Light My Fire 2020 LIVE in 4k, 5.1 surround* - The Doors (tribute cover)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I've posted my vocal cover of this one before and got a lot of nice comments, way back when... This time, I've got a little story to share. Nearly 53 years ago, before I recorded this one with my band recently, I was sitting in the back of my mother's second hand 1952 Chevy, that had been given to us by my one of my paternal aunts. The year was 1967. It was summer and I had a huge decision to make and it was weighing heavily on my seven-year-old mind. My mom had given me enough money to by ONE 45-RPM record from the Bullock's department store record department, and we were about to go in. I had to choose between two of my favorite songs that summer that were competing for my seventy-five cents.
What was it going to be? The radio edit of Light My Fire by The Doors? Or Yellow Submarine by The Beatles? Both were huge hits on the radio and I loved both songs. I had no idea what appealed to my seven-year-old sensibilities regarding "Light My Fire". I just knew I liked it. But, hey, what seven-year-old can resist the Beatles and their whimsical song? I bought The Yellow Submarine and happily played it over on my sister's record player - over and over and over again.
But my love for Light My Fire only grew with time and I decided to have my band cover this one because in the long run, this song had a lot more impact and meaning for me than Yellow Submarine ever did, which I still like, but essentially 'grew out of".
No comparison of the bands. Again, I love them both. Fortunately, I don't have to pick one over the other anymore. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy. BTW, I hope you don't find my "new" natural look too jarring. I became a grandfather and turned 60 within the span of a few months recently and decided to stop trying to kid myself and just let nature take its course - and that includes letting my hair go gray to match my newfound grandpa creds. Cheers.
*UPDATE: 01/23/2021: I took the multi-track masters and remixed this and some of our other best tributes recently in stunning 5.1 surround, but UA-cam does not decode discrete 5.1 mixes as of this writing, so what you have here is a proper 2.0 stereo mix to accommodate the current limitations of UA-cam. To really fully appreciate how wonderful this tribute can sound, though, I am happy to share a link to the 5.1 surround version to anyone who wants to experience this song in an incredibly immersive way. It practically feels like you're on stage with us. Just e-mail a request to mrsjonesrevenge@gmail.com and I will send you back a link to retrieve the 5.1 file and provide instructions on how to play it back on your 5.1 system.
Sadly, this would be the very last time my band would ever perform this classic. Mrs. Jones' Revenge is no more. For personal reasons, I decided the time was right for me to step away and I left the band on June 8th, 2020 - nearly 10 years after I had originally formed it. The rest of the band then quickly disintegrated. I'll always be grateful for the good run that we had ...
I just discovered this band an hour ago today and reading this sad news. While so far all your songs I listened to sound great, but especially for the Doors it's a perfect band. Sorry to hear that the band broke up.
Don't be sad that it's over...be glad that it happened.
Best wishes to you all!
@@EarthtonesCymbals Absolutely.
@John Doe Thanks brother. I will for as long as I am able.
Sometimes frontman does his job. Even Gahan tried to follow his own steps outside the Depeche Mode.
To me the jam in the middle of this song by Ray and Robby never ever get old. To the radio stations who cut it out...curse you
Absolutely!!!
It’s what I want from this song every time it plays
And these guys do a great job of re-creating it. There is some improvisation and deviation from the original which is very good. I was kinda spacing out as I did listening to the original. Great job all around!!!
I saw the doors,in Los Angeles, in 1966,u guys.naild it,rock.on.
How lucky were you!!! Wow!! Thank you!
Oh My God !
This is the closest thing that sounds exactly like the original.
Top notch playing and singing !
Thank you so much.
@@JeffMcNeal My pleasure, Jeff !
This is the best cover i have heard singer and band are very good thank you and have a good day
I'm the singer and on behalf of the rest of the band, I say thank you for the wonderful compliment! Cheers.
Great performance, the best that I have seen. thanks
Thank you, Jim!
BEST SONG EVER GREAT JOB
Absolutely one of the best - and thank you!
Everybody went crazy on this, nice vocals too 👌🏼
Appreciate that, thank you!
I love when the musicians enjoy their performance this much, awesome work misters! greetings from Perú
Thank you very much!
whats with the bass guitar playing keyboard part???
3:18 Sublime.
Thanks for taking the time.
Seen you on the The Changeling comment section too lol
One of the best covers I've seen so far!
Wow you sound almost identical to Jim! You guys did amazing! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words! The band is no longer, but I continue to record tribute vocal impressions from time to time.
@@JeffMcNeal aw man! That sucks to hear 😔 I took a listen to your vocal impressions and they’re incredible! You definitely earned a sub!
@@vitro7970 I appreciate that! Thank you!
Que gran cover para tan hermosa melodía, som unos genios todos wow increíble
Que gran tributo a uno de los grandes que se fue tan tan joven. Mis respetos y aplausos para el grupo y para el vocalista me pareció oír al gran Jim 👏👏
I'm the vocalist and thank you for the wonderful compliment! Appreciate your taking the time. Cheers.
