Damn, I would give up my life just to watch The Doors live. It must have been magical.. I hope someone invents a time machine in time. I've got like 50-60 years left on this planet.
@@julianbrowne7026 Jim liked to see intelligent people paying attention to everything he was presenting on stage, not just bodies in the crowd who are there to be entertained.
Reachin' out to Malcolm Clark and John Coupland, you've just blown my mind, guys! The electricity at that concert was tangible. I was a guest of Richard Laskie, a St Paul's school buddy, who'd invited me. His sister was there too. I think she was visiting from the States. It's appropriate that I was the school rebel. White leather belt and long hair at one of the most prestigious fee-paying schools in London, it's probably what Richard liked about me. Looking back now maybe he was my alter ego! At the concert, I probably wore an outlandish shirt and matching trousers. Richard probably had on his tan suede fringe jacket ( all the rage in those days Lol!) I remember I was standing near Richard's sister when my knees began to give way so I placed my arm on her shoulder as I collapsed to the floor. Next thing I knew I was being helped to my feet by two comrades in arms ( the revolution had already started in the early 60s with the Beatles and the Stones ( as in Rolling ). My first words were:" Is Jim alright?" I was ushered outside into the cold September air and asked if I wanted my stomach pumped and what drugs I'd taken. I said I hadn't taken any. We stood outside the Roundhouse under a dark foreboding sky as I recovered my senses. Then I was escorted back inside the venue to meet up again with Richard and his sister. The only explanation for my ordeal was that there was so much dope being smoked and other substances consumed that there was very little actual oxygen. Lol! Long live The Doors!
I was there too! Four shows in 2 days, only 5000 people per show, one of the first gigs I ever went to and still the best. The Airplane came on first, Grace Slick so understated and stood near the back - then the Doors and Jim was so opposite, so upfront, so different, he seemed possessed.
Malcolm Clark maybe it was the psychedelics they experimented with in there music, "posession", I would give almost anything to go back in time to have been there and experience that era in time. Love it! But closest I get is this at 33 years old. 😃

I think it was some sort of "acid rock trademark"... Other singers did it to: think about 'Careful with that axe Eugene' by pink floyd (same rock era). It must have been iconic (like u said) for rock bands during those times! : - O

