Enjoyed this little clip I loved this little clip, I lived on Dudley Avenue in Venice beach and use to walk by the Cadillac hotel every day as it was at the end of my street. Jim use to hang out at the Ellison hotel/ apartments which was at speedway and the next street over.
The doors were vlogging, before it was a thing. I often wondered why more bands like the doors didn’t have a camcorder or some video camera recording “A day in the life of Jim Morrison” or Led Zeppelin behind the scenes. The legal/appropriate stuff of course.
The only even remotely portable video equipment at the time was 1/2" reel-to-reel black and white equipment. The costs were high and the quality not so good, and there were even interchangeability issues between brands. 3/4" "U" video equipment became available around 1972--too late for The Doors. But video equipment then was bulky and expensive. VHS and Beta in 1979 really opened the door for lightweight and affordable equipment for the masses. One must realize the miniaturized equipment we take for granted today wasn't available; 16 mm film equipment would have been the best way to capture bands back in the 1960s to late 1970s. With film equipment, a professional trained in the field would have been necessary, and such a person would not have come cheaply. Moreover, most bands would look at a camera as invasive of privacy if around very much.
More footage of the new heaven gig with sound or even just a sound recording would be amazing they have the arrest which is great but I'd love to his little blue man rant
one of the photographers on morrison hotel, henry diltz, was shooting promo footage after he had shot the stills for the album cover of the band through the morrison hotel window and inside hard rock cafe. there is a clip on youtube talking about it
Wow! All of us Doors fans never saw this film clip previously. Do you know who shot it? How did you resurrect it? How come this did not appear many years ago?
I've seen this before, but only now I noticed that Jim is limping in the last scene - perhaps because of his jump from the swing? Or has it something to do with his fall from the hotel balcony?
Looks like Venice beach...I think. Back then they didn't have homelessness -- or economic terrorism -- and that's why you're not seeing what you'd see there today.
Once it's on you tube, it's not rare. Rare are the 8 and 16 mm films when he visited his relatives in Melbourne and St Petersburg, Florida before he went to California.

Jim loves those swings.
Yeah. He made sure he went over the bar.
Never seen him move so fast.
@Richard Milliken I doubt that was possible.
Good landing as well
It's the ups and downs
Priceless. One of the greatest and most mythical bands of all time.
Morrison going crazy on that swing is amusing. 😁
He was a child at heart - (like all geniuses)
@@wonder6789 but then we don't know whether the shooting camera altered his behaviour or not...
@@vinobodyseriously doubt it.

I love seeing new footage
Great footage, jim looks so carefree and happy, thanks for sharing
You mean Mr. Morrison, don't you?

Imagine taking your kid to the playground and Jim Morrison & the Doors are there 🤯
Jim's energy had to be on 24/7 - he couldn't help it.
He was kind of subdued often
he may have been fighting his impulses and over compensating for his erratic behaviour.@@notanotherjamesmurphy5574
Saw the guys in concert 3 times! Front row once. Knew Ray, met the other guys a few times...
Hi! Did you meet Jim too? Thanks!
Wow you lucky SOB!!! Wish I could have seen them! 😢
What concerts?
Would have loved to have met Ray. I am jealous 😅
Jim on a swing! Smashing.
The dislike is from Mick Jagger

Freddy Mercury did it.

