chronicles, he'd already gone down an apparently irreversible negative spiral.
Right, the chronicles would have us believe that by this time, Jim was Blotto drunk and dysfunctional most of his waking hours. What crap-really frustrating.
Totally agree. Dumb gutter press point of view. Even in his last interviews he comes over as ahead of the game.
Guys like Jim are usually exactly as wasted as they wanna be.
Was a fan of this LP, back then ‘73.
Still am, now ´24.
This blend of blush and jazz throughout this song and through this whole LP, combined with the grace of Morrison and magic of Krieger / Manzarek / Densmore , just lives by
Sublime vocals and exquisite music, Rays keyboard is unforgettable. What a band, glad I was around to hear them.
Timeless......never get tired of listening!
I will never stop listen to The Doors. Till the end.
My only friend the end
exactly
As Jim would say - Right On !!
That's the real Jim, hilarious and goofy... Thanks for all the great music. Love ya!
Yeah cause You know the real Jim :)
Uma F This ain’t the Doors.
Bet his pops beat the shat out of him daily
Jim didn't even know the real Jim.
Let's bring Jim and Ray back. I don't care how. Just bring them back.
Couldn’t listen to The Doors for ten years after being Jim in a Doors tribute for ten years - (UK Doors) - till recently and it’s reminded me just how great they were. All their songs are good - hardly any groups can boast that - not even The Beatles ! Some will of course disagree - but I’m thick skinned - I can take the hits - c’maaaan !!!!!! Rxx
that "little ole' psychedelic band from Malibu"? it's not easy to be Jim; you'd be a good singer & good looking too.so, i'm now your friend too
This is "Take 10", now. Never be "Take 10", again!
Blue Jazzman I
Okay, they smoked a joint and it became Take 100!
What is the meaning of this? Explain me please, I'm not native speaker. Thanks!
@@danieldrogin14 - It was the tenth time they recorded the same song ....
@@danieldrogin14 Just like in the movies
'81 or '82 came home drunk at 2 am during a TStorm, opened up my apartment sliding doors to the balcony, put my 100 watt stereo speakers outside and blasted this song. Woke up the other tenants and had them screaming for more. . .well at least most of them. Woke my roomies up as well and we drank into the morning while playing Doors tunes. The rental office was not happy!
It’s interesting the way memory works.
Sounds like my crazy partying days in the early 80's. Not a care in the world! The only worry was when is the next party and what beer is on sale this week. My brother and I were asked to move because the new owner was not a party person and hated our acid rock. Then on to the next place until our act got old again.
Well done John!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!
That magical stormy,rainy start pulls you in & along for one sweet ride.... my favorite song ever ! I can remember the first time I heard this song... I was riding along with my sister and brother-in-law through the mountains of New Hampshire and it was a rainy,stormy day how perfect it was 😎 Thank you Jim,Ray,Robbie & John.....
"THE DOORS"
I am listening to them for the rest of my life. I love them! So perfect are they
I'm grateful to say my dad showed me this band. He was blessed to grow up with it, like with many other bands, where they were all at their highest points. Now I'm stuck with all of these really good bands and great music to watch them slowly fade away from the media to hear the fateful news *that* day. With Jim though, it wasn't the case, which is even more depressing. Long Live Morrison. Keep Mr. Mojo Risin' to the top.
I was six when Morrison died but due to my older siblings I had the doors music around me non stop. LA Woman is my personal favorite album to this day. Great tracks in my opinion. “Doors rule”
love just listening to bands in the studio figuring out the song an how it is going to sound or not sound on the Record...
I agree!
Hearing them talking about adding in thunder noises is just amazing
Yes soundgarden is a fun one man its awesome hesring wht they can come up with just hanging out recording
This version gives me chills, then again The DOORS always have that effect.
This is absolutely fucking magical. At the Thanksgiving table, I give thanks to the Doors. I love the Doors.
I love you Jim Morrison.
Rest peacefully brother.
I just love their sound as harmonically and rhythmically monotonous as it sounds. Truly one of a kind and timeless.
Changes are kinda overrated sometimes. Groove is superior.
Robbie is playing some really cool rhythm guitar behind the keyboard solo. I don't know that I ever noticed that on the "official"version. Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
Very understated ad classy
Still sends shivers down my spine. Will always love the Doors.
How much would you pay to go back and sit in that studio? Priceless!
To watch Dionisys at his creative best
That is incredible ! I just had that thought myself. If I could just time travel back there and just be right in the middle of this activity. Wow !
I would sell out my SOUL out, Dude!!!
Isn't that what we just did?
Jon The big M my fucking life
57 now went camping once in Terryglass Ireland alone once when I was 18 overlooking lough derg listening to this song on a cassette player watching the rain slowly coming across the lake sitting in front of a nice camp fire. Heavenly experience. The doors got me interested in poetry.
Humanity treated us with this gem of an artist. Never again
completely blown away by the quality of take 10!
