Rest in peace Jame Douglas Morrison, surrounded by poets, writers and artists. He belongs to that cementery. He was a poet, philosopher, visionary and a genius.
I climbed over that fence and placed a rose plant on Jim's grave on 10/9/13 even though I'm 62 with two bad hips and had a bone spur in my left heel. Being there was unbelievably moving as a lifelong Doors fan. Pere Lachaise is a beautiful and surprisingly uncreepy cemetery. There's beautiful statues and gardens everywhere, cobblestone paths lined with ancient chestnut trees. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance at the crest of a hill near George Bizet's grave (not from Jim's grave unfortunately). Jim's grave is a bit sad, neglected. It's tucked behind a large crypt. Fans do come by in a steady stream daily and leave flowers, notes, votive candles. It began to rain as we stood there, very moving. I sensed his presence there, I really did. RIP, Jim. you were one of the Truly Great.
tiamia1134 Somehow someway I must pay my respects to Jim. I'm only 38. I purchased "Strange Days" in the summer of 1993. I've been trying to break through ever since.
I was there in 2014. There was a fence but it was detached at the corners, making it easy to slip through. Lots of good people seem to stop by there every day to pay their respects... I wish they kept it a little cleaner, but there are lots of good intentions in the people who do visit.
y. age is a bitch. but a stone is not them either. we're all 1 conciousness. nothing else makes sense. just a projection of 1 single sea of conciousness. can't exist and then not exit. going from non-existance into existance the back again. there must be duality for any of that to occur. as there is life and death. it's a loop
@@OpaqueVisions47 ah yes a average youtube hate bot comment. yes i think you are a bot who is programmed to type in idiotic hate messages that make no sense.
RIP Jim and Ray. You both changed music and our lives. This video is proof that death will never stop the Doors. They will be around forever. The proof of that fact is when you listen and watch this. People crying at the sight of the Doors together again, even decades after Jim left us.
Reading this comment made me tear up. And I'm being 100% serious too. Everything you said is true. All of it. What a difference between the musical talent back then vs today's musical "talent". RIP Jim. RIP Ray.
Their music was so unique and sounds just as great today as it did when I saw them in the late 60's. These were TRUE artists, the real deal. Ray and Jim were highly intelligent, well read intellectuals (Rimbaud, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kafka to name just a few). Jim's favorite pastime was reading. He devoured books - good books. Every time I listen to their music, I hear something new. The Doors are timeless.
I was in the audience in Frankfurt Germany, 1969 (?) I'd never seen anything like the Doors. Morrison had an electric, magnetic presence, they all shared it, but Jim was a fountainhead. The music swirled through the auditorium like gods arriving on thunderclouds, prophesy and Dionysius. 45 years later, I remember that night.
+Sharon George I guess it really was more about shamanism than strictly music...and that explains why they didn't produce anything noticeable after Jim departed
I saw them twice and I know exactly what you mean. Jim had amazing charisma, intelligence and showmanship - the greatest front man ever (Jagger is the only one who comes close). Jim made sure the audience left mesmerized. Ray and Jim committed themselves that momentous afternoon on Venice Beach to creating a rock group like no other - and they succeeded. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and The Doors were one of a kind. There will never be another group like them. No other group came close then and, 50 years later, none has come close since. The Doors are in a uniquely elevated class all their own. RIP Jim and Ray knowing that your legendary genius lives on.
The Doors were one of the few bands where each band member is absolutely indispensable.Without any one individual it doesn’t work. Most bands could go on after losing a guitarist, drummer or bassist and still be “The Rolling Stones” or “Pink Floyd”. With the Doors, everyone was essential for what they brought to the sound, the musical style, the songwriting, and the look.
So glad that i was being alone when i came to visit Jim's grave few years ago, too much people there, even if i would have loved to see Ray and Robby but still, it was more peaceful and quiet when i was there, being alone in this beautiful cemetery, with all these famous writers/poets that Jim loved so much was kind of intense, while relaxing at the same time, could feel something special, can't explain what, plus i was lucky to have an amazing sun that day, that was perfect and that'll stay a great memory...
