- It was in 1971 that Jim Morrison reached the summit! With 6 years of intensive career, 6 albums and 200 concerts, nothing seemed to stop the emblematic figure of the Doors.
And yet, the man we called the Dionysus of rock met a tragic end. Illustrated by numerous testimonies and archive images, we return with this report on the last days of this rock icon, consumed by the torments of a star's life.
Director: Michaëlle Gagnet
The most intelligent film about Jim Morrison yet. Thank you.
It seems old. Any idea when this was made?
@@johnsmith-wk2tb Mid-Late 2000's. Probably 2006 when as I know the french fireman returned to Jim's appartment and recreated death scene.
@@johnsmith-wk2tb 2006....and it has a few factual errors. Morrison did not suddenly meet up with 2 "unknown street musicians" while in Paris to record a spontaneous session of drunken mania. It has been revealed that the recording was done in Los Angeles in February 1969 & both Michael McClure and Paul Rothchild can be heard on the tape.
You’re probably right, but I’ve no idea when it was made. I would still like to see a more definitive and rounded documentary about JM, but this comes close, even if it is only about the last days….

Je me souviens très bien ce matin de juillet 1971, quand la mort de Jim Morrison fut connue. J'étais étudiant en immersion anglaise à l'Université York de Toronto. J'avais 20 ans. Ce fut un choc que d'apprendre cette nouvelle, puisque c'était la 3e star rock qui décédait en quelques mois à l'âge de 26 ans (Jimmy Hendrix et Janis Joplin, décédés à l'automne 1970). Cet été là, "Riders on the storm" des Doors, était un hit à la radio. En soirée, une veillée à la chandelle a été organisée en son honneur sur le campus. Ce reportage me remue encore, 53 ans plus tard...😪
Svako ko sklopi pakt sa djavolom zavrşi ovako....
alors deja c'est 27 ans pas 26
@@chinaskerie En effet, il est né en 1943, ce qui lui faisait 27 ans.
@@m.boivin8671 toute facon je viens de m'apercevoir que ce reportage est une copie. le mec a juste piqué le travail de quelqu'un d'autre juste pour se faire mousser. regarde le com que j'ai laissé. c'est pour ca que je lis pas les com.
Mon Dieu !! J'avais 6 ans et j'étais si loin de ce monde d'adultes au fin fonds de ma Provence côtière.... Sur les hauteurs de La Ciotat à m'amuser au gendarme et au voleur avec ma soeur de quatre ans mon aînée et notre voisin de trois ans mon aîné....
Et nous perdions un chanteur d'un charisme à éteindre le soleil..... Beau comme un Dieu de l'Olympe et talentueux comme un De Vinci du pop art américain... Oui ce fut un choc !! Mais je ne savais pas..... Mon innocence m'en empêchait....
This is the best and most complete documentary of what were the last months and days of Jim Morrison.
I agree with you.
I agree also. More details which look to be true! Other videos dance around the issue.
He died very similar to River Pheniox at the Viper
Its more in depth and tasteful!
La verdad un sub mundo de alcohol, drogas, contactos vendedores, consumidores un mundo surreal
Merci pour ce reportage, Jim est au Père Lachaise mais sa musique et ses poèmes sont en nous. Let's Celebrate the lizard. I am 68 yo and always listen all his songs wit emotion.
Love his music his voice it's such a shame he was a slave to his demons. Too much too young. A common phenomena in the rock n roll industry in the 70s.
Les américains réclament le corps maintenant, en échange de celui de... Joe Dassin...
I was into art from college and painted a large mural on canvas of Jim; I got compliments on how realistic it was, him looking into the audience as if he was on stage, non smiling, just deadpan. Later I moved away and left the painting in my parent's basement. I never saw it again and never asked about it. This was before his death and around 1970. I wish I had taken it with me.
I bought that at your parents yard sale 5 bucks
@@samidan91 Really?
A unique talent,creative genius,rebellious spirit,deep poetic soul and individual mystery. Popularity,money,fame was never his game. RIP JIM,RIDER OF THE STORM.
Seeing all the comments in different languages from all age groups shows you what an icon Jim Morrison was, immortal
Had a really big poster of him in my bedroom. Im 72 and still have such memories of my life then with the Doors.
Me tooooo. ❤😢
From the U.K. always remember arriving in the states in my early 20s on my first outings in California, downtown riverside. Never forget putting L.A woman on a jukebox in a dive bar, such a great feeling hearing it kick in with the base line. 😀🍺🙏 magical 😜
Break on through to the other side, yeah..
Then and now, for me.
I think every college student in that time had the same poster.
I saw the Doors in June of 1968, at the Merriweather Post Pavillion, outside of Washington DC. I was 14 years old. My dad drove me and my friend to the show and sat in the parking lot reading the paper until it was over. What a dad! A band called Earth Opera opened for them that I knew nothing about. I found out years later that David Grisman was in that band. The Doors came out and the lights went down. There was a strange smell in the air, sweeter than tobacco. That was the first time I ever smelled marijuana. Jim was still the Lizard King, clean shaven and wearing black leather. The third album had just come out and they performed the entire Celebration of the Lizard suite but he changed some of the verses, kind of like Dylan does when singing live. Jim didn't seem drunk or impaired , and didn't do all the leaping and falling down like in later years. I remember that , during the long instrumental middle part of Light My Fire, he just went to the side of the stage and waited to come back and sing the ending. That was my first rock concert. Many more came later, but I remember this one like it was yesterday. RIP Jim.
wow
What an amazing experience. You really witnessed music history.
