Saw the Doors at a night club called the Cove in Worcester , MA. in July 1966. Excellant show the following week I was off to a place called Vietnam for two tours of brutal combat. I was never the same.
Jim practicing his insane scream.
How lucky!
Ray Manzarek was a customer at my family’s cafe. Juanita’s cafe in Olvera streets. He was the only person of many celebrities who have eaten there that I asked for an autograph . I told him he was a legend . I traded him lunch for an autograph! He was super cool and friendly!
What a lucky guy....!
Robbie was there from the beginning, he's just removed for dimension...
I met Ray at a DVD store on Pico Blvd called Laser Blazer in the early 2000s. He had a stack of DVDs that matched mine and we started talking about film and the whole time I was thinking, "Oh my God, I'm talking to a legend." I finally worked up the nerve and casually said, "I'm a big fan of your music." He was very gracious and we continued to talk about film and "Jimbo" and Ray's refusal to watch The Doors by Oliver Stone because he felt like it didn't honor the memory of Jim. I said that the movie had its merits and turned on a lot of young people to their music, which he appreciated. We talked about when he knew it was over, when the spirit had left Jim. He seemed very protective of him, like an older brother. His wife Dorothy finally walked up, he introduced her and they left. Sweet guy.
Great story😊
I saw Ray at a truck stop in Maine circa 83’ nice guy!
Why is nobody talking about how much Robby contributed to the band? It feels so empty without him! I think his guitar playing really helped them find their sound.
You are right , he was awesome too! Love her madly is is my favorite Robby song ,
Mr. Krieger was an integral part of the band.
That's why they hired him. They were signed to Columbia I think here
ain’t missing him here… fun recording. Robbie was great tho!
I think everyone knows enough about it to not need to talk about it. It’s pretty well known that Bob wrote light that fire and a bunch of other hits of this friggin’ band. Makes one wonder of Jemorrison was really the genius everyone makes him out to be.
Hearing demos like this makes you really appreciate the producers and the arrangers in the studios !
Supposedly, nobody was falling over themselves to sign these guys at first. Elektra? Took a big gamble. It was the band Love that suggested them.
The AI generation doesn't understand anything about real music. Get back to chat on your computers and enjoy yourself...

Demos are better, there's beauty in flaw and raw is real.
@@91okie27 The final is raw and flawed, too.
It's hilarious to go back and listen to these every once in a while. Jim sounded like he was trying to sing like Mick Jagger or something. What magic when he found his own voice.
This is what TH-cam was built for! Thanks for sharing this! What a treasure to discover and hear.

Thank you ❤️
Hello I Love You 5:30
Thanks
I found the doors whem i was 8 years old...today im still listening to them 30 years later..This music is eternal
Summer's Almost Gone is probably my favorite Doors tune, and I absolutely love this stripped down, jazzier demo version of it.
I been into The Doors since I saw the movie case in my mom and dad’s room when I was a kid. Convinced my grandma to buy me The Very Best of the Doors at Walmart when I was 14-16.
25 now and am ecstatic to see all these awesome unreleased tracks on YT. What a time to be alive.
"Hyacinth House" is a demo from much later, late 1970. You can clearly tell by the presence of guitar and the maturation of Morrison's voice.
That's a demo recorded at Robby Krieger's house, yeah 1970
ThNks for clearing this out, was quite impressed it was written already by '65
This is a pure fake!
Writer: Jim Morrison
Musicians:
--- Jim Morrison - vocals
--- Ray Manzarek - piano and vocals
--- John Densmore - drums
--- Rick Manzarek - guitar
--- Jim Manzarek - harmonica
--- Patricia Hansen (née Sullivan) - bass guitar
Genre: Psychedelic rock
Recorded: September 2, 1965
Producer: Richard Bock
Studio: World Pacific Studios, 8715 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles, California, USA
The guitar style of Robbie Krieger is missing and a terrible harmonica is playing instead. I can see why this Demo was rejected from all the labels they were shopping it around to. Morrisons voice is not the Crooner and Blues shouter he is on the Electra debut. Here he sounds like a teenager. So this is interesting to hear.
Hello I love you is clear here but that horrible Harmonica ruins it.
@@dynjarren8355 I
Great stuff. Fantastic little pickup band. Morrison and the Manzareks.
