The Doors channel is the official UA-cam home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.
With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.
The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger - a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.
One of the greatest albums ever made.
Absolutely. It flows seamlessly from one track to the next, capturing something dark, mysterious and even romantic through the strange arrangements and of course Jim Morrison's lyrics and poetry. Pretty much a perfect album. It speaks of the pain of lost love too, which is great listening when going through a breakup.
Certainly 😊
Awesome group
In 1969 I was 14, always having lived in Liverpool, having heard the Beatles from day one of their output. I'd heard the Beach Boys, Motown, the Stones, the Who and many more justifiable legends besides. And then one night in my cousin's house I heard the album Strange Days. It knocked me into another dimension, and I'm still orbiting it as I near 70 courtesy of all their other music. The Doors were and still are phenomenal - end of!
all of those bands are good, gotta love the classics
I agree🎉🎉
I have loads of Scouser friends and lived in the city for a long time. I can't imagine how vibrant the scene must've been in those days. But you're right about The Doors - they are unique, no one sounds quite like them, no one has ever tried to copy them (that I'm aware of) and it would be impossible anyway. Such a unique set up instrumentally and also Jim Morrison's lyrics/poetry are on another plane. Truly a stand-out in rock and roll history. Jim Morrison inspired so many with his stage persona too, namely Iggy Pop I think who also carved out a niche with The Stooges and then his solo stuff, working with Bowie. Iggy's collection of stuff is where you'll find something which sounds closest to The Doors but still not quite.
I'm born and raised in LA and I've been to many of the Doors' old haunts, over the year. The clubs they played at in the 60s are still
open on sunset Blvd, like the
Whiskey, etc..
Riders on the Storm is awesome. Perfect for driving down pacific coast highway late at night.. SoCal in the 70s being the world capital of "killers on the road" lol
@46:10 is the best part
I never cared for The Beatles. Not my kind of music I guess......
I am over 60 years old and still listening and loving the Doors. Getting my 12 year old Grandson into the Doors now!
Go to bed gramps
@@poppaboppa6000 drink some milk fool let the man chill
Good for you. The Doors are exceptional and I think don't get the cred they deserve. And its always good to educate the young'uns about the history of modern music.
The Doors will never get old.
Me too I am 61 tomorrow. Jim lives
I received this album in vinyl form from a previous roommate and friend several years ago. He said he found it thrifting for under a dollar years prior and he was ready to part with it. I liked it a lot and after owning it for a couple of years I began to dive deeper into live recordings, reading numerous books on Jim Morrison and The Doors- I was so intrigued and pleasured with what I continued to find!
In 2016 I got hit on the shoulder of the road as I was pulled over to send a text message. Traumatic brain injury, hemorrhaging of the brain and a week long coma. My short memory was suddenly so poor afterwards and it was so difficult to remember what I was doing at any time. I began to dive back into the doors and An American Prayer specifically- listening to all of it every day until I had every lyric instilled within me. It helped me so much in my recovery and still does to this day and now I wear MR MOJO RISIN tattooed on my arm. A groovy anagram. I hope I can thank Jim one day- and the rest of the members for what they gave me. X
God has already blessed you. You are a beautiful person, and this 65 year old's eyes are cloudy now.
Keep jamming love this LP. I'm an artist. I don't understand people that don't think music is a blessing. It helps my Sobriety.
God bless.😊
Had a very similar experience some years ago.... Maybe 20, not sure. Bike accident, van pulled across the road, I hit the side. Neck, collar bone, a few ribs, nerve damage, brain injury... Memory.. Blah blah blah... You get the point. This very album triggers memories of before that day. (I think). Maybe memories of the past are mixed with perceptions, but they're still representative of who or what you are and where you're from. Hope you're having a good day, no matter the situation your taste in music is exceptional.
Recorded December 1970--January 1971, released April 19, 1971. I was a junior in high school. Sadly, on July 3, 1971 Jim Morrison left this world for the giant gig in the heavens. Tons of great music back then, almost too much to listen to. Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, CSN, Grand Funk, America, Pink Floyd, the list goes on and on and on....................
