The studio version 1000 times better, take a listen do the "Doors Greatest Hits"
@@kupski1964interesting 😊
If you haven't done it yet (I don't see the reaction on your channel anywhere), then react the "Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night. It epitomizes the fun, weird part of classic rock after Woodstock and before the rise of disco. The live 1975 version is probably the best on UA-cam, but a lyric video would be good as well.
the studio versions are best to do first...then do live version
Next : " The soft parade" live in PBS 1969....
When the Doors were invited on to the Ed Sullivan Show to do this song (already a big hit) they didn't want him to say "girl we can't get much higher" because it sounded, oh, druggy or something. He said he would change it, and the bluenoses were happy. Time for the show which went out live. And he sang it the original way. When you see footage of it, he looks right into the camera and gives a little smirk. a 100% Jim Morrison move.
And after the performance Sullivan told him he would never play the Ed Sullivan Show again. Morrison said that's okay, we already did.
That was really stupid because , at the time , "high" was also used to describe alcohol intoxication
It's "girl we couldn't get much higher".
@@HansDelbruck53 Same difference.
@@josephcote6120 The tense is different.
The look of sheer joy on Ray (the keyboard player)'s face as that solo finishes is one of my favorite moments in live performances.
As a 60 year old, I am always amazed when I see people have never heard these songs.
That's because it's all about the clicks. Of course she's heard these songs. I mean, come on!
Bit older than that, but much the same thoughts - but then there's a LOT of 'modern' music, and artists, I've never heard of.
Even the older music from our youth, there's an awful lot of music we don't know, or perhaps just heard in passing.
At least she has heard of the Doors. There is a reaction video, by a young black man, who had never heard of the Beatles.
@@terryfall8915
So, you're surprised that a young, probably "American", man hadn't heard of a British band that broke up over 50 years ago?
A young man who would have had very few opportunities to have been exposed to them - when was th last time you recall hearing anything about them on any popular media or radio - other than, perhaps, a mention of their recent release?
There are many popular bands and groups now, including two of the biggest groups, ever, that you have very likely never heard of - BTS, Blackpink, BANDMAID, Stray Kids, etc.
I know there are a great many groups, bands, and solo artists I've never heard of, let alone heard, that have been popular over my 60+ years on the planet.
@@gordowg1wg145 And when did the Morrison die?
One of your older subscribers here. I took a girlfriend to see the doors in Cleveland in 1970, and it was an interesting night. She ran up on the stage to hug Morrison, was captured by security and taken back stage. The theatre was empty except for me when she finally came out with a beer can as a souvenir. That wasn't a very long relationship.
The Doors were not just about Jim's vocals(which were great),but about the music the band played.They were very talented musicians. In the 60's/70's the music was as important as the vocals Especially live shows.
They don't get musicians like that. Oh, of course Taylor Swift makes $ Billion...with 3 Minutes Versions...but, live versions were always a true talent show. Many used "classic" parts - The Doors also, - orhers used J.S. Bach, Fuge interlude (In a gadada vida)....
We all used big sound systems, stereo, in order to hear every high and low note. Artists were real artist, with enormous skills ( Emerson Lake and Palmer) and real good bands used Hamond organs, like the ones previously mentioned. Some slid over to the acid rock type. But transient Jazz type music was keen to every great band. Hardly anybody played a "cover" in 3,5 Minutes of their record original.
When Freddy M. got flack, critique for writing Bohemia R. from the Record Label dude ( in the 🎥🍿 movie) - I was solidely stunned.
As just about every good band had a extremely long - epic version on their album ( Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc.).
This concert is unique in the Doors history, Morrison usually jumped around and was very wild. But at this concert he concentrated on singing, and it made for a legendary performance. The Doors had the foresight to have this concert professionally filmed themselves.