.😢
A moving memory indeed...
You're lucky! ❤
James Douglas Morrison left this planet--
allegedly,
publicly, anyway
--not that long after I arrived, in my new Earthly body.
I never saw them perform live.
In this incarnation, anyway.
It's one of those things I wish I could have experienced.
If he has truly left his body,
may he rest in Peace, Perfection, Freedom, & Joy, for Eternity, with God.💗
I look forward to meeting him, someday, when I cross that Rainbow Bridge myself.
Meeting him & Charlie Watts, & Gram Parsons, & even Hunter S Thompson, &
Karl Marx, Mikhail Bakunin, Pyotr Kropotkin, & Eugene Debs, Leon Trotsky, & Emma Goldman, the Parsons (both of them), &
Ernesto "Che" Guevarra, Subcommandante Marcos, Fidel, Woody Guthrie, Joe Hill, & Jesus,
& my precious babies who didn't get to make it to Birth,
& seeing my Mommy again--
these are People to Whom, I look forward to (re-) meeting, when I return Home, someday.
I look forward to Reunion with my Very Best Friend, my Dearest Love, my Most Intimate Lover & Belove--
my Dear Creator
--the *_~most~_* of course. 💗
But, there are many Times, Places, People, things, & Events that I look forward to (re-) meeting & exploring,
when I'm freed from the limits of Time, Space, & the body someday.
There is much to which to look forward,
in this Life, & in The Next.❤
Inshallah.
Alhamdulilla!
Praise the Lord!
Hare Krishna!
Thank you, my dear Lord Jesus.❤
Incredible interviews. Maybe the best documentary on the final days of JM I've ever seen.
Agreed, it’s the best one I’ve seen. Only one based in France with the people who spent time with Jim those last months of his life.
Very very well done documentary. To hear the stories from John and Bill Siddons, plus, all the accounts of the various Parisians that were present during Jim's time in Paris really hammer down what might have truly happened with 'ol Jim. He never stood a chance of getting outta there alive, unfortunately. Touching to see those photos of his ma and pa at his grave in '91. Sad but such is life. He lived it!
Yeah but what a macabre verse did his parents choose for his grave? „faithful to his demons“, even if it’s true, i wouldn’t want that in the store for any of my loved ones
Which Persians? I don't recall any Persians.
@@8saltman Meant to say Parisians. Corrected.
@@Petra-R Jim's father was the one who chose that quote for which the "usual" translation is 'True to his own spirit'. I'd bet he was aiming for that.
A reference to ancient Greek poets and philosophers. I do not find it sinister but touching.
My car, which had a broken radio for years, suddenly came to life as I was driving into Limon, Colorado. The radio was playing "Riders on tbe Storm". It was quite magical as I love the Doors. I did not realize the significance the song had for the band until now.
Quel.gachis.❤❤
We were driving to Vegas from South Dakota when we nearly got caught in a Tornado. That song came on and is a very vivid memory of mine.
Morrison was a complete bullshit artist.
Immer unvergessen! Jim ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Riders on the Storm is the perfect song for the drive to Limon.
Best documentary on Jim Morrison’s death. He had an obvious gastrointestinal bleed (very bad) which probably kicked off from liver failure/cirrhosis. Alcoholism can tear you up & spit you out, same as drugs.
Alcohol, aka ethanol, is a very dangerous depressant “drug” that is sadly “glorified” in society.
Τον φάγανε ρεεεε!!!
Γιατί τον φάγανε;
Those multiple falls certainly contributed.
Well, alcohol aka ethanol is a “drug” and is legal and its drinking usage is practically “gloried” in society; tis sad all the way around.
I Agree with you.
By the time I got to see Jim, he was barely functioning on stage. I left feeling so sad, he was a mess, I had a poster on my bedroom ceiling and had wanted to see The Doors for years…he was heavy, drunk, wasted, it broke my heart…
I drogiran
Yeah, people were pretty disgusted wih the Doors there at the end, got burned on concerts a few times. But his aura has long blotted that out. He was Dionysius
I was introduced to The Doors in my 20’s, in the early ‘90’s. Bought all the albums, watched all the movies/documentaries of the time, and read biographies. I still enjoy the music and the memories associated with it.
I think it is so sad that for all of Jim Morrison's fame and money and so-called friends, no one really cared about him.
Exactly!
Like Amy Winehouse. None of them had anyone really caring for them around
I did.