F......n A!! Unbelievable!!
Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ELP, Steppenwolf, Chicago (the early stuff), Yes, Cream, ACDC (the Bon Scott years), The Who, The Stones, those guys from Liverpool...
Never forget blue cheer babyyy
Free,Humble Pie,Procol Harum,Johnny Winter, Three Dog Night, Elton John,Joni Mitchell,Rod Stewart, The Guess Who, Taste(Rory Gallagher),The James Gang,Badfinger, Blood Sweat and Tears,The Osmond Brothers (just kidding, juuust kidding)

There is such a special place in my heart for the Doors.
BUT I NEVER BIN SO BROKE DAT I COULDN'T LEAVE TOWN

@@theredseventhousand thats nice
Same my dude, nothing but love for The Doors.
How fitting that Jim's ghostly vocals heard near the end are the last he recorded before leaving for Paris with his girlfriend, Pamela and an ill-fated rendezvous with death....spooky shit, man.
agree.... the album is sprinkled w/ foreshadowing lines throughout at least 6-7 songs. its almost as either morrison calculated his exit (its interesting the other band members didnt know he was going to paris, until a week or so before he did) or he was tapped into some deeper premonition imagary coming thru from the other side. he wasnt as ungodly as most seem to think. most poets arent, just overwhelmed at times w/ what they see.
"I see the bathroom is clear' 'I feel that someone's watching me?' Paranoid or real concern?
oD'd on smack, like many of the great ones.
I was 11 when this album came out. I can still remember my cousin playing it over and over again in the summer of '71. It's a masterpiece that sounds as great today as it did back then.
🎉😂❤😊😊 1:23
Yer right buddy..i bought it when it was releast.still liten to it till this day an will die with it..its that good!
im 20 and this will be my first listen
@@robertsbr1 Get ready for the ride of your life! Mr Mojo Risin' is behind the wheel. ✌️
I was born on July 2 the day before Jim exited this frequency.❤
L'America. A "throwback", if you will, to their previous psychedelic albums. Very underated song.
Yeah, it sounds like it would be part of that Strange Days album
agree 100%
Only one Jim
because then they could afford someone to tune their instruments. that song is brutal.
Underrated by who?
Forever losing my voice screaming along with The Changeling
Bandstand, i always thought that song was written about one of my own brothers! :)
based
First time hearing it actually
I know you gotta scream along with it though
You too????? We are so many around the globe 😆😆
This is probably the greatest rock/blues album of the 70s if not of all of rock and roll history.
Happy 51 anniversary LA Woman!!!!!! I love all the songs of this album sooo much.... The doors are one of the best groups of all the time..... I love them......
Totally agree. The Doors are easily one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. L.A. Woman is a great album and an all time classic. From 1967-1971 The Doors released 6 studio albums, all of which are all time classic albums. For a band to release that many albums of such high quality during such a relatively short period of time (4 years) is remarkable.
Said this in another thread, so apologies for plagiarizing myself, but:
The Doors are not "the greatest band of their time," as so many wld have it.
They are timeless, they are for all times.
As we still listen to Bach and Beethoven 200 & 300 years on, our great-grandchildren's great-grandchildren will be listening to The Doors.
One of the greatest albums ever. What a classic to go out on!! The Doors or a band like them could never happen in modern America or music ever again. The end of the western dream!! The musical vibrations will continue to play on into eternity. God bless you Ray and Jim.🙏❤️🎼.x
it was a unique period.... in a kind of different way, I think rem pulled that off too.... it could happen again, if gen z gets a stronger hunger for uncontrived & unbridled music w/ something to say.
I think Nirvana was doing something like this. But still can't compare to the impact of The Doors
@@kelvinkloud This! Gen Z is not only hungry as fuck. but our future.
@@twoforever1 Gen Z lowest iq gen even by conventional standards
@@pappypap Really? I guess i need to get out more. I think millennials are more self absorbed though.
