You can see (and hear if you squint your ears) Ray talking to Jim at around 3:17, telling him that they can't turn the lights down because they're filming the gig. Then you see Jim's disappointment. That, to me, makes this version. As well as the moth story.
@@hopeklemann1 The Doors said the same thing I did. Jim was on ACID. The Bowl sucks, they made them unplug 95% of the amps on stage. Bobby was under recorded. Jim's mic kept cutting out and they used vocals from other shows to fix it.
They would go off script sometimes, and this is definitely one of those times. I think you would be better served with the studio version before checking THIS version out, but the other way around works as well. I think you would LOVE another song from this same concert - When The Music's Over. It has some more of this live theatricality that only The Doors could create together, but it also has more of his vocals that you will enjoy. Much love! ❤
Ray Manzerak, Robbie Kruger and John Densmore are all amazing musicians. Then there's Jim, surely the most entertaining, unpredictable, mesmerising front man ever. How I wish I could have been in the audience but unfortunately I was born to late. I wonder if those lucky people watching were aware that we'd still be appreciating these performances 50 years + later?
I've never seen this live version before, very cool. It happens to be my favorite Doors tune. Yes, Jim is adding lyrics that were not in the studio version, lol. I am very impressed by the quality of this video! By the way, this epic tune was used in the movie Apocalypse Now. I can't watch or listen to one without thinking of the other.
A lot of people who knew nothing of The Doors met them through this song when the studio version was used in the movie "Apocalypse Now". The studio version is excellent in its original form, but I have always been partial to live performances and this version of The End is why - about a third of this performance is adlibbed as only Jim Morrison could adlib it. This song is credited as one of the earliest (if not the first) of the "Psychedelic Rock" genre and holds a prominent place in the history of rock.
Thought I'd seen all things Doors, watching them since 67, this blew me away. Good job finding this. Talk about going 'Off Script'. PS we had the best Acid back then, Jim was out there on this night.
Jim is tripping hard here, as he took a hit of LSD before taking the stage that night. That's likely why he's spitting out random stuff here. But he, Ray, Jon, and Robby created a masterpiece overall that show.
The live video is much more theatrical and engaging than the studio song, but the studio version is fantastic, Salvo. Robbie Krieger's Asiatic riffs in the opening are entrancing. I have always felt that psychedelia and the 1960s counter culture movement was a collective expression of freedom and personal liberty that the conformist 1950s stifled and punished. In 2024, it seems the dominant society has tried to convince us that freedom is being chained in a cage of regressive beliefs that the imprisoned never have to leave. EDIT: Even further, as a young man, I had to reconcile Jim Morrison's lyrical interaction with his parents and I've interpreted it as Jim wanting to kill the collective unconscious paternal archetype that represents power and authority and wanting to procreate with the maternal archetype that represents nurturing, caring, wisdom and the divine feminine.
@@itnow Well duh. But it was also just one take, with no over dubbing. So though yes, it was in a studio, it was also a live recording with very little, if any, post production other than some mixing. Which is why with some audiophile, and probably just some decent headphones, you feel like you are in the room with them. You can visualize where every instrument is to an extremely accurate degree. The same sort of audio panning you would get if you were listening to a concert or live performance in some really good headphones. You can close your eyes and picture the dark studio, lit up with candles, as it was when they recorded it. It's truly an amazing experience to hear. And I will just say this in general. If you are a music lover it is more than worth buying some quality headphones and a decent amp. It will completely change how you hear music you have heard your whole life. This songs studio version is a great example on how much the way you consume music makes it sound and changes the experience.
you nailed it... the oedipal section is symbolic, not literal.... a breakage of the old order. A discovery of a new path forward. end isnt about death. its about the death of a cage & finding a new way out.
This was Jim.... they just wound him up and let him go ! His band didn't know where he was going or how he'd get them there, but he did, and it was always magical 🎙😎 Yes The Lizard King was a poet first, then a rock star and their live shows were truly one of a kind events and Jim always kept them guessing ✌️😁 I never watched a live show but I heard one just outside the casino ballroom on the coast of New Hampshire ........ I was a very young rocker (7yrs) back then and I heard Jim singing how cool ! ( I was a fan from the start )
Okay Salvo, now hear the great version, perfection from the studio. The Doors have few great performances on film, but all their studio work was amazing. This in spite of their bravery onstage.
The entire accident, dying in the field, grasshopper, and up until "Nothing you can do about it" was ad-libbed. With the show in Hollywood, odds are Morrison has dropped a lot of acid, and it's possible for the rest of the band.
This is probably the best live performance from Jim you'll see. Because of his substance abuse issues, Doors live concerts were hit or miss, often starting hours late, Jim forgetting lyrics, or being falling down drunk.
Watching Jim actively channel his friends is fascinating. No way that Jim knew the Sundance but here he is doing it.... Which one of those "Dead NDN" was dancing Jim? I used to baby sit my Grandpa in the early 90's. He was sick, his heart was failing and someone always stayed with him when my Grandma needed to run errands or play Bingo. I brought my VHS copy of this to the house to sit with him. He was napping so I slipped the video in. We got to this song, Grandpa woke up. He said, "Is this boy Nuuch?" (Our language for ourselves). I said "No I'm pretty sure he's a White boy". He watched more and Jim's dancing now before he starts screaming. Grandpa says, Are you sure he's not Nuuch? I hear the Sundance drums and he's dancing like Sundancer. I told him about the story of the "Dead NDN" on the side of the highway. Grandpa said he was onto something. The legend lives on... Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Jim was such a controversial guy. He literally told rolling stone magazine that his entire family was killed in a car accident and they were alive and well 😂 His poetry books are very good. Jim liked to take LSD and Drink right from the bottle and he hated being famous by the end. He literally had to be talked into being the lead singer by keyboardist Rey. He stated he was a poet and not a singer....and was complete anti establishment. The studio versions are better because they had control but during performances Jim was likely to do his own thing 😂 Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
