THANK YOU! Lol glad to know that i'm not the only one who has ever had this thought. I always trip out even harder when I realize he was alive during the 1960's. Like what a radical person this guy was
Wow! I was 17 now 71 and I still get goosebumps from Jim’s voice. I was so lucky to have grown up with such great music. Imagine The Doors,Jimi Hendrix,Cream, Led Zeppelin & more on an AM radio in your car all day long! It was awesome! Nothing like that will ever happen again. ❤
It was amazing that he was a natural. Never practiced, sang in school or anything. Sad that for someone so brilliant. He did amazingly stupid things, and didn't care about his health in the slightest.
He is a genius... my favorite video of him- I mean that hair is GORGEOUS!!! He actually died form a combination of asthma medication and drinking NOT heroin- he had a fear of heroin an needles and did NOT approve of his girlfriend using it. He thought drugs were 'low class' and liquor was 'high class'- he was embarrassed that he could not understand or speak even simple French while living in Paris, yet his IQ was somethinng like 173 in his teen years. He was too embarrassed to ask about the directions with the medication and couldn't read them in Paris as they were in French and that is what killed him, It saddens me people still belive the dumb stories/scenario that he took heroin because his girlfriend used it --NO he was dead set against that even wtih her, and threatend to break up with her about it in his last days.

I didn't think a great live version of "Touch Me" existed until I watched THIS! This should be in the Library of Congress to be preserved for future generations!
@@michaelreardon3958 Same. That’s when MTV actually played music videos and the Doors were on heavy rotation. I hadn’t really heard about the Doors until MTV.
It's sad his dad didn't believe that he had any talent to sing, and even more that didn't hear his songs... as a singer myself, coming from a family with an opera tenor dad, and sisters and a brother singers, I can tell you that Jim had one of the most perfect voice vibratos ever! Look at those neck muscles working with his diaphragm.
I genuinely don't think I have heard anything more beautiful than Jim's voice at 2:13! Jim was obviously a beautiful man, probably one of the most beautiful males to ever walk the earth, but I think his voice is extremely underrated! Most people don't know this, but Jim hated being known for his looks, he hated being a sex symbol. He wanted to be taken more seriously for his singing/songwriting abilities and his poetry. And that is what we should do in his memory, it's what he wanted. There is no question in my mind that he is probably the sexiest man to ever live, but let's admire him for his incredible abilities because that's what he wanted.
I am Italian and beauty comes first!If he wasn’t talented like a singer and poet, it wouldn’t matter, he had always his physical beauty like a work of art to show to the world. To me is like our David of Michelangelo but alive who walked our earth once.
Woe! Ya. I hadn't noticed that black eye until just now. I am usually as drunk as Jim Morrison was when i watch this video -but i am not as young as him anymore! :) Usually John Densmore is the go to guy about details like that. I wonder what he would illuminate.
I read an interview with Robbie Krieger in one of the guitar mags a while back and he said that he had gotten into a minor fender-bender the week of the show; hence, the black eye. He also said that he used to tell people, jokingly, that Jim hit him.
@@leilaandrews6142 Me too, so you must be right about my age. I was about 5 the 1st time I heard Jim sing and Dusty the 1st was so much like Jim M., you would never believe it, he was shot and killed tho in Cleveland as he was so pretty all the girls wanted to do him, well he never said no, well some dude was waiting for him outside the back of his van, and as soon as Dusty opened those doors he shot him with a shotgun, close range, it thru Dusty back into the van and he died right there. But Dusty was so cool and sweet, just like Jim and he would get up on our dining room table when Touch Me came on, and he would dance so original, so good and cool and he had a special belt (not conchos) but he had this different belt I have never seen since and he would put the buckle on the side of his pants, it looked cool, he was cool and I will never forget him and many of my friends from back there. That is how I got my name Dusty the 2nd. Was working at a club and there was to many girls named Cindy, so they asked me, what else can we call you, (and Dusty had only been murdered about 3 weeks) so that was on my mind each day, so I said you can call me Dusty. Well it stuck most of my life. Sorry so long. But I thought I would give you an example of the mems Jim's music brings back for me. Not all bad, just too bad. D2
Agreed. I think if he had more freedom to Express himself he would have made it out alive for a little longer. It really got to him that he couldn't do what he wanted and that led to the self destruction.....he had to face being locked up for doing what anyone can get away with now. Sad.
@@Spicuzza568 I'm not sure. I happen to agree with most of what you say, but, as the headstone his father commisioned for him said, which I think was stolen, he lived, and died, "according to his personal daemon". I sense the daemon wanted him to go with him, and leave us. Now THAT'S sad....