Or he was really, really high.
regardless, he concentrated on singing. not sure what the or is about.@@robertkennedy5414
Jim Morrison was just an amazing guy, and we were very lucky to have had such an incredible time having him in our lives ❤️
Their guitarist, Robbie Krieger, was the youngest member of the band -- and this was the very 1st song he ever wrote. Jim just added some lyrics.
Robbie wrote some of the lyrics too.
@@johnhawk1089 Robbie wrote MOST of the lyrics -- it was his song.
big Jim himself had Irish blood and our folklore inspired some of his work. legend RIP
Can’t go wrong with The Doors.
People Are Strange, Break On Through (To The Other Side) and L.A. Woman are all good Doors songs and worth a listen.
Their first two albums and especially their first stand out as truly unique. It's psychedelic art-rock, dark and swirling, and brooding and with a kind of danger to it.
When the Doors were on the Ed Sullivan show which was a Huge TV Show in America they told them there were certain words and action they could not say and do on the live show Morrison said no problem then looked into the Camara and did and said everything he was told not to do , Nobody told Morrison what to do. The Doors were banned from the show but the act got them the attention they wanted !!!
He looked at the camera and emphasized HIGHER.
Apparently they were told by the producers, "You will never do the Ed Sullivan show again." Their response, "We just did the Ed Sullivan show."
@@pcoleman1971Came here to say just that!
@@Dularron the movie, he did. IRL, he said it naturally.
@@ej62133 Thank you! It's funny, I see so many comments from people saying how he looked right into the camera and yelled HIGHHHHERRRR......lol....and..no...he didn't....he wasn't even looking at the camera when he sang it....and it was just normal volume.....people seem to confuse the real life performance with what they saw (or heard about) in the Oliver Stone movie.... I remember one interview I saw with Robbie Krieger, several years ago, where he said he wasn't even sure if Jim just forgot to change it, since he was so used to singing it the correct way. (If you watch the real performance....you can see Robbie with a big smile at one point....I always wondered if HE was thinking..."Oops....Jim sang it...we're in trouble now!" )
Remembering the young Jim Morrison it's hard to imagine this is the year he would have turned 80.
Tragically one of the '27s', along with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, great artists who couldn't get to their 28th birthday.
The Doors are a top band with a very distinctive psychedelic blues style. A late 60s band, very inventive, in the era when rock music was growing up and being targeted at a more mature audience instead of surfin' bubble gum chewin' teenagers. So this song is one of the earliest examples of what you might call "trance rock." Probably also in this mode would be "The End."
Morrison, the lead singer, was very famous for wearing leather pants all the time.
The Doors were the most popular band in the 60s besides the Stones and Beatles and Light My Fire shows why
You wouldn't know it by this performance. I've heard other live versions by them (including in person), heck cover bands back in the day, that were much better. Also, this pales in comparison to the studio version. Regarding that last observation, you might say "of course".... but there are bands that acquit themselves quite well live with their top songs.
@@springertube I wasn't that fond of this particular performance, but I guess somebody liked it enough to recommend it.
@@springertube Yeah, not Jim's most energetic performance. He was tripping balls at this show.
@@SG-js2qn yep - or as is sometimes the case, didn't know any better ;)
They're songs have ttheir haunting beauty that's hard to describe.
My dad introduce me to the Doors when he drove me to school and picked me up. He'd listen to the Doors while he was driving. This is a great song. I love Break onto through the other side. People are Strange.
LA Women was their last album, and many have stated that it was their best one.
Their song “This is the End” is used in the beginning of the iconic movie “Apocalypse Now”
Way back in the groovy day they played in a town fairly close to me and Jim was arrested for indecent exposure during the concert and taken off stage. He referenced this incident in an other song. He was a Legend.
The Door's are one of my favorite Bands, they made some Masterpieces for listening
Hi Diane! One of my favorite bands. Jim Morrison got his college degree in acting, and only by chance ended up a singer. He was known for his wild lifestyle and use of "substances", though he wasn't a junkie but was overly fond of drink and psychedelics.
