This was from the Doors first album, possibly the greatest album in history. This album went gold *BEFORE* it was released. The long version of Light My Fire is fantastic but The End is just plain epic.
i think it is one of the best debut albums, along with Piper at the Gates of Dawn for that era as far as first albums, and one of their best, along with LA Woman,
Great post! Going gold in the 60’s wasn’t like today. Record companies had to print the vinyl records and consumers had to go to the record stores and ask for the albums by name. That’s why The Monkees named one of their albums Head because they wanted people to ask the record store employees to give them Head. I swear that’s true! Now consumers can download songs so any song can go gold in minutes.
I love the doors! SERIOUSLY guys you have to do L.A WOMAN next,it's an absolute masterpiece ,off their last album and it's a side to his voice you probably haven't heard yet
This song was written in1965, after Jim's love for soulfood from a restaurant, named Olivia's at Venice Beach, California. He references sleeping in the kitchen during a period of drunken nights and early mornings. Great tune. Jim's great vocals and the band capturing your minds. Revisit Jordan. You'll love it. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I never knew this was a reference to a real kitchen! I always thought it was only a metaphor. Is the restaurant still there? I'd love to eat there one day.
Wow! I remember Olivia's Kitchen at Ocean Park and Main Street, actually in Santa Monica. My friends and I - economically challenged students that we were - would go there and eat for about $1.50 a meal, and it was deelish! I never knew this song was connected to Olivia's. One other side note, I saw the Doors with Jefferson Airplane at the long lost Cheetah, which was in Venice, when I was in high (no pun intended) school, the ticket was probably about $2.50.
Yes, Amber!!!! You are 100% right. Jim wrote a ton of poetry. He has poetry books. I love this song because the writing is magical and mystical. He really saw himself as a poet. When I was 17, I made sure to see his grave in Paris. He is magic.
I owned a book of his poetry when I was in high school. Way back in the 70's. I wish I knew what happened to it. My sister was very preppy and this band scared her.
@@RitaBowen1 “he is magic” Don’t idolize anyone. I like the band and their music and his voice and his lyrics but they are all fallible just like everyone else.
Two great live performances from The Doors are "Gloria" and "Who Do You Love". Also another great song to check out is "The Changeling", from their album L.A. Woman.
Awesome tune! I play this, When The Music's Over, Peace Frog, Soft Parade and Riders on the Storm every year for my middle school ELA classes on Music Mondays.
@@BaccarWozat lots of stuff. Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Rush, Eddie Brickell, Metallica, select Frank Zappa songs (gotta be careful with him lol)... Im a metalhead that turned 18 in 89. I am a musician so Im much more eclectic than my friends of that day.
It's not live, but Peace Frog is such a great song. For live, there are some good versions of Back Door Man on TH-cam. I'm hoping you get to The Doors on the movie channel someday. Val Kilmer (Iceman and Doc Holliday) kills it as Jim.
And over exaggerated depiction of Jim Morrison (even the other band members of the doors agreed in that matter) but nonetheless Val Kilmer Performance Was Absolutely Unbelievable!
Morrison always seemed to consider himself a poet first. That's why his lyrics were the way they were and so difficult for most to understand yet really compelling nonetheless.
Yes! Keep up the Doors music, guys. Check out "The End" or "When the Music's Over" live from the Hollywood Bowl. For studio tracks y'all should do "Not To Touch the Earth", "Crystal Ship", "Moonlight Drive", "L.A Woman", or "Waiting for the Sun".
First and foremost Jim Morrison was An American Poet who felt he lived on the edge, or to be more precise, at "the Doors" between this world and what ever comes after, (a great book to read "No One Here Gets Out Alive" Filmmaking was also his passion in college where he met Ray Manzarek and the words and music just worked in a most unique and haunting way that it was a candle that burned very brightly while it lasted. Props and respect to Robby Kreiger and John Densmore for being amazing at what they did for that band too!
The Doors are of my generation. I was in my early twenties in 1967. I was an au pair from Denmark in Westport Ct. Dated a university of Miami student, who was very much into photography. I have always loved the Doors. I have the book "No One gets out here alive", in the book there is a picture of Jim Morrison with a baby lamb, many years later I found out the guy I dated, Jeff Simon, took that picture, he was also a witness at the Miami trial of Jim Morrison, because he was at that concert and took pictures.
This song came off of the first Doors album. I took my girlfriend to see the Doors and Stepenwolf at the Hollywood Bowl. They did this song, which is one of my favorite Door’s songs. They made a live album of this performance. At this time the Doors were huge, and just had a #1 hit from this Album called “Light My Fire” which is an all time classic.