I've never known or seen this but I've listened to many Manzerik interviews and felt his ability to light up a room just with his charisma and zest for life, even he being gone casts a long shadow on those who remain, light went out in the World but on goes Light My Fire, eternally!
so the first thing I did straight away after arriving to Paris, was visiting Jim Morrison's grave at Père Lachaise. The atmosphere in that place it's unique... indescribable, amazing.
I went with my daughter in 2013 and had a bone spur on my left heel, but rolled my 62 year old self over the low metal fence and put a rose plant on his grave and said a few words - and at that very moment, the fog turned to rain. You know, Jim was a big practical joker. My daughter couldn't believe it because I had told her that morning before we left our apt. in Montmartre that I "hoped it rained when we visited Jim." We had been at Pere Lachaise walking in a thick fog for nearly 3 hours by the time we got to Jim's grave. We both felt his energy there and a plain-clothed guard overheard us and said they see his spirit all the time.
Phoebe Dowling If you're ever in Paris, stop by Pere Lachaise and say "Hi" to Jim. It is the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen and some day my ashes will be strewn there. It is the PERFECT resting place for Jim's restless soul. His spirit is palpable.
it's 2013 and I for some reason am playing all of the The DOOR's music and loving it even more .. am uncovering and watching Jim's interviews.. and watching this video has brought sadness in my heart .. what he had was fearlessness .. he blazed an unmarked trail .. I feel a kindred spirit to his .. the same never tamed spirit and somewhere never one of the clan .. so seeing him in his videos gives my spirit a kind of relief .. I like to say I'm his little sister *
He was one of a kind. His father finally realized his son's talent too late and eventually flew to Paris with Jim's mother to pay homage to him. The Greek epitaph they had carved on a new headstone for Jim's grave essentially says that Jim followed his own spirit. He had that poet's soul, he was a depressive and drank himself to death. He died far too young.
Sad to think these were Ray's last days, he was a great and humble man, probably the most humble rock star and certainly one of the most well spoken, educated men in music. But truly humble! RIP Ray and Jim, God bless.
I was at the roller-skating rink that night in 1971 when JM passed. I remember learning about his death from a girl who came into the skating rink and she was crying and upset. I was 12 and she was probably around the same age. Just one of those deaths that you remember where you were when you heard about it.
So agree with you! They were there to pay respects, take some photos and there she is sneaking up behind. I was so glad that Ray ignored her not once but twice. You could tell by Robbie face that he felt awkward.
As much as i would have wanted one of their autographs,no way would i have asked DIRECTLY behind Jim"s headstone!! (or even ANYwhere in the cemetery,for that matter) This is so sad.I am glad it just ended as i finish this comment.Peace.RIP Jim and Ray.
I made the pilgrimage in 2016 on a 18 hour layover to Paris . Was my first stop . Rest in Power Jim and Ray. Thank you for the inspiration . I remember listening to The End when I was 16 years old and it’s what made me decide to go West. The west is the best , get here and we’ll do the rest .
...carissimo Ray...e chi se lo scorda + l'intro di Light my fire...ha segnato un'epoca gloriosa...Jim, con gli occhi chiusi e i suoi aderentissimi pants di pelle, interpreta, perso in un suo trip, le sfide, le angosce, le irrequietezze, le proteste, le trasgressioni di noi appena adolescenti...e chi vi scorda +...Peace and Love forever a Ray e al Re Lucertola....grazie x essere esistiti.... avete sfondato Le Porte delle nostre vite !!!!!!
Saw Ray and Michael McClure in Portsmouth NH on April 24th, 2010. Amazing show from the front row center. Just an awe inspiring performance. I feel fortunate to have seen and spoken to them at the book signing after the show. Take care Michael and Ray and thankyou.
...Millions of fans have visited Jim's grave and here they get the extra bonus of seeing Ray and Robbie,two bandmates and also two guys who loved Jim Morrison!
