The Doors, amazing!! I was probably 7/8 and I remember my 16 year old brother taking his Harley across country to California...he always sent me postcards and pictures, I have pictures of him with Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix...I keep them in a safety deposit box and I think I'm going to will them to my grandson...my brother told me so many amazing stories!! My brother has passed on but all the memories keep him alive!! My brother and I were always extremely close, he was my big brother and I was his little sis, he never called me by my name, only called me sis!! My brother was a very quiet, laid-back type of person, I was always the rowdy one lol...we went to the Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon tour in Phoenix in the 70s, what a fantastic time we had!! Keep up the great work, I love what you do!!
That's so cool! Those were the days when anybody could afford to live in l.a. so it got lots of cool ppl like your brother from all over the country looking for something new. Wish I could go back in time to see it tthen!
Wow..... such a cool story. You brother sounds like one cool dude.
Yep those photos sound like something that a lot of people would love to see..please dont ever lose them..and get them copied!
Wow !! That’s incredible man …. Stars of today don’t even compare with the likes of that line up back then, blows my mind
This story blows my mind, your brother was one cool guy, you were so lucky
Wow! Thanks Michael, I'm a huge Doors fan. You did an absolute fantastic job(as usual)👍
Think about they were just around for 5 years and they are still listened to and talked about.
No band or music is or has been like the Doors since.
Rip Jim and Ray

I'm a guy from England who couldn't find magic in the Stones, or the Who, or Led Zep. But the Doors... Oh wow. That first album. Pure gold!
Weirdo lol
@@smith9808
Realy?
I just love your story telling talent…and how you see things in your mind! You make me think outside the usual box to other cool view points! Keep these videos coming!
All these decades being a doors fan and I never heard the story of the grasshopper and seeing the MA fly away until your video which was SO COOL to learn! Jim Morrison wasn't just a great musician but an amazing poet and actually you really got me into poetry. Is what an amazing video! Thank you!!!✌️🎵🎼🎙🦎
B. B juice and
Ji
My parents went to "The Doors" last concert that they played in Miami. I still remember my Dad talking about seeing them play LIVE.
My parents saw them LIVE, But in 1997 I went to Paris and of course, I had to go to Jim's final resting place. I can only imagine that Michael standing @ the Hollywood Bowl was the same feeling I had standing at Jim's grave.
Really?! So cool 😎
@@timfields6130 As Morrison died decades before, I figure it was the Quasi-Doors?
Tim - how incredible that your parents saw that particular concert -- Jim's last concert.
From time to time since 2020 I watch one clip of him over and over from that concert because he was trying to wake everyone up. That's why he used to yell out "WAKE UP!!" at his audience. But at this concert he went on a rant about how we're all a bunch of slaves and asked "How long are you going to take it?" This clip of him fits what's happening today to a T!
Here it is (he's swearing in it): th-cam.com/video/pxcUh45E-I8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Krzysiek86PL
God, how I wish he was still alive today.
Isn't it interesting that he had to flee the country and then was killed after this concert?
I heard he said he was drunk at this concert and that's why he went off.
You know, his father was responsible for the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin which got the U.S. involved in the Vietnam War. I know his dad has his own story which is that he meant to try to do the right thing but he was put in between a rock and a hard place.
At any rate, Jim knew things about how our society is run and it seems like he really wanted to let us know we need to stand up for ourselves and not put up with the power elite trying to control us. I'll always be grateful for Jim Morrison and his monumental effort. He tried, Man, he tried.
Miami wasn’t even close to their last concert, sorry
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks!!
Wow, wish I was there. It's beautiful. The Doors will always be one of my favroute bands. Thank you for taking us there to the Bowl.
Saw Bob Dylan and Paul Simon at the Bowl in June of '99, six rows back from the stage. Val Kilmer sitting a few seats over from us with a beautiful woman, and Jack Nicholson just behind us with his head thrown back the entire time with an epic grin. Magical night. Saw Tom Petty there, too, his second to last concert before he died. I've seen several others as well, but those two stand out. Being a Doors fan, and having met Ray, every time I'm there I feel their ghosts.
the sound coming out of that place must be mind blowing when the Doors where playing
You guys are great. Thank you for all your hard work and research. ❤️
Imagine listening to Light My Fire at the Bowl, with today's sound technology.
if he was alive he would just laugh at todays music
Love the Doors great video thanks...Jim on acid..Ode to a grasshopper...oh I blew it it's a moth lol
I've seen many classical concerts and a couple of rock shows at the Bowl over the years (John Fogerty, Radiohead, and Oasis). It's a great venue to see live music.