You have to care for yourself ultimately
Leí, en alguna ocasión, que Morrison padecía trastorno bipolar, independientemente de su gran inteligencia. De ser cierto, no puede sorprendernos su mente "atormentada", su adicción al alcohol, y un profundo sentimiento de soledad o frustración que pudo llegar a tener. ¡Quién sabe que pasaría por su cabeza o qué sentía! Es muy triste acabar así, a una edad tan corta, y un hombre con ese genio poético y musical. 😢😢😢
Excelente documental, no conocía algunos detalles de la muerte de Jim. Triste final de este gran artista. Que no era cualquier cosa, estudio filosofía y cinematografía, era muy talentoso. Es una lastima que anduviera tan perdido en el alcohol y las drogas. Hubiera dado mucho más de su talento.
La voce narrante di questo interessante documentario è:
MERAVIGLIOSA. Grazie !!❤❤❤
I saw the doors in concert in Los Angeles and they were wonderful. Jim was beautiful. His voice was amazing. RIP JIM
So awesome . The Hollywood Bowl show?
@@SlobZombie The fabulous forum 1968.
Повезло!!! Кто видел Джима живым и поющим!!!👍👍👍
This doc was exquisitely stitched.
🦎Long live The Lizard King!👑
He was 27 years young when he rode out of earth, a mere child by today's standards. Yet, he had lived many lives by then. Many , many lives..
Correct. He returned to the massive primordial chaotic powers to which he belonged.
Right on. Their music, lyrics and art is rooted in the primordial, archaic and psychedelic…..Heart of Darkness, The Golden Bough….’heartache and the loss of God’….
@@HeathenDance yea he had something different when he performed, which is obviously why the Doors are so loved, but its hard to describe how powerful his performances were, the version of when the musics over in Europe in 68 I think hes in another dimension, and he couldn't do that all the time, every night, nobody can, its so powerful. Robbie has always said that the best performances were never recorded, and thats crazy to think
He never lived any lives! Was just drunk, if you think being an alcoholic is romantic and poetic that you haven't lived or witnessed it! He had no kids no GFS probably hardly had sex
@@dondamon4669 There's all sorts of alcoholics and all sorts of NON-alcoholics. Free spirits find an escape and a door in alcohol or drugs. It literally opens mental and spiritual receptacles. Portals to different and wider existential realms. MORE REAL. Intelligent and superior people know that "NORMAL LIFE" is an illusion, a scam. Precisely, like having "girlfriends", "kids" and even fornication is just a biological imperative. That's why stupid and inferior people are obsessed with sex and pornography. The material realm is a SCAM AND A MATRIX. And normal human beings are sheep. Music fused with alcohol is absolutely amazing. The problem is, alcohol is dangerous, and in the long term, the medicine becomes poison.
Excelente documental. Uno de los pocos que cuenta la verdadera muerte de Jim en el Rock n' Roll Circus. Jim Morrison fue alguien de gran talento pero también alguien oprimido por sus propios demonios y adicciones.
gracias genio POR REPETIR COMO LORO LO QUE YA SABEMOS TODOS Y TAMBIEN DICE EL DOCUMENTAL MIL VECES....
que haríamos sin tu sabiduría???
@@leocar9481 Silencio basura. No me interesa tu opinión.
Είμαι Έλληνας μεγάλωσα με την μουσική των Doors και γενικά της ροκ μουσικής αλλά δεν ήξερα ποτέ για την επιγραφή στα ελληνικά που έβαλαν οι γονείς του στο μνήμα του.RIP JIM 😢
yo tampoco sabía soy un fan de ARGENTINA y ese motivo hace que sea el mejor documental de Jim Morrison.!!
La traduction de cette inscription est: "Fidèle à lui-même"
As Jim would have wanted, I remember him as much a poet as a great singer. I like all The Doors albums, but the ones where Jim shone the most were Strange Days and Waiting for the Sun. His soulful voice and alluring lyrics cannot be resisted. "When the summer's gone, where will we be?"
Maybe, but he developed a great gift for syncopated staccato rhythms with his vocal delivery on LA Woman and on his live version on Who do you Love in particular
True!
Honestly, i prefer the songs that he wrote as poems; i love the first album, Strange Days, The Soft Parade and L.A. Woman. And the last one, where he was already gone, and the rest of the members rearranged his vocals in an album, An American Prayer. Especially the self-titled song, An American Prayer with the Albinoni's adagio. Pure genius, that one always touch me in a special way. Sorry for bad language, english is not my best
Every song on every album is amazing. My favorite albums are LA Woman and Morisson Hotel.
@@thekiwiclipper1113 Try "Strange Days."
Every song is amazing.
L A Woman is one of my favorite albums. I played it hundreds of times over the years. I believe it to be one of the best albums in the history of music.
Yes super album .l A
Yes I love that one but soul kitchen is my favorite
He was such a beautiful man. And had so much talent. What a tragedy.
A tad overweight.
@@matsinilsson9578what’s wrong with having a little extra weight. You feel like a tank. Instead of having a small wind knock you over all the time
I personally believe he was murdered. The u. S. Government had programs for people like Jim unfortunately.
He actually said that he preferred being bigger !
In the book he said that he felt that he had more power ! 😊
Mostly on the face at the end due to alcohol, but kinda suited him when he didn’t look wrecked. I wonder if he would have dried out if he had survived the Paris trip. I hadn’t realized until recently that he had a problem with alcohol even before the doors were formed.