I feel bad for Ray and Robbie. The media and fans made it difficult to visit their friend "Mojo Risin" Jim Morrison. Something I will add to my bucket list. Visit the all time great rock legend Jim Morrison 🎸 🎶
Well I'm pretty sure that was publicly announced somehow. It was after all the 40th anniversary of Jim's death so you'd have to expect people to be there especially knowing that those two were coming. If they really wanted to do a quietly they should have come on a weekday that was not an anniversary without telling anybody.
Two great guys from a great band honoring he memory of their friend and bandmate Jim Morrison. I wish Jim could have grown old with these fine men and I miss him very much as an entertainer....RIP Jim
These two guys were literally on Jim's doorstep indeed...probably were pleading Jim to be their ferryman. Ray Manzarek was as important as Morrison for that unique Doors sound.And for spotting Jim's charisma.
Jim's family should have his remains brought back to the Venice California area. That's where he had his inspiration , start & success. How many of us have the time & money to go to Paris, The Doors are and always will be from America.
No, he WANTED to be buried at Pere Lachaise. He told his friend Alain Ronay when they were standing in front of Oscar Wilde's grave there that "THIS" was where he wanted to be buried. All his favorite writers - Oscar Wilde was one of them - are buried there. Jim was an intellectual and prolific writer - Pere Lachaise is the perfect and most fitting place for him. He hated the phoniness of L.A. That's why he was so pissed off at Ray and Robbie for selling out The Doors for some dippy car commercial. Densmore was the only one who understood this - and he did NOT sell out. Props to him! At his heart, Jim Morrison was an artist.
Tia Mia he said, she said, they said, we said, I said , you said....unless it was specifically WRITTEN in his will , people can say whatever they want . Doesn't mean its a fact or truth. Some people who do serious drugs ( believe it or not) are not in their right mind and might say or do anything irrational. ( like kill themselves) Plus, do you think a dead person would really get upset where he is buried ? lol They're dead. And what if Jim is now saying ; CRAP ! I hate being buried in a city full of frogs !
Quinton, OMG man. "dead person...get upset where he is buried"..."city full of frogs"...Where do you come up with this stuff? What are you smoking? Alain Ronay, who was a very close friend of Jim's and who Jim spent his last day on earth with quoted what Jim told him as they stood in front of Oscar Wilde's grave. Jim said "Alain, this place is so f-ing beautiful. THIS is where I want to be buried! Please make sure I am buried here." He wasn't dead, knucklehead, but he did die a month or so later - and Alain kept his promise. Why are you name-calling Parisians? Paris is the most beautiful city on earth and Pere Lachaise is a very beautiful, elegant and historic cemetery - the most famous one in France. Thousands of famous artists, writers, statesmen, musicians, dancers, actors/actresses and Great Thinkers are buried there. The City of Paris is VERY discriminating about who can be buried there. Trust me, they'd never let you in. However, some day my ashes will be scattered there. Can't think of a more beautiful place to spend eternity. Vive la France!
Tia Mia maybe they both were tripping and two strangers walked by saying; "wow man. this place is really beautiful. this is where I want to be buried." So, if it's NOT WRITTEN DOWN FOR THE RECORD, ANYONE CAN SAY ANYTHING THEY LIKE . you have a fragile eggshell mind !
Sadly, Ray passed away less than 2 years later in neighbouring Germany, where he was taken to get special treatment for his Bile Duct Cancer. He died from complications of this disease.
Avevo 17 anni nell'agosto del 1985 sono andato lì anch'io a trovare jim,ci sono stato con lo spirito libero e un gran peso infondo al cuore, con il rammarico di non poterlo vedere ancora.Invece sono rattristato dai due doors presenti in questo video,jim se lo sarebbe aspettato da loro e non avrebbe condiviso questa triste pubblicità,JIM i DOORS SEI TU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went there in 2012. Also saw his apartment at l7 Rue Beautreillis and basically walked in Jims footsteps to his favorite park in the area, pubs and sitting along the Siene. Loved every minute.