Very cool, I never saw the doors might’ve been too young, but I did see Steppenwolf in Huntington Beach and it was great because I loved Steppenwolf and they played all the songs I liked.. right on brother have a great day
@@420johnas Wow! We used to hang out at the Huntington Beach pier when we were teenagers. If you lived in Southern California you had a chance to see all the famous groups. I saw Jimi Hendrix at the Anaheim convention center and 3 Dog Night. I got to meet and talk with Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys on the Sunset Strip. Those were wonderful days before the politicians ruined California.
Southern California was a great place to grow up. I saw a lot of concerts back in the day I saw Steppenwolf and Tommy Tutone at the Golden Bear in HB and saw one of my favorites Eric Burdon live at Knotts berry farm at the covered wagons check it out freaking Eric Burdon sang in the covered wagons at Knotts berry farm about 1981 and of course we knew somebody who worked there and we got him for free.. we lived in a different world
I had a major crush on Jim Morrison! I was 14 when he died. Broke my heart! I've always been a fan, and passed his music down to my youngest who turned 40 today! I'm glad he appreciates The Door's like his mama does!
soul kitchen is about an all night soul food restaurant in L.A., venice, they used to frequent....the restaurant stayed open late, i dont know,if it was open 24 hours, but jim wanted to sleep there, he didnt want to leave....just drink coffee amd read books, , amd eat bbq samdwiches and corn bread...thats all, just a mellow, artsy song, full of little poems "ur fingers weave quick minorettes, speak in secret alphabets, i light another cigarette, learn to forget...learn to,forget.....let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen, warm my mind to your gentle stove"
"Your fingers weave quick minarets (steeples) Speakin' secret alphabet" That line is about somebody from the diner who was deaf and spoke in sign language.
Amber, " His lyrics are so poetic" He WAS a POET! Read about him online. Moonlight Drive is one of their first songs that Jim took from his poetry and made it into a song.
This was off The Doors' debut album, which also contained "Break On Through". If you want more of their early early sound, check out "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)", "Back Door Man" or "The End".
A great Doors Banger is “Peace Frog in to Blue Sunday” (the next song). Jay the guitar solo sounds like a sax solo it is so intense. And Amber the poeticness of the lyrics will turn u on fo sho
It might be best if you start your broader Doors education with Oliver Stone’s terrific and popular 1991 biopic THE DOORS, starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison (including vocals! Val actually sings as Jim and is frighteningly close to his exact sound!). Not only is it an incredible film that features the band’s music throughout (and you’ll get a good glimpse of how they performed as a live band) but it shows much of the overall insanity of the late 60s and early 70s and is truly unforgettable. Plus it has Billy Idol in a small supporting role! But if you see it you’ll be exposed to so much of their music in a relatively short time, and you’ll have a better overall picture of how their music progressed over the brief period they were together, and you’ll get an idea of what other songs of theirs you want to listen to more closely for this channel.
The Doors have been my favorite for the last 39 years of my life, and I am only 45. 😆 It makes me giddy every time you react to one of their songs. Here are some more Doors suggestions: Spanish Caravan, Five to One, The Crystal Ship, The Unknown Soldier, Alabama Song, Moonlight Drive, Back Door Man, and Love Street, to name some. Funny story - I became obsessed with Jim Morrison at age 5 when my Dad and I were watching an old concert series that used to be on MTV in the early 80's and I would always ask, "are they still alive?" When my Dad informed me that Jim Morrison was dead, that was it, I was obsessed - don't know why. But, as a teen, I presented a persuasive speech about why Jim Morrison was still alive, and while all my friends had posters of New Kids on the Block on their walls, I had a 10'x10' canvas of Jim Morrison. Good times. 🤣 Though I no longer believe he is alive, I still adore him and the band.
That’s awesome! Great playlist too! Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin died a month apart in 1970 and Jim died 9 months later in July 1971, all members of the 27 club! I’m a huge Rush fan so I’m all about Freewill. I appreciate their contribution to the world of music, how many people they entertained and inspired, how many memories have their music as a soundtrack in my head, but I wish they had chosen to be less selfish and not do as much poison as they consumed so they could’ve stuck around longer, but that was their choice, it was their life, and I’m glad I lived in the same time as them.
I too discovered the doors from a young age,best thing that ever happened! Some other great doors songs that are my favs are peace frog,the changeling,been down so long,cars hiss by my window,not to touch the earth and so many many more.