This song is so '67-'68. His father was an Admiral in the US Navy in the Gulf of Tongen - starting the initial engagement of the Vietnam War. This was played in all the Huey's, goodness and fIre lines in Country. Dark. Very Dark. Totally expressing the Area infamous of beloved leaders that were showing a different way.
his dad wasnt directly involved in tonkin.... thats a bs net story wh/ caught its own conspiracy wings.... official records show: a. he wasnt an admiral. b. he wasnt running the flagship of the sheet. c. his ship was much further out in the perimeter of their mission area. when tonkin event happened, his fathers ship was in japan.... morrison's dad wasnt anywhere up the chain at this point in his career that you're implying.... the gulf of tonkin event itself was orchestrated by mcnamara & then the lbj admin. they conflated info into an attack that wasnt there. that helped get congress to scale up war. But putting that on morrison's father is a gross misrepresentation of the actual facts. really a disservice to the morrison family & jim.
The Lizard King looks like he's tripping in this one. I guess he's actually Mr. Mojo Rising for this vid tho😉 He was one wild character, sometimes strange. Also a huge Rebel if there ever was one. I think he took being a hippy to the next level 🔺🔺Anyway research on Jim is quite interesting. Thnx Salvo for ur reactions .. mine are about the same. 😊
the car accident, to seven bachelors, to birds & worms thing was some odd improv ive never heard in any other live version of this song...i wouldve bedn lime "wtf??" too if this was my first time hearing this song...jim may have bern on LSD earlier in the day, i think it was subsiding by the time the show happened tho...he did meet mick jagger of the rolling stones earlier this day, & mick jagger was in the audience....it was kind of not a normal doors show because of that because jim was nervous about oerforming in front of mick & he was also on very, very good behavior that night, especially for 1968, the early, crazy, crazy days of the doors
You know,.. from what I've read, the band was kind of just hanging on Morrison to see where they were headed that night, and they got very good at it. The only non musician here is indeed Morrison, who didn't even regard himself as a singer. The rest of the band were excellent musicians, but none of them questioned Morrison's position or the magic he was capable of invoking, and regarded him a crucial part of their whole (Manzarek was probably the one who best put this into words). Anyway, this made it so that a concert could be anything from a hypnotic, mystical, ecstatic experience, to a swing and a miss, depending on the state and mood of Morrison. I think this was somewhere in between (those lights really bothered him), but here's what I say: Do you really just want a live copy, or do you want to see what's gonna happen? The copy you can go home and listen to anytime you want, but a Doors concert was a unique experience, for better or worse. I don't think you can learn to love The Doors. There's an atmosphere and content there to pick up on, and you're either predisposed, or you're not. That's my experience anyway.
I personally prefer the studio version. This is quite different than that. He often ad-libed, and the band never knew where they were going. He was likely rather drunk and high here. Was fortunate to see them perform in 1968. It was at Veterans Memorial in AZ. During the State Fair. When the concert was done they rode the Sky tram that crossed over the fairgrounds. They got in trouble because they were spitting loogies down on people. Arizona asked them to leave and not come back. It was quickly forgotten as there was much other controversies from other bands that followed.lol
They have some amazing live performances, but the issue is they were so hit or miss because of his substance abuse. Plus, there weren't cameras everywhere like there is now, so a lot of his performances are lost to time.
Please watch this video Fleetwood Mac - Sisters of the Moon (1979) - Tusk Documentary & Live Concert VHS - HD Upscale One of the great performances of this incredible song, Stevie was awesome there!!!!
Many people write : The studio album version is better. Of course in a studio they can manipulate a lot. But as a Doors fan every concert was something special, have many live boots and Jim chances a lot of the songs live. So if you were lucky and could see 3 shows all 3 were different. Later it went worser but still way better than a boring repeat myself show. Totally at the end 1/2 1969/ 1970....and if you see the Isle of Wight footage Jim was "empty".
I haven't seen this before. It is way different than the studio recording, and I hate to say it: not really as good. They may have been forced to change lyrics by local obscenity laws. The Doors were hated by conservative local law enforcement of the era.
Light My Fire is one of the greatest songs of all time and probably a grandfather of Prog. Otherwise I always felt the Doors were kind of a "downer" band. Bad vibes.
The Doors were alot better than this crap. The Hollywood Bowl show is well known because of its availability before the internet. When the only footage you could get of live music was passed around by hand or rented on VHS at Blockbuster, it had nothing to do with the quality of the performance. It was available because the people that owned the footage promoted it. Its a shame because this is not a good representation of The Doors live. I can't watch it because I have heard good Doors shows and it makes this one hard to watch. What then? Check out The Doors Absolutely Live. Seriously. The first one from 1970, or whenever. "Who Do You Love" "Celebration of The Lizard" ---will knock your socks off. Video? Check out the black and white 1968 tv studio European footage. Check out the bearded Morrison on American PBS television 1969 doing "The Soft Parade" you might need a nap after that one.

