As a big Doors fan, it took a bunch of listens for Riders and LA woman to grow on me, if they were gonna listen to another song, I would pick Love Me Two Times or People are strange or maybee Not To Touch The earth, or twentieth century fox and then get into the other ones, and then at long last have them react to THE SOFT PARADE AND WHEN THE MUSICS OVER AND THE END !! :)
If you guys want to hear the harder side of The Doors try 'Roadhouse Blues' or 'Break on Through (To the Other Side'). Also 'Five to One'. Thanks for another great vid :)
Jim Morrison and the Doors was the first live concert I attended. It was the spring of '67 (I was just 15) when I saw them as this song was beginning to be played on the radio.
Ed Sullivan didn’t want them saying “higher” ... they did and were banned from the show ... a producer told Jim “you’ll never play the Sullivan show again” and Jim answered “ we just did” lol
The great Jim Morrison! A man who walked to the beat of his own drum. A very unique group. I think Chris was liking the album cover of Jim Morrison a little bit too much lol
I was 14 and that summer my mom encouraged me to find some work, so I called the San Diego Tribune and found out our paperboy was giving up his route. The first Sunday mourning I went to his house and was folding papers in his living room while his mom slept in her bedroom next to us. He put on the Doors and I was surprised his mom didn’t come in to admonish us. That was 1968 and with part of my first months profit, I bought the Doors album. Still love their music to this day. The musicianship and poetry of their words was exceptional.
I've said it before, there are still some old folks out here who know every song on the album that this song is from. This was on their debut album in January 1967, the sixth cut on it. There are fans and then there are Doors Fans!
Ray, Robbie and John were tremendous musicians...but it was that mystical shaman poet Morrison aka The Lizard King aka Mr Mojo Risin who was the lightning in that bottle. The other three even tried a few times to regroup after Jim's death but the magic died w him :(
@@johnstorton I love Ray, Robby, and John and their unique gifts. But Jim could have succeeded as a solo had the band split. He was the catalyst. The lightning. The others would have probably been studio musicians had they never met him.
i didn't *get it*, until i fully understood the times and era that the Doors existed. Some good tunes.. were all I thought. Then.. an open mind led me deeper.. and that's where I stayed lol.. xo
I so agree! Knowing a bit of history of what was happening in America in the mid 60's - Dr. Martin Luther King lead the famous civil rights march in Alabama from Selma to Montgomery, The Voting Rights Act, guaranteeing African Americans the right to vote became law, the Vietnam War was getting a lot worse & we were losing so many troops. In response, the Anti-War movement grew. Experimentation with drugs grew. The whole culture of hippies and peace & free love to which much of the music reflected these subjects. I shared with Rico and Crys before they listened to it who some of the top singers & bands were during that time - The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beach Boys, & Pink Floyd - so they could mentally fit in The Doors. Wow, so sorry I wrote you a novel! I just found you comment right on target. Thanks Keetah! ✌️ ☮️ 😂😂😂
I believed that Sullivan banned The Doors after they played this song uncensored live after CBS and his people wanted The Doors changed one line of this song. Sullivan was very upset with them. Back then, he was powerful in entertainment business. His show can make or break careers. Next person had such power was Johnny Carson.
@@MrTech226 Yeah, he wanted them to change a line, they did it anyway, he banned them from coming back, but they didn't care, because they did the show once, and got the exposure, and that was enough.
I think Light My Fire is the best introduction to Doors. It was their first hit song and the first song where many of us ever heard of Doors. Also, you did a good job of picking studio version (long, album, version too, not the shorter version that was played on AM radio). Doors got real crazy on stage, particularly lead singer, Jim Morrison. So live songs aren't recommended to newbies of Doors. I suggest you stick to studio versions of their extensive and very good catalog.