Gracias por el gran tributo. Y por compartir tu talento. Me gustaría algún día presenciar su trabajo. Yo encantadísima. Saludos desde Chile 👏👏✨
Debes oír a the end chopo tributo a los Doors
Luego comentas.
@@JoseFlores-bx5un tomaré su sugerencia 👌✨️
Gracias. Se que le gustará. Sin demeritar a los demás. Dios le bendiga.
Heard it all the day and it continued in my head all the night.
My band played this hundreds of times late 60s early 70s. Well done guys!!
On behalf of the band, I thank you!
God,how,l.wish,l could go back..to the 60s.
De niño escucha the Doors gracias a un vecino QEPD eran sus ídolos y gracias a el los the Doors son mis ídolos 🤘🔥👑🦎🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Great job! You oughta get the band back together!
Thanks, but that's not happening. Too much bad blood. It was an ugly break up. But hey, it was fun while it lasted! I may still release some new videos from previous performances, who knows!
Seriously? It's stupid how great this is. Amazing job.
Really glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks!
@@JeffMcNeal no thank you! Ate away at my cardio haha
Greatest cover i ever heard
Thank you so much...
Cool, are the best cover.
The voice is perfect.
Thank you!
Amo essa Música dos Doors. Aliás, a obra musical dessa banda é muito legal..Viva Jim Morrison e os Doors...
Wow! I just discovered this. This has got to be the best cover of "Light My Fire" on UA-cam. You guys were great!
That's an amazing compliment. So glad that you think so, Prakash. Thank you!
One of the few times I ever appeared on-stage with a professional band was when I was about 18. I was at a wedding dance in Red Wing with some classmates from the Electronics program at Saint Paul TVI. During a break I was talking to the organist. I told him I was working on some stuff on my Kimble organ at home, including jamming on the "middle part" of Light My Fire. He told me that I could stand behind him and watch while the band played. One of the tunes they played was LMF. I watched closely as he got into the "middle part". After a bit, he motioned me to replace him! I was unfamiliar with the knee-lever volume-control on his combo organ (the Kimble had a proper organ pedal), but I plunged in. After a bit he gently touched my arm and I moved aside. I kept watching him and his fingers answered some questions I had had about the improvisational possibilities. After the song was over, I thanked him and went back to the table where my classmates were. I asked one of them how it was. "Okay. A little choppier than the other guy." I was pretty-happy to know that I had not made a complete fool of myself.
Thanks for sharing your memory!
Very nicely done. And I like how the video length is the exact length of the album version by the Doors.
Thank you for noticing that! I remember taking note of that and thinking it was pretty cool at the time.
I think the new look is GREAT!!! Good for you! You even look more relaxed that way, at least on this vid. GREAT Morrison cover, as usual!
Thanks, John!
Thanks, this song made my day. Better than the original one. Cheers from Napoli, Italy
While I appreciate the compliment, that's impossible. But again, my sincere thanks and I'm very glad you liked it!
Check out the epic live at isle of Wight festival, almost 14 mins long
I know it very well.
You're very happy and proud performing.
I was, thank you!
What a good cover, I would love to be in that magical moment, everyone enjoying the moment. What a good band greetings from Mexico
Doors sound so much better when there's an actual bass playing the bass parts. Sounds so much bigger!
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed the mix. Cheers.
Tremendos, maravillosos!!! How the people enjoy!
I just discovered this by accident. Awesome. I have listened to - and loved - Jeff's other music for several years. What a great sound, you guys are tremendous. On a side note.. just wondering who is the ONE asshole giving this a thumbs down.
Love this cover❤
The best cover song ever🎶✨🎶👍
You have a great voice, man. Perfectly imitates Jim Morrison, but also just different enough that we can hear you doing your own thing too. Great performance from the band overall. Just read in the comments that you guys broke up after this one ... sorry to hear that. Keep the memories close to you! They only grow more beautiful and precious over time. c:
Such a lovely comment, thank you so much. We had a great run, but it was time for me to let it go. Better to end it when we did and go out on a high note like THIS! I still feel that way, four years later. Cheers.
Outstanding performance. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.
Thank you.
Vibe of Doors
Wow great tribute, superb sound quality, if only we had this in 1967.
Wow, thank you so much. In addition to singing lead, I also produced the video, recorded and mixed the tracks, etc., so I really appreciate that compliment. Cheers.
🕺🕺🕺👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️perfect
Sincere thanks.
Wow Jeff! I never listened to you and your band to much live but excellent job on this song! I will for sure listen to your live shows more often!
Thank you, Sue! I'm happy to hear that! We've got some great vids, posted mostly on our MrsJonesRevenge UA-cam channel. Have fun!
Excelente cover.
Bela interpretação
Magistral👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 the sound's bass is perfect
Glad you enjoy the mix.

