Funny Fact: I had a liver transplant caused by a blood disorder similar to sickle cell. My Hematologist (blood doctor) was a student at USC in the 1960’s and a roommate of one of the Doors (either Robbie or John). As he told me, 4 of them went on a road trip to central California in a 2 seat Porsche so it was crowded. Somewhere on the road, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, they stopped at a convenience store which also had live bait. Three of them bought soft drinks and snacks. Jim Morrison bought live crickets 🦗 in a matchbox type container. The four get back in the car and the crickets get loose in the crowded car!! They pulled over in the middle of nowhere to look for these crickets! Well, they found a few but then, Morrison was missing!! 😂😂😂 True story, according to my Doctor.
I haven't stopped loving their music in 50 years. You two are so fun to watch - you have such different a way to express how in to the much you are into it!
so pleasing to see you 'get it'. you are experiencing the fact that during this era, bands never sounded like another - each created new aural worlds...'the doors' world is very unique...
A lot of the Bands like the beach boys & mamas & Papas, Birds, etc...couldn't play their instruments, used a Studio Band called The Wrecking Crew. Watch the movie on you tube called the Wrecking Crew.
You're right, guys, this is definitely hypnotizing. I love this song and it is hard to believe that it is from 1967! The Doors are brilliant and it's so good that they managed to create this sound, fantastic. Thanks so much for your reaction, guys, really enjoyed it.
The bass lines were created by Ray using a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass and the melody with a Vox Continental and this is what you would hear when they were live....however, when they recorded the album, Larry Knechtel ('The Wrecking Crew' and later 'Bread') played a Fender Precision Bass to overdub Ray's bass line to give it more prominence.
You guys are adorable!! Sooo enjoyable to watch, love your channel and love your reactions!! Doors are incredible, so many great songs, Patrick and George you Rock!! 🤘✌️😊
Fantastic tune! Check out The Doors performing this on The Ed Sullivan Show. Jim had promised Ed and the censors that he wouldn't sing the line "Girl We Couldn't Get Much Higher", but ofcourse he sang it. The Doors were never invited back, but that was quite alright by them. Just really cool footage. Next? "Love Her Madly".
@@sharonpate5481 I think in the movie it was emphasized, but the actual irl performance he just sang as usual 😊. th-cam.com/video/zvTej0Kxpzk/w-d-xo.html But Love Her Madly is my favourite❤️
And the message was conveyed to them that Ed Sullivan was furious and said they would never be on "The Ed Sullivan Show" again, to which Jim Morrison responded, " ‘Hey, that’s okay - we just did the Ed Sullivan show."
@@jemxs I saw him on the Ed Sullivan Show and Jim looked straight through that lens and made a point of say “higher”. The Sullivan show gave them some flack, but hey, they’d already done Sullivan live. They were on to better things ☮️♥️🤘🏽👵🏼
Love your channel guys! I share it with my buddies. We’re all up there in years, so we get a kick out of watching your reactions. Love your Zeppelin reactions especially! Cheers ✌️❤️🇨🇦
A small correction: "You said heaven from 4 instruments" its only 3. Ray Manzarek is playing the bass parts on the keyboard with his left hand, while he plays the melody with his right hand.
Not to nitpick, but: Manzarek is actually playing two separate instruments, a Fender Rhodes Bass on his left, and whichever model organ he was playing on his right. Add guitar and a drumset and you've indeed got four instruments.
Oh, and Martin Taylor said below that Wrecking Crew studio bassist Larry Knechtel overdubbed his bass part for the recording of the album. (Larry replaces Ray's bass part, maintaining still 4 instruments.) He also says that the organ is a Vox Continental.
Back in the day, when this first came out, everyone could get much higher. This song takes me right back, the smoky pub, the gin and the beer, people swaying in many directions. What days they were.
Not true. They used a Bass Player in the studio. It never was a foot pedal. Ray played the bass lines with his left when they played live on a Rhodes Organ. Do your research before you write.