He, along with Janice Joplin and Jimi Hendrix formed the nucleus of "Club 27", those rockers who died at that age. Many others, including Curt Cobain of Nirvana were to follow.
At the tender age of 14 I saw the Doors last performance at The Warehouse, in New Orleans. He was really messed up (which was not unusual), and threw down the mic halfway through the show and was led offstage.
He retired from show business and went to Paris, France to concentrate on his poetry, which he regarded as his true calling. He was found dead in his bathtub, officially from a heart attack, though there was alcohol and possibly other substances in his system. He's buried in an old cemetery there, and his grave, where many people leave flowers, is the most visited in the whole graveyard.
I remember when word got out of his death, some of the coolest people in my crowd, who were also into certain things we weren't supposed to be doing, were heartbroken. Check out the album Absolutely Live, it gives you a good idea what the Doors were like in concert.
Chewie's looking cuter than ever, so give him a hug for me, I love you and I'll catch you later!
Jim did NOT retire. After the L.A. Woman album was finished the record co. let the band take a vacation before the start of the L.A. Woman Tour. Jim went to " The City of Lights " but Jim unfortunately accidentally O.D.'d. The record co. canceled the tour but released the album and planned singles. That's why there's NO LIVE versions of L.A. Woman or Riders on the Storm with JDM.
The Doors live was a scary thing. i saw them in1968 , i think , and morrison was singing some suggestive lyrics . he flipped himself backwards onto the wooden stage screaming like a banshee and rolling around like a mad man. very intense performance
Groups back then used to extend a song by jamming like that when they were live. The record versions were usually very much shorter. OK, so next, you HAVE to react to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Texas Flood, Live at El Mocambo. I'd love to see your reaction to that one. That said, it is a long rendition, but not much longer than this one.
Rock on! It’s done but is in block jail.
I think she needs to try In-a-Godda-Da-Vida. Some on the version are like 15mins long.
ANYTHING by Stevie Ray Vaughn is good
@@crash406 true, but that one is special. ☺
I was at the El Mocambo that night.
Before their 1st album was released - they had been booked at a local Los Angeles high school to play in the gym. Their 1st album went out and straight to number 1. Everyone assumed they would bail on the high school - but they didn’t- they fulfilled their obligation and a lot of high schoolers got a once in a lifetime treat (for real cheap - don’t remember the ticket cost but it wasn’t much). Imagine hearing the doors live playing their 1st album songs in a high school gym!
That was my high school in 1967 and it was in our auditorium, not gym. Concert was free for us. Our high school was Crescenta Valley just north of Glendale in the foothills. We had many great bands because we had some parents that were Hollywood agents.
Happy Wednesday to you Diane! This is a great band to listen and react to. This is one of my favorite songs from them. The Doors are an amazing group. You should watch the movie "The Doors" which was directed by Oliver Stone and starred Val Kilmer as "Jim Morrison". He did such an amazing job on there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this legendary group! Enjoy the rest of your week! 😎👍👋
Same to you!
@@DianeJennings "The Doors" is a lovely movie, but be aware that it's about the myth of Jim Morrison, and not the real guy himself. By all accounts from people who knew him, he was a kind, sweet, funny guy with a really interesting mind. The movie is a fascinating examination of the myth, but that's what it is. :)
What impressed me about that movie is Val Kilmer singing all the songs wasnt lip synched
0liver Stone has no idea who "Jim Morrison " was, his version was the worst movie ever made!
@@davidtaylor1457 Blame Danny Sugerman. The movie's plot is based on large part on his book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" which purported to be about Jim but was actually about the Myth of Jim. Stone was a huge Doors fan but didn't really know that much about the band until he read the book. Gotta say, the book is full of stuff that reads great for a movie. (It's a pity Sugerman didn't just change all the names and make it a novel.) And it's a very Oliver Stone kind of story, he saw a story he wanted to make and as usual, he bullishly made the movie he wanted to make, damn the torpedos, full speed ahead. I think it's a fine movie in itself, very mythic, but not worth beans as a true story.