@@ErikD71 i THINK i requested this song at some point also i love watching peoples first time listen of this song lol They should check out the Santana - "Soul Sacrifice Woodstock '69 (full version)"
@@ErikD71 oh im sure they did but i request this song to every reaction channel i come across lol One of my favorite solos. Damn, lucky ass. if time travel were real I'd definitely travel back to 1969 lol
The Doors are legends of rock! Please check out the studio recording of The Doors song “Not to Touch the Earth” It’s the most Doorsiest of Doors songs.
@@DJ-bj8ku The song “Not to Touch the Earth” was written, music and lyrics, by the band, The Doors. Lyrics by Jim Morrison. I don’t what information you are drawing from, but it is wrong. The Doors absolutely wrote the song “Not To Touch The Earth”
@@DJ-bj8ku I was aware of Back Door Man being a cover, as well as Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar). As why I was certain Not To Touch The Earth was written by them, The Doors.
@@debjorgo Love that song! I always sing along to it even though I can't really sing!! I'm chuckling just thinking about how ridiculous I must have looked to my neighbors! C'mon,Yeah!!! 😝
@@tommyk6719 I'm not sure which of my comments you're replying to. "When the music's over, turn out the lights"? If you're talking about LA Woman, I'm with you all the way.
Fun fact: If you catch the lyrics you’ll hear Jim sing about a funeral pyre… A lot of people don’t really catch that or they don’t bother looking up what it means but, a funeral pyre is a large fire that is used for burning a dead body as a funeral rite.
One of the best songs ever! Espiceally Ray Manzarek on organ, just fantastic! Please react their live performance of this song, Hollywood Bowl, 1968 or Isle of Wight, 1970.. Waiting for this!
I love the carnival sound of Ray's organ; it's like a merry-go-round, spinning you around and around. Very much a 60's stoner epic. The Doors were unique, with a sound completely their own. Fun fact: most of their first and second albums came from an acid trip that Morrison had one night. He saw "a whole concert in my head", songs complete with lyrics, and when he later got together with Ray Manzarek to form a band, he came prepared with a whole sheaf of amazingly beautiful, surreal songs that vibrated with the energy of Morrison's trip, his time singing in the Acid Space. (This song is not Morrison's, however; it was written by the guitarist Robbie Krieger.)
THE DOORS, "LIGHT MY FIRE". 1967 First Hit SONG. The start of the first band, that I thought was way ahead of it's time. VOCALS : Jim Morrison, GUITAREST: Robbie Robertson, KEYBOARDIST: Ray Manzarek, DRUMS: John Densmore. More... "RIDERS ON THE STORM", "ROADHOUSE BLUES", "L.A. WOMAN", "BACK DOOR MAN ", "BREAK ON THRU TO THE OTHER SIDE", "WHEN THE MUSIC 'S OVER", "CRYSTAL SHIP".
Yeah, they could DEF hit a damn groove...they were jazz and blues musicians, did a lot of drugs, and made no secret of it, a very subversive/revolutionary group, the punks owe a lot to them, and Morrison....even tho, in the end, the reputation became a burden. Brilliant artists tho...check out the song L.A. Woman next, light my fire was their first hit, l.a. woman was one of their very last....it’s insane and a real crowd pleaser with the reactors, you guys will LOVE it, such an epic song .....very, very bluesy, a hard, blues-rock masterpiece, amd a hell of a way to go out
jim morrison is a member of the 27 club.artists that passed when they were 27.the list includes brian jones(rolling stones),jimi hendrix,janis joplin,kurt cobain(nirvana)and amy winehouse.he is buried in pere lachaise cemetery,paris france.people from around the world visit him some laying flowers.rip all talented artists who influanced fellow musicians gone too soon!
James Douglas Morrison. The Lizard King. He can do anything. Jim Morrison was one of a kind without question. His poetry, lyrics, life, all spiraling out of control constantly. People have said its a deep rabbit hole to go down, and they could not be more right. I have books of the Doors, of Jim, books of Jims poetry, posters, albums, european releases, japan releases. I have a large collection. Have had since I was a teenager in the mid 1980's. Their music has always been a huge part of my life. Many great songs. Jim was certainly a trip though. Very deep rabbit hole. My favourite song is THE END. It was featured in the vietnam war movie Apocalypse Now. The song is 11 minutes plus and a complete trip and a half. Highly recommended.