Wow Great video - very cool that Robbie and Ray really went back to their past and resolved / dealt with everything and documented the songs and made videos
Só quem é fã sabe o poder dessas imagens. Me deu um misto de sentimentos, ver esses caras. É de arrepiar! Nossa... como o mundo é louco. I love guys, I love the Doors, , I love Jim. Thank you!
I was at Jim’s grave in April 1982. Ate acid, smoked weed and partied with at least 100 people from around the world. One of the coolest days of my life.
It's sad that the Morrison statue was defaced. I can't stand when people come on youtube just to write rude comments. Jim is at peace. Thanks for sharing this footage.
I like Ray's fence shirt. RIP Jim and Ray. Forever brothers! Both live on through the Doors music as well as all the other art they wrote, created and produced.
Manzarek was the best rock organist ever. Nothing against Wakeman or other greats, but Manzarek understood the soul of rock roll and the time. Light My Fire was his perfect canvas, and even as he changed it from performance to performance, it was the ultimate bhava of its genre. I never met you , but part of me just departed. We all have the music.
Strangely, my favourite memory of Paris was walking around the cemetery on my own,waiting for my girlfriend to come out of work. My grandmother had recently passed and it seemed like a natural place to visit. I happened upon the graves of Oscar Wilde, Chopin and Jim. A boring afternoon transformed by the greatness of others.
I agree with you Mary, was this a sincere visit to an old friend, or was it some kind of publicity stunt to attract attention to themselves four decades after? Anyway, Jim is gone, now so is Ray, may God have them both under his mantle where they can finally rest forever. I had the pleasure of meeting both Ray and Robbie when I was working for Virgin Records in L.A. and I must say it will always be one of the highlights of my life. Merry Xmas to all you rockers and music/poetry loving people out there everywhere. Time//Peace, NeoGeo//Guadalajara Mexico XXX.
Have you noticed that security girl that worked her way across the fence and around the tombstones to get Ray Manzarek’s attention for an autograph? That was really impolite...man! Especially, during such an important ceremony like that, while these guys are paying their respects to Jim. She was even bold enough to ask him twice, for his signature and he refused to sign her little piece of paper. I’m so glad that he taught her a good lesson.
He had a great sense of humor. I think he was more than likely laughing his ass off at that lady crying and carrying on like that. Geez, give it a rest, lady!
You don't know that, you fucking peasant!!! You know NOTHING about how Jim would've reacted. He threw parties all the time. Why would he hate just another party???
I bought tickets for the Doors in 1966 but mistakenly showed up a week late! Ugh. Later saw Robby Krieger and his son live in Durango Colorado. A real treat. I think the ghost of Jim was there that night.
“The future is uncertain but the end is always near” - Jim Morrison
"LET IT ROLL BABY ROLL"
Roadhouse Blues is my favorite music and the Doors os my favorite band.
This is the End my only friend the End!
Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song.
Pretty little girl with a red dress on, poor Otis dead and gone.
"I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer,
The future is uncertain AND the end is always near." Roadhouse blues indeed.
the future's uncertain and the end is always near..., alright, alright, ALRIGHT!
Rest in peace Jame Douglas Morrison, surrounded by poets, writers and artists. He belongs to that cementery. He was a poet, philosopher, visionary and a genius.
he came and went too soon
Rockstar entertainer to me still deserves to be there..it's an honor to rest in this cemetery..not many guys make it
I like him too but he was none of those
@JRT nohe was not
He was a musical poetic genius global icon
I climbed over that fence and placed a rose plant on Jim's grave on 10/9/13 even though I'm 62 with two bad hips and had a bone spur in my left heel. Being there was unbelievably moving as a lifelong Doors fan. Pere Lachaise is a beautiful and surprisingly uncreepy cemetery. There's beautiful statues and gardens everywhere, cobblestone paths lined with ancient chestnut trees. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance at the crest of a hill near George Bizet's grave (not from Jim's grave unfortunately). Jim's grave is a bit sad, neglected. It's tucked behind a large crypt. Fans do come by in a steady stream daily and leave flowers, notes, votive candles. It began to rain as we stood there, very moving. I sensed his presence there, I really did. RIP, Jim. you were one of the Truly Great.
