Yeah,that was a hell of a concert, I bought the video a long time ago. It was so psychedelic, especially since Morrison was on acid. I don't know how he maintained a remembered lyrics. It brought the best of the Doors. It was bizzar and mesmerizing like I've never seen before. I could just watch it over and over!
I really like what Ray Manzarek says at the end. It was fun ....his youth. Too many people take all this way too seriously...JIm wasn't a sourpuss and gloomy ....he was a fun interesting guy. This was a great band...wish I could have seen them live with Jim. Records will have to suffice and just have to take the inspiration from their message....stay open to possibilities ....drugs not necessary...just like Bruce Lee said too ..water can flow or it can crash ...be water my friend....
He passed on shortly after this due to bile duct cancer, you can tell he was kind of jaundiced but still was upbeat and positive. That's what's great about good music. The artists don't live forever but the music does.
@@srinath31 I wouldn't call 3+ years later 'shortly'...... I saw them in '91 at the Long Beach Arena and Jim was drunk as a sailor. Not the best show, but I saw them!
The days of my youth rise fresh in my mind. Over too soon. "Like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
Rays words at the end brought tears to my eyes...i'm 38 years old you know. I discovered the band when i was 13 and a couple years later i realized that i would never have the chance to see them performing live on stage...Years later a friend of mine called me on the phone and told me that the Doors will play live in Athens!!! It was the year 2004 and one of the best nights of my life!! Please excuse my English...
I loved KHJ. Have been by the studio on Melrose. Sure is hard to find free form radio these days. Been by the Bowl numerous times and been all over it. Thanks for the memories! Was on a different planet over there, compared to where i am now
I was 18 that summer ... ... 💜🎶🎶🎵🎶🇺🇸 What great memories of the 60's totally opposite of today 9-6- 2019 🖤 😵😱 completely polar opposite of the 60's. Today sucks, I'm glad that I'm not young today, what a bummer if I had to live my youth in today's culture. I am glad that I'm old now. That I grew up in the 50's, 60's and 70's greatest era for Good music ever 🎶🎶🎵💙 💖 💣💥💥💥
I'm five years younger, I agree with you 100 percent, that's why I craft these buggers, A reminder of what was, and what could be! You're never too old to rock n roll if your too young to die my Droog..
I recall it well. We had been setting up for the Concert approx. 6 days Prior. I believe at the Time it was the Largest Audio system ever put together for a Live performance at that time . Each side of the Drum river was like 20 or 25 Amps setup and even had onstage monitors and mixing boards etc. We d gone thru sound checks daily so as to try and be flawless as the entire show was being filmed with 5 seperate 35 mm Panvision sound Movie Cameras , cutting edge at the time. Alot of UCLA Film School friends of Jim and Ray were brought in to make the film . One guy I met was named Harrison Ford on Camera #3 . Another, a kind of strange guy advising was named Frances Ford Copala . It was a very big deal in 1968 LOS ANGELES . All radio stations in LA THAT DAY were playing non stop doors and TV interviews The Audience was said to contain every Rock Star in LA . Along with every major male movie star , all wanted to be somehow have the Morrison Mystique rub off on them somehow , have their Photo or Image next to Jim the most handsome man in the world at that time . Even at Alta Cieniga The press were thick and When I let Mick Jagger in the front door It was intense .. Mick in his get up was not prepared for what he got when he saw a real rock star as he stood in the very small and cheap motel room was Jim Morrison standing pissing inthe Toilet as he spoke out the 2nd floor widow to a few girls on the sidewalk below . Ignoring Mick Jim picked up his book and resumed reading. Babe Hill said to Jim Mick stopped by to wish you well tonight Jim High on Acid looked over and said oh cool thanks man . Mick looked to see what Jim was reading. THE WILL TO POWER BY F. NIETZSCHE LSYCHOLOGY IF XROWDS ANDAYDUANCE MANIPULATION. WOW, THATS HEAVY... JIM IFNORED MICK AND JUST THEN THE HAUR AND MAKEUP CHICK SHOWED UP and Jim started to get ready He stripped naked and put on his leathers and black blouse . The chick hooked his silver cross , brushed his hair couple time and split. He is Jim Morrison I mean what are you going to do ??? He is perfect. They poured a few whiskies but Jim was not in a Happy mood . THANX to Pam. Already on a bummer Jim refused the