“Hey that’s a good idea, thunder”
Andrew Sambrano xdxdxd
I know what a good idea hey let's record thunder in Arizona 😎
Like rain
@Louise X added later
@Louise X Not really.Jack Holzman,the founder of Elektra,had actually one big archive (probably,the biggest one) of special effects sounds or sounds of natural phenomena (like the thunder,in this case).He also borrowed or sold these effects or sounds to other artists in the music or even in the cinema field,so that they could use them the way they wanted.I suppose that the strange sound in the middle of "Hello,I love you" or the shot of the rifle in "Unknown Soldier" came from this archive as well.I own a book about Elektra and it was interesting to read this info.-(sorry about my bad english,it is not my mother language :))
This is an awesome addition to my Sunday evening of mediocrity. This just about smacked me into a different time - decades ago when I was a college student, hauling my guitar through a stormy night after sitting through a nice long play of this tune. Rain all over. Beautiful rain. Beautiful Doors. Thanks.
MB Jones Yeah man. This reminds me sundays with family all toghether watching old tv movies in Brazil. So organic and harmonic just like family.
MB Jones quit lying. Story is bland and not unique
Maximiliano Bonzon wait until Sunday then
There's Nothing mediocre about Jim Morrison. I'm sure that wasn't you're intension. He was so far ahead of his he's in this time.
Bob Barry
Never heard this before,and I've been a fan of The Doors for over 30 yrs.
Thanks man.
Liked and subbed.
Ted Ex -these are the real moments that makes the internet great.
Me too! First Doors song was this one and a year or two later, the movie came out. Love these guys..
I believe this is the last song the Doors recorded together. What a finish..........
Gentle, beautiful and raw.
The Doors had such a great blues influence, so much talent.
I wish there was a love button .
I wish there was an "eh" button to mark videos that you neither like or dislike but just want to mark that you have watched it so don't bother.
Of course not this video.
The most deep and meaningful comment here :)
❤️
There is, but many men have trouble finding it😂
@@amberbest6942 Poor guys
A big 'Yes Hi' to all everyone listening to this track today March 2020.
Ya'll be good.
The Van likewise buddy
@@ChristianW1975 It's now April and some of us are still listening.
👏🏼✌🏼😎
September 2020 The Doors still magic 50 years later ❤
Excellent !! Thank You Very Much Bob Barry
🌠 Jim R🌹P
🌠 Ray R🌹P
Incredible audio! I love this! It's like you're right there with them in the studio. Thanks for posting this.
The more I listen to the Doors the more I realize how well they all fit together to create the whole. How can anyone say the band was this person or that? Ultimately, without Morrison, whom the other three had issues with his drinking and antics, they faded away. It took all four to create that essence known as the Doors. It may have been to their advantage that Jim had very little musical knowledge as it would allow the dynamic of 'musicians/Front man'. The Doors were sold on Jim Morrison's image and mysterious personality and Lyrics, but their music is timeless and stands the test of time
“Don’t let any a, mutants in here’a”.
Jim’s the best. Dudes a crack up.
never be take 10 ever again HE WAS SO RIGHT jim wherever your at I love the words you left us with
Keyboards and drums with Morrison's lyrics aimed this group into history. Tasty chops and feel
I think this is my favorite version it's raw and well it's scarier.
screwing around more screwing around and then ... the music starts and I’m carried away in Morrisons world by his lyrics and lost in the magical musical fog created by Ray, Robby & John. Simply amazing!
still one of my favorite songs, I can play this song all day long
Far superior version. So much more organic. Really draws you into the story.
Dwayne Koblitz o
Nah. The one on the album is slower and darker. I prefer that one, but this is good as well.
Both are good. This one is raw though.
Naw. Album version is more mysterious. Both cool.
Solos aren't as sure footed and memorable on this version.
Man, Jim slipped into Eternity 47 years ago... he's been dead longer than he lived... yet, here I sit listening to his voice and the music the band and Jim played... Is this what some will call "The Legacy" of a man..? Is he greater than any other human being that has lived and died...? No.Period
He is greater than any other human being
He is not dead
Each time a song is performed by any well-known group it's an alternate take, isn't it? I Love this song. I Love the doors.
I'm a hypocrite. I used to hate the Doors. Now I love them. This song is a masterpiece.
Poet at his peak and best God bless the doors 🚪 thankyou for the music my lizard king rest in peace 🙏!
Girl you gotta love your man 🔥🔥🙌🏽
Close your eyes! Pretend your in this studio and Jim is the center of your universe! He’s belting out tunes that are withstanding time! It had to be a historic moment watching this take place!!
I can remember when I first heard this song in the 70’s. It was just simply hypnotic from start to finish! Still is all these years later! I don’t know how The Doors weren’t considered the single greatest American band of all time! But with Jim’s passing I guess too many fell to the wayside. His and their followers to me are able to see and feel they’re genius! Just love that iconic sound it’s perfection start to finish!
Timing is perfect. The bass & drums slither together... wonderfully. The whole of "Take 10" is inspired. I also "loved it." Thanks Jim, Ray... "The Doors".
This last album was better and more powerful than the first and it was done without Rothchild which shows how the band grew in talent. My fav. is Texas Radio.... great album.
Immaculate
Frank Stoeffler The whole album smoked!
First album was great, mystical, haunting, joyful, you name it, the doors music has it all.
I have to agree L.A. Woman is a masterpiece...The album has balls of steel..
I disagree. First two albums are their best.
Woowww is amazing performance.. thanks !!!!!
Can just imagine how much recordings exists that hasn't been released 😲