"Where is this going?" That was one of the "featues" of teh Doors. Lead singer Jim Morrison was famous for going off in different directions and the band just followed him wherever he took them. And, yes, somoetimes they had to bring him back. Towards the end, his drinking was out of control. But, he could really work an audience. If you want to react to one of their most famous "Jim is way out there" songs, find a long and live version of "The End".
I remember the summer when this song came out. It was a huge hit. There was two versions of this song a short one, and one that was twenty minutes long. The radio station played the twenty minute version every hour for days. Everyone had transistor radios, so every hour you could hear it everywhere.
I think your neighbor would enjoy that extended interlude...on repeat at 7am. Would help with the furniture moving. 😂
Omg 😂
Light My Fire was their signature hit and their big jam number when playing live. This isn't the best live version of it, but it's the best visual record of it. There's also black and white footage of the song from their gig at the Roundhouse in London, which is more intense, and Morrison gets up to some interesting antics during the instrumentals, but the sound quality isn't great. By their own admission, the Hollywood Bowl performance wasn't one of their best - they were nervous because Mick Jagger was in the audience, and also Jim decided to take some acid before the show. The most impressive part of this clip was keyboardist Ray Manzarek going completely ham on the organ solo with his right hand, while keeping up a steady bass line with his left hand on the keyboard bass (The Doors didn't have an actual bass player, except on records).
Luv your comments, super presentation Huge thnx from Romania ❤
Hollywood Bowl 1968. They played at my high school in 1967 just before they became uber famous.
The doors live 1970 in vancouver provides the greatest version of this song. Nothing else comes even close.
Ray Manzarek on keys, was one of the finest keyboard players in a rock band. He played melody on the organ or sometimes electric piano, and the bass part on a bass keyboard. However on studio recordings they did use a bass player. People keep puting new labels on this style to suit their own era's mentality of redefine it so they understand it...but back in the day this was known as "progressive rock."
No it wasn't, prog rock is a 70s thing. This was the definition of acid rock.
This song got them banned from the Ed Sullivan Show. They wanted him to omit the words “girl we couldn’t get much higher” because it sounded like a drug reference. Jim suggested “girl you couldn’t bite my wire” in jest then sang the song as written.
I was listening to this when it was first being played on the radio (studio version,) so I'm kinda old. I recently was driving & it was playing on the radio & I hurried to catch up with what looked like an 8th grade boy & girl walking home from school, I turned it up enough for them to hear like I did at their age "come on baby light my fire, come on baby light my fire, try to set the night on fire."
Diane should watch the movie that was made with Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison. The movies really brings you into that error, and is so engrossing, that after it's over, you don't even realize that it's been 2 hours watching it. Val Kilmer actually was singing the live portrayals in the movie too.
He is an American icon and this is an iconic song. And I believe he is still performing. Good reaction to this song, thanks for sharing. Now for fun. Listen to Jimi Hendrix perform this song at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Great performance. 😊🎉❤
As one of the comments stated, this song got them banned from ever playing on "The Ed Sullivan Show" again. Back then they were weren't supposed to say the word "Higher" but Jim sang it anyways....afterward they were told they would never perform on that show again....the response I heard from one of the members was we already played your show, why would we want to do it again....
😂 really?! Just cos of that word??
@@DianeJennings yep, because the word could also reference being high on Marijuana or drugs.....
The Rolling Stones had to change “Let’s spend the night together” to “Let’s spend some time together” to stay on Ed Sullivan.
@@DianeJenningsEd Sullivan was undoubtedly more angry that they’d agreed not to say the phrase then did it anyway. He probably took it as a slap in the face.
The Doors Light My Fire was used in the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away. His other movie Forrest Gump had the Doors song Hello, I Love You in the ping pong tournament scene. 📽🎵🎹
Ohhhh maybe that’s how I recognize it
@@DianeJennings Right their both good movies.I like alot of Tom Hanks movies from 80s to current.
