@@cloroxbleach8676 yep I can't believe he is singing it, it's this song that started individual writing credits to be shown on the records as befor all writing credits was to the doors
I still can't believe I'm older than him. I always saw him like an old man, no matter my age nor my experience, I keep respecting him as an excelent musician and lyricist. ❤
This has always been my favorite version of this song because of its true representation of the Doors as a cohesive band of 4 unique and original forces blended into one... Manzarek with his godly and goose bump producing keyboard playing in conjunction with spot on base lines, Krieger with his intricate guitar picking and his own sense of rhythm, Densmore with his tight but mellow and smooth drumming, and of course Mr. Morrison with his natural-born nack for storytelling and beautiful poetry that has moved me to bliss. I will always love this true band .
these are true legends and geniuses for sure. I am a Doors Freak and I also play in a Doors Tribute Band. Not everyone is able to feel this music and be able to play it. you must feel the spirit of morrison inorder to play Doors, Forever Doors. Anthony
I love this version more than the original recorded version. I like the simple sound, only 4 people and a poem, doing the best they can do without many arrangements.
Check out the 50th Anniversary release of the Soft Parade album. It has a "Doors Only" mix of "Tell All the People", among others. Robby in particular did amazing work on the album, as did they all.
Jim Morrison was one in a million and this song can tell it all 💙 this speaks so much to my heart, one of the most beautiful and underrated songs of the doors
My son and I saw Robbie at the Whiskey a month ago. Before the show, as we were all stuffed nuts to butts, they played this over the speakers before Robbie came out. It was unbelievable, everyone was singing so loud. What a memory
thats why robby is so great, his sound is so unique without a pick he strings together chords and solo sections in the same riff soo amazingly such an underrated guitarist
@@waynegersbach8089 This is the Doors in their most decadent period. Jim is really in his element here singing in this lounge style. If you were going to combine a musical and adult film together this is your soundtrack.
@Eleanor Lonely I get that but I've seen other performances from this session and the quality is perfect. There is a version of the soft parade from this session and it blew my mind. Amazing
This song is a shining example of the brilliance that was The Doors, the lyrical depth and fidelity is raw and intriguing which is why Jim is considered a poet, to me this is poetry. The emotional input is there too, this song makes me happy and sad at the same time much like all of their collective works. People today listen to music to bide time when travelling or sitting around with friends, not to listen and appreciate the depth with isn't necessarily prominent in modern music, the lyrics are second place to a good sounding beat. This is why The Doors had no predecessors or successors, they were perfectly unique and produced in my opinion the very best of music in such as short time.
+DIDGCARNAGE Actually this song was written by Robby Krieger and Jim was reluctant to sing it because of the messiah like lyrics and call for people to ' get their guns' so I've read
THIS WAS AT 'CRITIQUE': 28th-29th of April, 1969. The doors made seven songs in this tv program and then they made an interview. They asked Jim to read some of his poems, he started to read them, but then he stopped because he said that he wasn't able to read them in the right way to express his feelings. He was so humble!!!
Lyrics: Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Set them free Follow me down You tell them they don't have to run We're gonna pick up everyone Come out and take me by my hand Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, yeah Can't you see the wonder at your feet Your life's complete Follow me down Can't you see me growing, get your guns The time has come To follow me down Follow me across the sea Where milky babies seem to be Molded, flowing revelry With the one that set them free Tell all the people that you see It's just me Follow me down, yeah Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Set them free Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free Follow me down Follow me down You got to follow me down Follow me down...
(Since the description is lacking) This performance was recorded on April 28th, 1969 in New York at PBS Studios. This was the second to last television performance of any kind by the Doors while Jim Morrison was alive. It's also notable as the only time that the Doors played songs from The Soft Parade album on television. Jim Morrison passed away two years and 2 months after this was recorded.
@@joeltaylor3189 The final televised performance with Jim was a short clip of a November 1970 rehearsal for LA Woman. They did continue to have video recordings of shows following the PBS appearance but they were not televised.
So sad that he wrestled with so many personal demons! He was a talented poet, songwriter and singer! A true artist for all time! The Doors music is timeless and just think of the greatness they achieved in such a short time, could have definitely contributed soooo much more to the world with his unique perspectives on our culture!
1 of my fav doors album.. I remember i was in the 7th grade and on the last day of school my teacher pulled me aside and gave me the soft parade album that belonged to her son who passed from a car accident.. I was very greatful.. I’ll never forget that moment in time
cause all the kids in them days had LSD, which caused them to think for themselves, and the kids these days are literally being brainwashed by the media.