They actually got a demo deal from Columbia on the strength of this
@@roccidisopa661
Oh, I stand corrected then! Manzerak said they were rejected by every label they sent it to.
It worked out well at Electra finally. Jac Holzman was smart and knew he had lightning in a Bottle with the Doors. And Paul Rothschild and Bruce Botnick were the perfect producer and engineer for them. Botnick especially is remastering and releasing great live shows on Rhino Records.
My Doors phase started around 75' they were a big part of my youths soundtrack...hearing this is wonderful...we all have Doors origin stories in our craniums...this solidifies my origin story...
Big into Doors in ‘66.Never knew these existed in ‘65.Thanks for digging this out of the attic.
Demos are the best Thanks
Though very raw & the true genesis of band, even w/ just 3 members, the chemistry already there.
That sounds like a cover band without Krieger’s guitar and Manzarek’s fender rhodes. But we can hear the color of the Morrison’s voice.
Thanks for the sharing. 🙏
So thankful that I'm hearing this. RIP Lizard King. You are loved still.
“Go insane” is just part of “Celebration of the Lizard” to different music. I didn’t even know this demo existed. Wow.
Ya got that backwards. Jim used "Go Insane" in Celebration of the Lizard and called it A Little Game. As is heard here, the lyrics were written in '65, years before he wrote Celebration.
Brilliant. Thought I'd heard everything they ever did but this is new for me.
Spine tinglingly good.
Not the doors
@@patm5086 Who was it then?
I m very très happy
Wow - early sound before it got polished - awesome!!
Hyacinth house is the only song that doesn't belong to 1965. It's written 1970 in Robbie house. He is the one on guitar.
Also, most of this songs sing Ray and his brother Rick ( guitar) , backed with Jim M. The other brother played harmonica. Soon after demo fiasco, Ray brothers quit, Robbie joined the band recommended by John Densmore, since they were play together in previous band Psychedelic rangers
The Gods put the Doors together, as far as I’m concerned Rays organ pkayinf is the heights of bliss:) thank you!
Ladies and gentlemen!!! The doors!! Every member was awesome!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger are the band's only surviving members. 6:09
It would be more interesting if all the band members were here! 12:43
One of the greatest bands of all time.
The greatest
For me it's a toss up between Stones, up to 1972 and Doors 67 to LA Woman. Have a great day fellow fan.@@amitcohen3034

Прочута група, чаровен

Recording engineers are the unacknowledged artists of most bands. Just listen to these songs and realize how much the final product was improved by the recording engineers.
That's B.S.. Mostly producers add till an engineer is unstable. Like no harmonica? Good try. Good try.
Summer Is Almost Gone. Great song!
I met The Doors in 1989, listening a radio show viernes at night. Never knew who they were or how the looked like. LA Woman was the track. The haunting voice of Jimbo misleaded me, cos I thought he was black ha ha. That year in Christmas I asked my parents to buy me THE BEST OF, an 2 LP album; later collected their LPs originals, no reissues. Two years later, 1991, The Doors were trendy because the movie, which I saw in the very premiere. Went to see Ray and Robbie when the played with The Doors of the 21 Century in Lima. Mojo Risin!
Imádom az ilyen egyszerű,de nagyszerű hangszerelés, korabeli erősítők hangját ❤ 💫
Robby was the soul,Jim was the heart, John was the pulse, Ray, the motivator and leader
pfft...everyone knows Robby was the spleen. soul and leader mean the same thing, heart and leader pretty much mean the same thing too, but heart and soul are different. the heart is what creates the pulse by pumping blood, so I guess John wouldn't exist without Jim, and when Jim died John disappeared just like Marty McFly did, except this time they couldn't go back in time to save him, plus Marty was the guitarist, which means Robby was actually Jim the whole time. Jim couldn't pump the blood to save John which was himself, so they were out a drummer and a guitarist. Ray tried to sing but he couldn't find the right key, and protools didn't exist yet so he couldn't autotune his voice, so people stopped buying their records. so Ray lost his motivation and became an alcoholic, and without a heart or spleen he couldn't survive.
this is all common knowledge.
@@3-meo-2-oxo-pce I disagree. Robby was the liver.
Robby completely changed the dynamics of this band. On a completely different level, it was comparable to what happened between the yarbirds and Zeppelin ✌️
I think it's a little silly to chalk up the difference in sound to just Robby. There's a hundred things you can point out that are different besides "lack of guitar". The band - particularly Morrison - simply matured and honed their craft.