This just may be the best rock album of all times..it has it all..driving beat,excellent keyboards, killer guitar, bass..lol..best vocalist you could ever hope for in a band !!. Bluesy rock 👍👍
A part une présence ponctuelle de Jerry Scheff, il n'y a pas de bassiste chez les Doors !
Up there with Physical Graffiti and Wish you were here
So lucky I was in my teens in the 70's. The music was never better and hasn't been since. Not just the Doors. Everybody.
Don't live with your eyes closed, my friend! There is still great music out there being made, and there's still great people out there to meet. I've only been alive 30 years, but It's long enough to know that not everything's long gone.
That's your story and I'm sticking to it! 😎
You got to keep believing...
La musique des 70’s était super, les doors en particulier mais pas que… mais, les années 90 ont été bien meilleures avec des putains de groupes de rock, qui ne sauront jamais faire mieux aujourd hui en 2024. Vive la musique d avant, la musique des vieux.
@@user-ij2dh6cx2k μιληστε κανα αγγλικο ρε γαλλοι τοπικιστες κουρασατε
If there could have been another American band as great as these guys - our CIA cultural controll freaks took them out, with a few drips of posin, just like a man who was there in the bar in Pairs in '71 told me they did to Jim.
This album is a masterpiece.
It is.....................
it is
Magnum opus
When ever I get asked the question, who’s the best band? I always say the Doors.
I always get the reaction like I’m just a fan boy.
Musically they are so prolific. They hit so many styles blues, jazz, classical pop,
And sound %100 original.
🎯
Love Her Madly is sheer brilliance
Robbie wrote that about his wife,Lynn.
When they would fight,she would walk out the door and slam it hard.
1971 was such a great year for music.
It was.......................
Only for music tho.
i wish i was born in 1971 to witness the greatness
The 70s were a great decade for music, until disco and punk came along and really stunk up the joint.
@@petergregory5537 Joy Division started because of punk music. And i think punk was a reaction against the disco and glam rock.
The drumming is so so so so good on this album. John Densmore!
I agree...everything , on this ALBUM is so so so so good !
Totally underated ..from the same old school as Spencer Dryden..
I agree too
I NEVER get tired of this album. Every song is so good.
I listened to it for the first time in eons and when "Changeling" came on--wow what an intro song! I used to have issues with "L'America" and "Hiyacinth House" though, but I'm finding through more listenings they are growing on me. The rest of the album has always been straight up phenomenal! What a band!
👍👌
I'll make the argument it's the best record they ever made.
Every time I listen to this album it’s like the first time just fantastic
everyone of the Doors records is a gem
Dionysus is the God of insanity, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre. And the soundtrack to all this ritual madness was brilliantly crafted by The Doors. The one and only The Doors
There is such a tightwire to walk between religious revelation and insanity
@@budahbaba7856 To quote Plato, "The greatest blessings of the Gods come by way of madness"
IO EUOI!
@@wildmen5025 As much as i hate to agree with you, i think that master Plato is once again correct in this matter! :)
@@budahbaba7856 Why would you hate to agree? Jim wouldn't have! He would have broken on through to the other side lol
I think the Doors really aged well. I'm 70 now and these songs don't feel old to me at all.
Saw them live at the Toronto Rock Revival 1969. Morrison was freakin AMAZING!!!
Luckyyy I wish I was even alive then to see them perform. One of the best times for music
That is amazing.
@@Mark.13. my way home y6y66
I saw Cage The Elephant during their Tell Me I'm Pretty Tour after Melaphobia and it was like seeing The Doors. The lead singer had unbelievable energy and stage presence. It was a truly incredible show.
I first heard Riders on the Storm in my older brother's room high and asked why are we listening to Frank Sinatra?
This album proved The Doors still had a ton left in the tank. Had Jim lived, I think Scheff/Beno would’ve become regular players in the band and they would’ve toured with them, possibly making more albums too. Think of the live Doors show that could’ve been with a beefed up sound and a more sober Jim. Wasn’t meant to be. But this album JAMS.
