Ray Manzarek, man, that dude could play some keyboards. The fact that these 4 guys came together at just the right time....man the universe is one crazy awesome SOB
I come from the 60s and have always loved Jim Morrison for his unpredictability on stage. He was a revolutionary, and rebellious. Unfortunately, as was so often the case, he died young. RIP Jim.
That was the get super high days. I think he was one of the" 27 club". Artist that died @ age 27. This song was 🔥 then and still is 🔥. And he was fineeee!
The name of the band was taken from an Aldous Huxley book "The Doors of Perception" which Jim had read, Huxley him self took it from a William Blake poem "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear as it is, infinite".
I love this because it's the original version of the song most people don't know that this song is really 21 minutes long I have the original album one of the greatest rock and rock bands ever rest in peace Jim Morris
Jim Morrison was the best in his hey day because he was my favorite lead singer of the 60's and the doors was my late dad's favorite group and now I continued the legacy to listen to the doors just like my late dad did it his hey day
British author Aldous Huxley's 1950's autobiography "The Doors of Perception" which dealt with the writer's experience with mescaline was the inspiration for the band's name. Perfect for a psychedelic rock band! I Love The Doors!!!
William Blake - 'If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees... This was the inspiration for the name. Jim Morrison was a poet.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite." -- William Blake. The name of the band comes from Aldous Huxley's book THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION and that title came from the Blake quote.
The band’s name arose from a quote by William Blake in his book, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” They were going to name themselves “The Doors of Perception,” but decided to shorten it. “The Doors” sounds like a cool name and it has an intriguing meaning. You have no idea what a multi-dimensional rabbit hole you’ve stepped into here with The Doors! You don’t need to understand them; you just need to feel them. "Release control. We're breaking through." OH, MY!! I GOTTA GO!! I'm Late! I'm late! I'm very, very late!
The Doors were an exceptionally talented and eccentric group. The late Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist, wrote this song. I saw a UA-cam video where he explained the intricacies of composing this masterpiece. He used many musical influences including J.S. Bach. He was a genius at musical theory, and he met the singer, Jim Morrison while the attended UCLA. Jim Morrison's primary interest was writing until Ray Manzarek influenced him to become a rock singer. Robby Kreiger, the guitarist, was a flamenco (Spanish) guitarist until he joined the Doors. The drummer, John Densmore, was a jazz drummer until he joined the Doors. Robby and John still jam in the LA area. This was a fascinating melding of great talent! Jim Morrison was buried in Paris at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in 1971. My wife and I visited Paris last year (my first time) and I made a point to see Jim Morrison's grave while we were there (it is not easy to find!).
If I remember correctly, the lyrics were mostly written by Robbie Krieger with Jim Morrison finishing it off; typically - Jim added the bit about the "funeral pyre" !
I did not now he died at 27. They heart failure. There is a thing called 27 club fames people seemed to die at that age. When I think of the band i all ways think of this song. Thanks Ola i love your accent i don't recognize it it's sweet.❤😊
Jim Morrison was a rock god. Still is. They are obviously unique in every way and were incomparable live. I hope you go down this particular rabbit hole - it is worth it!!
Que épocas, que genios existieron , The Doors un grupo impresionante , todos sus integrantes con Jim Morrison a la cabeza ; dando cátedra de talento . Lo bueno jamás se olvida.
Glad you appreciate their musicianship and especially the drummer, John Densmore, a very accomplished drummer who had lots of jazz influence in his drumming. The name Doors came from an autobiographical book, ‘Doors of Perception,’ by the famous author Aldous Huxley who recounts in it his experiences with psychedelics and its mystical insights. So many great Doors songs to react to such as "The End", "Crystal Ship" "Touch Me" and the epic "Riders on the Storm".
The name of the band "The Doors" is a shortening of the name of a book "The Doors of Perception" by Aldus Huxley. Jim was first and foremost a poet, his singing was secondary in his mind. You also have to know that when the band formed and for a couple more years LSD was still legal and they partook of it liberally. It is where some of the lyrics get their very vivid imagery but it all still turns back into the song as good poetry does. You would almost have to go back to the 'Beat' poets of the late 50's and earliest 60's to connect to the poetic styles.
Jim was usually high when he performed. He would often take acid. Once he talked drummer John Densmore into taking acid before going on stage and Densmore had so much difficulty playing that he never did it again.
Jim Morrison was a member of the 27 Club which are the rock stars who passed away at the age of 27. The 27 Club also included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and I believe Brian Jones the guitarist from the Rolling Stones. I think Amy Whinehouse is also in the club now. It is obviously not a club anyone wants to join.
Jim , the singer , isn’t sad per se he’s stoned out of his mind as usual 😂😂😂😂 There is a good movie about Jim Morrison and the Doors made in the nineties. Stars Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan It’s called The Doors and maybe react to it as a bio picture ❤❤❤❤❤
Olavity, this song is unusual for The limited role Jim plays. It's really more a showcase of the band's instrumental talents. But almost any other song of theirs you try, you will realize Jim's vocals are the centerpiece of the Doors' music. Dramatic case in point? Try "Riders on the Storm." 😊
