Travis is doing well, living in Arizona working on his Sobriety. Hoping the best for him in his future endeavors
I'm so happy to hear that I thank you for sharing that
I hope he finds some grounding and finds what he wants I want him to come back to music but I wish for his own peace of mind
Artists are blessed and cursed by a double edged sw0rd
I understand
Absolutely flawless. The story of Travis Meeks breaks my goddamn heart. He looks so healthy here! 😢 He is one of the most profoundly underrated/best musicians of all time.
I agree 100%....another underrated musical genius
Didn't he have a good start? I saw him on an intervention repeat, it seems like his issues led to him being unable to work w others and not getting work done.
One of the greatest artists that people might forget... Hopefully we won't
I'm 27 and I greatly appreciate this mans talents. Never ceases to blow my mind!
Dude is so serious. I pray for him constantly to make a triumphant comeback.
Jim would be proud ❤️ Travis did an amazing job
This is an amazing rendition of this song. What an incredible talent Travis Meeks is. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone handle a Doors song like this. He’s incredible. Unfortunately, just too many demons to overcome. I wish him well, and hope to see him in the future.
Even at 16/17 Travis had that profound voice, this cover is a gem
Just watched the Intervention featuring Travis. So fucking sad. In addition to this perfect performance, Days' second album was a straight up masterpiece. I hope he revisits this performance and realizes how good life could be for him.
The yellow album was the 1st masterpiece.
Really
A special guy
Easily the highpoint of Meeks' career. Hard to find a guy more F'd up than Jim Morrison, but the Doors found a way. He does acquit himself well here.
OMG Travis you were gonna go so far :( please be ok !! And come back to music we need you
If they ever reunited holy shit he’s perfect
I remember seeing this at the time and thinking Sky was the limit for this guy. Didn't see him on TV for another 10 years. Still routing for the guy
He went through a really bad meth addiction, threw it all away, got sober, plays on small stages now. He is from Charlestown Indiana which is 10 miles from my hometown of Hanover Indiana, great musician
@@sizzlethestozzle8885 Soooo glad to hear he’s found his way back from the hell of addiction! Such an amazing artist and beautiful soul! Thanks so much for the update!!!
He fell off from the mainstream light and then got caught up in labels buying each other out and getting caught in the middle of it and not being able to make the music he wanted. He came close to signing with Rick Rubin about 03-04 i think but kinda went his own way as independent and he toured hard doing shows all over the country for several years before he stopped after dealing with his continued addictions that he has dealt with since he was a teen. He got diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at like 28 and that's where a lot of his issues came from was having Autism and not knowing whats wrong with you and using to cope. Last i heard and saw about 2 years ago he looked good and had a smile on his face so i hope he is happy and enjoying his life now.
@@sizzlethestozzle8885 I went to school there for my freshman year of college. I’m curious to know if anyone else thinks there is something off about that area? In terms of occult activity.
Only one to cover this song, I knew Travis was a huge doors fan and it was one of the biggest achievements in his life
Travis Meeks sounds very closely like Jim Morrison, whom I grew up listening to. Travis is even closer than The Doors Live (and they are pretty good!) Jim Morrison was definitely one of a kind, very very unique, but Travis really embodies that beautiful spirit that Jim had. Thank you for the music!!!
You know it's good when manzarek gets into it, he was definitely feeling the vibe
I got to see" The Days of The New "downtown Dallas Tx. I've been a Fan ever since. Love Travis, he's Amazing.!!
Travis Meeks is absolutely amazing, like always!! He has such a unique voice and afaik there is no better choice as him to join Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore on stage. Together they manage to create a new, exciting and slightly different version of "The End" which is in no way just the standard 1 to 1 copy. They really created a special version of its own and i just love how Travis's beautiful bluesy, angry, strong and melancholic voice is able to capture the intense spirit of the song. 🤘🎶🥰
this Travis guy is as good as they get, then a lotta bit better.
You have to be a BRAVE, BRAVE soul to cover this one....
These guys are brave enough, awesome stuff!
Fantastic. Didn't even know this existed until now!
Travis is one my top two favorite vocalist, other being Layne Staley
I'm a Doors freak and I love Travis Meeks. ❤️ Beautiful rendition
2020 here this needs to be shared more, amazing!
2022 hear and I've been watching this video sice 2013. I never tire of watching it. Goosebumps and chills at the ending.
Word. I was fascinated with jimbo for years what a sweet rendering
This is exceptionally good. I am IMPRESSED to say the least!
I can't believe I'm just seeing this now. Incredible! Travis Meeks I thought years ago, had incredible potential, the likes of Cornell. I still hope for his return to greatness. Days of the New is legendary IMO!
I hear Jim's voice through Travis's voice. Amazing cover wow!
"But .if we kiss the serpent on the lips w no fear it will take us thru the Garden thru the Gate to the 0ther side "- James Douglas Morrison
All my love to Travis
You're not forgotten
Yes definitely a great performance, I wish Travis would come back to music i miss days of the new :~}Ebunnie
Same here!!! But if staying clean means small gigs only, whatever works! As long as he’s alive, slaying the demons one day at a time, and using his tremendous gifts (playing/singing/writing), that’s all that really matters! 🎤🎸🎤🎸
I've been watching this for so many years and every time it brings me to tears when he does that ending. Jim lives again .
One of the best covers ever! Such heart felt reverence for the Doors and their mystical painfeeled music.