Immortel, mais toujours présent malgré sa disparition tragique en 1971.
Ainda bem eu nasci 76 deu tempo pega os grandes sucesso ele sempre será o fenômeno musical viva Rock 😎
Rest in peace Jim...
Que Señor Documental , saludos desde Uruguay y un Beso al cielo para mi Idolo que lo Ame,amo y amare! viva The doors.
La vie d'un tel prodige ne pouvait pas se terminer autrement, sauf que c'était un peu tôt et c'est dommage pour l'art de la musique.
Been a huge fan of them for 30 years. I have never seen this documentary. Thank you for posting this. I really enjoyed it.
Very first concert I ever went to was the Doors, I was 13 years old. RIP Jim Morrison one of the best on stage performers in history!!
My first concert was the Doors too - in Phoenix, with my mom!!! And as I recall, very clearly, he reached into his leather pants and presented his manhood as if a gift to the audience. I was 12 and quite surprised. Phoenix banded him from ever coming back. My dad was quite upset with my mom at the breakfast table was he read the paper. My mom said, "oh Tom, it was no big deal." I thought to myself, "yes it was"! That summer we had an 8 track in the car and played that first album for a 2 day car trip through Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. At the end my dad admitted he liked it too.
Well goody for you both. Nobody cares.

Il est mort le jour de mon anniversaire. Aucun souvenir, j'étais une petite fille alors. Je n'ai su qui il était que beaucoup plus tard, durant mes etudes en Angleterre parce que des amis à moi écoutaient les Doors. Oui, clair qu'il s'est detruit ( alcool, drogue), clair qu'avant l'héroïne il avait testé la mescaline ( ecoutez " the end" et ses visions), clair aussi qu'il avait un immense talent de poète et de musicien, mais comme beaucoup de ces gens tres talentueux touchés par la grâce et trop vite par la gloire, clair également que son immense sensibilité et sa créativité l'ont rendu encore plus fragile. Son destin m'en rappelle d'autres et particulièrement celui d'Amy Winehouse. C'est la malédiction qui accompagne le génie, il semblerait. S'il n'avait pas ete aussi fêlé et fragile il n'aurait sans doute pas été aussi talentueux, il aurait vecu plus longtemps, mais il n'aurait jamais composé ce qu'il nous a laissé comme un précieux témoignage. Shouting star, etoile filante, stella cadente ( une etoile si brillante qu'elle traverse notre ciel et tombe). Comme Rimbaud qu'il aimait tant : leur oeuvre continue d'illuminer nos vies. Tres bon docu, merci.
I write this with JDM's collected works in front of me, coincidentally. Having been fascinated with his music & story since 1984, I've seen all the docs and dramatizations on this subject, and read the myriad of books on his life. I say that only to lend weight to my effusive praise for this exceptionally well done film. It's easy to get details wrong, or omit small but important pieces of info. There's very little missing here, and the people interviewed are exactly the people you'd want to have talked to (save for Pamela). The footage was excellent. I believe that alcohol was his ruin, but disloyal Pam was the source of his pain, and ultimately it was his loyalty to her that weakened him.
Was he murdered rather than died?
There is some evidence to that effect... He was, after all, considered an enemy of the State by that time. But we'll likely never know. He made himself vulnerable, at the least.
I think that his is certainly the most dramatic, romantic, tragic and mythic story in all of rock n' roll history. Really enjoyed this, thanks for posting.
amazing I haven't seen anything better thank you rest in peace Jim
Im Portuguese, european.
His grave is in France, here in europe.
I found his music, poetry... At 14. I was born in 1980, so obviously, i wasnt born when he was Alive... But he touch my soul, with his lyrics, poetry, and also the music behind.. but its so profound. Cant describe the feeling. Thank you so mutch for your existance. Genious soul person. P.s. im Gloria. He has a music with my name.
His music was pretty basic and not poetic at all
I feel your love for Jim and The Doors, i feel exactly the same; i wish that damn fool James Douglas Morrison was still alive...but, no, he had to kill himself at 27.
I am from Porto, Portugal, too, i am 70 now,and back when i was 13 or so, i heard one night on the radio a song where a guy was singing "WAITING FOR THE SUN"; i just could not believe that such a beautiful song, magical, out of this world lol, even existed, had never heard it before, and then the announcer said "waiting for the sun by the doors...;
that was all i needed, DOORS, next day i was out shopping; the rest...well i even went to America in 1980 as a tourist for 1 month, and ended up staying there for 18 years; my 2 daughters born there, (been here since young;);
The song Gloria must be about someone special he met, that's for sure
GLORIA, song by The Doors
Did you hear about my baby? She come around
She come round here, the head to the ground
Come round here just about midnight
She makes me feel so good, make me feel all right
She come round my street, now
She come to my house and
Knock upon my door
Climbing up my stairs, one, two
Come on baby
Here she is in my room, oh boy
Hey what's your name?
How old are you?
Where'd you go to school?
Aha, yeah
Aha, yeah
Ah, ah yeah, ah yeah
Oh aha, mmm

....,
Best Morrison documentary I've seen. Outstanding
Great doc! I heard recently that his first love Mary Werbelow had passed away in 2022 or 2023.