Yes Jim Morrison joined the 27 club. Like Janis Joplin and so many others has done. Listen to Riders on the storm, by the doors. There are also a movie about Jim Morrison, check that out.
It’s well documented by Ray & John who found Morrison in a hotel hiding under the bed heavily tripping on LSD 2 hours before the start of the show So the entire concert he is flying high but keeps it together well for the entire show
Hello Olavity, I am a 65 year old Musician and I like when you react to music I know 😁RIP Singer Jim Morrison & Keyboardist Ray Manzarek and Guitarist Robby Krieger is 78
The studio version is something... you have to listen to it. You will be not be disappointed. Jim Morrison is a legend for his magnetism. You just can't ignore it. Of course, Jim had to sing very demanding songs, without all the modern gimnicks. He wasn't a machine.
Riders of the Storm! A great song from the Doors! Great band! I learned a lot about him from the movie, The Doors! They were a bit before my time but their music never dies! Love ur reactions! ❤
More DOORS ! Please do ROADHOUSE BLUES studio version and LA WOMAN and RIDERS ON THE STORM and LOVE ME TWO TIMES .................THE DOORS meaning :he Doors of Perception is an autobiographical book written by Aldous Huxley. Published in 1954, it elaborates on his psychedelic experience under the influence of mescaline in May 1953. Huxley recalls the insights he experienced
Hi Ola, this brings back so many memories. My Dad and uncle used to sing this when we went on camping trips. Unfortunately, they both had terrible voices. 😩 Jim Morrison was a pretty strange dude, but he was extremely talented. He passed away in 1971. An autopsy was not performed, so the cause of his death was never confirmed, though many people believe it was a drug overdose. After Morrison's death, Manzarek and Krieger took over the lead vocals.
He had congestive heart failure but that was very likely due to excessive drug use. Something similar happened to Andy Gibb (from previous cocaine use) whose heart was weakened as a result and he died from myocarditis, a heart inflammation caused by a virus that most people would survive.
HA Hi Olavity! Welcome To The World Of **The Lizard King** truly **Hope** ya **Enjoy** the **Ride** & To me anyway this band is definitely one LOTS of people MUST have **Experienced** whilst under some kind of **Influence** heh so yea just keep that in mind when listening to them heh AND even without any substances this band can put ya in a **Trance** **PixieHugz&LuvzALL** **RockON!!!**
I have seen many versions of this, but never this one. It's chill for sure, but not the dynamic and killer song it can be. It's long, far longer than the one that got them kicked off of Ed Sullivan's guest list. His voice does not seem strong here. But you did say you liked it. Check out the LA Woman Album
Touch me, should be your next song. 1 of there best & my fav. don’t do live songs for the Doors, They are boring & or Jim is out of it. Listen to album versions. To think that Jim was only 27 when he died, is amazing. He lived a full life in 27 yrs. 1 crazy dude!!! He’s high as a kite in this video/pretty much always. 🤷♂️😂
Sadly one of my favorite groups, never sounded as good (voice wise) in concert as they did in the studio… and yeah I know those of you that saw them live, and were high, rocked out and thought it was the best, lol… Check out the studio version
This live version isn't all that great. If you want to hear a longer and more animated version, where Jim belts it out: ua-cam.com/video/Zu-DT3Ietcs/v-deo.htmlsi=EP6Xln8WmKGOEDLS
Mick Jagger was in the front row and Jim's girlfriend was sitting on his lap. Jim was not too happy about that but in this he smiles at her. It is pretty bad other than Ray the organ player and John the drummer. Robby had issues with his amp and they were playing outdoors so he was pissed off. The Doors paid a fortune to self finance this show to be filmed and sad to say while it looks great it is lackluster. There tour of Europe early the same year, 68, was far better but in black and white. They also had major issues with Jim's mic cutting out and had to fly in vocals from other shows to fix it. While very cool not what I would recommend to a new fan.
I was waiting for the moment that you would notice how handsome he was, you didn't disappoint!!🤣
Me to😂
Her: He is cute but why he sad?
Jim: Im stone dear😂
Light My Fire was a huge hit and made Jim Morrison a superstar. They have many great songs.
Classic song written by Robbie Kreiger (guitarist)!!..
Ray Manzarek, man, that dude could play some keyboards. The fact that these 4 guys came together at just the right time....man the universe is one crazy awesome SOB
Manzarek is my muse, my goal..if only I could be 1/20 Manzarek! My Korg is waiting!
He was clearly stoned off his face here. He was usually so clean but this was garbage.
I love how Ola says "Chill". It sounds so sexy with her accent.
After they played this song on the Ed Sullivan Show they were banned from ever coming back. Morrisons response was 'we already did that show '.
Ray Manzarek was a great keyboard player. He played both the bass parts and organ parts together...
Jim Morrison was a poet. There is a book of his poems that was published.
More than one book...
Jim Morrison is a drunken buffoon posing as a poet. Give me the Guess Who. They have the courage to BE drunken buffoons, which MAKES them poetic. 😜😂
I come from the 60s and have always loved Jim Morrison for his unpredictability on stage. He was a revolutionary, and rebellious. Unfortunately, as was so often the case, he died young. RIP Jim.
The other members of the band didn't know until the show was over that Jim the singer had dropped LSD before going in stage
I think this is the show from the Hollywood Bowl where Jim was so stoned they almost had to cancel
listen to when the music is over
one of my favourites tracks
That was the get super high days. I think he was one of the" 27 club". Artist that died @ age 27. This song was 🔥 then and still is 🔥. And he was fineeee!
I think Robbie is underrated as a guitar player. He should get more attention.