There was no fence when I was there in 95.
It's a shame they have to have the fence, I guess it's to prevent vandalism to the crypts around him. I heard they have a guard there now too.
tiamia1134 Somehow someway I must pay my respects to Jim. I'm only 38. I purchased "Strange Days" in the summer of 1993. I've been trying to break through ever since.
I was there in 2014. There was a fence but it was detached at the corners, making it easy to slip through. Lots of good people seem to stop by there every day to pay their respects... I wish they kept it a little cleaner, but there are lots of good intentions in the people who do visit.

Leave them alone, let them have some time with their fallen brother.
They seemed quite okay with the attention.
Yes exactly. This sort of irritates me
Stfu, they seem just fine.
40 years later they are still devastated.
They could have made arrangements to see the grave alone, or visited without announcement, but this is the way they wanted it.
I was at Jim grave in October 1989. Sad to think he was there but his spirit is liberated and actually lives amongst us. Love from Dublin city
RIP Jim and Ray.
You both changed music and our lives.

Pretty amazing piece of footage. They both seem to be at ease about the whole thing. I love the sense of brevity.
The French sound very emotional. That woman said Oh, Robby, while sobbing. It's actually kind of sweet.

The asking for an autograph at the gravesite was pretty bad by what I assume to be a security guard? Pretty low.

sold on ebay the day after

RIP, RAY. Thanks for your music. I'm very very fan of Doors, from Brazil.
So sad Ray joined Morrison less than two years after this
that's all I can think about in this video..
He just went home. See ya in the next one RM.
Thanks for sharing this! I love Robby's ASPCA shirt along with his Seal Team cap.
Nice to see that Robby supports the ASPCA.

Great footage, priceless. The band back together one last time.
I am glad I visited in 1999 without all this chaos. Much more meaningful.
You went to a grave that bears no remains whatsoever of Morrison; or never did. Does that compel any dumbfoundedness?

...Millions of fans have visited Jim's grave and here they get the extra bonus of seeing Ray and Robbie,two bandmates and also two guys who loved Jim Morrison!
I feel bad for Ray and Robbie. The media and fans made it difficult to visit their friend "Mojo Risin" Jim Morrison. Something I will add to my bucket list. Visit the all time great rock legend Jim Morrison 🎸 🎶
Well I'm pretty sure that was publicly announced somehow. It was after all the 40th anniversary of Jim's death so you'd have to expect people to be there especially knowing that those two were coming. If they really wanted to do a quietly they should have come on a weekday that was not an anniversary without telling anybody.
You literally just said “the fans ruined it” then announced you’re going to go and do exactly the same thing ...
Ray Was Truly A Good Friend To Jim And Robbie Too.
Ray snubbed that female security twice when she tried to get his autograph...classic....love it
Two great guys from a great band honoring he memory of their friend and bandmate Jim Morrison. I wish Jim could have grown old with these fine men and I miss him very much as an entertainer....RIP Jim
These two guys were literally on Jim's doorstep indeed...probably were pleading Jim to be their ferryman. Ray Manzarek was as important as Morrison for that unique Doors sound.And for spotting Jim's charisma.
Yes, true about Ray. But the Doors were about much more than sound.
thank you for these pictures.
Wonder why John is not with them. An unforgettable band. RIP Jim and Ray.
Visited in July of '85....what a magical place!
Paris is magical, but Pere Lachaise has an energy and mystery all its own. Some day, far from now I hope, my ashes will be scattered there.
Parabéns amigos de verdade......Brasil
Olha um brasileiro aqui...vc tbm é fã do The Doors?
I was there on Oct 5th, 2013.RIP Jim!!!!!