You are discovering the beauty of the creative music from this era which has now ended. This song takes you an a beautiful journey and I'm glad that you appreciate this music and are keeping it alive.
Great music. Way before MTV. It was hard to get the full version played on most radio stations. If you want to go on a journey, listen to In-A-Gadda -Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly.
Jose Feliciano did a beautiful Latin flavored cover of this back in the 60s that was a huge hit for him. Every bit as popular as this version at the time. Check it out.
Hi guys…..Helene here. Since you both seem to like psychedelic rock so much….you need to react to the granddaddy of all psychedelia…..In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida by the band Iron Butterfly. Back in 1968, BEFORE Meddle by Floyd,, psychedelia was mainly, at least for my crowd, The Doors, Hendrix, Country Joe and the Fish, The Moody Blues, allot of The Beatles music AND In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida. It’s long, but not quite as long as the live Dazed and Confused…..and believe me, it is a TRIP. George…it will most definitely “blow your mind”. 😜
The guy on the right in the white t-shirt is just like me when I listen to music. He really immerses himself into music. The facial expressions, air drumming with the hands and the closing of his eyes.
In the bridge from their song LA Woman Morrison repeats the phrase "Mr. Mojo Risin'," which is an anagram of his name "Jim Morrison" ♥️🔥🔥🔥♥️ The mastery of Ray Manzarek on keys 🎹
LMAO!!!!! Hahahaha......lol.....hahahaaha....and you wonder why people love "The Doors" Just listen this song and they have a way that trips you out into another dimension!!! Wow!!! Watching you guys reaction was Priceless!!! George's eyes were still closed 3 minutes after the song stopped!!!! Hahaahaha.....lol....hahaaha....and watching Patrick fall in Love with The Doors was Classic!!!! And Patrick has an AMAZING voice!!! He should be singing in a Rock band or Jazz Band!!!! Love to hear him in a group!!!
You should listen to The End by them. If you have ever seen the film Apocalypse Now it was used at the beginning during the opening scene with the helicopters.
Ray Manzarek, good GAWD LORD ALMIGHTY!!! I honestly think his body of work actually puts him at the summit of Mount Olympus upon the Throne of the golden age of synth/organists... I am going to steer the ship out of the mainstream, maybe next Doors reaction should be "The Crystal Ship"...
LOVE your reactions because you so obviously deeply appreciate good music! It’s fun to watch you loving the songs I grew up with. I saw the doors live back then it was incredible! Somebody mentioned In A Gadda Da Vida by iron butterfly. The long version of course! It’s 17 minutes. PLEASE consider doing that. You will be completely blown away!!!!!!!! Thank you! You guys are awesome!!!
Not sure if they realize The Doors did not have a Base player. Base is done on keyboard while he is also playing the lead. So left hand is on a keyboard and the other hand in on a different keyboard stacked on top.
Have you guys ever heard any Hawkwind? 'Masters of the universe' is a very hypnotic album, the first song on the album is also called masters of the universe and I could probably vibe to that until my dying day
Here's a psychedelic epic from 1969 for you - "Who Do You Love" by Quicksilver Messenger Service (recorded live at the Fillmore) - 25 minutes of great stuff with John Cipollina and Gary Duncan twin lead guitars and an incredible bass solo by David Freiberg: th-cam.com/video/PDIkBtKOq1I/w-d-xo.html
Ray Manzarek’s keyboard work was breakthrough greatness. Guitarist Robby Krieger wrote this song when he was 19.
the DOORS produce a vibe that is unmatched by any other band....a mood only they can set.....
Yeeeeees!!!!!!!
1967 boys and it sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday
The 60's,followed by the 70's guys.
Sorry you missed the party.
It was fucking great.
Jim vocally was a natural Baritone. By yeah, he could hit those high notes too.
Doors music doesn't age,fresh today as in 1967
I am a baby boomer and so grateful we made great music to pass on to the younger generations. This song was really big back in the day.(1967)
The "Lizard King" lives on as long as people keep playing his music. I love your reactions, keep on Rocking.🎶🎵🎶🎵

The Wrecking Crew. Watch the movie on you tube called the Wrecking Crew.
