My Friend, you just added the name of easily one of the Top 10 Greatest Classic Rock Bands of all time. Seeing their name in your playilist puts a huge smile on my face, again. Thanks. TOO COOL
@@richsmith6422 I know some that say The Doors are the Great Classic Rock Band Of All Time. I never try to argue on issues like that. So many great bands.... #1 The Beatles... #2 The Rolling Stones.... after them it is wide open.
This is the song that, if you'll pardon the bad pun, really lit the fuse on the Doors career. I bought their album in 1967 when it was released and saw them in the summer of '67 at the Retinal Circus, an older ballroom in Vancouver...some people crowded around where the band was set up on the ballroom floor but most people danced. The next time they played Vancouver it was in the Coliseum arena.
John Densmore - Drummer.... All that sound from 1 14" Snare Drum, 13" mounted Tom, 16" Floor Tom, 22" Kick Bass. High-Hat Cymbals, 1 Ride, 1 Crash Cymbal. AWESOME
This band knocked down the doors with their intense musical genius. With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison's poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture. I remember well how everyone was talking about the new group called "The DOORS" Only 3 musicians and a singer make all that sound.The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore
@@Xavier-Denis - Oh my parents didn't know where I was that night. I just got my learners permit and bought a motor scooter to make it easier to deliver newspapers. I had three routes at the time. My parents thought I was at a friends house and had to stay there overnight because I wasn't supposed to drive the scooter at night.
Heard this song a million times...that solo just keeps getting better! The Doors are like LZ in that the variety of music they play is mind boggling, and yes the drummer has a jazz background.
JM, you’re adding so many great bands from the late 60’s - early 70’s to your reaction repertoire! You, my man, are on top of this game. The Doors is unquestionably one of those bands that stand out. Sadly, Jim Morrison lost his life too soon in 1971 at the age of 27. He joined The 27 Club… the anomalous list of notable musicians who died at age 27. 😢 Thankfully, The Doors left us with an awesome catalog of music. ❤
They had no Bass Guitar player. All the Bass notes are on a Fender Rhodes 32 key Bass Electric Piano, that sat on top of his Organ. Ray played with his left hand and lead with his right at same time. REAL Talent..... BTW, I built the same pianos at Fender for 4 years.
The Doors music is what I call going into "The Twilight Zone" of classic rock. "The Alabama Song"... "The Crystal Ship"... "Riders On The Storm".... "People Are Strange"....
This song is the result of a challenge by Morrison to the group. He said he couldn’t keep writing all the songs and they’d have to help out. Robby Krueger then wrote this song and it became their first hit.
I still vividly remember the first time I heard this longer version playing, while my friend Charlotte and I were listening to my transistor radio, walking home from playing handball on a Saturday over at our high school.🔥
JM... This is one of those albums you might want to do from start to finish. Many of us know where that will take you to.....Start with "Break On Through" and have your experience bring you to...."The End"
When on the Ed Sullivan Show, Sullivan told Jim Morrison he could not use the words...'Girl we couldn't get much higher' , he insisted the words be changed to something else.. On LIVE TV.... Morrison looked right at the camera and smiled singing the words Mr. Sullivan did not want on his show. The DOORS were forever banned from the show after that ICONIC Moment in Classic Rock history.
After the performance on the show and while they were backstage Ed Sullivan had one of his people go backstage and tell "Mr. Morrison" that for the stunt he pulled they will never be invited to be on The Ed Sullivan Show ever again. Jim Morrison in his wonderful Jim Morrison fashion came back with "that's okay we've already played on The Ed Sullivan Show".
"So Many Instruments".... Only 4 not counting Jim's vocals. One small Drum Kit. One Gibson SG Guitar. "The Vox Continental organ was what I played with my right hand and the Fender keyboard bass with my left hand."- Keyboardist Ray Manzarek. The song's distinctive organ intro has been characterized as “one of the most recognizable sounds in the history of rock music”.
Not only did this band have a distinctive sound they were the first to hit the airwaves with what was to become known as the "DJ's friend" a recording about 6 minutes long that was unprecedented at the time. It gave radio dj's time to visit a facility because most recordings were about two and a half or three minutes long to be considered for air time.
The Doors didn't have a signature song and so Morrison made that a goal for everyone. That same night, Robby Krieger (guitarist) went home and composed this song. He took it to the group in the studio the next day and introduced them to it. Blew their minds. The rest is history. This is one of the most iconic 60s song of all time.
When the Doors of perception are cleansed, man will see things as they truly are. William Blake. There are things known, and there are things unknown, and in between them are the Doors. Jim Morrison
Thank You My Friend. The Door has some incredible songs, If you like check out the live version (Vevo) of their song "" Touch Me "" you will enjoy the finally. JM you have Great taste in music. 🎸🎷🎹👍
"Kind of a Jazz flavor". These are basically a bunch of Jazz musicians who got into rock and put a poet as the lead singer. Ray Manzarek gave a whole lecture on the making of this song. Started out written as a folk loungey song and developed into this Latin Jose Feliciano thingy. The intro is basically a nod to Bach. The entire keyboard solo is John Coltraine-inspired. Jim changed the lyrics to introduce death into it with "our love is like a funeral pyre". This is what happens when a good musical idea by one member goes through the rest of the top-shelf talent of a band. Out comes a dead-ass masterpiece.
Poetic genius ahead of his time. Doors couldn’t be categorized, they had their own genre with Morrison at the helm. To me it’s timeless and makes me feel like I’m reliving those years. Songs back in the day were played on the radio much longer than now and listening to this now, boy the memories come flooding back
I have this album, it's it's his greatest Hits. They did a movie of his life, Val Kilmer was playing Jim Morrison and it's crazy how he looks like him. His song The End is long but still one of my favorite with Peace Frog and Riders on the storm
I STAND AND APPLAUD..... You have now crossed over into a completely different form of music unlike anyone else. The DOORS changed the landscape of RnR forever. The first album I had to buy with my own money because I knew my parents would never approve of the lyrics on this landmark album..... TOO COOL, again
Other hits of The Doors are “Roadhouse Blues”, “Love Her Madly”, “Hello, I Love You”, “People Are Strange” and so many more. Jim Morrison, the lead singer, is a member of “The 27 Club” which are the musicians/singers who died at the age of 27. There are so many hugely talented people on that list.
Overproduced, but it fits the songs. I love that album because I first heard it at a friend’s house, and every time I hear one of those songs it puts me back there.
Hey he didnt pause the solo 👏 Finally a new reaction to this song. kinda sad how little love this one gets. its mainly "Riders On The Storm" or "The End" Keep em coming 👍
Of course this is the hit that catapulted The Doors into the conscious of rock fans (radio friendly for AM stations back then but not for Ed Sullivan censors, LOL). Very overplayed then and now. Much prefer the delights we heard on this legendary debut album in compositions brought about by lyrics of the brilliant poet, Jim Morrison, the "Lizard King". Off this album check out “Moonlight Drive”, “The Crystal Ship”, “Soul Kitchen”, “Break On Through (To the Other Side)” and “The End”… all these songs feature lyrics by Jim. Jim and Ray Manzarek first meet when they were both enrolled as film students at UCLA. Jim and Robert Plant are two of the most influential frontmen in rock history.