Sorry to burst your bubble but it was super common to mimic playing instruments on these shows at the time and the band is clearly not playing at all.

They were in a bar the night before and they were playing pool and a group of guys got mad at them and they (The Doors) all ran out the door, except Robbie got caught/left inside, and took it in the eye by some dude..Who knows the correct answer? Anyone? Cockney John? Do you know?

Jim Had tons of Charisma. Same For Bon Scott of AC⚡️DC Bon just oozed charisma. Men wanted to be them and women wanted to be with them. I miss them both. R.I.P. Legends.
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this video ... just for that grin alone after the first chorus 😘 0:53 uploaded this video mark on July 2, 2023 prior to his anniversary death ❤
I read in an interview with John Densmore that the second 'Touch me!' at 1:27 which is delayed in comparison to the studio version wasn't planned. John said he's pretty sure that Jim just zoned out for a second and forgot the words lol
made it back just in time too, great performance, i noticed in one seen, it looked like Ray was gesturing to the other musicians...maybe to "bring it on"
@@andrewwilliams9599InRay Manzarek book he said Jim totally missed the cue. And Jim was the only one live of the band at least. Robbie is sort of hamming it up with the guitar sporting a black eye from a car accident
Every time---to this day--that this tune gets to the the sax solo and all through til the end, I get MASSIVE GOOSEBUMPS--which some people would call a BIG RUSH! The way it builds and builds with all the horns joining in with the sax, the drums and the climax just blows me away! LOVE this song to death!!
What I've always appreciated about drummer John Densmore is his versatility. The Doors songs cover such a wide range of styles and beats. The song "The End" comes to mind. Densmore always found the perfect percussive match no matter how great the challenge.
Would have been 13/14 around 1974 and purchased 'Weird Scenes". Money was tight. But it was when I started breaking down instruments into their individual parts. John Densmore blew me away. The Doors are still my favorite American group. Their first two albums being as good as there last two.
I agree! Weird to think that that look really didn't become the typical rock star gear until the 80's. He was wearing leather when everyone else was wearing paisley and polyester . Morrison was way ahead of his time.
I remember watching this on the Smothers Brothers Show in 1968 when I was still a teenager. I hadn't seen this segment since then. It feels so good to watch The Doors perform "Touch Me". I still remember being surprised to see all the other musicians on the stage with The Doors. Something like that didn't happen too often. Watching Jim Morrison and the other Doors is like going back in time in a time machine. Thank you Eagle Rock.
I recently purchased Robby’s book, and the chapter on how he got his black eye was just so heartbreaking, but it also shows the type of person that he is; a man with a beautiful soul.
I’m so glad the world can see this incredible band and singer now finally thru TH-cam! Nobody today can play like the Doors and no one alive today can sing like Jim Morrison! A legendary Talent and Band!
Jim's Voice was Powerful as he lived. The Sax solo is Fantastic. The Trench of the Horns is haunting and Beautiful at the same time. You will always be Miss and loved. R.I.P. Jim You left us too soon. 😱 😩 😢 🎤
Great clip! It was truly magical being 11 years old in '68 and watching The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and seeing all this talent on that cool show!
@@acnhtunemusicvids I don't want to poo all over your parade but I think Robbie Kreiger wrote this song.; the same as Light my fire which Jim Morrison only added 1 line to ('and our love become a funeral pyre.')