Live Doors...anything from the Hollywood Bowl concert; The End which was done for Canada tv in Toronto; When the Music's Over which was live in Holland.
I dig that you were drawn to the guitar. Robby Krieger was their guitarist, he wrote light my fire at age 19, which has sold well over 100 million records. I think Robby has yet to get his truly deserved props.
u guys have to do the song L.A. Woman by the doors....i just checked, it doesnt look like u have yet...its a reactor staple, and if u like what youve heard from them so far, youll love it cuz its literally their masterpiece to end all masterpieces...its completely insane and cogent at the exact same time
The song Soul Kitchen is a tribute to the soul food restaurant Olivia’s Place, which stood at Ocean Park & Main Streets in Santa Monica, California. Santa Monica is a town next to Venice Beach, where Jim (mostly) lived while a student at UCLA. Jim often hung out at Olivia’s, studying, writing, and contemplating the world he saw. He, like many students, frequently stayed at the restaurant until closing hours, when the staff would be closing down for the night, thus the lyrics let me sleep all night, in your soul kitchen.
"Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise" Just ONE snippet from the , in Amber's correct description "super-poetic" mind (and , well, soul) of Jim Morrison. A Top Ten Rock Lyricist List would have to include him, Neil Peart, Dylan (of course, tho that may be stretching "rock") Lennon/McCartney, Pete Townsend (Hint: Do more The Who!), Don Henley and others, but Morrison was the Real Literary Deal. Want another cool, funky, poetic Doors song? "Peace Frog," y'all! Peace out!
Now that you've done this song, you should listen to Weird Al Yankovic's song "Craigslist". Ray Manzarek (keyboards) from "The Doors" plays basically this song, while Weird Al changes the lyrics to his song. It's my favorite Weird Al song.
Jim wasn’t a singer who wrote poetry. He was a poet who just happens to sing. If you want a great song check out Alabam Song (Whiskey Bar) or the epic the End
Another great and under appreciated artist is Dan Fogelberg his song Tucson Arizona (Gazette)is amazing and I don't think anyone else on TH-cam has reacted to this one definitely worth checking out
*I feel a movie reaction coming...of the movie 'The Doors' starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison; who played Ice Man in Top Gun, and Doc Holliday in Tombstone.*
Such a great band with a unique blues sound. Loved them growing up. Not sure where to post suggestions, so will drop one here: John Prine , that’s the way that the world goes round. Great song writer and great person. Big in the 70s on Austin city limits and in a movie with John Mellencamp. Truly enjoy your show, catch you videos every day, never heard soul kitchen before glad caught todays show.
I think I’ve told you guys, this was the first album I bought at the age of 14 with my first months paperboy money. What a way to start a musical journey. The Doors album is close to my heart.
Please remember that your job here is to experience and FEEL real music, NOT CRITIQUE IT...who the F are you???????????????? ur not even a musician... just enjoy it GOD DAMN!!!!
They have literally a super album called "In concert" that it is like a best of (hate those bands) but this is really good, a super double album live!!!
Jim Morrison was the prototypical ROCK STAR. He had it all, including the fatal flaws, and he ran with it without using the brakes. The others in the band were also incredibly talented. Personally I think The Doors hold up better than pretty much any other 60's bands. These guys were decades ahead of everyone else.
I'm so bummed rob you didn't like Soul Kitchen it's so catchy so groovy soulful so catchy I don't understand how you can't like that song but to each their own have a beautiful day!
I know you guys Loved Doc Holliday in Tombstone. The actor, Val Kilmer, also played Jim Morrison in The Doors movie. People probably mentioned it already but just in case. That should be one of your movie reactions.
I always thought this was one of his best verses: "Fingers weave quick minarets/Speak in secret alphabets/I light another cigarette/Learn to forget"...Who else rhymes minarets and alphabets?
You guys recently reacted to the movie Tombstone with Val Kilmer.. If you like The Doors you should definitely do a movie review of the movie the doors starring Val
This was from the Doors first album, possibly the greatest album in history. This album went gold *BEFORE* it was released. The long version of Light My Fire is fantastic but The End is just plain epic.
Love The End!! It's absolutely mindblowing!!!

Don’t idolize anyone. I like the band and their music and his voice and his lyrics but they are all fallible just like everyone else.

In my opinion Robby Kreiger is a very underrated guitar player. Everyone in The Doors were phenomenal
Love Robby Kriegers guitar sound♡
❤
Two great live performances from The Doors are "Gloria" and "Who Do You Love". Also another great song to check out is "The Changeling", from their album L.A. Woman.
Perfect selections!