Naw
Joke 😂😊
I heard it in the womb 50 years ago and still loving it.
First album I bought with my own money knowing my parents would never approve of most lyrics... Best Money Spent Ever.@@markdibble8840
Actually, I have listened to this song more times than any other song over the years. 56 years.

The very first rock concert I went to was the Doors, I was just 15 and it was a life changing experience.
Best way to describe an experience like that. I've had a few.
WOW 15 !!! May I ask you your age?
@@Xavier-Denis - It was the Spring of 1967 (I'm 71 now)
@@RMForbes505 I wish I had parents like yours but in 1967 I was 6 y/o LOL

The power of THIS song is the lengthy organ solo. So extatic and timeless.

Being banned was more than worth it. In these crazy days we’re living now we need more than ever public displays of defying authority.
@@Asti.sayAhstee That helped make Jim and The Doors the legendary status they still have today.
@@AliasMark69 Yep! Hence, more than worth it. 😊

I listened to some of the Doors songs so often that my 4 year old was singing along. 😂 My favorite is Riders On The Storm.
It’s about time you walked through The Doors.
First time listening with headphones. Awesome mixing and stereo. Drums were exploding in my left ear like a machine gun.
The Doors are great, try Riders on the Storm!
Imagine you are 12 years old, with some friends you go buy this album. sit in the room and get stoned and hear this for the first time....WOW
When the Doors of perception are cleansed, man will see things as they truly are. William Blake.

Jim Morrison is legendary. I love his voice and intensity. There are so many songs by them that you would love.
"Kind of a Jazz flavor". These are basically a bunch of Jazz musicians who got into rock and put a poet as the lead singer. Ray Manzarek gave a whole lecture on the making of this song.

Even after all these years the guitar break still sends a shiver. Robbie reckoned it wasn't even the best take!

Weed is optional. But it wasn't at the time. Toke up, kick back, get down.
I have this album, it's it's his greatest Hits. They did a movie of his life, Val Kilmer was playing Jim Morrison and it's crazy how he looks like him. His song The End is long but still one of my favorite with Peace Frog and Riders on the storm
Jose Feliciano did a remix of this song later that became at least as popular, or close.
Just a suggestion: Lovin' Spoonful singing Summer in the City.

One song not in the comments is my favorite "L.A. Woman".
oooo and a great dance tune!
jmboy tv - the DOORS - listen to Rider's on the storm.😊 so smooth it's a groove. thanks be safe peace. johnnyboy
I always liked their "Soft Parade" album.
Overproduced, but it fits the songs. I love that album because I first heard it at a friend’s house, and every time I hear one of those songs it puts me back there.
If you haven't done The End or Riders on the Storm yet they are 2 more long epic Doors tunes
I still have the single 45rpm. I was 13 when it was released ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥
Yeah man!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hey he didnt pause the solo 👏
Finally a new reaction to this song. kinda sad how little love this one gets. its mainly "Riders On The Storm" or "The End"
Keep em coming 👍
❤️❤️❤️
the very song that banned them from ever performing again on National TV (the ED Sullivan Show)...just sayin':)

I swear, no 2 Doors songs sound alike!!
The band without bass player
There were only three instruments on this