Ok, Now that's TOO SWEET 😎🤘🏾🤘🏾

Hi Olavity. Just love your smile, laugh and the way you react to this video /song fair play keep up the good reactions ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💓💓💓💓💓🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jim Morrison was the best in his hey day because he was my favorite lead singer of the 60's and the doors was my late dad's favorite group and now I continued the legacy to listen to the doors just like my late dad did it his hey day
The Doors have 3 kinds of songs...
Long, psychedelic, deep
Short, pop/rock
Blues
They have MANY great songs.
British author Aldous Huxley's 1950's autobiography "The Doors of Perception" which dealt with the writer's experience with mescaline was the inspiration for the band's name. Perfect for a psychedelic rock band! I Love The Doors!!!
Mr. Mojo Risin, there is an old saying "if Rock & Roll has a secret morrison is the only Rockstar that knows that".
I'm so proud of you reacting for so much old and great bands. Claps 👏👏👏
William Blake - 'If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees... This was the inspiration for the name. Jim Morrison was a poet.
Ótimo
Se as portas da percepção fossem abertas. Tudo aparece como o homem e, infinito...
William Black

OH, MY!! I GOTTA GO!! I'm Late! I'm late! I'm very, very late!
As high as all of them were during this concert, Jim was HIGH AF! Still did an amazing job of performing.
Raw talent
There are things that are known, and there are things that are unknown. And in between are The Doors.
So many great Doors songs. I recommend the LA Woman video next. A bit different but it will give you an idea of the journey these guys went on.
The Doors were an exceptionally talented and eccentric group. The late Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist, wrote this song.