I noticed Robbie's guitar is more prevalent in this album, they could have gotten better
@@carlneoh5843 All brilliant musicians. Jim's lyrics are sublime......
I'm not sure about Scheff, cause he was touring with Elvis regularly, but Benno could've been a full-time member for sure. I always felt a little bit sorry for him, he never got the acknowledgement he deserved for. He was a great guitar player and not bad songwriter too.
yes one often wonder had jim morrison not died or did he really and just lived a reclusive obscure life away from it all hmm who knows
@@carlneoh5843 I think the Beno guy he's referring to came in to play rhythm guitar so Robby could concentrate on his leads

Thanks mate.
If everyone likes this it will be easier to listen to tracks and knock the groupies off the top comments.
Master of Reality, LA Woman and Zep 4 WoW! What a year!
@@superbuddyfranklin the timestamps are already set in the video
Perfect from start to finish, not a single second wasted on this album.
FUN FACT: Paul Rothchild who produced all 5 studio albums prior to L A Woman, began producing this album and got 3 tracks down including "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm", but quit after they recorded "Love Her Madly", hating the song, calling it "cocktail music". Engineer Bruce Botnik took over and the rest is Doors history.
Thats a shame those songs are all iconic
I'm glad he got of the album... love her madly is one of jims best songs ....
Fuck that Ro thsc.h!ld bitch its all in the name baby , why does certain rich aristocratic people have control over the music industry...

What meaning of Cocktail Music?
That was a great time....I'm 89 now and i remember dancing.....twas awesome
Wow
Still be playing this 100 years from now🔥
I think this is the best Doors album. That's not because it is their best work ever, but because recording technology had advanced quite a bit in the short years between the first album and this one. It's got more tracks, and is dialed in better than earlier records.
There is not a bad Doors album. They're all worth a listen. This one is the best sounding, and given that it's the last one with Jim, it's his farewell.
Strange Days
Ok..you think?...i was there!
Bought the vinyl at Uni. 50 years later - still listening!
I didn’t even have pubes when this came out. I still realized it was badass, I kept stealing my older brother’s copy. I mean, what other band would have recorded “I’m the crawling king snake”?
If you don't love Morrison after you hear this you can't be human.
Count me as a true alien, then. Jim Morrison was mentally ill from the very start.
I always wait for Ray's keyboard on 'Love he Madly". He was spot on with that song! :)
The Doors had Jerry Scheff,Elvis's bass player on this album save for L'America. I feel he really adds something to the Doors sound. Lots of catchy and inventive playing.
Been listening to this album since God was a boy and I'm still loving it!
Guessing everybody's on a Jesus kick today Rock on 7
God was a coyboy
"No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn." Poetic brilliance.
It was springtime '71 and the release of this album created a huge buzz in our high school. I remember many discussions about it in my homeroom class. The rounded corners of the album cover generated a lot of comment. No one had ever seen an album cover shaped like that before. At the time, it was considered almost as revolutionary as the Sergeant Pepper album cover. With Love Her Madly rising up the charts and summer break about to begin, it was a heady time for fans of the 'Doors. Then a few weeks later, we got the news from Paris... I blame it all on L'America and it's so-called justice system for hounding Jim into fleeing the country. He didn't do anything in Miami that warranted the way that they persecuted him. Once he was in Paris, he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He either scored some bad dope or snorted some.of Pam's that he mistakenly thought was coke. He probably never would have went to Paris if it wasn't for the government's prosecution of him.
I remember in 1972, when I was 6,my brother Barry Parsons playing it He was 16,then He passed away July 19,2019, was63,sure miss him,we liked the same music
This comment is amazing because you are correct and to know so much about the details is a sign of hope for me
I agree with everything you said.
I will add that Pam was with a Prince in Paris who was the kingpin of 'white China' so the H looked a lot like C.
On an OD from H - you put the person in a cold bath to help. As Jim was found.