Beautiful footage, holy fudge!!!!
Jim loved swinging.
Jim would be that maniac on the swings 😂❤️
Crazy, crazy man! Amazing, amazing man!!!!
Around Christmas 1969.
early 1970?
@@shanemichaels3083 DEC 69. everyone is wearing jackets for that day at the hotel, cafe & beach.
Probably was shot when they did the photo for Morrison Hotel album.?.
Yeah probably. Same outfits, right?
Awesome to see, very rare 👏
Never saw that footage before, thanks. Although already saw that wall with a POT sign. Apparently, that was a long footage.
The photo session day with Henry Diltz.
he could really go some on that swing :P
Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome. Thanks for that.
I always admired this guy so Kool 😎
Waooo excelente escena del Maestro Morrison columpiandose!!!ÚNICO Y AUTÉNTICO REY🦎
Pensé que se daría un vergazo en el piso pero era cabron, siempre buscando el riesgo, el límite, era un tipazo el jimbo
There's an Album Cover there, the four just sitting on the beach with the sailboat in the background, the fence in the foreground!!
AWESOME
I hope one day miami concert footage will emerge.
More footage of the new heaven gig with sound or even just a sound recording would be amazing they have the arrest which is great but I'd love to his little blue man rant
Me toooo!!!! That would be so epic!
Pretty sure it wasnt filmed .
Strange that how much ol jimbo was interested in film that not many of their concerts were recorded.
@@emotionalmodels8463 a lot of Drugs and madness around the Doors.back In the 60s.... especially the guy's behind the cameras and Audio recording.
Back when times where fun, now the world has melted into chaos.
This is new , first time
Good stuff. Let’s see the rest of it!
He couldn't get much higher..
😆👍
Ha ! Great comment ! Clever.
Morrison had the cutest butt ever😜
😁👍
Can anyone see the 'Chrystal Ship' out on the Pacific Ocean? I do. PEACE
Nice one wooooo🔥🔥
It has been over 40 years since this footage of the doors
Try over 50. This is December of 1969.
@@doorswhofan ok I will
Ugh ! 50 years.
I never see it.
Well where did this sneak up from ???
one of the photographers on morrison hotel, henry diltz, was shooting promo footage after he had shot the stills for the album cover of the band through the morrison hotel window and inside hard rock cafe. there is a clip on youtube talking about it
@@maxhernie8053 the photographer whose 8mm video is, is Henry Diltz! a very famous photographer of the 60s! peace people!
@@Dbalx yes thank you, the name slipped my mind!
@@Dbalx Henry is still alive aged 85 and still going strong!!
@@TerryMitchell-ib8ms indeed my friend! God bless rock n roll blood for evah

Yer it's been cut down a bit,there is a longer clip out there but bad quality
Jim Morrison Forever ❤
Little girls: *swings excellently and epicly*
Jim Morrison: Watch this!
Little girls: You are clearly the king. *hands over crown*
sounds like your lost, little girl
@@OswolseViclher i dont even rmbr making this comment and the context
I love this footage
“Pot”
What a great sense of humor
Cool to see new silent footage of The Doors.
Grown man on a swing for kids looks a little adolescent
Everyone has an inner child.
He was only 20 something remember. I’ve seen people over 30 on swings .
How cool is that !!
Wow! All of us Doors fans never saw this film clip previously. Do you know who shot it? How did you resurrect it? How come this did not appear many years ago?
Henry Dilz I think
Saw them four times. Met two of them
looks like it was filmed VERY early in the morning possibly just after daybreak
Imma cry fr
It's Jim Morrison of the world famous music group the doors don't you know.
Stay there Jim, its better there
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I've seen this before, but only now I noticed that Jim is limping in the last scene - perhaps because of his jump from the swing? Or has it something to do with his fall from the hotel balcony?
He walks like an old man.

Jim gets high…
On those swings! 😂
Best random but funny graffiti since I found a wall in east Berlin which said, "fashion is wasted poo".
😂🤣😂🤣😂
That’s me when I use swings haha can’t lie
I wish I was the one who wrote pot on the wall!
. You were crazy Jim, your a nut . gb* hard life (MULDEW)
What the shiiiiii 😂🪱
What month & year ?
December 1969
That's gold dust footage that?
Wonder what year this was filmed
December of 1969
Jim was looking for weed hahah
Back in the day, when North America had beautiful countries, instead of being riddled with crime and ugliness, from the foreigners.
Jim looks quite drunk.
Just as I suspected- Morrison was a swinger
Lol.
😁😁😁
Pot!
Lot of fumigations back then all white
Pot, kief
Robby Krieger had the worst hair in all of rock and roll.
Let it slide.....😉✌🎸
No way! That joker hair is way ahead of it's time and memorable. Jim had the sexiest hair in rock history too!
How about the guy from the Turtles? And that guy from MC5. Plus Leslie West of Mountain.
Nar.....Dave from Slade
Yeah, for sure - they shoulda got Pauly shore to play Robby in The Doors movie - he had that same wild kinky hair thing going.
Once it's on you tube, it's not rare. Rare are the 8 and 16 mm films when he visited his relatives in Melbourne and St Petersburg, Florida before he went to California.
Was waiting for the jump off the swing 😂👍
Me too!!!