I would not say no if it headed in that direction. But not my 1st goal. Nothing wrong with you being straight up. I dig that about you. Love the real deal.
the quality of this is so crystal clear its like it was just recorded yesterday. Morrison has the brooding intensity of a young Brando. If only he could have held it together longer.

The record player was inside a TV cabinet that the entire family shared. We had ONE screen in the house and three major TV channels. After listening to Beatles, someone would put on a Broadway or Jazz album. We shared.
Jim
@@acnhtunemusicvids this thing I am going to do with this one?
@@alliechannel-effectsvideos1103 yes
He was really attractive and what a VOICE!!!!!!!!!!! - enjoying in 2020!!
Outstanding live performance. "STRONGER THAN DIRT."
The time of real rockstars, everybody is wearing tux on comedy hour and Kreiger's got a black eye from a fight.
@rgtrooper13 stupid you......................comedy hour has been around way before the Doors even took there first shit. OK? Damn you r a jackass to everyone. U bully.
@Cockney John I know too, so whoops is right in the eye!!! Ha ha ha.....................I heard 3 versions, guess which one is real. 1. Car accident 2. Jim punched Robbie in the eye. 3. They were in a bar the night before and they were playing pool and a group of guys got mad at them and they (The Doors) all ran out the door, except Robbie got caught/left inside, and took it in the eye by some dude..Who knows the correct answer? Anyone? Cockney John? Do you know?
I immediately saw the black eye! 👀OK, whatever, they were amazing👍💕
@Black Vitriol No bar brawl...lol. read plenty of Doors books including.. No one here gets out alive in the 80's when it first came out... it was a bar brawl
@@dustythe2nd188 Bar brawl like you said! Number 3.. can't remember the fight ... but it was a bar brawl.. read many books on the doors sorry can't remember how... been so many years since i read one.. but he was socked in the eye in a bar.. that I definitely remember in everyone
The most charismatic front man of any band anywhere. I love this band.

Jim Had tons of Charisma. Same
For Bon Scott of AC⚡️DC Bon just oozed charisma. Men wanted to be them and women wanted to be with them. I miss them both. R.I.P. Legends.
my god...that voice..that face...that band...incomparable in every way
He's a very old soul experiencing an earthly being. Like so many like him.
💯
Im now 66 yrs old ,...seen this when first aired....stilll to this day..he looked Nuclear HOT!!"....love this...!

Jim.Morrison
Hel.lo.
I'm not gay but Jim Morrison is Jim Morrison
Tyler H. He's Smokin' hot in this video. It's been my experience that In the end big drinkers make lousy boyfriends and even worse lovers.
Really
Space station no 5 is gay
Jim jim always calling out his name
Kkkkkkk
Real instruments, real music, a real band!! Thank you Jim!! :)
Higher than the ISS and still held it beautifully. What a legend, never be another Jim.
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this video ... just for that grin alone after the first chorus 😘 0:53 uploaded this video mark on July 2, 2023 prior to his anniversary death ❤
Can you be my friend, morrisön?