When I was on active duty in the US Navy in Washington DC in 1968-69, Admiral Morrison, Jim Morrison's father, was my commanding officer!

True
There are so many songs from this era that are truly magical. No substitute for talent and musicianship, both of which are in low supply these days.
That's what I'm talking about. 😊✌💙
Love this song.
Another genius artist destined to remain forever young.
I'm 67 and still listening right from the beginning.
You guys are adorable!! Sooo enjoyable to watch, love your channel and love your reactions!! Doors are incredible, so many great songs, Patrick and George you Rock!! 🤘✌️😊

Sunday's: Church, Pot Roast, and Ed Sullivan.
robbys guitar is also a killer in this song
The first album I purchased as a 9 yr. old boy ...still enjoying them 50+ yrs. later, thanx for sharing.
Love your channel guys! I share it with my buddies. We’re all up there in years, so we get a kick out of watching your reactions. Love your Zeppelin reactions especially!
Cheers ✌️❤️🇨🇦
Nice avi,,,,👍👅
🎸💯🤯 The Doors are amazing‼🔥🤟
RIP Jim Morrison. ❤🕊🙏
Doors aren’t the favorite band but they have that thing that brings me to some upside down world more than other bands.
Pink Floyd will do that to you too!
Love Her Madly, Love me Two Times, and Break on Through are 3 more amazing Doors songs :) They're my favorite band by far
Robbie wrote Love her Madly & Love me 2 times.
Two wild and crazy guys.
You got lost in the sause bros.. lol love love the Doors! Watch Jim sing this live! 😍
I love the Doors…Light My Fire…my favorite song of his!👍👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
A small correction: "You said heaven from 4 instruments" its only 3. Ray Manzarek is playing the bass parts on the keyboard with his left hand, while he plays the melody with his right hand.
Really! I didn’t know that, it makes that fabulous keyboard playing even more impressive!
Not to nitpick, but: Manzarek is actually playing two separate instruments, a Fender Rhodes Bass on his left, and whichever model organ he was playing on his right. Add guitar and a drumset and you've indeed got four instruments.
Oh, and Martin Taylor said below that Wrecking Crew studio bassist Larry Knechtel overdubbed his bass part for the recording of the album. (Larry replaces Ray's bass part, maintaining still 4 instruments.) He also says that the organ is a Vox Continental.
In the studio they also had a actual bass player following Ray
Organ brings all of us back to the late 60s and early 70s. What a vibe that organ gives.
Robbie's guitar work reminds me of surf guitarist Dick Dale who used middle eastern scales.
Back in the day, when this first came out, everyone could get much higher. This song takes me right back, the smoky pub, the gin and the beer, people swaying in many directions. What days they were.
Well look what I found the Doors!!!!! Yeeeeees!!!!!!
Bass line provided by Ray Manzarak, keyboard player, with a foot pedal on the organ. The Doors had no bass player, except occasionally, in the studio.
Not true.
They used a Bass Player in the studio.
It never was a foot pedal. Ray played the bass lines with his left when they played live on a Rhodes Organ.
Do your research before you write.
Jazz meets rock n' roll
IAM THE LIZARD KING... I CAN DO ANYTHING 🦎... superb as usual lads.. Awe the best fae a hot sunny glesga

Great music. Way before MTV. It was hard to get the full version played on most radio stations.
If you want to go on a journey, listen to In-A-Gadda -Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly.
Live version
Jose Feliciano did a beautiful Latin flavored cover of this back in the 60s that was a huge hit for him. Every bit as popular as this version at the time. Check it out.
I saw Jose Feliciano in Seattle 1968. Just wonderous. So creative with voice matching guitar work. Love Jose Feliciano.
I’m boutta hear this lol
Classic!!!

Don't forget Spirit.
Yes, you must react to this song. It was an intricate part of the era...
@@dennisharper5425 didn’t know they were in that genre….don’t know allot of their catalogue.
thank you!