No pictures or police investigation . Burried before anyone could see him. Insane, it's Jimbo!!! Aneay, the Princed covered it up, dropped Pam like someday cigarette... she lost everything cause she was dumb and an addict more than a drug user. She became a crackwhore, literally six for hits. Gross
She died a few years later, so she took the truth with her.
She never did anything to help Jim. He loved her beauty and demanding attitude unfortunately
@@lisaparsons4124 - Thanks for sharing that memory of your brother. My brother passed away in 1993 and he was a very good guitarist. I have lots of music related memories of him.
@@laserluver1 your welcome,so sorry about your brother, They are with God now.Always loved the guitar thanks for sharing that .
I like the way all the instruments interact with each other. Like every band member is tightly interlocked with what one another are doing.
And that's exactly what was going on. I doubt there ever was or will be a band so connected.
Recorded live in the studio if I remember correctly.
Yep, they're very tight and confident here. It's too bad that Jim would be gone so soon after - if he had taken a one-year break and then returned to the band, what would their next album have sounded like?
@@paulblakey4589 well Paul I have a little story for you, this album was recorded in an apartment, I can't remember if it was a band members apartment or not but either way Jim's vocal booth was the bathroom wich was tiny and helped create the unique vocal sound you here in this album. This album was never played live as a foursome as Jim immediately left for Paris after it was recorded and died 6 months later. Riders on the storm wasnt played live until 2004 when Ray manzarek and robby kreiger toured as "The Doors of the 21st century".
The band that came closest out of this world. Mr mojo risin mojo risinnnn...
the doors the greatest to ever do it, peace to all my foreign friends
Memories of being 16 and listening to LA Woman in my friend’s car, late night on the weekend after partying all night, maybe a bit stoned, out in the sticks of Virginia, and just letting the music envelope us. Miss those times.
I've been listening to this band since I was a teen. Whenever I am sad, or angry, or mad about something, They are THE medicine for my soul
love The Lizard King ❤️❤️❤️
Emi dove seiiii
...And with any other band, he would not have been the Lizard King!
Cheers

I can't stay away from this music!...it's definitely the best!!!!I still dream of that time...my eternal youth!!! ❤❤❤
Having the bass player off Elvis's band sure made a big deal wish he was there on every album would have really helped Jim out. The only guy that could really hang with Jim and hold his own
My favorite The Doors album and in top 10 best music ever created on planet earth.
What about other planets ??
First time listening to this, on a Doors binge listened to every record in chronological order up until this point
The Doors of Perception have been opened...
Favorite album of all time. Been down so long so underrated. Hyacinth House, crawling king snake, Texas radio and the Big Beat, and Riders on the Storm to close it off. Listen from top to bottom just about every time. Lamerica is only one i ever skip, sometimes. Remember you used to lie in the basement with the lights off and just listen to this album.
Underrated by who? This album has rave reviews and killer sales. Who do you think underrated it?
If you listen to this album with headphones whilst stoned and just close your eyes this album definitely takes you through a trip, like a movie, in your mind.
Oh my lol..exactly what I’m doing. Just amazing music!!
Fuck yeah bud, stoned without the headphones!
It's so well engineered.
You don't have to even be stoned to rock on with this recording.
Excellent 👍
I was 8 years old when this album came out. My parents played it over and over. Every beat, riff, and vocal will be stuck in my head till I die. ABSOLUT CLASSIC!!!
I was 3
I bought the album back then for 4 bucks off the shelf..new..then i heard the news about two weeks later..maybe more
You got it buddy..i was there
I was there buddy..!!
An actor out on lone?
Jim was tripin in them days. I graduated High School high on Jim's Music... Class of 1969 Mesmerizing spiritual vibes.... Serpents..., I am all in. It's a long story.
Peace out my man. Out in 67. Still riden the snake.
Every time I hear RIDERS on the STORM I think of driving my 71 torino at night, with dashboard lights glowing green. It's a memory of an actual moment that just stuck. I am very happy that it did.
You can really hear the booze in Jim's voice on 'Been down so long' lol bless him.