Le corps de Jim n'a jamais été transféré, il est et restera au père lachaise, et la tombe est entretenue par des fans sous autorisation de la direction du cimetière.
I first heard the Doors, break on through, when I was 18. It changed my life. Their story fascinated me for years. Shadows in the trees, witnessing the Wild breeze, come on baby run with me...
Super dokument, je mi 45 let a teprv jsem začal poslouchat The Doors, mám doma cca 600 CD jiné hudby, ale The Doors jsem okusil až letos:)
Mental illness strike the wealthy and artistic just as hard or harder than any. I always felt Mr. Morrison was on a different plane than the rest of us. As a lukewarm fan in my teens I never appreciated his music as much as I do now. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 36. It was sad when he passed away far too young; but his struggles were over and he is now at peace. 🌹
Jim had a very high IQ. A lot of people with high IQ’s have mental illness. He used drugs and alcohol to soothe the pain. Back then they didn’t know about these things. Poor guy.
i had my doors phase as a teen and 20something. in my mid 40s now and it isnt until just recently i can get his lyrics. as a youngster you like the sound or melody. but jim was a very old soul (if he in fact wrote his lyrics?)
Amen on both counts.💗
The first time I saw Jim Morrison in leather pants was at Steve Paul’s ‘The Scene’ in NYC. Quite memorable in a small west side club in midtown.
Is that during the trip to The Factory? Poor Jim!
So he was in the water all night..found dead at 6... "rescued" at 9h20... and the water was warm... that all makes sens...
It was July in Paris with no air conditioning and a body that was still likely warmer than room temperature. So water could easily be 80 degrees F.
I had exactly the same thought. Even in a hot summer in the south of Spain, after 3 hours the water would be cold or less than tepid. I was waiting for a slip up like this. 27:00 (he got in the bath at 3am(ish) and was visited by the emergency team at nine thirty, around 6 hours later.) Hmmm
Said at the 27 min mark....same as his age of death.
As the saying goes, "Life is short and desires are endless," I believe that maybe Jim Morrison is still aspiring for music and fulfilling his dreams. Through Jim's stage, I became interested in the invisible world. He was not just an attractive artist, but a wizard who broke the boundaries between life and death and connected the new world. His songs, which project a lot of religious significance and magic, are very ironic. Sometimes you might say that his stage is aggressive and violent, but inside Jim Morrison's songs are peaceful and comforting.
About twenty years ago, I spent a few days listening only to Dylan and the Doors, and I realized how much more love there is in Jim's lyrics than in Dylan's. This is interesting. I suspect Dylan would have jettisoned the destructive Pam Courson pretty early on. Jim, on the other hand, though as unfaithful to Pam as she was to him, was a romantic.
People believe cardiac arrest is the cause of Jim Morrison's death, but more accurately, he is believed to have died of heart valve disease after contracting the drug-induced virus in a state of no antibody resistance in the body, or having a pathogenic immune system.

very best documentary about the very last days of Jim Morrison. I surely would like to be able to travel back and forth through time .
Jim live in controversy and die in controversy but he was one of the best singers of his time he will live forever miss you Jim 😢
A fuga da realidade o fez perder o rumo da vida. Carências e sofrimentos, mas a música foi o seu melhor caminho. Saudades de um grandioso cantor.
Excellent documentary. The guys "... in dark clothes " that took him out of the club were hired. The woman that was there is unafraid to speak after all these years.
Jim screwed up, and was a mess at that point anyway. The truth comes out after many years as most people have passed on.
It was announced on the scoreboard at Shea Stadium during the Humble Pie/Grand Funk Railroad concert in NYC in between acts.
A hush came over the crowd.
A sad ending to a brilliant poet/ performer. It happens everyday with Fentanyl to people now. But they're not famous. Some don't even know they're taking it. But their friends and family do afterward.😔
The more details I get I don't like Pamela. She was there in Paris pursuing her love interest shooting smack with him on Jim's dime. That's where her idea to go to Paris came from. Jim probably knew but didn't make too much about it. When he got mad at Pamela he just probably thought she is just one of many and nothing really to get upset about. When the time came she could be replaced. She knew it too. He loved her though. Had he lived their relationship would have been over before mid decade.
Been listening to humble pie
He was an with a alcoholic with mental illness most
Likely, coupled with codependency. That isn't love.
Yes, he was most certainly a very creative poet and performer. However, he needed help like all other addicts and people with mental illness. It is tragic that back when he lived there weren't the resources available like we have today.
Agreed. But even with proper help and professionals today? You can keep one from themselves. Free Will can destroy you.
@@angelasanchez4413 yes. Unfortunately he was an emotional defendant of Pam. You don't need drugs for that but for Jim it was one of the reasons for that dependency and Pam took advantage of it where she could. It was Jim's weakness and she exploited it. Look at myself at that age. I didn't have the confidence in myself or in my communication like Jim had. But I wasn't on drugs and emotionally dependent on someone else. Had some weaknesses and faults at that age. All of us do. Part of being human. How they differ is some can be fatal. Unfortunately for Jim his weaknesses at his young age proved to be fatal.
