Hard to truly wrap my head around the fact that they did ALL that they did in less than 6 years. He is unquestionably one of the best rock singers there will ever be.
Robby wrote many of their best songs, one of the last things it says about jim in the book "no body here gets out alive", is that jim felt Robby didn't get enough credit so shame on you! Lol
Jimbo Thompson Firstly, that’s completely subjective. Secondly, Robbie had most written influence on The Soft Parade which is their most criticised album. At least provide some substance to back up your arbitrary outburst, so shame on you. Robbie does deserve a lot of credit, he also wrote Light My Fire, but to randomly assert that my comment wasn’t showing enough respect... think about who is/isn’t alive and the context/structure of my comment.
@@Sparkes669 i think you're taking this whole TH-cam thing a lil too seriously, i was jus messin with you... He wrote alot more than that, indian summer, love her madly, Roadhouse blues to name a few, he was actually the main catalyst for songwriting in the band, and it is true about jim, he didnt like how it was all goin down, him being treated like a rockstar and not being taken serious as poet, which u probably know, he was tired of it all and it was one of the last things he told ray, amongst other complaints that Robby didn't get enough credit, I was jus reflecting a lil sarcasm in favor of jim and those who know Robby was probably more important than ray, even though he's thought of as the second most important "door", Robby was quite the integral member, light my fire was the one that puttem on the map and their biggest hit and soft parade is fuckin great
In high school ('84 - '88) I was a huge Doors fan and bought this as a bootleg and was floored at how sincere this sounded (which is not to suggest anything the Doors did was insincere). Without the orchestration, as a crafted piece of music the song makes such beautiful sense in the way it's melodies flow together, absolutely hypnotic. I remember thinking when I first heard this "wow, imagine what this would've been like in a quiet, dimly light nightclub - like 'End of the Night'."
Thanks so much for posting this. This is one of my favourite songs and I've never seen this video before. No one in this band was a slouch, that's for sure. Jim got all the press with his antics but the other guys are fine musicians. Jim's gift for writing and that beautiful voice will live on. I am grateful.
I bought tickets for a Doors show around 1969 at the San Diego Sports Arena. The place was packed to the back wall. Jim came out, sat on a stool and read a short poem and then left. . that was it. . nothing more. The people were not upset. It was though they were just happy to see him for a few minutes. Strange times.
Magic risin' Sun is shinin' deep beneath the sea But not enough for you and me and sunshine Love to hear the wind cry .. Absolute genius. The subtlety of Jim's lyrics are brilliant. How Morrison cleverly interjects two different scenarios based on few lines; he uses "you and me" in correspondence with both the previous line and following word: "sunshine" - a true song writer and poet.
Thanks for posting an all-too-unfamiliar to too many song by, IMO, the best group (group, as ONE), ever. Always liked this song, and Morrison sounds great.
Even with the pressure jim was under when this was being filmed its still a great performance, one of rocks greatest voices and one of the worlds best bands. In a 100 years time people will still be in awe of this band. The End.
I like the album version, but I love this one live. The Doors is my favorite band of all time and I have many I adore. No band had a combo organist that also had a singer of near crooning style, a guitarist that could paint landscapes and a drummer from jazz heaven. I can't think of any can you? At least none where they were all excellent writers and players.
I feel so robbed, such talent wasted, Miss your music Jim, you were the best. I don't do magic sky stuff, I know you are just dead, you were one of the best, well off to listen to phoenix, sigh
I was fortunate to be young when the country. . all the young people were united with the same message. . Woodstock, etc. It was an amazing time that we were living through and we didn't even appreciate it until now that we are older.
One of the Best songs of The Doors..specially in this version LIVE..I just love it 'cause U can Hear more alive John's drumming rather than the Studio version...Is just great!