The band never knew what Jim was going to do, or say. They just went with it, and jammed.
You can see (and hear if you squint your ears) Ray talking to Jim at around 3:17, telling him that they can't turn the lights down because they're filming the gig. Then you see Jim's disappointment. That, to me, makes this version. As well as the moth story.
"THERE ARE THINGS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN AND IN BETWEEN ARE THE DOORS"
Jim absolutely tripping balls
Apocalypse Now
Can't believe I haven't seen this version.
Jim had a great sense of humour.
🌸 it's pretty rare to be able to watch an actual live performance with Jim so this is fantastic!!
This show was one of their worst shows in 1968.
@@StanSwan well I like the show and I like Jim's character so... to each his own, I guess
@@hopeklemann1 The Doors said the same thing I did. Jim was on ACID. The Bowl sucks, they made them unplug 95% of the amps on stage. Bobby was under recorded. Jim's mic kept cutting out and they used vocals from other shows to fix it.
Jim was the definition of Rock Star. Tragically he lived it and died that way.

Instrumentally they were exceptional and then add Jim. I wish I could have seen them live.

he did what he wanted to do

How I wish I could have been in the audience but unfortunately I was born to late.

Just the beginning ... haha
The Doors have so many great songs.
A great cinematic use of this song is the opening scene of "Apocalypse Now"
My favorite band of all time since about '90 or '91 😎👍
My favorite band of all time since the summer of '67.
I've never seen this live version before, very cool. It happens to be my favorite Doors tune. Yes, Jim is adding lyrics that were not in the studio version, lol.