Limo and he and Babe split in the Mustang go a few blocks to the show. Myself and Vince left in his car to follow the as an in case team . It all ended ok as Steppenwolf was playing and bout 45 mins to go. Jim took his other Tab of Purple Qwsley sent over by means of the Grateful Dead family and began smokin this excellent Thai Weed and passed joints for 20 mins none stop. The band arrived andJohn started up as usual and put Jim on more of a Bummer saying thatPam was sitting in the front Row with Mick Jagger who's just been at the room an hour ago. Jim had a look on his face like he wanted to kill some body , asked me if I had any shrooms and I didn't. I'd already taken them myself. With the weight of Hollywood Bowl concert all eyes on him Under 2 hits of very good LD Thai Stick the press radio stations 20,000 fans his old lady being with Mick Jagger all of it , Jim stepped up onto that stage 24 yrs old The Biggest Rock Star on the planet .... I've often what he must have thought at that moment as he stood there in the Dark as that 100 thousand candle light sot hit him and the announcer said From Los Angeles Calif , Ladies and Gentleman The DOORS . UNBELIEVABLE REALLY THE CROWD ON ITS FEET SCREAMING AND YELLING HIS NAME JIM HIM JIM JIM
KHJ was a radio station back in the day when they were saying about the concert in 1968 but unfortunately they did mention the doors in their ads for that summer of '68 and the doors were playing at the Hollywood bowl that summer of '68..✌☮😊🍺
Well done compilation footage and pics.... the shirtless one is very rare.... Morrison was in his absolute prime here. Messed up or not his singing was spot on at the show... jagger was at this show b/c Morrison was replacing him as the top dangerous lead in rock.... at this point he could’ve done anything in multimedia, star in a movie, direct, stage act, write etc... he looked very healthy a good 10 lbs heavier, filled out and strong vs the lean Venice London fog days.... it would all be over less then a year away in spring Miami. Jagger was lucky Miami happened b/c he was being eclipsed, hence jaggers reboot of image and songwriting in ‘69... always remember the doors dominated 68, the most dangerous year of the decade. The center of the center in the cultural and music AOR transition. Mt Rushmore stuff here in rock.
The Real Don Steele was a local DJ at KHJ, they sponsored the Hollywood Bowl show. Here is a film I did about him and the station, they were big in Rock history..Thanks so much for watching! I liked to record as a kid, I'm old, lol, saw the Doors in 68, they came to our little town, six months before the Hollywood Bowl show. th-cam.com/video/NIExF7Kj4go/w-d-xo.html
+Airbaja Old? Getting old means liva and life! I wish I was born 30 years earlier. .for me the 60ies have this magical touch..another century-another world..I'm a big fan of the doors ..of jim..How was the concert, how was Jim 😉 and where took it place?
Soooo, sweet, thank you, Comelia, I would not trade a minute, it was magical, that is why I'm kinda possessed by relaying the gifts received to those souls who crave such freedom and energy the was that time. Here if interested is the film I made of the shows I saw in my home town, 1968...My Mom worked at the venue... th-cam.com/video/yoZrdjzj3nI/w-d-xo.html
I remember my trip to LA and walking up to the Hollywood Bowl one morning from my bed and breakfast on N. Sierra Bonita and Hollywood... I just walked in and wandered around and took some pictures and then was told it was off limits to the public by the staff... they let me stay though to take some pictures. I then went to the gift shop and met a beautiful girl from Conneticut... I wish the Doors would have been around longer...
All the good stuff dissipates, Life 101, right J/M? All glory fades, savor my friend savoooor. The Hollywood Bowl is legendary for many reason to us locals. Growing up we'd go to the 'Summer Concert Series' during the late Fifties and Sixties, my Pep's dug that sort of thing. Later before we had jobs and doe, we'd sneak in over the hill in back. How about a little something for the effort? Birth of a Nation sucked but Old man Griffith gave L.A. one hell of a park..Easter Sunday we would go to the 'Sunrise Service' Now I go the a few times a year for kool concerts, it's truly halod ground in my sojourn. As Hope would say, "Thanks for the Memories!"

Man, radio ain't like in this video any more. Now it's just over slick corporate bullshyte. I remember the Real Don Steele on KHJ when we lived in LA and he had a show with the teens dancing on Saturday nights. I think it was on Channel 9. At the end of the show they would play Devil With the Blue Dress On.