@@ThisBirdHasFlown ho letto il libro del chitarrista. praticamente ha creato quasi tutto lui .
Does show you just how brilliant Robby is, while showing how much energy the other three can muster just the same, even without the essential guitar. Priceless early stuff. Great chemistry.
That Spanish guitar is so important to their sound. Love the garage rock quality of this but you can see how Robbie and Jim's later baratone really fill out what the Doors became.
All of these songs are on The Doors box set from 1997. So all of these “experts” saying this isn’t The Doors must not be that big of fans.
I've been listening to the Doors since 1972 but have never heard these demos before.
I have this box set and can confirm although the tracks are all mixed randomly in with tracks from other sessions and spread across two of the four cds with nothing to signify they are from the same demo (unless it’s mentioned in the booklet which I lost years ago). Nice to have them here in the same place as it creates a pretty different vibe
@@pipelinecenter boxset, bro...
Who the hell else did you think this was?
@@timwilson755Remember? There was another demo of Moonlight Drive WITH Robby? It was the moment Robby got the gig, as the band loved his slide style. He really brought another level to the song.
@@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302 yeah its pretty sweet. I managed to locate the booklet for the boxset, it covers some basic info on all the tracks and quotes from the Ray, John, and Robby (mostly Ray) on each track. Regarding the '65 session it was recorded at World Pacific Studios in LA with Ray's brothers Rick on Guitar and Jim (Manzarek) on Harp. Ray says he does not know who is on bass.
A jewel!!! What can I say!!!!! Beautyful!!!!
Es increíble como Morrison modificó su registro vocal, parece otra persona aquí si lo comparamos con su voz en el disco "The Doors". Hubo mucho, mucho trabajo detrás por parte de Jim para madurar su voz, ese trabajo no suele ser reseñado en las biografías, ni en la película.
Es muy cierto, pero bueno la pelicula es mucha fantasia. Lo cierto es que era un grupo muy trabajador.
Sí. En 1965, 66 y 67 The Doors trabajaron muy duro, incluyendo a Jim. Ya en 1968 Jim profundizó su alcoholismo a partir de la grabación de "Waiting for the Sun" y las fechas de conciertos en vivo comenzaron a espaciarse, porque a Morrison le costaba encadenar varios con pocos días de diferencia. Pero como te digo la etapa incial de "trabajo duro" no suele reseñarse porque siempre vende más la faceta autodestructiva y transgresora de Jim.@@HermanoMuerte
En muchas ocasiones no solo cantaba, Jim, lo comentan en un documental, muy antiguo de finales de los 70s y principios de los 80s (se nota la influencia de The Animals y Eric), pero si evolucionó su técnica vocal, saludos
Yo pensaba que esta primera versión de 'End of the Night' la cantaba John Densmore, suena muy distinta a la voz de Jim.
Jim sounds Jagger like on some of these.
Imagine being the band and listening to these demos, then getting signed and produced by Paul Rothchild, then listening to THAT as compared to this...wow. Both excellent and amazing, as are the Doors. Thanks for the upload!
Listening and have smoked some Colombian pot😅 Awesome😊
Great Comment!! Thank You….
Rothchild really had a lot to do with shaping their sound it seems.. Really interesting listen but such an improvement post production.
Outstanding Doors Before Robbie Krieger Magnificent Guitar Sliding Soaring Electric Guitar! Driving Music is Doors!!!
I had The Doors boxset with all these demos. It also had another demo of Moonlight Drive WITH Robby. It really "electrified" the demo with his slide guitar.
th-cam.com/video/WHu_v7VXx5A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qJeHh1a1HNzxn96C
Demo of Moonlight WITH Robby...
Got him the gig of a lifetime.
I have that boxset also...cherished keepsake fore sure
Let it be known, this has the vibe of the times. California garage band type of sound. Even without Kreiger you can hear the beat sound that blew Manzarek away meeting Morrison. Love it. Like Crazzzy man!
It also sounds a lil Stones-y
I fell in love with the doors as a kid seeing the doors movie at my grandma's house in Tyler Texas around 1995 found out me Jim were born the same day 38 years apart parents had the same names etc as a kid I thought it was amazing and I literally grew up with the doors playing in the background
Yes it is The Doors, before Densmore and Robby came down from heaven. Morrison used his high pitch voice then. Later he found his groove switching to more of the lows. They all have recognized how Robby was the last piece of the puzzle. Indeed he was. After having little to no commercial success, Morrison was guna quit. I can appreciate this now. Before I saw their pre densmore/robby era as trash.