They're all 'chill', because they're high, as was much of the audience, frankly 😉😆It was the sixties after all!
William Blake - 'If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.
Love your review and I know the doors themselves would have loved it
Loved your reaction. Can't wait for you to listen to more from The Doors. ❤
I find it extremely hard to believe she has never heard of the doors
a lot of American girls of the day thought so!!
Glad you appreciate their musicianship and especially the drummer, John Densmore, a very accomplished drummer who had lots of jazz influence in his drumming.

You would almost have to go back to the 'Beat' poets of the late 50's and earliest 60's to connect to the poetic styles.
To paraphrase William Blake -
We will awake when the doors of perception are opened.
Peace on earth.
A band you should review from the 60's and 70's is Steppenwolf. They provided the sound track to the Easy Rider film. You will love the hairstyles!
Olavity. They were so chill as say because they were probably of their heads on shall we say external infernal influences
You're very chill...
My favourite Doors song is "People are strange". 👍
Jim was usually high when he performed. He would often take acid. Once he talked drummer John Densmore into taking acid before going on stage and Densmore had so much difficulty playing that he never did it again.
Jim Morrison was a member of the 27 Club which are the rock stars who passed away at the age of 27.

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana,sadly, is also a member of the 27 club😢
@@leannmiller7153 Yes, I thought Kurt Cobain might also be a member but I wasn’t sure.
And Pigpen from the Grateful Dead.
Nice reaction. They have so many good songs. Try LA woman. i believe there last song that they did together.
My favorite Band growing up. Stay with the 1st album and go with - Break On Through
I am 48 years young.😊 As a young boy, i just opened the "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" and... they are still open. BREAK ON THROUGH!❤
I wanna too..But..The Doors..Listening, hearing and.. Alone... Above.."There are things known, and things unknown, and between are... the doors"
Bangerrr🔥🔥🙏🏽
Densmore, is giving the cues for the changes.
Jim , the singer , isn’t sad per se he’s stoned out of his mind as usual 😂😂😂😂
There is a good movie about Jim Morrison and the Doors made in the nineties. Stars Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan
It’s called The Doors and maybe react to it as a bio picture ❤❤❤❤❤
That movie was shit 😡.
You gotta check out their song “Riders On The Storm”.
Olavity, this song is unusual for The limited role Jim plays. It's really more a showcase of the band's instrumental talents.

Jim part of the 27 club with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Amy Winehouse.
Classic Jim....Extremely shy and stoned. Gone way to soon.
Yes Jim Morrison joined the 27 club. Like Janis Joplin and so many others has done. Listen to Riders on the storm, by the doors. There are also a movie about Jim Morrison, check that out.
More Doors!!! I suggest Roadhouse Blues...
The full studio version of this is so much better.
It’s well documented by Ray & John who found Morrison in a hotel hiding under the bed heavily tripping on LSD 2 hours before the start of the show
So the entire concert he is flying high but keeps it together well for the entire show
That was at the whisky performance.

Is the uncut version of Gloria available anywhere?
Jim dropped acid before the show. He’s tripping balls here. Still sings well.
Enjoyed your reaction. Check out song called roadhouse blues.
The entire song is a drum solo :)
You could always watch the movie THE DOORS starring starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison
Listen to Dazed and confused by Led Zeppelin, but the studio version
Jim dropped acid before this show.
I was wondering through this whole performance if Jim wasn’t probably stoned/high at the time, cuz he’s soooo MELLOW.😉