I wish I'd been around to see The Doors back in 1968. I saw them in 2002 when my brother was actually working for Ray Manzarek as his keyboard technician on their reunion tour. He did that for almost a year and even got to play with Robby Krieger and Ray. The best part for him, he says, was hearing stories about Jim Morrison. He was only the crazy guy when he was drinking and usually on stage. Most of the time he was quiet, writing his poetry or reading. The movie that Oliver Stone made completely missed the part of Jim that was an intellectual and an artist.
Love watching your videos, and Happy Halloween.
Killer story
Good to know, thank you. I like Oliver Stone and think he's quite talented but I think he underestimated people who would have enjoyed seeing the real Jim when he's working and being contemplative and creative.
I'm such a huge fan of The Doors and i absolutely love their music over the years, i have a an original t-shirt of The Doors when they playing in Hollywood Bowl back 1968 , i'm happy for those people who saw these iconic four men playing during their live shows around the world :) i always found so much love and hapiness everytime i'm listening their songs , Jim Morrison and his iconic staging voice will never be forgotten , he's gone to soon , but always will be living in our musical hearts
Yeah right.......
I was lucky to have a day out exploring The Hollywood Bowl. You can’t stand on the stage as it was netted off. but I have touched it. PS The Doors are the best band to ever come out of the States
Can you imagine what it would have been like that night to watch them live there? Can you picture what would be, so limitless and free?
Desperately in need..of some strangers hand...💕
@@crazycatlady68 in a desperate land.........
I would LOVE if you did a LA tour of doors locations (like Venice Beach, and the La Cienega hotel, room 32). Jim Morrison still has a lot of draw even today. Please please do!!
The Doors is a band I wish I could of seen but Jim died when I was 5. A special band close to my heart. Thanks for this and all you and Jessica do. 🖤🖤... I took acid once, it was a trip that lasted 3 days... Never again.
I would LOVE to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl some day--- I have seen many pictures of big artists who have performed there in the day, from Bowie, the Who, Elton John & of course, the Doors... It always had a majestic charm that I've noticed from afar, viewing it from magazines like the Rolling Stone, Creem Magazine, and many others... Nice coverage as always GriMMs--- loved the trivia about taking acid before performing at the Hollywood Bowl... Lemme tell ya, i dropped a lot of acid in my day, and I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER drop it in front of thousands of people, let alone perform, as well (OUCH!!!!!).... that's a big recipe for a bad, bad trip...... OOf!.... So KooL you, and your dad have the Doors in common, as a good thing to kick around between you two ---- makes the years go by a lot smoother.... Thanks, again for taking us ALL along on another, 'Line-up the Shot' episode... all is LOVE, and Happy Halloween, GriMMs... :^)""""""""
Good Luck! I live here in S. CA and have only gone 3X and it's a horrible experience. The location might be good for acoustics but the sight lines are bad, the parking is beyond bad to the point they still have those old lots where they stack the cars and you CAN NOT leave until all the other cars blocking you are gone! If they ever have a true emergency...good luck getting out of that place in under 30 minutes. It's just an old venue, and it shows everywhere.
Another great grim life collective adventure love the doors🔥😎
It would’ve been a totally awesome experience to see The Doors live in concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
I had the biggest crush on Jim Morrison back in the late 1960's. He called himself "The Lizard King". I believe to this day that Jim Morrison was some kind of witch. I also thought that Jim Morrison had a rich melodic voice, and that some of his band members secretly enabled his drug habit out of sheer jealousy of him.
Joanne, I have always believed everything you said in your comment. Jim was magic himself, and I can see how he would have a lot of jealous people around him, including his own band menbers.
He, also, had some healing powers in his presence, in his voice, in his body movements. I cannot even imagine what it would have been back then to experience him and his performances live...cellular explosion 💥
I saw the Doors at a Seattle area pop festival in 1969. The band The Guess Who played that day, too.
Jim Morrison lived in Melbourne Florida that is also where I grew up around the same time we may of went to school together or hung out at the Melbourne boardwalk together?