It's amazing that he had never sung in his life until 1965, and this is 3 1/2 years later, and he's has one of the best voices I've ever heard. They're first album he had sung a little over a year. Unreal.
rip ray, you will be miss very much, your contributions to the doors music will always be rembered thank you for all the great music that you helped creat while you were hear with us. peace and love. tell jim that i think his poetry was great and i truely understood what he was trying to say through the bands music. have a peacefull journey to the great beyond ray.
Favorite doors song I literally just heard it the other day, picked up my guitar and learned it. Now I’m trying to get my band to play it with me. I’m 30 btw
i always could relate to jim because he always like to keep it real. and i always felt that there was more to the life that we live now. after i have read a lot of jim's poetry that i truely believe that that there is another side that we can break on through to. and that i am just waiting for my chance to break on through to. to me darkness is only a place that doesn't have any light at all, it is just a place of endless possiablitys
This is the first time that I've watched and heard this musical video. Jim has such a nice voice when he sings,even though he didn't think so? Robby is always by his side. John and Ray seem to be enjoying their talents, and feeling peaceful.
Robbie Krieger wrote a lot of their songs. He didn't hate it, he just didn't like the lyrics too much so he made sure Robbie got writing credits for it. He wrote most of their major hits.
This is just such a great performance. Robby wrote a perfect song for Jim to sing, it just fits him so well. The band had such great synergy, it's amazing. Jim died at 27, but I'm positive he's experienced more than most people who live to 100! He's still alive in a way.
In 500 years, they'll still talk about Jim Morrison and the Doors. The Beatles, The Stones, and The Beach Boys should also figure in those future world discussions, too. 😉
One of the rare doors song were the drums deliver the hook ... and an absolutely brilliant couple short solos in there by robby reminding you he's there without trying to stand out. Perfect timing by 4 musicians and I'd argue the best opener of any of their albums minus strange days
Really great performance in 1969 of a new bearded Jimbo..the new look and the same expressive magnetism..really cool the Manzarek keyboards..great old times
First time I saw this video, I thought to my self "when Jesus comes back he's gonna look just like Jim Morrison does here and this songs gonna start playin".....
Tell all the people that you see Follow me, follow me down Tell all the people that you see Set them free, follow me down You tell them they don't have to run We're gonna pick up everyone Come out and take me by my hand Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, oh yeah Can't you see the wonder at your feet Your life's complete, follow me down Can't you see me growing, get your guns The time has come to follow me down Follow me across the sea Where milky babies seem to be Molded, flowing revelry With the one that set them free Tell all the people that you see It's just me, follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me, follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free, follow me down Tell all the people that you see It's just me, follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me, follow me down Follow me down You got to follow me down Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free, follow me down Tell all the people you see Follow me You got to follow me down
the doors music was head of it's time back then and is still way ahead of it's time today , their music still sounds fresh and still has something to say, todays music does not have the same effect on things at all like the doors did back in the day at all. when the doors were making music it was because they had something to say talking about peace and love not violence. but today things are not going in the right direction at all not for the better that i can see.
One of the most underrated songs of all time
Jim hated this song
Maybe the best song ever
Pfft the whole album of Soft Parade underrated
@@cloroxbleach8676 Jim hated a lot of things from what I gather.

I completely agree! I just had the same thought!
I heard it first like this and refuse to hear it differently
100% agree
The brass section in the studio recording tries to make the song sound bigger but it has a big sound bare bones
Check out the 50th Anniversary release of the Soft Parade album. It has a "Doors Only" mix of "Tell All the People", among others. Robby in particular did amazing work on the album, as did they all.

I was a bit reluctant with The Soft Parade album at first but now I really do adore it. Especially this song.
Every album so diverse and original . What genre is soft parade I still don’t know
@@waynegersbach8089 This is the Doors in their most decadent period. Jim is really in his element here singing in this lounge style. If you were going to combine a musical and adult film together this is your soundtrack.
It happens to everybody who sees it's beauty
Love this version more than the actual studio version
The Asthetics of Jim are what draws you in.
@Eleanor Lonely listening the day after the sacking of the capital I 2021
Yo pienso lo mismo, amigo.

stfu , robby is a legend
If there was a song that could have gotten Morrison killed, it’s this one.
This tune sold me as a 13 year old ...this and 'you're lost little girl "
Wow! Jim's voice sounds so great here!
👍
+Cyber Grunge , His voice was one of the bigger !