Interesting to hear the change in his voice from early on the LA woman. Whisky soaked blues man he was!! What a voice to me the best ever
Truly the golden age of musicians. We'll never again see albums with multi-generational, global impact.
Thank you 😊 and it's Friday.... life is good 😌
Amen.brother.benjamin
Ok
Friday The 13th!
Yeaaa
It's Friday today too!!!!
Yeah best album ever
Soft parade better
"Riders On The Storm". Need I Say More?
Morrison Hotel better
"One" of the Best.
@@dickdale2839 no
My very favourite Doors song is Touch Me. I don’t think I’ve ever quite recovered from being a teenager and seeing Jim et al. on the Ed Sullivan show. Still takes my breath away thinking about it. My mother was made to watch and listen too as she walked about tidying up. Bet she was as impressed as I was.
Pure Rock and Roll 🎸 🤟
Who did nietzche fuck
I was in L.A. last week and my soundtrack was me grunting Changeling to myself for hours.
Good to hear. It's on my bucket list brother
Best songs from this album are rarely heard on the radio. Changeling, Been Down So Long, Crawling King Snake, The Wasp.
Their last album...
Their best album.....
The Doors Forever
a reallyvery good album, yeah! im a "new" fan of them. in fact i really know them maybe ten years ago when in paris i bought exactly la woman like a random purchase. i knew the doors but not their music and when i went into that album i becae crazy. this album is a fuckin good thing
....Not Their Last album ...They Made 2 more Albums After Jim Morrison
"I need someone, yeah, who doesn't need me." "It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play." -- I love Hyacinth House. Love the whole album. The song LA Woman had me entranced in high school and still does. Just 4 words and you can almost smell LA's seamy underbelly in the late 60s-- "Motel, Money, Murder, Madness."
Well said
how about: 'never saw a woman SO alone' .... when you consider metaphorically, the woman was LA itself. the leading media capital of the world. microcosm of the manufacturing of amer culture, envy, media etc. An increasing empty pit of narcissism. Addictive envy. once played out thru its lineal course, one only ends up more craven & unsatisfied. wh/ takes you back full circle to a society, increasingly connected, yet inversely more and more alone. He nailed it in 6 words.
First time I heard the whole album was on 8 track in my dad's old Charger. I was 9 years old. Sounded great then and even better now.
One of my elder brothers owned a Charger.
The first Doors I ever bought on vinyl was L.A. Woman when I was 17. A very raw album that packs a punch. Definitely one the band's greatest albums.
mine first vinyl doors too at 17! although i did buy some of their 45's when i was younger than 17.
Man !
LA WOMAN is also the very 1st album I bought , I was 14 years old and walked 7 miles round trip to buy it with my money I earned delivering newspapers.
The year was 1980 and I bought it on 8 track .
Played it constantly on my parent console stereo that was as big as a triple dresser.
God I miss those days…
This album stands the test of time
I keep coming back to this album. I have stopped asking myself why.😎
The part in L.A. Woman when they finally come back around to revisit the first verse after the long build up has to be the most exhilarating resolution in the history of rock and roll music. Just pure energy and satisfaction. Absolutely incredible.
I specifically remember rockin out to L.A.Woman @ a party in my Green Mountain,Co.10th story apartment. Early 70's. 72 now & still LOVE the Doors. ☮️✌️
This was their masterpiece. Beginning to End.
No top ten lists of greatest rock songs should ever exclude 'LA Woman'
Eternal and amazing masterpiece of beautiful blues and poetic souls between heart and dream!
Thanks Doors.
Morrison's voice really changed in just 6 years.
He was a chain smoker, going through over two packs a day. I think this album shows the toll it took, but at the same time that gravely aspect to his voice gives the album more of a punch.
@@gregsmith7949 I've heard he didn't smoke a lot and that he did later on. It's a good voice even deeper and rougher. Krieger said he smoked at the Hollywood Bowl show because he was nervous.
He aged fast as he was living fast. He was purportedly getting grey hairs around this time. Only in his mid - late 20s.
Alcoholism and just a general psychic exhaustion.