Je suis fan de toi Morrison et je ne manque jamais de te rendre hommage en allant sur ta tombe au cimetière du père lachaise à chaque fois que je me rends à Paris
I grew up listening to the doors. I got hooked on their music when I was about 10. This is definitely the best documentary I’ve seen. Now it makes sense about his death. The person who touched the bath water and said it was warm. Warm water had to be added before people arrived because Pamela said that she saw him in the tub at night before she went to bed. The water should’ve been cold in the morning.i believe he was taken from the nightclub,back into his apartment. The club was scared of being closed down. And the dealers were shitting bricks. Jim was in poor health but listening to what other eyewitnesses have said. An autopsy should’ve been performed. I know some people will say,it doesn’t matter now. Well it matters because it’s not just a documentary. Listening to my favorite band and reading Jim’s poetry. Gives me a better idea on what really happen. R.I.P Ray And Jim.
the doc should have noted that if his death was at 5 then around 8 or 9 the water should have been cold.
and yes, now i know Pam lied her ass of bc she knew she would be the one to blame since she was the one who started with heroine.
yeah, i wondered the same; how was that water warm at 30ºC. the man said, at 5AM...
I think you nailed it. Good point.
Legends can't just fade away...they must be carried for all time.
Définitivement magique , mystique, sublime et mystique. Le roi lézard et ses potes font partie de ma vie, je les écoute tout le temps.
Quelle tragédie pour cet homme qui voulait se défaire de ses démons et c est retrouvé dans un cercle de personnes où circulait la drogue. Beaucoup de choses cachés, profits de son argent. Je ne comprends pourquoi la famille n a pas fait une demande d autopsie sachant que cet enterrement a été fait à la va vite, sans prêtre, surprenant ! Je pense que Jim Morisson devrait avoir une cérémonie digne de sa popularité encore aujourd'hui. Toutes mes pensées à cet homme et qu il retrouve la paix 🙏
❤ Jim Morrison
So agree❤😢
Why? He was just a drunk.
C'est vraiment triste et choquant de ce dire que peut-être aurait-il pu être sauvé ?! Mais au lieu de s'occuper de Jim ces sois disant amis n'ont chercher qu'à couvrir leurs fesses !! Celà me révolte 🤬🤬. R.I.P Jim Morrison ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for making this video. I have read a lot of books regarding Jim Morrison. Unfortunately, drugs and alcohol got him.
I was at his grave in 76 when I made my first trip to Paris at the age of 20. My favorite till today is "Alabama Song". But I love too "Riders On The Storm" and "When The Music's Over"! He was a Genius! Outstanding documentary!❤
th other Doors were just as much, if not more responsible for the musical successes of the band.
Excelente documental. No pude evitar emocionarme y soltar lagrimas a la memoria de un genio. Gracias...
A beautiful man, a beautiful voice. Sad.
What? me worry.

Well he shouldn't have snorted a massive line of heroin, thinking it was coke. Bit daft really.
Probably the coolest frontman ever. Rip Jim. Legend.
Un poète c’est indéniable !
La mélancolie qui m’accompagne en permanence ballote entre cette musique incroyable des Doors, la vie déchirée de Morrison et la spiritualité de El Gazali.
Thank you. This is the French sub titled doc that I thought had been lost forever. It’s now in English. 😊❤️🇬🇧
I was 12 in 1972 huge doors fan, there were so many great bands and songs seemingly coming out everyday, Jim was horrified at the idea of going to prison, I think that was the main reason for his downfall, the booze and obviously, but that really scared him, he probably imagined what it'd be like for a rockstar in prison back then
I was 10
How they described his one drink; drinking problem. The liquor was poisoned; just as it is today. A form of meat tenderizer is being blended in with the liquor at the distributor/manufacturer level.
I respect his parents for the epitaph. They were not trying to spin a different tale about their famous son. They said the truth quite simply.
To his demons... Sounds to me , way more alike his " things" that weren't good for him . I'm surprised they even had that enscripted. I'm a long time Morrison follower and he influenced my poetry, and music. I've heard the bar death in the stall story since way back. I wish I knew the answer. But to me , Pam got him into H. Nuff said. A great artist lost. Rest in peace James Douglas Morrison.🔥
@joemars41 Are you minimizing Jim's addiction? He was very talented and very troubled. He made his own choices too.
TA PAMELA TO BYLA OKROPNA KOBIETA. CPALA RAZEM Z NIM . ZAMIAST O NIEGO ZADBAC@@joemars41

Jim Morrison was and still is an iconic spirit had a wonderful voice
Vidéo passionnante à regarder qui me fait prendre conscience que le démon des addictions est le plus dur à vaincre de tous.
My daughter passed away in August of 2023, very much the same way Jim did. When I called her residence, she was already blue. Pulmonary failure was obvious. I personally sang like Jim Morrison, or so I was told when I was singing before he died. I, too, am a published poet, and I understood Jim much more after reading his poetry works. Jim just flew too close to the sun.
Hello friend, how does one get published?
@@MichaelDarker SERIOUSLY?!