Jim Morrison basically predicted modern electronic music. There's an interview with him where he said "It might rely heavily on electronics, tapes," "I can kind of envision maybe one person with a lot of machines, tapes and electronic setups, singing or speaking and using machines."
I was 13 when this song hit the air and it was a monster hit in 1967. I was fortunate to see them later that year in Sacramento at the Memorial Auditorium. This song like so many of the Doors hits feels absolutely timeless.
jim Morrison and The Doors went on one of the most popular variety shows in America to sing this song back in the day. (The Ed Sullivan Show) The people from the show approached the band and told them not to sing "much higher". Morrison being Morrison agreed to change the lyrics when he sang on the live show.....then went out and sang it unchanged. The people from the show were really mad and banned them from coming on the show again. Morrison didn't care. Love it.
I'll throw "Peace Frog" into your pile of suggestions for Doors songs. Somehow, it doesn't look like many people are mentioning "Break On Through", even though that was either their biggest or 2nd-biggest hit (with this being the other one.)
The Doors were one of the most eclectic groups in music history. Their catalogue is so varied and impactful that you never know what to expect. Jim Morrison was the soul of the group, but the living, beating heart of the group was composer, musical director and keyboardist Ray Manzarek. This organ solo has become an iconic part of music history. You have to react to LA Woman, Waiting For The Sun, Riders on the Storm, Break On Through and many others.
Great !!! Party tune... I just remember hearing this song back in the days, floating through the air at alot of those midnight, pool parties we had in our neighborhood back around 8th grade and Freshman year... Great !!! Party tune for making your move, on your favorite girl.
If you're going to do The Doors you need to do 5 to 1 The Crystal Ship You two really should watch The Doors movie with Val Kilmer to understand the complexity of the lead singer Jim Morrison. He was probably the blueprint for what a Rockstar is
They played for like a year after they got together before they got famous started playing at the whiskey ago and that was it . Jim Morrison the singer died at age 27 so they were together for 4 or 5 years and made 6 albums
For a laid-back, hypnotic boogie groove, you should play Maggie M'gill from The Doors Live at the Felt Forum. John Sebastion joins them onstage with harmonica. He's the guy who (under another name) played harmonica on Roadhouse Blues, another one you should check out.
This song has great singing but the whole instrumental section is the best. Ray is a great on the keyboards and carries the song. The drummer John is also good. Peace frog is a personal favorite. Also roadhouse blues, touch me, la woman, riders on the storm, the end, break on through etc.
I have to laugh when you say "new band" (I do realize that they are new to you), because I saw the Doors live 54 years ago at the Eastman Theater in Rochester, New York. I was lucky enough to grow up in the Age of the Legends of Rock ....
This got a lot of radio play so I got a bit burned out on it. But after not hearing it for a couple decades, I can really appreciate it now. The keyboards in this steal the show.
This particular song done by the doors was covered by many… If you ever wanna listen to a good cover of this song check the one down by José Feliciano… Another rabbit hole to go down with his great music
As a small child I heard this on the radio. I had the impression Jim Morrison was an old crooner trying to sound cool. Man was I wrong. Great reaction. 👍
Jim Morrison called the Lizard King, died at the age of 27 and became part of the club of celebrities who died at that age. Today his tomb is the second most visited in France, with the Eifel tower being the number one tourist attraction
The first time this song was played on the radio in So California was the first time I smoked Cannabis, life has been fabulous ever since. I sparked up my pipe for this reaction. Thanks

The Doors are a deep rabbit-hole, with a wide range of styles and tracks. Hauntingly ethereal at times, dirty and grungy at others.
You will definitely enjoy The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" and "LA Woman".