One of my youngest daughters favorite songs. Back in the 90's when Aerosmith started recording and back together, my oldest then 15 was in the closet digging through a box of my old 8 track tapes I put away. Found 4 or 5 Aerosmith tapes in there. He asked me if this was the same Aerosmith or was it a different Aerosmith and did not believe I listened to them when I was a teenagerin the 70's.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Definitely check out more of their music, this isn't even one of their best songs imo. It's just their most popular probably.
How can she NOT know this song? It's a staple of rock! I was touring Iceland and heard this song on the radio! ICELAND!!!
It's all about the break and then Robbie comes in - spine tingling still.
I never did drugs but when I was in Viet Nam I listened to this song through headsets and always felt a certain "vibe" during the interlude. Another one that is similar, but very long (like 17 Minutes) is In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Take a listen
Last weekend, Robbie Krieger, the guy who wrote this song and played guitar in the band, joined Echo and the Bunnymen to do 2 Doors covers, People Are Strange and Roadhouse Blues.
I saw the Doors when they played at the New Haven Arena back when I was like 15 years old. The band got busted as they were doing the intro to "Light my Fire', by the New Haven Police. Morrison was using language at the time, that was not very acceptable at the time. Also tossed a mic stand out towards the crowd. They shut off the lights, Morrison started yelling to "Turn fhe F*cking lights on" also not an acceptable words for a crowd in 67 I think, maybe 68. The Doors got bum rushed from both sides of the stage by NHPD. Light my Fire was the whole reason for going to the concert. Morrison died at the age of 27 and is buried in Paris, France. Very sad loss.
This came out when I was in high school. I still love it!.
I'd never seen this live version until now. Live performances don't have the time limits of records. Record labels and radio stations like songs to be three minutes at most. But in concert, the musicians can do extended solos. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes not. In this case, it was a good thing. Also, the sound quality of a live recorded performance is sometimes poor, but in this case it was good.
I think the organ was a Vox Continental, a popular electronic instrument of the time. Organs were used quite a bit in pop and rock music then.
When Light My Fire was released on record, for some reason they slowed it down by almost half a step, which made Jim Morrison's voice sound deeper. I don't know why they did that. You can find the speed-corrected version on UA-cam.
When The Doors appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, he made the band promise not to sing the lyric "girl we couldn't get much higher," since it could be taken as a drug reference. Sullivan wanted them to sing, "girl it couldn't get much better," which wouldn't have rhymed, of course. But when the time came, Morrison sang "higher" instead of "better." The show was broadcast live, so they couldn't do anything about it. Sullivan was furious, and refused to shake Morrison's hand afterwards. He sent someone to tell Morrison that The Doors would never be on the Ed Sullivan Show again. Morrison replied, "Hey, man. We just did the Sullivan show."
Definitely a good thing…. Once u figured out what it was
Originally, Ray used a Thomas built Vox Continental, but switched to a Gibson G-101 by Lowrey (the organ in this video) because the plastic keys on the Vox kept breaking. Too bad Thomas really cheapened out on Jennings' organ design. The original had wooden keys, but Jenning's couldn't keep up with American demand for their instruments. They also transistorized all of Vox's amps, which were originally tube driven, and gave them Fender style names. The Gibson actually has more keys and features than the Vox. Ray also played a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass.
The album version is over 7 minutes and 'The End' is over 11 minutes. Yes there is a radio edit, but they didn't cut the songs on the album.
All were great musicians but holy hell, John Densmore was an awesome drummer. Oh, and Jim was a rock God...charisma personified. Amazingly, when Jim began, he used to sing with his back to the crowd due to shyness but he ended up a pied piper.
Love watching you enjoying the best of music !
This is a great live song! You may want to try the studio version of Light My Fire. It is worth a listen. It is version was the one that propelled The Doors to fame.