Awesome tune! I play this, When The Music's Over, Peace Frog, Soft Parade and Riders on the Storm every year for my middle school ELA classes on Music Mondays.
For sure we must keep introducing these songs to the kids of today. Thank you. The 60's music was the best!
@@laurab68707have them listen with the lyrics in hand, then all talk about what it means. Some classes you can go deeper than others.
What do you play for your ELO classes?

Jethro Tull “My God “and Emerson Lake and Palmer “From the Beginning” Trilogy album. Can’t let these two go by.
This is my FAVORITE Doors song. So original and unique. The best.
Not that unique ...it sounds like every other The Doors song lol
Morrison always seemed to consider himself a poet first. That's why his lyrics were the way they were and so difficult for most to understand yet really compelling nonetheless.
My favorite single has to be been down so low. I think it shows the talent of the whole band
Been down so long. And That's a great song.
@@paulkruger491 ohhhh yes!👌

The best live song would be the 1969 "Roadhouse Blues". Absolute legendary performance. Jim at his raunchy, bluesy best. Must hear music!
He was a poet and has 3 books of poems out also a spoken word album called An American Prayer . which is amazing also check out the song Peace Frog
Jay/Amber, you'll love their "LA Woman" !!!
edit- guess your "Light My Fire" reaction was taken down.
I have always loved the sound of the Fender Rhodes electric piano. It was part of the Doors’ unique sound.
soul kitchen is about an all night soul food restaurant in L.A., venice, they used to frequent....the restaurant stayed open late, i dont know,if it was open 24 hours, but jim wanted to sleep there, he didnt want to leave....just drink coffee amd read books, , amd eat bbq samdwiches and corn bread...thats all, just a mellow, artsy song, full of little poems "ur fingers weave quick minorettes, speak in secret alphabets, i light another cigarette, learn to forget...learn to,forget.....let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen, warm my mind to your gentle stove"
Live at the Hollywood Bowl 1968. On the Ed Sullivan show too
Haven't seen anyone else mention it, but you should check out "Peace Frog". Totally unique and kick-ass song.
"Your fingers weave quick minarets (steeples)
Speakin' secret alphabet"
That line is about somebody from the diner who was deaf and spoke in sign language.
Amber, " His lyrics are so poetic" He WAS a POET! Read about him online. Moonlight Drive is one of their first songs that Jim took from his poetry and made it into a song.
I LOVE the Doors and Morrison!! From this album, The Crystal Ship and Take it as it Comes are my favorite
The Doors were so unique. From Morrison’s lyrics to Manzarek’s organ/bass to Krieger’s distinctive guitar, they were great. Check out Crystal Ship.
Crystal Ship is amazing. Wishful Sinful is dreamy too
This was off The Doors' debut album, which also contained "Break On Through". If you want more of their early early sound, check out "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)", "Back Door Man" or "The End".

Moonlight Drive is a must. One of the first songs Morrison ever wrote
When you listen to the Doors it's like your in the sixties. A much simpler life back then, oh how I miss those days
I was 12 when this came out and my neighbor bought this album and this was our favorites song!
Yes guys. Love this track. All the best from Scotland. So was so happy to see this :) all the best
One of the best live is 'When the music's over' from the Absolutely Live album
Many people call him "The Great American Poet". Hard to argue imo
The doors is my all time favorite band. Jim Morrison was a revelation. Thanks for reacting to them.
Jim Morrison was indeed a real poet, a poet minstrel. He wrote his own lyrics.

Love to hear some Bonnie Raitt for Female Friday. Maybe Give It Up?
Love, love this song!! Jim Morrison was amazing.

Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget..."
The End is a great song 😋..
Give it a Listen 🙂✌️♥️
Wow you did Soul Kitchen by The Doors!
You two are so open to all sorts of music which is super cool.
Keep rockin'
"Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise" Just ONE snippet from the , in Amber's correct description "super-poetic" mind (and , well, soul) of Jim Morrison. A Top Ten Rock Lyricist List would have to include him, Neil Peart, Dylan (of course, tho that may be stretching "rock") Lennon/McCartney, Pete Townsend (Hint: Do more The Who!), Don Henley and others, but Morrison was the Real Literary Deal. Want another cool, funky, poetic Doors song? "Peace Frog," y'all! Peace out!
Check out “Love Street”, then please watch the movie by Oliver Stone soon! Val Kilmer does an AMAZING job as Jim!
Peace Frog! 'Nuff said.
LOL, I just rec'd that above but just now saw your rec. Obviously a good one!