I saw days of the new cover this song around 2000 at a festival in Detroit. And he did the part... Mother... I want to... And I'm standing at the back of the crowd, and I notice off to my sides a couple people shaking their heads vigorously and gesturing. And then he finishes the line. And these people (managers, promoters, etc) lose their shit. As a 17 year old it was pretty cool. But the festival was never the same after that.
What a great choice of vocalists to do this song. Travis has a great voice and a really good guitar player.
Omg he is sorely missed. we are waiting for you Thavis, sending love ❤️
Travis Meeks is the man. He should have been a huge star but young fame/drugs got the best of him. I hear he's clean and doing well.
Wow.......what a performance
Channeling the spirit of James Douglas Morrison......
Wonder how he is doing now of days,hope he is clean and healthy,such a talent and so sad to see what the drugs brought him to,this performance is amazing
Dang, I get chills watching this.
The killer awoke before Dawn he put his boots on he took a face from the ancient gallery and then he WALKED ON DOWN THE HALLWAY fuck just nailed it only Jim was better
Travis did a great job singing this song.
Just incredible. I love this video so much.
I like this version a lot better than the original. this is beautiful, limitless.
Stunning performance!
Thanks Travis and The Doors.
channeling jim morrison but not copying ...immense talent and the guys are super into playing it which tells you how good travis nails the essence a jim here... just sublime like jim travis is a tortured soul...
Outstanding !
Perfection
fantastic, extraordinary this, Travis as amazing as Morrison!❤️🤘
Travis Meeks ladies and germs !!
Densmore's pony nub is hilarious - love this, though
I was looking for this video months ago thanks
What a great spirit he is. Really sad what his life has turned out to be. Hope he gets it together while there's still time.
He was amazing! Now he is done
i hope the band can come together and make music again, travis is amazing
There was an article years ago where The Doors members talked about doing The End with Travis who was a 20 year old at the time and once he they went to rehearse Kriger said it was instant feeling like that he was the right person for the song. He killed it in this live show at the time and Travis also recorded this song and LA Woman with The Doors on Stoned Immaculate album they did around this same time. Travis even did a few shows singing Doors songs with Robbie on guitar. I used to have a recording from like 2002 that was just Travis Meeks singing and playing his acoustic guitar performing The End. It was incredible to hear it played on acoustic in Travis' own style. about 0:41 you can hear Travis' acoustic guitar playing as the song starts and it has that same similar sound to the solo version he performed
This is amazing!
I never noticed how much he sounds like Jim! Damn
"No. I. I am Morrison's reincarnation. Me."
-Ian Astbury
He definitely did a good job
He had the Drummer dancing
Stud Travis
Chills
the greatest cover of all-time imo. His cover of another brick in the wall is also top tier.
For real
Galifianakis is holding up his end of the deal lol...Meeks is truly a gem. Hope he's doing well now..was lucky enough to see Days' at the pyramid in 2000
🔥🔥🔥
great cover. i love it.
Excelente!!!!
Perfection 😎👍💪
Holy shit!
incredible
Amazing performance. I have audio of a few live show that Travis sang this song and even a version with him doing it solo with just an acoustic guitar, its still very impressive.
How's it going dude? would love to hear it :)
Doing good. I'LL work on getting it uploaded. ITs just the soundboard audio but an epic listen.
Dude let met get that solo interpretation, please!!! I'll digitally sign for it.
Mr.Sawdoff1100 I would love to hear the version of Travis performing the end with his acoustic guitar as well!!! Have you posted it? Would it be possible to email it to me?
This dude from my home town.
Awesome!
Travis was a monster
A creative genius
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and I can puck up origins/influences a few notes into most music. I was never able to do that with DOTN
Then I saw this and it was so obvious. This is the end
Im still waiting for that new days of then new album been waiting for a while now :~}
We all have
Wonderful version
Perfect !
Travis is still around. He is just taking a break and last i heard he was doing really good.
EXELENTE VERSION "
You did this better in my mind
Magic,

Love death travel
good
When and where was this ? Travis sounded incredible!
Sarah Chamberlain this is 20 years old at least
Great performance
Gah he had so much talent...Fck drugs
Que concierto es?
1:57 wow
GREAT , yet not as GREAT, as the original creation, by the ORIGINAL creature.
He would've made a great replacement singer, but as yall know, it didn't last
They should have performed it like the old days, without all the strange percussion equipment, and Robbie Kreiger using a Gibson SG rather than the electric sitar he used here. Only Manzarek was using the regular Doors keyboard rig, at least Ray was correct.
dude just enjoy it
Days of the news yellow album was better then any doors album or any grunge album. Rock music would still be popular if more bands played acoustic
No grunge yawl in the End..
Robby hadn't lost a step......like, at all..... the others were decent but not their best.
Personally...... I didn't feel Meeks like I'd hoped I would. This cover gets hyped a lot...... and yeah..... I guess? Obviously he's a decent vocalist....... but look, this song?
No. Fuck no. Better not to bother than attempt this track without Jim. That's like asking Gordon Ramsey not to use a knife or pan. May as well ask God to fill your wallet with cocaine encrusted penguins.
You're asking for shit that ain't gonna happen. Stop trying to recapture the magic of days gone. Create something new that builds upon what came before.
Chirp chip chirp
Piękne. Mój brother 2012 going death. Days make 100 % of Doors
this Travis guy is as good as they get, then a lotta bit better.
I was looking for this video months ago thanks