I looove those old concrete venues in hills. The one in Berkeley is pretty rad too. Built by WR Hearst.
Amazing video! I did a Los Angeles vlog and I had this on my bucket list but they were not allowing tours at that time. I am definitely going to be back and I have to check it out. It’s absolutely historic and you did a wonderful job with this video. Keep up the great work!
8:17 literally when you said the word (levitating) A flower fell the exact opposite of being up. 🌸
It is amazing that Jim was able to perform while on acid - He's a TRIP! Jeff & Vicky
Acid was on Jim 🤡😵💫
It’s to bad California has to be so woke and littered with crime . Y’all kick those democrats out and we would come visit all that history
You're a great story teller! Love watching you!
Never ever grim with the grimms happy halloween 🎃 that's where Jim pee'd into the audience and got nicked for it...#legendneverdie
The architecture of the Hollywood Bowl is gorgeous and the acoustics are even better! Thanks for documenting this bro.
That was cool! I have that concert on VHS and had it converted to DVD. Not only did they have dinner with Mick Jagger and some of the other guys Mick Jagger was somewhere up front for the show. I've read that's one of the reasons Jim was nervous. Also another cool fact the leather pants Jim has on are now owned by Alice Cooper. Anyway another great video thanks for taking us on the adventure.
Those pants r on display at the hall of fame
Hey guys, I’m a big fan of all your videos. I watch them almost daily. I just wanted to say that I think the Hollywood Bowl was really cool and I’m hoping maybe you’ll do other famous concert venues in the future including old punk, goth, and metal venues. Stay spooky 🎃💀
I love the Doors and this video was amazing. Michael, you're such a good storyteller. I have to comment on your Frankenstein/ Big Boy horror T-shirt... COOL!!💚🖤
That was so neat to see the bowl again. My mom and I used to go there to see shows in the 70's and it was fun. I heard the Doors played there. When I was younger. Some folks my parents knew saw them at the bowl. ❤️🎃
Awesome video! Doors are my all time favorite band since I was a wee lad listening to them with my dad! Interesting note about Densmore saying that jim was having drinks while they were with jagger. In the book jim morrison life, death,legend it claims that he was at the hotel he was living at at the time locked in the bathroom tripping his nut off while the meeting with jagger was happening. Jagger wanted to meet jim,his American counterpart so to speak,and they told jagger where to find him. Jagger then goes to the hotel but somebody that was with jim answered the door and let's him in but jim wouldn't come out bc hes so high and paranoid,so the story the book tells is that he never met jagger even tho he was in his hotel room for a bit trying to meet him. Wonder which is accurate...
"Seven people took a ride.Six bachelors & their bride".😵💫🤣
4:39 😂😂😂😂😂 and that’s why maybe Jim took acid!!
Man, I LOVE The Doors! I play drums in a punk band and I get the Doors hate from people all the time and I tell them Just watch the Doors at the Hollywood Bowl and when Jim starts going off about a grasshopper, watch the 3 musicians of the band and how they have to start improvising right there on the spot! How they are all looking at each other and raising an eyebrow or giving a nod when they want to change. They get softer and louder depending on whatever Jim is going off about and they do it flawlessly. THAT was the real magic of The Doors.
Cool comment but what do you mean by "the Doors hate"?
@@websurfer5772 i think he means that many people in the punk music scene tell him that he is not allowed to like the doors because he plays in a punk Band.😌
@@Leo-qe3gl Oh. That is such a foreign concept to me. Why do people not want to mix genres and styles? I love it all - every style - when the song's right. Also, it can have to do with your mood.
So many people seem one dimensional to me. SMH
Thanks for explaining though.
@@websurfer5772 this is a foreign concept to me too. I like many different styles of music. Greetings from Leipzig/ germany 😌
@@Leo-qe3gl You're cool in my book. Greetings from SF Bay Area.
A little known fact, Jim Morrison's favorite group to chill out to at the time was "Pink Floyd!" The body of water was there to prevent crazed fans from rushing the stage! 😂
Just fricken awesome Micheal!! Thanks for showing us around, I have never seen what the H Bowl looks like, nor had I ever seen the levitation pics! Cool, Morrison was one of a kind!👍😎🙏🏽🎃☠️🥳
The details than you put on this video deserves a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
How about a video on The Buffey The Vampier Slayer Filmiming Locations Show and Movie?