Replaced the harmonica player with Robby Krieger...the rest is history.
Crazy that this is as far from the present as a recording from 1905 would have been from these guys
Tranquility and so genuine!!!The Lizard King and The Boys!! Supernatural
You can hear the greatness.
this sounds incredible
Thanks for sharing! My Birthday gift 🎁 first time I am listening to this demo wow !!!
Never heard this till last nite ...freaking crazy...love how he hasn't found his true voice yet .
You can hear the importance of a good producer, like Paul Rothchild.
According to Wikipedia this is Rick & The Ravens demo - the group became The Doors when Jim & Rick Manczarek (original spelling) quit when the demo yielded no traction and Robbie Krieger joined the band.
The music of my people
Es el mejor sonido de The Doors que he escuchado, una delicia!
I don't really even like the Doors but...this is great. Yeah, it's bare bones garage punk music but it's (in my opinion) some of the best of that era. Damn, no wonder they became all time legends. This is really really great.
Looney tunes comment. Poor recording quality does not a punk record make.
The early beginnings of the band . Thanks for the upload.
Really like the energy and garage sounds of the band here. They are missing Robbie, though. Some raucous guitar playing would have really made these tunes shine. Fun stuff.
Damn.
Without a guitarist.
Beautiful.
I think what you're trying to refer to is called _"jazz"_
WOW!!! No....(NO!!!)..... psychedelics needed or required to be blown away by this!!!! (Dont even need fine wine or the smoothest Tennessee Whiskey!)😳😳😃🤯😉)
Thanks for sharing this!! (Given my "bromance" with Jim/"Jimbo", ((and even the rest of the Doors)), I would be curious if it was HIM to suggest that this music remain hidden from so many for all this time!! If so, what other wonders await us Doors/Jim/"Jimbo" fans??????
No drugs or drink is needed to enjoy anything in life
@@agentstanley29 You're right. But sometimes I ((Naively??? Idiotically???)) think that when it comes to some intoxicants, the idea of "enjoyment" is not really the goal, but rather "enhancement" or even "initiation"??
Though I will admit that when it came to my own ALCOHOL consumption, then basically "being entertained" was the goal.
But I suspect that many who are, (or have been) "captivated" by the cult of personality of Jim Morrison and/or the music of The Doors in general, have taken the idea of exploring "inner space" as "psychenaughts" somewhat seriously, and the use of mind altering substances has played a role in such pursuits??
It's interesting to me, too, that when I was much younger, I indulged in Marijuana smoking as a form of amusement/entertainment, but since with my LATER uses of that drug, quite a profound level of psychological DISCOMFORT and even just plain TERROR has come with such uses!! Which might prompt one to ask WHY take/use such things? MY answer? Respect for the Spirit(S)? To pay "homage" (for lack of a better word) to at least the IDEA of the "Dark Night Of The Soul"? To ME personally, Jim Morrison was indeed an explorer of "Inner Space", and PERHAPS wanted to get to new "inner galaxies" faster than say, The Buddha, Who supposedly reached profound levels of enlightenment/knowledge by more slower and/or more DISCIPLINED methods?????
Some may read this comment to you as meaningless babble or word salad, OR....Even as the utterances of a foolish if not misguided mystic, but since this is the music of the god
I didn't even know these demos existed. A softer sound, as it doesn't have a guitar, but it's always good to hear "new" things from the Doors.
me too, probably AI thing... the voice is hard to believe is from Jimbo
Wow! I had no idea this existed. I agree with many of you that Robby would later contribute highly to the band. Thanks so much for the post.
This sounds like very mid-sixties pop music with some beatnik bongos. Amazing how they transitioned these songs to something more psychedelic / rock. Songs like Hiacynth House are an amazing transformation.
I was thinking the same thing .So, mid beatnick. Feels like they're holding back the primal ! In a few years later... Boom
Santo TH-cam. Isso seria impossível há anos atrás...demos de bandas, discos perdidos, nem tudo é ruim no mundo hoje..
I never realized that Hyacinth House was written so early. Awesome!