Great performance !!! Sad to know the band is no longer performing.
Thank you, but you have to admit, 10 years is a good run by most standards for a local band.
Excellent perfomance guys in this cover version The Doors !!! Congratulations

Wow you blew me away 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯☝️💯☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️👍

Thanks, Jim! As fate would have it, we will be performing this - and other classic rock hits, live, one more time in an upcoming reunion show.
@@JeffMcNeal awesome work, greetings from Indonesian The Doors's Fans
My favorite cover of my favorite song!
That's awesome, Luiz! Thank you! It has always been one of my favorites, too, clearly! Otherwise, I wouldn't have added it to our set list!
Superbe reprise pour rendre hommage à Jim Morrison qui nous a quitté voilà 50 ans !
Wow wow wow, geez what a great night I missed.
Next time!
Good version of this song. Well done.
I love this cover 😍😍😍

Thank you!
Where was this performed? Looks nice
Lorimar Vineyards and Winery, Temecula CA. It IS a nice place. During our ten year run, it was, hands down, our favorite venue to perform.
that is so cool i love it
Thank you!
Wow
Love the voice
Thank you!
So great voice👍
Thank you! I truly loved performing this song and was really happy to bring it back to live music for the time that my band was active.
You don"t look like Jim
You don't sound like Jim
But damn!!
I don't that at all!
This sound crazy damn good!!
I hear the energy of the Doors completaly in my veins!!
Damn!!
So damn good!!
Better than all the Doors tribute bands together!!
Damn!!
I can listen to it over and over!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you, Peter. My band was never about trying to look like the more than 50 artists and bands that we covered. Our job was to come as close to reflecting the original "vibe" of the hits everyone remembers. This is just the tip of the iceberg in the nearly 10-years we were together. I hope you'll seek out some of the other songs we did. We covered 4-5 Doors songs, and so many others. Cheers and thanks for the generous praise.
Muy buen grupo todos, muy buen solo de guitarra
Thank you!
Harikasınız.
Siempre pongo esto antes de domir :))
¿Perdido en la traducción? ¿Antes de domar?
@@JeffMcNeal It means, he listen to your cover of Light my fire before going to sleep. Btw it's sad to hear your band is no longer anymore. Greetings from México City.
@@arturocazares5324 Thank you for the translation. Greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Dang! Super tight. I watch a lot of Doors cover bands on UA-cam and this is top tier.
Thanks!
Amazing!!!
Thanks!!
Dang! Excellent! 💖
Thanks Cherri!
BRA VO BRA VI !!! 👋👋👋
Perfect Doors cover.
Glad you liked it, thank you so much.
@@JeffMcNeal My pleasure. And I'm glad that I've run across your music.
Genial!!!
Excelente cover!!!
Saludos desde argentina bro!!!!
Thank you!
KEEP SINGING F0R US JEFF. BEST WISHES.❤🎧
For as long as I am able!
Good shit ✌👏👍
Thanks. You must have the shortest username on UA-cam!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well done, sir.
Thank you!
Excelente!
Thank you!
The ghost of Morrison is on a dark corner of this place laughing
Good. I hope he is/was.
@@JeffMcNeal everytime you go on stage he's with you 😉
wish i couldve heard this live
What a great compliment. Thank you.
There's still one more chance. We're having a one-time-only reunion concert on May 18, 2022 and this one is on the set list!
@@JeffMcNeal where!
@@odee9007 Same stage you see in this video. Lorimar Winery, Temecula CA
@@JeffMcNeal out in the east coast:(
Even better than the original I wonder
I like to see that the majority of the public are older people
Well, that stands to reason. They were there when this song was a huge hit in the summer of 1967 and appreciate hearing a local band perform it live. That's a rarity, these days.
Thank you for Jim
Thank YOU.
Yall you need to do a touch me or break on through next
Already gotcha covered, my man. ua-cam.com/video/0DsjSQ8YEfo/v-deo.html &: ua-cam.com/video/K7Xqm1M0d0Y/v-deo.html
Now I got to go on you page
Please do!
I really apreciaré the fact that you guys put your touch in this song and not try to be a bastard versión of the Doors... Like us 😂😂😂
Who is "us"? Got a link?
If you are out playing great music, like you are, we are for you.
Can I use this cover in a video?
I don't think I'd be comfortable with that. But thanks for asking.
Muy bueno interpretación light my fire 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰GMT22/11/20
Thank you!
It's Eddie Vender old man?
Huh?
Iban muy bien , en los primeros 2:40 min , pero en mi parte favorita si les falto un poquito , que es el extasía de la canción , pero se escucha muy bien
Thank you.
Better than the original
Of course, that's impossible, but I sure love hearing that! Thank you!
Sadly - for a wedding - OK. But - even though - still aka original Doors. Nirvana? Could be hard to play like that. But who knows. It is just a cover band : NOT a original.... Great effort guys!
me kiero casar con ellas
Ha ha ha ha.