Loved him then, love him still. Greatest band ever
They never do this song the same. Every version is worth a listen.
Hell yeah! My favourite version! Ode to a grasshopper!
The band were so good in being able to play around Jim...seriously it looks like Jim took some of the brown acid on this one...lucky guy! lol
I really enjoyed watching this cool video with you! You didn't interrupt and ruin the song.
Thank You
Thought I'd seen all things Doors, watching them since 67, this blew me away. Good job finding this. Talk about going 'Off Script'. PS we had the best Acid back then, Jim was out there on this night.
The album version is much darker.
This was used well in Apocalypse Now. You really should check out L A Woman. Another Doors masterpiece
🌸 if you're not like a huge huge huge huge Jim and doors fan, this is probably tripping you out right now
Ultimate acid trip song.

No words
Okay Salvo, now hear the great version, perfection from the studio. The Doors have few great performances on film, but all their studio work was amazing. This in spite of their bravery onstage.
The End and Unknown Soldier really go together.
I was there!!!!
The camera men were probably saying ' No dont turn down the lights, we're making a film here!'
The entire accident, dying in the field, grasshopper, and up until "Nothing you can do about it" was ad-libbed. With the show in Hollywood, odds are Morrison has dropped a lot of acid, and it's possible for the rest of the band.
Jim did drop acid according to a Robby Kreiger, as heard by me on a 1990's radio show. He said nothing about anyone else taking it.
This is probably the best live performance from Jim you'll see. Because of his substance abuse issues, Doors live concerts were hit or miss, often starting hours late, Jim forgetting lyrics, or being falling down drunk.
Before they went on stage Jim told the others that he dropped a tab of good acid , who knows
Lsd was still legal and it was every where. And Jim loved it.
I think the audience cheered cause it was “The End”
There's some free form happening here....the whole accident>grasshopper interlude....
Based on the lyrics of the studio recording, the musical crescendo at 15:00 can be interpreted to represent an orgasm.
Watching Jim actively channel his friends is fascinating. No way that Jim knew the Sundance but here he is doing it.... Which one of those "Dead NDN" was dancing Jim?

Great reaction. You should check out LA Woman , When the music over , Unknown Soldier at The Hollywood Bowl , also 5 to 1.
I think he fell asleep a few minutes into the song.😅 Jim was on another level of life than the rest of us.

yes, ur right...this is very loose, makin up crazy shit as he goes along
This band is definitely NOT a "You've heard one song, you've heard them all" band. Every song is different, but always distinctively DOORS.
The power of opioids
The studio version is so much better and important too
There studio work was incredible, but live the drugs really got to him! 😢
Light my Fire (Krieger) and Riders on the storm are the Door's first hit, and last hit respectively.
This song got them kicked out of the Whiskey, but also got them their recording contract.
Jim was a "beat poet" , and huge fan of Jack Kerouac, and Alan Ginsburg (Beat poets/writers).
This brings me back to high school! I love this song….but not this live version. I also love his voice. Listen to the album. It’s worth it!
There was only one Jim. Can't be duplicated.
Are you kidding me you have to watch the studio version
🌸 okay the accident verse??? that was just like random it's not in the song normally.. same for grasshopper
I agree with those saying the album version is better.
Lots of LSD! One of three we lost to all that abuse and misuse at age 27…Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Jimmy Hendrix

Back in the day songs were made to fit on records. In concerts bands would at times jam out for hours. Some shows would go on till the drugs ran out!
I AM SCREAMING AT YOU NOW!!!!! YOU MUST IT IS A MUST REACT TO THE MOVIE "THE DOORS" STARRING VAL KILMER
Strafatto come sempre😅
Jim does a lot of adlib in his songs!!!
I never cared for The Doors live. The circus got stranger as the years passed. But I love their studio work.
They have some amazing live performances, but the issue is they were so hit or miss because of his substance abuse. Plus, there weren't cameras everywhere like there is now, so a lot of his performances are lost to time.
Unless you have tripped on LSD out in the Mojave desert you dont know
Don't let me die in an automobile
I wanna lie in an open field
Jim what else is there to analyze of mental instability
Anyone know which Bowl it is? Hollywood, Berkeley...somewhere else?
Legend has it Jim was on LSD for this performance 🤔 Salvo…have you heard the original? It’s much better than this.
He wasn't conscious when he sang...he was always on drugs