The doors played a show at our small town Illinois high school 2 weeks before playing Ed Sullivan in Sept 67. There is a single photo of Jim Morrison on stage in the yearbook. No caption, no names, just a single photo of him on stage.
That was a great presentation. The history there is just incredible. And it looks very similar to 1968.
Love the Doors! Thanks for another great vlog! Here's a bit of trivia: Harrison Ford was a roadie/camera operator for the Doors in 68. So Han Solo shot Jim Morrison! Lol!
Ok I gotta chime in I just went to the bowl September 2022 to see Loggins and Messina they played for 1 hour and then Kenny Loggins played for an additional two hours it was amazing they sound the same as they did back then but I’m a millennial so I can’t verify that - I was jealous at all the folks there obviously flower children and baby boomers there and older talking about how they say them in 1972 and talking about stories of yesteryear made me so jealous. however I think me and my bf were the youngest two at this concert it was packed! Best concert I ever been to. The bowl is a amazing venue and the staff was so pleasant. The number system is weird I gotta say we were confused before we sat but ultimately made sense when we got to where we needed to be in a super Kenny Loggins fan
Not only being on acid and seeing 18,000 people, but seeing Mick Jagger in the front row with your girlfriend.. takes a lot of balls to get through that whilst tripping your brains out..
Did y’all watch the movie with Val Kilmore playing Jim? It was good, Val was Jim Morrison reincarnated Lol
This is so informative and interesting even though I don't know anything about the Doors. Y'all always go above and beyond in your story telling.
Watch the Doors movie with Val Killer playing Morisson,it's the best!
Jed Clampett bought The Hollywood Bowl from Honest John in 1963.
Saw the last 2 Van Halen shows in 2015, the last Black Sabbath LA show in 2016, the last Tom Petty show before he died in 2017 and Heart in 2019. The Bowl is amazing, you have to go if you get the chance.
I must say you have excellent taste in music, Sir.
Saw Petty's second to last concert there before he died. Many other great shows as well. Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in '99 stands out.
takes about 20 mins to kick in but, it was A LOT DIFFERENT too back then much more potent and without speed
There's a photo in Jerry Hopkins lizard king book where Jim's playing Maracas near Ray and Jim's eyes are kinda wide and looking like he's checking a acid vision out in a joy ful way
Grasshopper jump to me Grasshopper set me free. Fly away to another day lights down low share there glow. Every one can see all there eyes on me. I wrote to. Won awards singing the Doors. Fantasy group. Should do one on Nick Drake great Artist as well European version of Jim Morrison kinda.
Awesome Video I Enjoy all of your content always.
And Hello there from Ontario Canada 😎👍👌🖖🍁♈
I asked for a Jim Morrison Jimi Hendrix Janis Joplin video so thanks! I used to take acid and mesc and it takes about 45 minutes to hit
* and it feels like endless hallucinations, like walls and everything is breathing or pulsing, once I came home tripping and my mother made me sit in the kitchen and eat the steak and fries she made and I just remember the wallpaper breathing and the ketchup looked like blood splattered everywhere l It makes you not feel like eating and it’s honestly not a good head most of the trip, i everything looks crazy like a cartoon and other then laughing for the earlier part when it hits you, I wasn’t crazy about it ..nobody is. Overall it’s fun but then takes forever to come down which stinks
⚠️🎭 ‘Acid ‘can be horrifying !!!😵💫🎈
Yup! Very intense
I'm from Oregon and traveled to many states for shows and this one is on my bucket list. But want to see the right show for the venue. It's cool you can visit the venue when there is no event going on.
Jim would only live 3 years and 2 days longer.
Just thought of that as well....talk about living in the fast lane. RIP Jim and Ray
Just think a few years earlier the Beatles played there , i have a concert poster of there show.i,m sure it’s a repop,but it is signed by Dick Clark who promoted the beatle show. I would have been 7 years old then.
Just WOW Jim was such an icon along with the hollywood bowl huge fan of the doors and grimmlife collective thank you michael and jess for alowing your fans to live vicarsely through your hard work of showing the things you both love about california and everything halloween may you always be blessed and protected
I’m curious how the reflecting pool would make the sound better?