Ironically, I was traveling across country for a month with my parents and we probably were in California at the end of June 1971 visiting relatives near L.A.. Didn't know The Doors at the time. However, quite easily, they would become my favorite band. Remarkably, I was only seven years old, but I sensed the warmth and the looseness (and even coolness) of the hippie generation even then; and eventually, we headed to El Paso, Texas and then back to Philly. Much later, obviously, I thought of myself pretty much as a 'writer' even though I had other identities, and I wrote a book of Transcendentalist poetry called Seeking and a collection of short stories called Soul Kitchen. Wonder where I got that title from?????
Jim Morrison's father was an important Navy Admiral, he was one of the key figures in the Vietnam War.
That was the problem; Jim never had a father that was present, he was always away; they barely spoke, the father did not even know that the sun was a singer,until too late, after he was dead.
I didn’t know this. Wow. No wonder. He truly was his own man.
@@josepeixoto3384it's normal if you grew up in autoritarian family, you became an anti-autoritaran.
Jim est indémodable et sa musique restera toujours c est une légende 🤩🌹🥰
Super! Deutsche Erklärung unter einem tollen, interessanten Bericht, DANKE! Faszinierende Persönlichkeit muss er gewesen sein..RIP!

Los genios no exsisten y no hay qe admirar a nadie yo también veo todo muy diferente y estoy vivo y no soy más qe este comentario
@@pablofrediani2348Los genios claro que existen y Jim era uno de ellos... La mayoría no lo son, si todos lo fueran no habría diferencia entre la gente que deja huella (como Morrison) y la que vive vidas corrientes.
@@sergioestevez8326As vzs é melhor ser anônimo... Percebe- se claramente que este ser humano, estrela do Rock para o mundo, estava doente e sofria imensamente... Isto nada tem de genialidade e sim de um jovem q se perdeu... O que adianta ser famoso até hoje?! Onde ele está de verdade agora? Deixou fama e riqueza, mas é ele? O q ele levou?

I'm a huge fan of Morrison, so much so Ive stayed in his old motel room, added to the memories on the wall, hit all his old stomping grounds in L.A and got his autograph tattooed on me. I liked the doors ofcourse but I love Jim more.
❤
Beautiful ❤️
Ur hot, hey i kinda look like Jim and im a singer/guitarist, 👍😘
beautiful; best of luck to you from,also, a GREAT admirer of THE DOORS, back home in Portugal now
He was so gorgeous and hugely talented. No one could wear leather pants like Jim Morrison 😍
RIP Jim!! He was so talented!! A great singer!! Such a tragic end!! Such an interesting story!! Thank you so much!! Love Riders on the storm!! Great song!! On too soon!! 😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Lizard king...vera leggenda immortale......Immortal poem! Per sempre nei nostri cuori ❤👑🦎🌹 talento immortale!
Sí... El otro dia pusieron en la tele Spanish Caravan del Waiting for the sun y que alegria , pues hacia mucho tiempo que no los escuchaba ... Yo pasé de Beatles , Rolling ,Mamas & Papas etc. A The Doors hasta LA.Woman , sin tacha alguna ... Jim Morrison cantante y poeta The Best . ❤
I was 14 in 71. My father wouldnt let me watch the news of jims death, nor Joplins, nor the Manson news, as we lived in no. Hollywood and family in the music industry...i guess my family thought they could hide the darksides, while promoting to me the Joining the Industry, as was my planned destiny
I ran away from there at 16, not to return for 6 years, no one knew where i was. My dad said, " I thought you joined a cult, and died or something"
So, what were you doing? 😊
There's nothing to hide !!.. he kicked it.. from the age of 9 I saw so much death growing up in NYC.. glad no one hid anything from us
Nunca debio haber partido, extraordinario artista, leyenda viva por siempre, claro esta para los que sabemos de musica.
I don't take Pamela's account as the truth. RIP Jim Morrison. Thank you for your thoughts, music and poetry.🙌
Hey fellow Americans, he was born in December 1943. He’s only a few months younger than president Joe Biden. He’d be 80 now..
Can we really imagine Jim at 80 years old?!
Nope. Forever young in our memories.
80 yers? I didn't know his age.
In fact in our memories he will be young for eternity.. RIP Pam & Jim
@@sgwinc7644 yep. Without googling it I believe he’s December 30 or 31 . Like 2 months younger than Biden.
I thought he was living as a cowboy?
Are you saying Biden is Jim Morrison ???
Biden looks more like a corpse then Jim Morrison
Been a Doors fan for almost 50 years. What a sad ending for Jim, he was a depressed and very sick person. What a waste of talent.
Не думаю, что он был больным человеком. Пессимист это информированный оптимист. Таким был Джими
Pane KAŽDÝ FEŤÁK JE NAVŽDY NEMOCNÝ člověk!!! Umírá každým dnem bez feťácké dávky! The Doors mám ráda! Jim svým feťáctvím kapelu zničil! Nemohli se na jeho osobu spolehnout! Nahrávání,koncerty, nasmlouvané kontrakty! Muzika byla, je a bude byznys! V azbuce vám nehodlám odpovídat! Je mi jedno jestli jste Rus nebo z UA!