I love this video--whatever state of mind he's in--if he's under the influence, so to speak, I don't care. He was a massively talented young man, way way beyond his years and generation. More like a troubador or a shaman of sorts in a suspended time and place of such creativity and originality. Whatever haunted his soul, comes through everything he does--he's mesmerizing and worth respecting at least in his talent and his presence on stage.
@UCkLw83yWi8bH-akxhvTgyCw a. you were happy to reply 11 years later b. why do you consider pointing out that someone has a hangover as “trashing them”? you must know by now that Jim had a drinking problem. it’s ancient history and common knowledge. why so precious man?
@@dualityofman1253 why so hostile over a comment? i personally find it comforting to know people are still listening to the same music or watching the same videos. jim was known to be an alcoholic, that doesn’t diminish his talent in the slightest, or count as trashing him.
@markrogen Believe me, I do agree with you on this--he may not have been a 'conventional' voice, but man, you hear him and you KNOW who it is! 'Riders on the Storm' always haunted me when Id hear on the radio, usually late at night. His voice had a way of grabbing my attention. :) As for insults, I don't think even he'd mind honest interpretations of his life and work--as long as it wasn't deliberately facetious. His personality --the classic Sagittarian/Opiuchus was very intellectual.
I think this illustrates that the song works quite well without the orchestration provided on the LP ("Soft Parade"), which garnered nothing but rebukes from the critics. Why they were slammed for including orchestration on their "Soft Parade" LP has always baffled me. Other groups were doing it. Why pick on The Doors? It never made sense.
+Thor Odinson You're right. But the vampire-caught-in-sunlight critical response is just the same old same old tedious 'rockist' mindset which has always had epileptic fits at anything which dares step outside of the incredibly dull set of 'rock' rules. Those being, in the main, that anything drawing influence outside of blues, folk, R&B and country is automatically inferior. Also, by '69, most of the top tier groups had abandoned their crazy and often brilliant '66/'67 experiments which incorporated virtually every known instrument to man, including symphony orchestras, and were now towing the dull rockist line. Even the Beatles joked about it when they too followed suit, grinning about 'no overdubs'. When the Doors bucked the trend by getting 'orchestral' in the midst of the fucking boring back-to-basics-rock-n-roll roots scene a year or so 'late', the critical reaction was merciless.
Even with the extra noise its still a great album. Maybe not as good as the next. But certainly very solid and experimental. A creative band like the doors needs to step out of the boundaries in order to make good music. Thats what theor first album was all about. Stepping out of the "normal" established rock and roll sound. I think lots of people saw the doors as some sort of vanguardist hippie psycodelic band. So they never forgave them for moving away from that genre. They felt that by abandoning their original style they were selling out. I guess people back then werent ready for the Doors.
What's really something is the difference in Jim from the live performance of 'Touch Me' on December 6, 1968 to this performance in April. It's crazy what 4 months can do to someone...
One man once told me when he was a kid that he waited for jim Morrison to show up at a auto shop to pick up his VW but jim never showed for hours. So he got tired of waiting and went home, but luckily his father was still there and got a autograph by Jim himself on a wishful sinful 45 vinyl record. I would have waited day n night.
You notice when Jim says sinful for the first time, the tape slows down and acts strange lol. As if God is bleeping it out, saying 'not sinful, don't worry bout it dude'.... 😄
I'll never forget the time Jim got his boot stuck in the fence lol! They found it the next morning after the break-in into the studio but they didn't have a clue; except for the boot lol. I knew and he knew lol. Too funny. Jim was larger than life even in life. Just one of many examples. He was hilarious. That part of his personality isn't conveyed enough.
This from a PBS special aired in 1969, is it not? I believe they did live sets and interviews in-between songs, I must admit, as much as I hate the Soft Parade album, I do like this live version of Wishful Sinful. a lot.
People like to insult Jim Morrison at this point of time in his short life but he sings with so much soul here. Is there any comparison to his genius in this day and age??