Me too warched this sooo many times.. im a bit obsessed... He is my tranquility, he is a work of art in every way
R.I.P Lead Of Doors Of Jim Morrison (1943-1971) Age 27
I read in an interview with John Densmore that the second 'Touch me!' at 1:27 which is delayed in comparison to the studio version wasn't planned. John said he's pretty sure that Jim just zoned out for a second and forgot the words lol
And that's one of the ways you can tell they were actually playing live.
made it back just in time too, great performance, i noticed in one seen, it looked like Ray was gesturing to the other musicians...maybe to "bring it on"
cool little bit of knowledge cheers. was wondering what was up with that
@@andrewwilliams9599InRay Manzarek book he said Jim totally missed the cue. And Jim was the only one live of the band at least. Robbie is sort of hamming it up with the guitar sporting a black eye from a car accident
@@strangewater WHATTHEFUCK
Every time---to this day--that this tune gets to the the sax solo and all through til the end, I get MASSIVE GOOSEBUMPS--which some people would call a BIG RUSH! The way it builds and builds with all the horns joining in with the sax, the drums and the climax just blows me away! LOVE this song to death!!
John Densmore doesn’t get much recognition as should his style of drumming is incredible.
What I've always appreciated about drummer John Densmore is his versatility. The Doors songs cover such a wide range of styles and beats. The song "The End" comes to mind. Densmore always found the perfect percussive match no matter how great the challenge.
Would have been 13/14 around 1974 and purchased 'Weird Scenes". Money was tight. But it was when I started breaking down instruments into their individual parts.
John Densmore blew me away. The Doors are still my favorite American group. Their first two albums being as good as there last two.
Jim était un dieu vivant quel présence et sa voix.ce groupe reste un des premiers parmi les grands bravo.aux années 70.
Leather pants were designed for Jim Morrison
I agree! Weird to think that that look really didn't become the typical rock star gear until the 80's. He was wearing leather when everyone else was wearing paisley and polyester . Morrison was way ahead of his time.
the sexiest leather pants in universe :-D
Gothic 666 - Punk undoubtedly :)
@@the.hot.button yes, i love jims leather pants :-P ^^
He got the idea from Elvis...Jim was a huge Elvis fan
Que voz excepcional y que rostro de ángel tenía Jim...Que viva eternamente su música...
So talented, so handsome, a star , a legent...
Kallisti G., agreed on all accounts. Dusty the 2nd.
historic performance, perfect pitch and delivery
@@scottharrison3391 Yep, he's got it all.
Thank you it's not easy being a legend.
Also a legend.
I remember watching this on the Smothers Brothers Show in 1968 when I was still a teenager. I hadn't seen this segment since then. It feels so good to watch The Doors perform "Touch Me". I still remember being surprised to see all the other musicians on the stage with The Doors. Something like that didn't happen too often. Watching Jim Morrison and the other Doors is like going back in time in a time machine. Thank you Eagle Rock.
Yes, yes, yes, morrisön.

I think I was going to fall in love with this song, morrisön.
The doors is the best rock band ever rest in peace Jim Morrison ♥️🎸🇺🇸☮️
The Doors at their peak with such lush instrumentation and vocals only Jim could deliver, truly legendary..
I recently purchased Robby’s book, and the chapter on how he got his black eye was just so heartbreaking, but it also shows the type of person that he is; a man with a beautiful soul.
Yes, it is. Jim Morrison has *touched* him.
Please state briefly how he got the black eye
Yes, morrisön.
I'd love to hear how, the story behind that black eye seems like very important to me
@@humanice2 well 1st off jim did not punch him it was a apparently bunch of rednecks harassing Jim so Robbie stepped in
Everytime I listen to the doors it's like my mind transcends this reality in an infinite high of poetry and immersion
Jim had a beautiful voice.
Such a fantastic voice! Great song! DOORS THE BEST! Greeting from germany to all Doors- Fans in the world!
The great Curtis Amy on sax solo.
Legendary
Curtis Amy is not a girl soloing to the song
@@acnhtunemusicvids of course
@@alliechannel-effectsvideos1103 It's my best WHATTHEFUCK moment ever
I think Curtis is not female
Jim had a very beautiful voice ! The Doors rocked!
I genuinely don't think I have heard anything more beautiful than Jim's voice at 2:13!
wow, that is stunning.
Love Jim's voice and he's gotta be the best looking man ever born. The Doors are the greatest rock band of all.
One of the best live performance of a song....ever
I can clearly hear ole " Blue Eyes" vocal influence throughout this beautiful performance.
My current Doors Obsession is this clip.
I’m so glad the world can see this incredible band and singer now finally thru TH-cam! Nobody today can play like the Doors and no one alive today can sing like Jim Morrison!
A legendary Talent and Band!
We are sure lucky to have youtube, that is for sure. And get to watch groups like the Doors.
Yess!..The Doors....not Jim Morrison & the Doors...it was always The Doors....all great musicians