@@Серега-ь6лvelmi se omlouvám,popletla jsem adresy až na azbuku,což je chyba z mé strany, za názory stojím!
Not depressed at all. Alain Ronay his friend in Paris lived with him in Rue Beautruills almost all june 1971, and he denied that stuff about "depressed Jim who wanted to die". Morrison died cause he went too far that night in RnRoll Circus, and his heart just stopped.
waste of talent? he did 6 albums man show some love
So totally aweful that no one in his family were advised of his death. Where was his family...just so sad all around!
Merci Jim pour ta musique, ta poésie, ton émotion...comme nous tou(te)s tu est mort,mais dans le cœur des gens simples, tu es vivant
My dad was in the US NAVY with Jim Morrisons dad. His dad was an admiral as was my dad. I was born in 1972. My dad is in a lot of books about the doors and my dad told me that Jims dad was proud of him but kinda embarassed at the same time. RIP JIM and Dad!
That’s awesome that your dad knew his. I guess he didn’t know that Jim was a singer and artist. Might be why he was embarrassed. Idk. Just wish Jim knew his own dad and had that relationship.
Pas vrai ! Ils se parlaient plus du tout depuis le genre de chansons laxistes et la drogue !
Jim's image at about 18:56, literally gave me deep goose bumps 😭😭
Grazie!
Documentario meraviglioso 🤩
Fantastic documentary! Thank you!
Jim Morrison loves this Paris city very well that he was buried at the famous cemetery 🪦🪦🪦 that today's still stands by fans all over the world....
The doors will be his famous band forever....
People are strangers were one of his real outcome songs...
Thank you for this documentary. You are appreciated
He was a great singer. May he rest in peace...As he visited Morocco. He found him self. really. Unfortunately he didn't make it to stay alive.
In 1998 I went to Pere Lachaise on a rainy day, weak from food poisoning the night before. The Morrison family had had Jim's actual body moved to an anonymous tomb but I wanted to see the place of pilgrimage. I couldn't find it. Pere Lachaise is a virtual city of the dead. I wandered around, unable to sit down for the puddles of water. Exhausted, leaning against a tomb, I looked up to see between my outstretched fingers a graffito: "Where the f*ck ARE you, Jim?"..... Eventually I found it. There was nothing left of all the tokens left by adulation, the statues and flowers, nothing but a puddle of water with a cigarette butt floating in it. He lives in his legacy. Thanks for this excellent documentary.
I went there in 1993 and the tomb was still there, with the statue and various trinkets. I didn’t know that five years later it no longer existed.
Im confused by this because I was there in 2000 and his resting place was clearly marked by tokens but the figurehead was missing. Still clearly his graveside though
The way it should be!
When I visited his grave my impression was all over graffiti on his tombstone. He was greatly loved forever.
Rubbish
Amazing clip, thank you. Jim was like a few of us, totally different but an amazing fucking brilliant fucking human fucking being. I'm still there, 74 years old
Un buen documental, verdaderamente informativo.
Yo tenía 17 años cuando me enteré de la muerte de Jim, estaba con mi hermano de 19 años. Se organizo un recital especial en su honor en el programa "Vibraciones" de Radio Capital en la Ciudad de México. Estábamos en el automóvil de mi hermano, era de noche y nos fuimos a buscar a unos amigos, estábamos conmocionados, mientras seguíamos escuchando la radio.
Uno de los amigos que encontramos sacó un "toque" de marihuana y así nos concentramos en escuchar la música de The Doors en esa noche llena de nostalgia.
Por qué Jim te dejaste morir así ?
Por qué no te cuidaste ?
Por qué nos dejaste tan pronto ?
Eso me preguntaba en ese momento.
Y lloré aquella noche de julio de 1971.
Rest in peace, great man! Eternal memory to you, Jim! Thanks to the authors of the channel for interesting facts. 🙏🙏🙏
What a fascinating guy in such a fascinating time.
I’m fascinated with Jim/The Doors. 1960s is an era that intrigues yet absolutely terrifies me for some inexplicable reason.
💯
I remember Jim growing up in Melbourne Florida he lived right around the corner from me..His Dad was very strict hardcore military..He went over to his grandmother's back and forth back and forth his Dad hated his long hair he wanted him to join the military..Very intelligent kid..Before leaving Florida he was born and raised in Melbourne Florida he should have been buried in Melbourne Florida..RIP-Jim..🎼🎶🎤🎙🎚
If Morrison were alive I would ask him, Jim in the song waiting for the sun, what do you mean when you said ; " This is that strangest life I ever known?
Is it because you were able to remember all your past lives?
Thank you Morrison for all your songs and poems that you left us.
Morrison was perhaps privvy to esoteric knowledge?
@@salvadorpicasso1503 many artists are seers, that's where their gifts come from.
@@ChantePierce-kp3uf Yes I agree But they are all so, quite often from a chosen.
Because Jim thought it was a good lyric. He had no past lives, only a great imagination.
WAITING FOR THE SUN was the first song i ever heard from the Doors, in 1968 or so; after that....i heard and sang them all; all beautifully crafted and sung!!!