Yep the creative Renaissance of the '60s

This song is a masterpiece, one of my favorite songs by the band.
What an incredible voice.
THis is one of my favourite Doors songs. Relatively unknown, but a hidden gem.
me too
I like how the lyrics unfold like a butterfly. A masterpiece
Not one of the most known the DOORS' songs, but one of the best ones. 😍👍
RIP geniuses Jim and Ray. The Doors, the greatest band of all time.
and john and robbie :)
After Black Sabbath, that's my favorite band!!!

Absolutely amazing. The Doors are the greatest of all time.
Pure poetry by a real poet accompanied by unique musicians.
In high school ('84 - '88) I was a huge Doors fan and bought this as a bootleg and was floored at how sincere this sounded (which is not to suggest anything the Doors did was insincere).

check out the 50th anniversary deluxe edition of the album which includes “doors only” tracks
I really like John's jazz influenced drumming on this song, he's so underrated.
It's the poetry man, it's the music , this group has it all.
I love how Jim really gets into the music and feels it. Thats how I feel.
All four of them were geniuses 🔥

It is very much stuck in my head.

Sun is shinin' deep beneath the sea
But not enough for you and me and sunshine
Love to hear the wind cry ..

Darius Sparkes the song was written by robby, not Jim ahha
This might be the most hauntingly beautiful Doors song of all.
Thanks for posting an all-too-unfamiliar to too many song by, IMO, the best group (group, as ONE), ever. Always liked this song, and Morrison sounds great.
Regardless of Jim's condition during this beautiful rendition, I still treasure it. Sigh.....
@D. Alex Hutchinson i agree!
His conditions fine, slightly fat and hairy, his voice matured around this time and only got better
Even with the pressure jim was under when this was being filmed its still a great performance, one of rocks greatest voices and one of the worlds best bands. In a 100 years time people will still be in awe of this band. The End.
been a fan for 40 years and only recently this number became one of my favorites...
The doors will always be my #1 rock group.

Happy birthday genius Jim Morrison, wish you was here to celebrate it. :(
fantastic song.
this music was beautifully written by Krieger, he is the best, he rocks, i love his work so deeply i could die for it
Thanks you Jim, for giving us a great voice and wonderful lyrics.
The beard does not seem to hurt his singing. No. 1 singer for ever!
Never get tired of hearing that voice!
I feel so robbed, such talent wasted, Miss your music Jim, you were the best. I don't do magic sky stuff, I know you are just dead, you were one of the best, well off to listen to phoenix, sigh
no bass player... that Manzarek was a genious

This is the best version ever of Wishful Sinful. RIP JIM & RAY.
...this is a beautiful version..... I love the sadness in the face of Jim at 1:45 ...He was empty at that point :´(
So beautiful and so incredible..
got to love Ray playing on this TV show, he's amazing!
One of the Best songs of The Doors..specially in this version LIVE..I just love it 'cause U can Hear more alive John's drumming rather than the Studio version...Is just great!

Pure art
Amo essa musica, belíssima canção.
this song is so poetic..it totally relax me...
Jim looks beautiful in this. Rest In Peace, 41 years to the this day
50 year's now!
OMG! THANK YOU FOR THIS LONG LOST VIDEO!
Great playlist of oeof the geatest bands of all-time! JIM = One of the most charismatic, enigmatic, sexiest, most talented RN'R frontmen of all-time!

gotta love the doors and their psychrdelic music
I have a dvd of this whole performance and the interviews. It's a really good dvd.
What a great VHS 👍🏻♥️
how come such elaborate melodies never show up on these singing shows like the voice or xfactor
itnow THAT'S A GOOD THING.
I'm glad they're not showing up on such kind of shows.

Because the Doors never needed the extra noise, proven here. They already had the biggest, best, tightest sound.

It's so nice to see Ray using the Vox in a post-1967 setting
Amazing
I love you Jim! You're the best!
I Love The Doors Performance at PBS Show..a ll the Songs are Great! Specially this one..
at 1:48 the music is unreal. I love the sound of it and it just fits with Jim's sad look.
What's really something is the difference in Jim from the live performance of 'Touch Me' on December 6, 1968 to this performance in April. It's crazy what 4 months can do to someone...
the amount of acid./
Actually I think it was more Jim trying to escape the image the media created of him: Of being this sex god/rock star.
jim,ray,we miss you both terribly.hope we ll met there
This song was too quiet so I decided to blast it! Awesome song!
or you could keep on living and listen many more times to this great tune :))
i m in my 30's, but still this band and this song brings back memories from my own lil life lol
for me the soft parade is the album that i like the most, underrated album
One man once told me when he was a kid that he waited for jim Morrison to show up at a auto shop to pick up his VW but jim never showed for hours.

Such a great live representation of the studio recording.
Ray's part @1:23 encapsulates the sound of The Doors so well. I love that part.
@generationaluv
Kreiger wrote it if im not mistaken
A song about depression
I can't help but laugh at the thought of Wil Ferrel being Jim Morrison. Morrison is iconic.
"love to hear the wind cry.........love might hear you crying" love that line....
This is from the PBS TV special. They also did several other songs including Tell All The People and The Soft Parade. 1969
My 1st love in Music at 11 yrs old...been to Jims resting place in pere lachaise cemetary..Paris
You notice when Jim says sinful for the first time, the tape slows down and acts strange lol. As if God is bleeping it out, saying 'not sinful, don't worry bout it dude'.... 😄
Trippy..Getting flashbacks from the lyrics and beat...fun,fun,fun &more fun...
Beautiful Doors ballad.

Yes it is man. Lyrics like this are rare today.
Very Underrated band.....1000 times better than the stones at that time
It is beautiful!
I'm amazed how Ray Manzarek could play both bass and keyboard at the same time. The Doors never had bass guitar player until "L A Woman."
Underrated sweet Robby
amazing song !
yes, thanks for sharing A'M.