Top class album! Needed more from them as they could've only gotten better.
Jim morrison wasn't about being the band .he was putting his poetry into music
There was no way they could continue without Jim
@@justindawson5930 They did attempt to , with an album called "Other voices" I bought it as a teenager , it was pretty bad.
He was here..and then to get the f…k out of here..who wants to live forever in this shambles they call life…
@@randstadwoodbury7171 Hmm,that album had a top 20 hit,"Tightrope Ride",n they released the album "Full Circle"after that.Besides, Krieger wrote "Light my Fire","Love me two times" n "Love her Madly"among others,which we're they're best selling singles. . .
Raymond Manzarek Rest In Peace 😭
James Douglas Morisson Rip 😭😎
John Densmore Long Live 💪😎🤘
Robbie Krieger Long Live 💪😎🤘
why no smiley w/ shades for Ray?
Happy Birthday Lizard King!!!

Как и остальные члены группы
@@user-op3hy9vz3h Не знаю как кому,но для меня финальный диск L.A Woman просто шедевр. Только The Doors могли так круто поставить точку. Эх...если бы не смерть Моррисона..😢🎶
@@llistentorock Сколько бы ещё прекрасных песен могли исполнить. Но будем благодарны тому что имеем много их хорошей музыки
Повністю згідний з усім написанним вище!/ Полностью согласен со всем написаным выше!
Единственный американский поэт. ,, Жизнь нужно прожить так, чтобы" быть похороненным на Пер-Лашез.... Апполинер,Бизе,Уайльд, Дункан, Пруст,Махно, Шопен,Моррисон.....
Thank you so much for uploading the full album, guys! This is how every channel's band should be dude, uploading all their music for everyone to listen, not like some other family I know (Cough, HENDRIX STATE, cough)
cough, BEATLES, cough
@@isobello_banana I mean, the official stuff is all there, all the songs, but yeah, other stuff like concerts, bootlegs, different fanmade mixes not :(
@@isobello_banana Five years ago, you'd be right.
Ah...good memories..I used to dance to this when I was a twelve....still dancing....
Love the bass lines in Changeling !
"See me Change"
It's almost like a funk line
@@loetzcollector466 take me to Funky Town
Funky, using a bass riff from "Shotgun" by Junior Walker and the Allstars ua-cam.com/video/cq6jquFrb08/v-deo.html
"Cars Hiss By My Window".... such a great bluesy track....
I grew up with this album in my lady chasing days. I'm too old to chase these days but it still brings back wonderful memories of those days.
🎉
I was a youngster when this album came out but when I was a teenager and still I simply love the DOORS! But not l.s.d. anymore.. perhaps some shrooms once in awhile 😂
The Doors a awesome group I remember in 1972, when I was 6,my brother Barry Parsons playing this album then.Barry Parsons passed away july 19,2019, was63.💐
Barry Parsons was a cool brother ❤ your my age ❤️👌🏻
@@Lexington125 thanks ❤️ great to meet you here,a great night to you 😁
My condolences. So good he passed on these amazing musical vibes at the time.
@@makusmati thanks ❤️ have a great day
Classic Albums don’t come better than this. Had Jim Morrison not passed away so soon after recording this masterpiece then beyond doubt there would have been at least one, maybe more.
After hearing other remasters of this album the 1999, 2007, 1993 DCC Steve Hoffman, 2000/2007 stereo and 5.1 Remix i didn't think this album could sound any better. With this remaster the instruments are better separated and you can hear more clarity in the recordings. Great job Bruce!
Love It.
Thank you Jim! Thank you The Doors! I always need your Rock poetry and passionate live performances!
The WASP is among the most incredible of Morrison's lyrics. One last blast of greatness before fading away with Riders on the Storm.
The Doors made some of the best music ever recorded simple as!!!
Jim Morrison absolute genius musician song writer poet etc.