That theatre looks a bit like the Greek theatre in los Angeles California were Neil Diamond played is famous Hot August Nights
The Doors and the Hollywood Bowl.......it doesn't get much better than that.....
"That magician never killed him".....or did he?!?!?!?!?
He probably did.
I remember the doors and their songs and the doors were ward and happy Halloween Michael and Jessica and I will always watch your videos and learning about the video
I worked on Santa Barbara bowl back in 2007. we upgraded the stage to the concrete pavilion it is today. Every morning i would drink my coffee before work started. standing on the stage gazing out to the empty seats where countless artist from The Doors, Led zepplin, beasty boys, bob marley . To stand up acts like Robin Williams, Richard Pryor and so many more legends played. Was truly an amazing feeling, you could feel the energy all around you. they had a green room too and a wall where countless people have signed. we got to go check it out a few times. And see the countless signatures and relics on the walls bellow stage. A cool cat that ran the place, his name was "Hawaiian Joe" couldn,t have picked a cooler dude for the job. I hope he still works there and is doing good.
Micheal and Jessica nice to see you doing a vlog on the doors oh yes cool as heckings and happy Halloween to u both
You captured here the essence of the ‘Bowl’ 🎇🇺🇸🎧🎭⚜️👏
HI GRIMMS WHY DID YOU TAKE MY COMMENT OUT!!! I DIDNT SAY ANY THING WRONG OR WAS ANGRY???? I GAVE INFO FOR A POSTER AND SAID I LIKED YOUR VIDEO????
That was really cool man I really like your T-shirt I wonder if it was at the Hollywood bowl is when he was swinging that microphone around and hit that guy in the head with it I wonder if that was the place?
Its wonderful someone as young as you are, has an interest in Morrison's life . And your appreciation of old Hollywood . I see you going further than doing TH-cam videos . As they say , the world is your oyster . Well done as usual. Happy Halloween !!
The Bowl really is magical. My frist show there was NIN and Soundgarden. Last show I saw there was a screening of Jaws with a live orchestra.
His little grasshopper shop did open, in Amsterdam, selling fine fine weed!
Hey Mike and Jessica, you are in doors country, keep the doors video's coming
Love the Doors and the Stones.
Have seen the Doors Hollywood Bowl concert many times.
Would have been great if Mick Jagger in the crowd that night had come on the stage. What an awesome piece of rock history that would have been, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger on the same stage !
I'm wondering if Mick gave Jim the acid. 😄
@@websurfer5772The devil 😈 and the lizard king 🦎 chillin
@@effdonahue6595 Yesssa!
I had never noticed the moth flying away before, that is magical and iconic !
As always a Great video about one of my favorits bands...#TheDoors. Wishing you both, much respect and love. #TheOmanHouse
I love the Doors
Very interesting to hear Mick Jagger having dinner with them, and of course, Jim Morrison on acid, lol
I so hope to visit Hollywood one day.....so much history there
Those seats right in front of the stage....could you imagine sitting in one of those booths right in front, and watching a concert today?
Thank you for this great video Michael
Happy Halloween🎃🎃🎃🎃
If you don't know. Pam is actually buried in Santa Ana.
Are you a fan of Depeche Mode? If so, I'd love to see you doing the same film about the Rose Bowl. 😎
Another great band ♥️♥️♥️
I heard that they also use to Always play at the flying pig on topanga cyn too. And someone told me they played at my high school cleaveland high in reseda a long time ago. ⌛️
Do you think the Doors or Jim would be as famous if he had not died soon early in his life?
Yes
Spend a few hours at the La Cienga Motel, its an amazing feeling
My fourarite group bare none..MoJo Rising..thxs bro
Really nice vid. I am just as obsessed as you are with Doors details.
John Williams is going to be there next week! Definitely get tickets!!
The Doors, Yesss!! 🙌🏼 Thank you both for another Great Vlog 🖤 Happy Halloween 🎃
great job I love your work!!! following from brazil
I've seen photos of the water infront of the stage when the Beatles played the Bowl..nice photo comparisons btw...and just to say "how the hell Jim could even perform on acid"?!! is seriously mind boggling..
Awesome video... love your shit. When can I get one?
🖤
Michael has never dropped acid and doesn't drink. Respect!
Hollywood bowl is a great venue for concerts ..
Another great video and love your story telling you are so talented . Love to watch your videos.