I’ve been listening to The Doors for decades and LA Woman is an absolutely perfect song.
@@matthewraymond3688 yep I have LA woman listed in my high school yearbook under my favorite song
The End and When The Music's s Over way better not the top 40 type of Riders or LA !!! Too many requestors want top 40 instead of the artists best
.......and Roadhouse Blues!
We love The Doors. My favorite song of theirs is "When the Music's Over".
Absolutely too many just want the top 40 of their stuff not their best
try when the music's over, live at hollywood bowl!
I was a very young kid when The Doors were first out. You'll need to see Jim Morrison singing to see why they were so popular. He was amazing!
If you guys want to hear the harder side of The Doors try 'Roadhouse Blues' or 'Break on Through (To the Other Side'). Also 'Five to One'. Thanks for another great vid :)
What's so cool when this album was released nothing out there could compare to the Doors sound.
Good review!!---Also check out "Love me 2 Times" "Riders on the Storm" "People are Strange" and "L. A. Woman"........
The Doors
* The Soft Parade
* Touch Me
* Not To Touch the Earth
* Shaman's Blue
* Universal Mind
* Whiskey, Mystics and Men
Great classic song from them along with touch me

Used to play this when i lived in Vietnam in the 1990s. The scenery and this song is a trip.
Get down! This song is definitely late 60s. I know because I was there and singing this song in my band. It was wildly popular!
Video of him singing really puts there songs home and his charisma....also, can watch the hollywood film of him with Kilmer not bad..
Val tore it up. Look exactly like Jim.
If you haven't you need to watch the movie about the doors with Val Kilmer in it
I'm The one who suggested this song for you ! Glad you enjoyed it ! I am a huge Doors fan and the drummer John Densmore has the same birthday as me :)
Everyone talks about Morrison, but the musicians in the band are what made them great tbh

I have to laugh when you say "new band" (I do realize that they are new to you), because I saw the Doors live 54 years ago at the Eastman Theater in Rochester, New York. I was lucky enough to grow up in the Age of the Legends of Rock ....
The long instrumental part is the maggots in the eye of love copulating. You can hear the thrusting brosepher.
More The Doors pls 🤘
This got a lot of radio play so I got a bit burned out on it. But after not hearing it for a
couple decades, I can really appreciate it now. The keyboards in this steal the show.
In 1967 this was a new sound, sort of a new use of musical instruments. The organ does have a carnival sound
Peace Love those smiles!
"This is something you can't interrupt, though."
That right there got you a thumbs up.
I’m so glad y’all are listening to the Doors !
One of the longest bridges in music history like Freebird from Lynyrd Skynyrd and the solos in songs by Cream.
I REALLY recommend "Light My Fire" Cover by Eddie Vedder (From Pearl Jam). He does at great job at the rocknroll hall of fame.
This particular song done by the doors was covered by many… If you ever wanna listen to a good cover of this song check the one down by José Feliciano… Another rabbit hole to go down with his great music
GOOD TUNE....GREAT BAND.
Listen to their full 11 + min version of The End.. off of their debut album.. 🤟🎸😁
As a small child I heard this on the radio. I had the impression Jim Morrison was an old crooner trying to sound cool. Man was I wrong. Great reaction. 👍
Smiling with you.
Jim Morrison called the Lizard King, died at the age of 27 and became part of the club of celebrities who died at that age. Today his tomb is the second most visited in France, with the Eifel tower being the number one tourist attraction
Letsgooo, great band, great song and great video.
Great reaction! The Doors & Jim Morrison are boss. Try Peace Frog, Crystal Ship and Soul Kitchen. Late.
Check out the song "Touch Me" on the Smothers Brothers Show. It's a terrific live performance.
Bro you guys gotta check out L.A. Woman
The first time this song was played on the radio in So California was the first time I smoked Cannabis, life has been fabulous ever since. I sparked up my pipe for this reaction. Thanks
John Densmore was the drummer on that song. One of the greats.