BEST OF ALL TIME// TIED WITH JOHN LENNON!
Better than on the studio version.
Perfect! Who believes Jim's still alive ?
THIS WAS AT 'CRITIQUE': 28th-29th of April, 1969. The doors made seven songs in this tv program and then they made an interview. They asked Jim to read some of his poems, he started to read them, but then he stopped because he said that he wasn't able to read them in the right way to express his feelings. He was so humble!!!
Beautiful song by Jim hints of gospel music and he welcomes you to his good heart🙂
Best band ever, best front man, the one that taught many of us that books and learning is cool, he was a genius besides all the hoopla.
mandaltby Top five frontmen:
1) King Elvis
2) Jim Morrison
3) Eric Burdon
4) Robert Plant
5) Otis Redding
& the fact that his dad started the Vietnam war! Heavy burden to carry man xx
@zerx harris Freddie? lol what a joke
If Morrison hadn't been a Rockstar he would've been an incredible filmmaker.
Lyrics:
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Set them free
Follow me down
You tell them they don't have to run
We're gonna pick up everyone
Come out and take me by my hand
Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, yeah
Can't you see the wonder at your feet
Your life's complete
Follow me down
Can't you see me growing, get your guns
The time has come
To follow me down
Follow me across the sea
Where milky babies seem to be
Molded, flowing revelry
With the one that set them free
Tell all the people that you see
It's just me
Follow me down, yeah
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Set them free
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
We'll be free
Follow me down
Follow me down
You got to follow me down
Follow me down...

That's a very lovely memory to have,tnx for sharing.
This is like Elvis is singing...holy, mother of God!
Really his voice was amazing,
LMAO not even close
@@FerminHarris-ms4bq yup, Jim blows Elvis away.
@@morrison1405 I want what you guys are smoking 😂😂
@@FerminHarris-ms4bqquit liking your own comments
@@finlaymarron Dont be butthurt cuz people agree he can't touch Elvis in terms of singing 😂
Hard to believe this wise man was only 25, who can pull something like that off in their 20s today
There's less LSD turning around nowadays..
Just kidding.
@@pat.c.1653 😂😂😂
cause all the kids in them days had LSD, which caused them to think for themselves, and the kids these days are literally being brainwashed by the media.
Someone who ate loads of acid
@@thinginground5179 not all of us. I’m an early Gen Z (1995) and I hold onto the individuality of the 60s. Bollocks to the herd-mindset ✌️
Why is he so cool no matter what he does ?
Fr he's dope asf its an honor to be from the same place hes from LA
@@angelserna8147 He moved to LA, he's from Florida

armin38822 coz he is Jim
He is dead you know
I would love to go back in time to meet Jim! R.I.P Morrison..
The Doors, Van Halen, and the Stones is why music is engrained so deeply in me. The rest was yet to come.
What a wonderful, meaningful library.
He really had a great voice, truly unique, little wonder why he became a star.
The looks didn't hurt either.
The fullness of time ... 😮
one of the best performances
Jim's voice in this version is more in tune than the actual studio recording.
he hated this song and admitted it
@@lyricberlin why?
@@lucaslucas5907 talks of guns and war
RIP Ray. Thanks for all the great songs.
This song is like a medicine...my troubles are buried in the sand when I am listening..
I love the way, Johnny more melted, than Jim, but holds his own. Love the Doors. Respect. 🌚👹✊🖐️🤜🤛
I love Jim. He got me through my father's death at age 13. A Beautiful, Brilliant Wild Mustang...gets no cooler than this man...Matt
this song is so good
I just love the vocal on this track...genius...love this band, they made a big impact on me when I first heard them.
rip ray, you will be miss very much, your contributions to the doors music will always be rembered thank you for all the great music that you helped creat while you were hear with us. peace and love. tell jim that i think his poetry was great and i truely understood what he was trying to say through the bands music. have a peacefull journey to the great beyond ray.
Love the way Robbie plays for the song. He's great, so cool.
Favorite doors song I literally just heard it the other day, picked up my guitar and learned it. Now I’m trying to get my band to play it with me. I’m 30 btw
You should join my band
You're never gonna pull it off donnie.
Jim was such a strong vocalist even when he was completely out of his mind
i always could relate to jim because he always like to keep it real. and i always felt that there was more to the life that we live now. after i have read a lot of jim's poetry that i truely believe that that there is another side that we can break on through to. and that i am just waiting for my chance to break on through to. to me darkness is only a place that doesn't have any light at all, it is just a place of endless possiablitys
Above everything else , Jim was simply a great singer , far better than he ever imagined himself to be , intact there has never quite been another
Even with this poor sound quality still sends shivers down your spine, imagine being there ... just beautiful
This has to be one of the best songs of all time and maybe the best band ever.