Great Job,,, THANKS,,, RIP, Ray,,, I was Lucky enough ton Have Lunch, with Ray,,,In New Haven, CT!. What a Story Telller,could Listen to Ray for HOURS!!!! Thanks Agaimnnn 5 Thumbs Up,,, Jack
My understanding is that The Roundhouse was just that, (a railroad term). A shed/enclosure for locomotives, that had a round turntable within that would have locomotives spun around to be placed onto outer storage tracks for storage or service purposes, all under one roof. There are some iconic photos of Marc Bolan/Tyrannosaurus Rex playing onstage there, with Howard Kaylan (Turtles, Flo & Eddie, Zappa) who regularly did back-up vocal work with T. Rex. They removed the tracks and so on, but I heard there was always leftover refuse on the floor (railroad ballast/stone) from it's former days as a railroad facility. I love the fact that they repurposed something like that for a concert venue.... Kinda like the old Warehouse in New Orleans. Or the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, TX. Or the old Armory in Wilmington, DE. Cool ideas, all. 😎
Tripping Balls...Jim was tripping Big Blue Balls??!! Loved to have been there, tripping myself... Consuming every thought of the words that were being sung....damn, I'm having a flashback!! Freakin too many Dry Land Fish tonight
gives you goose bumps, his charisma while tripping off and my favorite song indeed I GLOAT over this performance not the best filming but so glad to see it, after while the sound gets better....I really tripped off naturally watching this.....
We were there and stayed for both concerts. The Roundhouse wanted to clear the hall before the second concert but a lot of us stayed. Morrison was amazing, especially his "death" after being shot (drums simulating a shooting). We also saw the Airplane in Parliament Hill Fields a day or so before the Roundhouse. Maybe 100 of us in attendance and it got rained out. Those were the days!
People seem to forget that there were 2 shows per night, but the crowd never changed, on the night I went, because after JA and Doors closedthe first show, they thought a new crowd would come in..but we never moved and when they came back out in opposite order they started with the same set. The audience let thm know pretty quick..and we got different set..was cool stqnding in the audience with some of the giants of rock n roll
W OOO WW!!! oh my gooood...it feels so personal...loving the close up, and so fortunate that you had also the sound!!! its absolutly perfect!!..ooohh I wish it never ended.. WOW thanks!!
who cares if the music is not from the same set. I`m just happy its on here. There has been no new footage of Jim Morrison for ages on yuotube. Thanks very much for posting.
Only two vocalists can make you feel like, if they wanted to, they could kill you with their voice; Morrison and Pavarotti. Happy Birthday Jim! 12/08/09!
s il vous plait arretez de critiquer!!!cette video est fabuleuse !!regardez et ecoutez et dites vous que vous avez de la chance que ca soit sur "you tube"
I didn't expect much from the camera quality since it was filmed in the late 60s, but why were they so bad at pointing the camera? Half the time it was zoomed in on Jim's hands!
❤ amo questo artista, le sue foto, i suoi filmati, sono attuali, non sembra che sia passato 50anni . Peccato che non l'hanno voluto aiutare, gli altri membri pensavano che senza jim riuscissero a fare lo stesso, illussi
E eu querendo saber, durante anos, como seria esse show em cores. E olhando pro Jim, minutos a fio, da uma sensacao inexplicavel. imagine ficar perto desse homem, a energia que emanava dele.
Que bom ler aqui em português! Sim, Felipe Cezar, é algo inexplicável a energia espiritual de Jim. Ele viveu a um só tempo o céu e o inferno dentro dele.
And here's a video that more or less confirms my memories. It seems just one performance. But notice how few people have watched this on UA-cam given the doors popularity (still. 35600). People just don't know to look or what to look for. Also anyone recording on 16mm would have run out of film pretty quickly. Anyone taping would also have run out of tape at some point, and thought "enough for posterity, now let's go with it", I think. Jim says "is someone smoking?" Damn right they were.
@PopCultureSucks very rare & authentic non polished raw rock from Mr. Venice California - where there is a big mural of him on the side of a building just off the beach.
You have to give credit to the men backing up Morrison, not knowing quite what he was going to do, or when he was going to do it. 2:00 to 3:25 is a good example of that.
To think that in the audience there were Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman,Paul McCartney and George Harrison,Davis Bowie and many more!! Here Jim and the band mates were on the top!! Jim was a true Legend!!

THERE IS ONE, ITS CALLED UA-cam
when you find one, take me with you please
I'm sure they exist, but not available for just any joe smoe.
The 60s sound like a time that shouldn't exist.
My generation Z missed out.
@Lauren You’re silly!..
Jim Morrison's screams have to be up there with James Brown and Little Richard- gives rock and roll its essence.
Morrison has the best scream in music. 🥇
.
... and the BEST VOICE in pop
or rock music. Emotional range
unlimited. Both loud and soft.
( thinking of " The Crystal Ship" )
...and sheer power.
I remember reading that Jim Morrison said those Roundhouse sets were some of the best The Doors ever performed.
He said that they were fabulous because they listened and took them seriously and reacted to the songs meaning not antics
@@julianbrowne7026 Jim liked to see intelligent people paying attention to everything he was presenting on stage, not just bodies in the crowd who are there to be entertained.
It's too bad the band didn't at least record the audio well for future folks!
@@ocoeepicture There's a documentary where the entire concert is recorderd - Doors are Opened from 1968 Roadhouse, London made by Granada TV.

UA-cam just fed me this after years of using their service. Better late than never.... Captivating stuff.
Funny during the middle section you could hear people talking in the crowd, but at 6:23-6:24 you could hear a pin drop.
