    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.

      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.

    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!!!

    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. 🤘🎶🥰

    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.

    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

    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.