There is so much good music out there I can catch enough. I only have thousands of vinyl albums and that's not enough. I never listened to UA-cam until 2 years ago. I always played my technics stereo equipment with six feet tall speakers. I still like to play my stereo loud to shake me and feel good when I wake up and crawl out of bed. The Doors is good Blues to. I only play what sounds good to me.
Hottest album of 2022.
Merci pour ce remastered de qualité. Quel sonorisation exceptionnel, c'est un véritable plaisir.
Merci de continuer à perpétuer la légende qu'est devenue votre groupe de musique!
Vive ❤The Doors❤ pour toujours!!!
☮️☮️☮️
Oh man im gonna get this masterpiece atleast 1000 views by repeating the full album haha
I don't remember a time when I didn't hear the Doors but when i first heard LA Woman i was 18yrs old in 1982 in a real dive bar in N.Ireland. this bar 'LaCave' ,now gone, was usually frequented by rough types, sailors, ladies of the night and total music heads. The barman was great you could request him to play a whole LP Record when he saw how much this kid loved LA Woman he played it all night. I have ever since been hooked on the Doors. When I've visited LA I've always tried to visit their old haunts i'm still in love with them & their music there's never been anything like them, they're stoned immaculate

CARS HIS BY MY WINDOW
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me, but she's
Out of reach
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room
Ride
Ride on

L.A WOMAN
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel, city of night
City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, come on
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue blues
Into your blues, oh, yeah
I see your hair is burnin'
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Drivin' down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mister mojo risin', mister mojo risin'
Mojo risin', gotta mojo risin'
Mister mojo risin', gotta keep on risin'
Risin', risin'
Gone risin', risin'
I'm gone risin', risin'
I gotta risin', risin'
Well, risin', risin'
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
Woah, ohh yeah
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel, city of night
City of night, city of night, city of night, whoa, come on
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, you're my woman
Little L.A. woman, little L.A. woman
L.A. L.A. woman woman
L.A. woman, come on

L'AMERICA
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America
Come on people, don't you look so down
You know the rain man is coming to town
He'll change your weather, change your luck
And it'll teach you how to
Find yourself
L'America
Friendly strangers came to town
All the people put them down
But the women loved their ways
Come again some other day
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
That falls
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America

HYACINTH HOUSE
What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?
What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?
To please the lions in this day
I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me
I need someone, yeah who doesn't need me
I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebody's near
I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah
Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end

THE WASP(TAXAS RADIO AND THE BIG BEAT)
I want to tell you 'bout Texas radio and the big beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died
The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned, immaculate"
Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the loss of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
I'll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
I'll tell you 'bout Texas radio and the Big Beat
Soft, driven, slow and mad, like some new language
Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
---------------------------------------------------------
RIDERS ON THE STORM
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Brilliant Lyrics.
considering the pressure morrison was under at this point, along w/ declining health, this is a straight up absolute masterpiece achievement from the band. the label seemed to be moving them out the door, yet the doors came back w/ a joe frazier like left hook.... top to bottom, a strong argument can be made this is their best work ever.
It comes down for me over the decades that I can only say which LPs I like best, or even just certain songs. This here was an achievement as a swan song, to be sure; but earlier songs just continue to call to me as what haunts me the most...and most of those are on the first two LPs.
Still-- such a classic band, and as unique as imaginable--especially the feel, the challenge certain songs present like When The Music's Over, The End, End of the Night, Crystal Ship, LMF, Unhappy Girl, You're Lost Little girl, etc. stand the test of time
This is the epitome of the band's evolution to blues-the essence of what they became or the development into what they always were.
A strong finish. It continues with even more force the bounce back begun with Morrison Hotel.
The Doors will always be defined by the psychedelia but were much more.
It's my favorite album , and to me It's always pointed out the fact as Awesome as the Doors Were, they would have been exponentially greater with Jerry Scheff on Bass, there is no substitution for an awesome Bass Player. the work he did for this album in Studio helped make it sound the way it does. Perfection.
@@babel232 agree … some of the bass work of the era on a rock album… great tone and feel. They should’ve added to the band.
Declining health.........STOP using drugs !!