I'll never forget the first time I heard "Light my Fire." It made me feel so many Goosebumps, and I was transfixed by the amazing sound, and of Jim Morrison's powerful voice.
🥰
Love how the first words out of his mouth after the long interlude were "The time to hesitate is through."
If like long interludes, though, I can top it. Check out "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vita" by Iron Butterfly.
😂oh ya
Classic DOORS 🚪 ❤️
The Doors has a lot of good songs with their unique sounding keyboard with guitar riffs and Jim Morrisons varying vocal range in songs. 🎹🎸🎤
this is one of the biggest rock hits of all time and you've never heard of it that's why I love your channel⚛😀
The Doors Live at the hollywood Bowl 1968 such a cool video! Such a cool band! I found their music hypnotic and trippy and Morrissons Lyrics were awesome! The End is one of my favoeites!
When their first album, the eponymously named record was released, it was far ahead of its time. That was 1967, and if you listen to it, it still seems futuristic. I cannot think of any album, that can match that.
The band had an interesting situation when they performed this on "The Ed Sullivan Show", a popular TV entertainment variety show at the time. In the line "Girl, we couldn't get much higher", the censors wanted them to change the last word to "better", because the original sounded like a drug reference to them. They agreed, but once they went on, Jim Morrison went ahead and did the original line anyway. They were banned from ever appearing on Sullivan again as a result.

@@DianeJennings I feel the same way about You! Being the best!
The church organ and maracas here are so awesome that these sounds remain constant throughout all of heavy metal's greatest anthems. What's that? Oh, turns out first and last time ever. Dang it!
One of the best debut albums ever , jimi hendrix had his debut album the same year , 1967 had some fantastic albums, the doors had no bass player , Ray manzerek played bass on the organ, the doors were the Ed Sullivan show and were told to not sing take you higher , Jim yelled it louder, they weren't invited back , they will go down in history as one of the best rock bands along with this huge hit , new york
This is why you should always play the live version whenever possible
A band I been listening to for 58 years will live on for centuries
One of the all time great rock and roll songs.
I love The Doors! Listen to their entire discography!
Diane- this is a great selection. This has always been one of my favorite Doors songs. I remember when we were in college if you heard this song coming from a dorm room (or apartment) that you should definitely not knock on the door. Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh really? It was THAT kinda song? 🫣
Merry Christmas, Ms Diane. May your new year be blessed.
The Doors are the best Rock Group America has ever produced. The first one to have their first 8 albums go gold.
Light My Fire was the song Tom Hanks sang in Castaway when he finally managed to light his campfire
This song came out they didn't have many songs, so they stretched them out to an incredible length just to fill time.
Check out their song "Touch Me" , the live version , you will love it.
I listened to The Doors way too much in college. Bought Jim's poetry books (I was into poetry back then) and read an interesting book comparing Jim and Arthur Rimbaud. Crazy days.
Love watching you react to these songs!
This performance was at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. Before the show backstage Jim Morrison took some LSD, then gave Robbie the guitarist some acid too. They played the whole concert.
Ahhhhhh the long version. Perfect for a sandwich break during the middle instrumental section. Radio stations played a short version. Good choice to watch a live performance Diane. BOOP
Perfect indeed! I was like wtf 😂 that’s the version that was requested
This is another fun song that I love to listen to on the radio regularly. And while I'm excited for Christmas coming up, I am more focused on Thanksgiving which is tomorrow here in the United States. Anyways thanks for another great video.
Happy holidays!
Jim was known for messing with the crowd a lot gearing up to sing again. It was just what he liked to do.
I'd suggest Gary Numan. Start with his best known hit "Cars", then move on to "Are Friends Electric?" and "I Die: You Die", and then fast forward to "My Name Is Ruin" and "Saints And Liars" :)
Couple of band recommendations: Adam and the Ants/Adam Ant. Possibly the single influence of the New Wave aesthetic in the 1980s.
Twisted Sister. Highly recommend "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the first experience. Glam rock mixed with 80s hair band.