Jim's family should have his remains brought back to the Venice California area. That's where he had his inspiration , start & success. How many of us have the time & money to go to Paris, The Doors are and always will be from America.
No, he WANTED to be buried at Pere Lachaise. He told his friend Alain Ronay when they were standing in front of Oscar Wilde's grave there that "THIS" was where he wanted to be buried. All his favorite writers - Oscar Wilde was one of them - are buried there. Jim was an intellectual and prolific writer - Pere Lachaise is the perfect and most fitting place for him. He hated the phoniness of L.A. That's why he was so pissed off at Ray and Robbie for selling out The Doors for some dippy car commercial. Densmore was the only one who understood this - and he did NOT sell out. Props to him! At his heart, Jim Morrison was an artist.
Tia Mia
he said, she said, they said, we said, I said , you said....unless it was specifically WRITTEN in his will , people can say whatever they want . Doesn't mean its a fact or truth. Some people who do serious drugs ( believe it or not) are not in their right mind and might say or do anything irrational.
( like kill themselves)
Plus, do you think a dead person would really get upset where he is buried ?
lol They're dead.
And what if Jim is now saying ; CRAP ! I hate being buried in a city full of frogs !
Quinton, OMG man. "dead person...get upset where he is buried"..."city full of frogs"...Where do you come up with this stuff? What are you smoking? Alain Ronay, who was a very close friend of Jim's and who Jim spent his last day on earth with quoted what Jim told him as they stood in front of Oscar Wilde's grave. Jim said "Alain, this place is so f-ing beautiful. THIS is where I want to be buried! Please make sure I am buried here." He wasn't dead, knucklehead, but he did die a month or so later - and Alain kept his promise. Why are you name-calling Parisians? Paris is the most beautiful city on earth and Pere Lachaise is a very beautiful, elegant and historic cemetery - the most famous one in France. Thousands of famous artists, writers, statesmen, musicians, dancers, actors/actresses and Great Thinkers are buried there. The City of Paris is VERY discriminating about who can be buried there. Trust me, they'd never let you in. However, some day my ashes will be scattered there. Can't think of a more beautiful place to spend eternity. Vive la France!
Tia Mia maybe they both were tripping and two strangers walked by saying; "wow man. this place is really beautiful. this is where I want to be buried." So, if it's NOT WRITTEN DOWN FOR THE RECORD, ANYONE CAN SAY ANYTHING THEY LIKE .
you have a fragile eggshell mind !
I think you're tripping, dude.
It was a celebration of Jim Morrison,these people came to enjoy the legend that was Jim Morrison.R.I.P
Damn, ray was dead a yr later, DAMN,
Well, 2yrs later. But yeah, rip
Sadly, Ray passed away less than 2 years later in neighbouring Germany, where he was taken to get special treatment for his Bile Duct Cancer. He died from complications of this disease.
Rip jim grande non ti dimenticheremo mai🥰🥰🥰🎸🎸🙌🙌🇱🇷🇱🇷♥️♥️
Avevo 17 anni nell'agosto del 1985 sono andato lì anch'io a trovare jim,ci sono stato con lo spirito libero e un gran peso infondo al cuore, con il rammarico di non poterlo vedere ancora.Invece sono rattristato dai due doors presenti in questo video,jim se lo sarebbe aspettato da loro e non avrebbe condiviso questa triste pubblicità,JIM i DOORS SEI TU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would place a whiskey bottle next to his grave. 🤘
Why? Isn't Jim working third shift as a stocker at Wal-Mart in Kalamazoo?
@Mary Piotti probably not...but who knows???
???
@@jaylight944 He was given the nickname by the three other Doord
too old to be a stock boy, most likely a greeter
Frank Sinatra was buried with a fifth of Jack Daniels and a pack of Camels.
I went there in 2012. Also saw his apartment at l7 Rue Beautreillis and basically walked in Jims footsteps to his favorite park in the area, pubs and sitting along the Siene. Loved every minute.
we miss you jim
I visited that last month,grave....Jim Morrison....