To the organ player Ray Manzarek, I love you and always will❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jim Morrison famously said “I don’t sing, I scream”
LA. Woman and Love Her Madly two more great songs!
Hi there, they've already reacted to LA Woman - hope you can find it. Cheers.
Super reaction, guys, once again...
Hearting again. ❤️
The guy on the right in the white t-shirt is just like me when I listen to music. He really immerses himself into music. The facial expressions, air drumming with the hands and the closing of his eyes.
Love this channel just for the fact that they react to one of my favourite band !!!!!!
you would be amazed at the amount of weed we smoked jammin to this groovy tune back in the day - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
In the bridge from their song LA Woman Morrison repeats the phrase "Mr. Mojo Risin'," which is an anagram of his name "Jim Morrison" ♥️🔥🔥🔥♥️ The mastery of Ray Manzarek on keys 🎹
Doors are good....😘😎☮️🇺🇸♥️

Good music helps your soul, perfect track
Great reaction! Funny you mentioned 'commercial' - Jim threatened to sue GM auto for using this on one of their commercials!
Jim stopped Buick from using the song in a car commercial.
LMAO!!!!! Hahahaha......lol.....hahahaaha....and you wonder why people love "The Doors" Just listen this song and they have a way that trips you out into another dimension!!! Wow!!! Watching you guys reaction was Priceless!!! George's eyes were still closed 3 minutes after the song stopped!!!! Hahaahaha.....lol....hahaaha....and watching Patrick fall in Love with The Doors was Classic!!!! And Patrick has an AMAZING voice!!! He should be singing in a Rock band or Jazz Band!!!! Love to hear him in a group!!!
You haven't lived until you've heard Mae West sing this song. 🤣
Man! I LOVED Mae West!! ❤
I can still hear my Dad yell from my parent's bedroom: "Carla, turn the radio up!"
Hell yeah bros!!¡ the Lizard King!! RIP Jim and Ray. I am rocking out to this man, with you guys! Thx bros once again
this was a ride!
Always loved that album cover, too, inventive.
Mr Mojo RISIN
One of a kind!
Did you know that’s an anagram of Jim Morrison
this song celebrates life we must never forget the beauty of being alive
The first long song on radio that broke through the 2 1/2 minute song. People loved it.
I'M 65 old man , i return in my 20 years period in one seconde and i live there again for 7 :15 minutes ,thanks , DOORS for always
Takes me back to summer of love.
Try Soul kitchen, you guys are gonna love that song
Top 10 song of all time in rock/pop history.
Summer 1967....ahhhhh!
You should listen to The End by them. If you have ever seen the film Apocalypse Now it was used at the beginning during the opening scene with the helicopters.
I just noticed your Freddie Mercury dolls down there. They make me laugh and smile. You guys are a hoot!!!☮️☮️
You guys are so honest and direct, I love your show. Thank you very much.
I think the lead singer in this band might have a future.
The Doors broke the 21/2 minute on radio.
Mmmmm, my generation ☮️❤ Love and peace ☮️
Ray Manzarek, good GAWD LORD ALMIGHTY!!! I honestly think his body of work actually puts him at the summit of Mount Olympus upon the Throne of the golden age of synth/organists... I am going to steer the ship out of the mainstream, maybe next Doors reaction should be "The Crystal Ship"...
THE DOORS!
Love this!
Another great reaction guys! You can almost smell the patchouli
This song lights my fire🔥🔥♥️🔥
One of my favorite rock songs from those times!
If you haven’t reacted to it yet you gotta react to the changeling, soft parade , roadhouse blues and so many more
Amazing amazing amazing music
Pink floyd set the control for the heart of the sun live pompei next react pleaseee 🙏is just fantastic 🙏
Great reaction, you should react to one of the Doors live performances
I'm digging that Beatles shirt Patrick!
LOVE your reactions because you so obviously deeply appreciate good music! It’s fun to watch you loving the songs I grew up with. I saw the doors live back then it was incredible!