And mustn't forget the Stray Cats. Rockabilly during the 80s, which became the Brian Setzer Orchestra of today. Brian is a seriously underappreciated guitarist.
Squirrel Nut Zippers was a favorite in our house, for the name alone!
@@mikeh720 Tack them on as well. I love the SNZ! And "Hell." A cheerful hellfire and damnation song. 😂
This is fun, you almost never hear the long version of this song any more, although to be fair even when it first came out, it was the short version that was almost always played.
The Sound of Silence by Disturbed original sang by Simon and Garfunkel Thanks Diane!!
.
Great video Diane. I grew up listening to music like this! I wasn't a huge fan of the Doors or this song, but I did listen. I remember drinking with my buddies while listening to Roadhouse Blues! My favorite of the Doors. Great content young lady!
I LOVE this chick it's like she came from another DIMENSION because she has never heard all of this GREAT OLD SCHOOL classic rock music that everyone else knows.
I found that really relaxing so thanks x
I like you explaining the songs as much as the songs themselves. I've heard the songs a lifetime but never checked out the why's or how they came about. Thanks
The bass line is played by the organist on a keyboard mounted on his organ. Very trippy song.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. A good time to give thanks of the good of the world. I hope You and Chewie have a day filled with happy joy, feast of food, good music, movies, and fun with family. Happy Thanksgiving!
Live jams are the best!
The brilliant singer and Spanish guitarist, Jose Feliciano, did a cover of the Door's song. It was a big hit in the US. Check it out, it's a listening pleasure.
Their music just draws you in
LA Woman is a great song too. Also, watch the film starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison.
JIM IS A GOD-an ADONIS! GORGEOUS< GORGEOUS HAIR< FACE , VOICE AND BODY! OMG! KIMberly!
Jim Morrison as much if not more of a poet, than musician.
the moment that Morrison uttered the first line of the first song for the first time as the lead singer of the Doors........was also the first time he ever sang or even attempted to sing a song.....ever. He never sang at school, church........nothing....ever.....Yet after he became the Doors lead singer he never suffered from a horse voice, sore throat, strained vocal cords.....nothing....ever.
I just can't get into The Doors, but thanks for reviewing/reacting to the video and giving me another taste of their music. I really enjoy how you always end the reactions with a commentary trying to summarize either the theme, message or history of the song. 🤘🎸
I understand. Aww thanks! I wasn’t sure anyone liked that bit 😂
@DianeJennings no, it's helpful. Most of us who grew up on these never looked them up
@@DianeJennings I always want to know the story behind a song. Keep it up!
Diane, you totally get it! i love watching your reactions to true 60s psychedelia - i'm age 55 and by the 1980s i was in a very minor cover band for this which is how i first got introduced to the internal workings here :)
Happy Thanksgiving Diane
'King interludes', drum / guitar / keyboard solos were / are very common at concerts to stretch the length, 'work the crowd', get the audience more into the vibe, and/or 'put on great show' for the fans. It was also a way to make the song different than what was on the album / cd. Depending on the type of concert, it also gave time for the audience to partake of certain 'helpful substances' to bring them a 'higher' appreciation of the music. This started in the psychedelic era) late 60's to mid 70s) and to continue for the generations to follow.
Yes Jim Morrison was known to use some 'medicines' and alcohol during this time which is why he believed to have died from alcohol poisoning, H overdose, or a combination of the 2. Since there was NO autopsy, his death is left undetermined. When he died in Paris, he became part of The 27 Club.
Yeah the Doors are notorious for extending their songs. I think on their 2CD greatest hits album the song "The End" is approximately 14 minutes long 😮. Happy Thanksgiving enjoy your free time D & C!
Wowza!! No free time here but we hope you have a brilliant day. I wish we were in the US for it!
Ditto for Bruce Springsteen and Bruce Hornsby
Live versions are usually longer than the studio versions. Jim is buried in Paris. 27 Club