PERE LACHAISE....PARIS....BEAUTIFULLLLL.....RIP JIM....CROATIA FAN,LOVE JIM.....FOREVER😘😘😘🐊🐊🗼🗼
The absence of John Densmore is unsettling.
I believe that there was a falling out for a period of time, but that the three of them reconciled before Ray's death.
Wow Great video - very cool that Robbie and Ray really went back to their past and resolved / dealt with everything and documented the songs and made videos
Só quem é fã sabe o poder dessas imagens.
Me deu um misto de sentimentos, ver esses caras.
É de arrepiar!
Nossa... como o mundo é louco.
I love guys, I love the Doors, , I love Jim. Thank you!
AND RAY now your gone. Than you for the music. It was not only JIM, but YOU all.
Rest in Peace Ray
I was at Jim’s grave in April 1982. Ate acid, smoked weed and partied with at least 100 people from around the world. One of the coolest days of my life.
loved that Ray dissed the autograph seeker. this was not an autograph event.
She was pushy and annoying. I'm surprised Krieger gave her one.
Thought it was kinda funny what Ray said though, if I heard right he said, "Well that's a bitch, but it happens."
It's sad that the Morrison statue was defaced. I can't stand when people come on youtube just to write rude comments. Jim is at peace. Thanks for sharing this footage.
This should have been a PRIVATE moment between the band and Jim. Media FUCKS everything up!
No one cares what you think
I like Ray's fence shirt. RIP Jim and Ray. Forever brothers! Both live on through the Doors music as well as all the other art they wrote, created and produced.
So, where's John? I wonder why
Manzarek was the best rock organist ever. Nothing against Wakeman or other greats, but Manzarek understood the soul of rock roll and the time. Light My Fire was his perfect canvas, and even as he changed it from performance to performance, it was the ultimate bhava of its genre. I never met you , but part of me just departed. We all have the music.
Jim's living on an island with Jimi Hendrix and Keith Moon.
Morrison and Hendrix were good friends
And also with Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain
@@jpgp2939 get the idea pal
Who's on bass?
@@jorgepeterbarton - Greg Lake.
Strangely, my favourite memory of Paris was walking around the cemetery on my own,waiting for my girlfriend to come out of work. My grandmother had recently passed and it seemed like a natural place to visit. I happened upon the graves of Oscar Wilde, Chopin and Jim. A boring afternoon transformed by the greatness of others.
I agree with you Mary, was this a sincere visit to an old friend, or was it some kind of publicity stunt to attract attention to themselves four decades after? Anyway, Jim is gone, now so is Ray, may God have them both under his mantle where they can finally rest forever. I had the pleasure of meeting both Ray and Robbie when I was working for Virgin Records in L.A. and I must say it will always be one of the highlights of my life.
Merry Xmas to all you rockers and music/poetry loving people out there everywhere.
Time//Peace,

Crazy, I saw his grave in July 2011 a few weeks after this.
God bless Ray Manzarek, who was mostly what the Doors were all about.
Indeed
A true hippie
Have you noticed that security girl that worked her way across the fence and around the tombstones to get Ray Manzarek’s attention for an autograph? That was really impolite...man! Especially, during such an important ceremony like that, while these guys are paying their respects to Jim. She was even bold enough to ask him twice, for his signature and he refused to sign her little piece of paper. I’m so glad that he taught her a good lesson.
JIM WOULD HATE THIS SHIT!
He had a great sense of humor. I think he was more than likely laughing his ass off at that lady crying and carrying on like that. Geez, give it a rest, lady!
You don't know that, you fucking peasant!!! You know NOTHING about how Jim would've reacted. He threw parties all the time. Why would he hate just another party???
That bitch crying couldn't name 4 Doors songs ...
I bought tickets for the Doors in 1966 but mistakenly showed up a week late! Ugh. Later saw Robby Krieger and his son live in Durango Colorado. A real treat. I think the ghost of Jim was there that night.
Ray Manzarek died few years after this