This demo of Hyacinth house was recorded much later.
I feel lucky today. Thank you for sharing!
Strange but beautiful.
Crei aber escuchado todo de los doors hasta hoy , lo senti no se que o como pero tuve que repetirlo varias veces para poder digerirl@. Gracias por subirlo a las venditas redes sociales.YEEEEEY
The later version of Moonlight Drive with Robby playing that nasty slide solo makes that song. It’s so fitting…probably a Robby tweaking the song….would love to have been in the studio when Robby says, “ hey guys, let me showing something I think will make this song rock”, and their jaws drop 😮
Thank you for sharing this documentary on the contribution of Robby Krieger to the band. Not being here on this recording is the before version. Thanks again for a slice of '65.
Honestly, yes, I miss Krieger in these tunes, but I miss the sound of Manzarek's organ even more. That instrument took these songs to a whole new place, fleshed out with Robby's guitar work, it really defined the psychedelic music of that era! And that's not taking anything away from Morrison, who was an incredible frontman, and Densmore, who added a very classy, refined drive to all the songs.
wow! you can really hear right from the start that they were different - that kinda sound in 1965?? amazing that this hasn't been made public all these year til now!
How would you label this sound? Blues?
@@2degucitas stoned immaculate
"Hyacinth House" not formally recorded some six years and a half years later, amazing !! No, Robbie shows much he was an essential part of The Doors alchemy !
Not six, but five years later, in november-december 1970 (period of L.A. Woman sessions).
Actually this version of Hyacinth House does not belong to the 1965 demo session for Aura Records like the other six songs. It is a demo coming from the Morrison Hotel sessions, so it must be recorded around late 1969.
@@diegoferreiro9478 Thanks, I was hoping someone had some info on this.
So much of the Doors sucess was Jim finding his voice and the delineation between this set of recordings seems to express this
Opening chords sound a bit like Neil Young's Pocahontas.
@@garybalranald6323 i think thats just the D chord on acoustic.
Pocahontas is an interesting story by the way, not at all like fiction.
Pocahontas was one of the first in her area to convert to Christianity and is buried in England.
Really Good Early Doors Recordings 🌟 🌟
Awesome. This is absolutely amazing.
Jim's vocals are fantastic and raw on these tracks and Ray's background tracks fit well also. This shows just how much the blues influenced their music. This is a very vintage sound and such a treasure. Who is playing harmonica? Thanks for sharing these!!
i guess it's Ray's brother, jim according to some interview of Ray.
These guy are always great
Never heard these before. You tube is doing good to find some of these true artist.
FANTASTIC!!!
Muito bom , essa gravação esta diferente , nunca tinha escutado .... parabéns
Robby Krieger is not with the band, yet, on these demos. Ray's brothers, Jim and Ron add the harmonica and guitar parts, and Patty Sullivan plays bass. Jim, John and Ray make up the Doors, at this time. The Manzarek brothers left the band in Nov, 1965, and Robby stepped in shortly after.
From 9/2/65 at World Pacific Studios Los Angeles
Jim Manzarek played the mouth harp and Patty Sullivan played the bass guitar. It really sounds raw and in my opinion it’s no surprise that no labels were interested in the Doors- outside of a half-assed contract with Columbia Records. Jim’s rich baritone voice had not yet developed and Robby Kreiger had not been invited to join the group.
Ive been collecting The Doors since the 70s on vinyl. In the 80s came Napster. My Doors live collection is HUGE as well as other oddities. Have to check if this is in there. This is great stuff. Went to Paris after Jim passed. I have pics laying on his grave. Some big American came over, and i thought he was upset, but he was like, ' Thats so cool man, Jim would have loved that! Jim would have dug thatman!' It was an experience!
Napster is 90s?
Idols! 🙄

ジム・モリスンのボーカルもメジャーデビューしてからの印象と違って初々しくて尚且つ荒々しい歌い方が特徴的で、バンドの演奏も粗削りですけどその後のマスター・レコーディングに通ずる「型」がほぼ出来上がっているのに驚かされます。多くの人達が言うようにパンクロックっぽい感じが出ていますね。「go insane」は後にライブ録音されたテイクよりも狂気を感じます。「Hyacinth House」は民族音楽ぽい仕上がりでいずれにしても時代を先取りしたロックサウンドに出来上がってたんですね。
claro.