Now it's time to make noise
It's so wonderful to see this live performance and how good it sounds! That is true talent!!!
This is how I wish everything was, beautiful
How well is it known that Jim was amazingly well-read and an intellectual in his own right?
Very well known.
He had a genius IQ.
@@robinbittel9420 wiwiwiwirockyou
@@acnhtunemusicvids hahahahahahaha
I think I covered these three songs in 2008 at The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with more songs, morrisön.
Beautiful song , I love the way James sings it as well, especially this performance in particular.
One of the best live performances I have ever seen.
The best fascinating and musical genius in the world! For me is always alive. Simply the best! I love you for ever Jim!
Omg, what a talent, that orchestra and the violins were off the chain...
OHMYGOD
Man this guy really had it go in on the talent, the look, the charisma, remarkable artist.
Jim's Voice was Powerful as he lived. The Sax solo is Fantastic. The Trench of the Horns is haunting and Beautiful at the same time. You will always be Miss and loved. R.I.P. Jim
You left us too soon. 😱 😩 😢 🎤
Great clip!
It was truly magical being 11 years old in '68 and watching The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and seeing all this talent on that cool show!
I think this one of the best love songs ever written by The Doors, it's got such a positive message for lovers of all ages.
yes, morrisön.
@@acnhtunemusicvids I don't want to poo all over your parade but I think Robbie Kreiger wrote this song.; the same as Light my fire which Jim Morrison only added 1 line to ('and our love become a funeral pyre.')
I think it is, as you see, morrisön?
The saxophone soloist is highly underrated.
King Curtis ,solo
He's incredible
@@carletoncandis635 Curtis Amy, not King Curtis.
Dude brought the house down 🔥
the little smile...🥰😍. i've never seen him smile--like the other songs he's always looking so intense. boy did i miss some great days--y'all were lucky if u saw him perform live --musta been amazing ✨✨✨✨✨✨💗
He was a beauty!
Definitely a new dimension to the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Great Horns and Strings, an over all awesome and epic performance. After 50 years, it is not only Historical but Legendary. A great look at the Doors back in 1968.
RIP Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison. Ray's amazing piano and piano bass and Jim's vocals make this song have a wicked hook. Great song.
There's nothing I don't like about that song, best sax solo to end a song ever!!!
This is magical....Jim's big wild child voice with a orchestral arrangement!
Now this was art and power perfection!
Hellllllo, morrisön.
As you see...
Jim.
I so love Jim Morrison, even if he is before my times, and I so feel in love with his face too
Rest in peace jimmy. You were so beautiful.
Free Bee, yes he was a beautiful man inside and out. Dusty the 2nd.
Who's says I'm resting? Don't you know I'm a shaman did you think I wouldn't return in another body as fast as I could come back especially when the new zodiac sign is near it's crossing I wouldn't miss out on it for anything.
Thats why you don snort heroin kids
And Manzarek

Cool when it happens, eh?🤠
Jim was high as a kite in the performance. I find it very amusing. Love that guy.
I'm not ashamed to say that I would totally be a backstage lover for Jim ..
If you are married when you said that it would be a sin..
I'm laughing out loud!!
You and every woman on earth
@rgtrooper13 Are you and badass up there related?
Can't get a woman? Need one built for you?
You sound a bit jaded. Take some mushrooms and put on The Doors debut album. You'll see the world in a whole new light.
Whitney B. Apparently you are not alone. I would love to sit and have a few beers with him and pick his brain & get to know the real Jim if I had my way. I would not say no if it headed in that direction. But not my 1st goal. Nothing wrong with you being straight up. I dig that about you. Love the real deal.
@@lunachickfringe5319 Girl you said it right! Hell to the yes!!! Lovin it. Funny shit.
All those musicians are amazing !! This is when music was authentic!
the quality of this is so crystal clear its like it was just recorded yesterday. Morrison has the brooding intensity of a young Brando. If only he could have held it together longer.
Just incredible..great look, great song, great production, great energy...over 50 years ago and far ahead of anything within the last 20 years
My favorite band then and now.
Super cool..use to watch the Smother Brothers..with my parents..back in late 60`s..good times
Kids nowadays should be taught history in music at school and show them these type of videos. We are lucky to have footage of this amazing bands.
Yes, morrisön.