One of my favorite Doors songs!! Love it.
this is one of their best performances...just the Doors doing their thing...no extras...just a rock band.
Jim was so much into life. His message was to just have fun!!!
This is the first time that I've watched and heard this musical video. Jim has such a nice voice when he sings,even though he didn't think so? Robby is always by his side. John and Ray seem to be enjoying their talents, and feeling peaceful.
"Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand" is the climax of the song for me..tears too many times.
That's my favorite song about The Doors. The song is quite relaxed but still doesn't take away from the rock genre
The guy was a great singer too, and he even uses some serious highs in that one! Rare chance to enjoy him in the higher register.
2:42 pure fuckin bliss. Probably the best sounds I’ve ever heared
What a Voice , what a time to be alive ha Yeah
this is a real gem of a lost classic, probably the finest Doors song. thanks very much for posting it.
Best Doors TV performance ever.
Love this band.
Follow Jim down....
Cheers from Argentina!
Love Jim's voice during this era, so rich, so manly...wish I could sing like this :(
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED."- Matthew 12:37.
Amazing. Jim Morrison and The Doors will live on.
The best band America has produced IMO.
This is an epic voice.
I love robby krieger! Great song robby!
Robby writed the three best songs of the Doors , in my opinion
Looks like he's tripping hard.
Morrison always remembered the right wordies, the band always remembered the right noties.
The Doors & The Cream...the two best bands from 1966-1970
Robbie Krieger wrote a lot of their songs. He didn't hate it, he just didn't like the lyrics too much so he made sure Robbie got writing credits for it. He wrote most of their major hits.
You can really hear the complexities of all the instruments one by one and through sheer ability/talent it sounds perfect. Including the voice.
This is actually my all time favourite song.
jim was special fantastic voice and charisma
This is just such a great performance. Robby wrote a perfect song for Jim to sing, it just fits him so well. The band had such great synergy, it's amazing. Jim died at 27, but I'm positive he's experienced more than most people who live to 100! He's still alive in a way.

He's still alive on Utube for all fans to see.
25 years old and look at that beard. Much love.
Oh... Estas canciones me acuerdan a cuando estaba en la preparatoria... Tantos buenos recuerdos.
this is the best poet and singer we love
R.I.P jim your music will live on forever
There hasn't been a musician or artist since Jim that can rival his genius........
he wasn't a musician and not even close to being the best singer. Morrison admitted that.
Pure pure music Heaven
I will fallow you down forever,man! And when I see that my life is complete,man,when I see it,I will think of you,Ray,Roby and John! I LOVE YOU,DUDES!
Best version of this song!
one of the best doors songs!
Amo!
Jim pra sempre em nossos corações
I love the rawness of this version. Amazing.
Jim always has so much emotion when he sings...
One of the rare doors song were the drums deliver the hook ... and an absolutely brilliant couple short solos in there by robby reminding you he's there without trying to stand out. Perfect timing by 4 musicians and I'd argue the best opener of any of their albums minus strange days
The changeling? Break on through? Roadhouse blues?
jim morrison y the doors en general los mejores por siempre
My favorite live Doors song by far.
Really great performance in 1969 of a new bearded Jimbo..the new look and the same expressive magnetism..really cool the Manzarek keyboards..great old times
Great performance by the ENTIRE band!! R.I.P. JIM & RAY
Timeless music...Excellent...Good beat...Awesome lyrics....
Uma das primeiras músicas que ouvi do The Doors, que paixão
As a 24 year old Doorshead, this blows the album version out of the water. Infinitely better then the studio version. 🚪
i really think jim knew this was it, the end. he put on one damn good show to finish it. god bless you jim.
Robbie wrote pop songs, Jim was on another completely different level.
One of the best performances I’ve seen by Jim. Great voice
First time I saw this video, I thought to my self "when Jesus comes back he's gonna look just like Jim Morrison does here and this songs gonna start playin".....
um no
always been one of my favorite Doors tunes...and they have so many...Hendrix, Doors and Stones have always been my favorites
This is one of the Doors very best songs IMO. I have no idea why it wasn't a big hit and gets no airplay.
A great band....❤❤❤
Happy Birthday Jim, Wherever you are...
One of the best songs ever!
Tell all the people that you see