Search TH-cam for The Doors live (there's a documentary there also).
Now that you've done this song, you should listen to Weird Al Yankovic's song "Craigslist". Ray Manzarek (keyboards) from "The Doors" plays basically this song, while Weird Al changes the lyrics to his song. It's my favorite Weird Al song.
Jim wasn’t a singer who wrote poetry. He was a poet who just happens to sing. If you want a great song check out Alabam Song (Whiskey Bar) or the epic the End
Nicely put.
There are a few videos of The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968. Moonlight Ride and The End should be good.
I'm surprised you haven't reached to Light My Fire yet! It was their biggest hit!
Oh my gosh, you're right, they haven't. I just assumed that they did. Well that song is a must!
You have to see the video of them live in toronto doing the end. 1968 i believe. it's their best version of that song ever.
Morrison was the master of cool. I always thought Michael Hutchence (INXS) may have modeled himself after Jim Morrison.
Another great and under appreciated artist is Dan Fogelberg his song Tucson Arizona (Gazette)is amazing and I don't think anyone else on TH-cam has reacted to this one definitely worth checking out
Please react to The End by the Doors - their most underrated and underappreciated song
You totally DO need to see good video of them doing their thing. And you could do the biopic The Doors on your movie channel. It's a trip.
You could literally change the words with Hello I Love You and have the same song.
*I feel a movie reaction coming...of the movie 'The Doors' starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison; who played Ice Man in Top Gun, and Doc Holliday in Tombstone.*
Riders on the Storm
Can't say you've heard The Doors until you've heard ...
The Doors - "The End"
... the long version with the lights down low.
Such a great band with a unique blues sound. Loved them growing up. Not sure where to post suggestions, so will drop one here: John Prine , that’s the way that the world goes round. Great song writer and great person. Big in the 70s on Austin city limits and in a movie with John Mellencamp. Truly enjoy your show, catch you videos every day, never heard soul kitchen before glad caught todays show.
Great group to react too. Nice shirt Jay.
I think I’ve told you guys, this was the first album I bought at the age of 14 with my first months paperboy money. What a way to start a musical journey. The Doors album is close to my heart.
Please remember that your job here is to experience and FEEL real music, NOT CRITIQUE IT...who the F are you???????????????? ur not even a musician... just enjoy it GOD DAMN!!!!
They have literally a super album called "In concert" that it is like a best of (hate those bands) but this is really good, a super double album live!!!
Jim Morrison was the prototypical ROCK STAR. He had it all, including the fatal flaws, and he ran with it without using the brakes. The others in the band were also incredibly talented. Personally I think The Doors hold up better than pretty much any other 60's bands. These guys were decades ahead of everyone else.
CRYSTAL SHIP
SPANISH CARAVAN. AMBER WILL LOVE THEM!!!💋
I did a group dance to this song in 8th grade. I'm 67 now...takes me right back!!!!
I like that you are exploring the music of The Doors. Listen to The End or When The Music Is Over.
Here's a live video: The Doors Spanish Caravan (live at the Bowl '68)
For a great live performance, check out The Doors Live at the Bowl 68- The Unknown Soldier.or When the Music's Over.
It has a little Hello I Love You in it.
The live version of Roadhouse Blues (Live at the Felt Forum, New York 1970 version) is absolutely 🔥!
And Absolutely Live. Great song to end.
Try The Doors - When The Music's Over (Live At The Bowl '68)
I'm so bummed rob you didn't like Soul Kitchen it's so catchy so groovy soulful so catchy I don't understand how you can't like that song but to each their own have a beautiful day!
L.A. Woman should be next if you want that Jim Morrison grit! The Doors rock that one!
Just listen to Amber, The Doors do not disappoint. We are at the mercy of Jimmy, Ray, Robby and John - they pleasure our senses at their own whim.
I know you guys Loved Doc Holliday in Tombstone. The actor, Val Kilmer, also played Jim Morrison in The Doors movie. People probably mentioned it already but just in case. That should be one of your movie reactions.
I always thought this was one of his best verses: "Fingers weave quick minarets/Speak in secret alphabets/I light another cigarette/Learn to forget"...Who else rhymes minarets and alphabets?
You guys recently reacted to the movie Tombstone with Val Kilmer.. If you like The Doors you should definitely do a movie review of the movie the doors starring Val
Robby killn it.
Listen to THE END. He is a poet
I absolutely Love this Song🎵 and if you are talking about a serious Doors song you guys need to do WHEN THE MUSIC IS OVER!💖 A TOTAL CLASSIC! 👌
