  • @masquesandmirrors it's interesting discussing with u, i like looking into things more than just being a fag

    Every story is fascinating, as the human being is, in his younghood, things that happen, relationships, dreams. Those great illusions which push us ahead

    There r some of us who r more interested in creating weird, funny things more than taking part in the functioning of existing machineries

  • Krieger is a wonderful musician indeed

    U dont catch him that much at the beginning. Ur busy w/ the beautiful play of Manzarek

    But if u listen very close, the real innersecret of Door's music is the drumming of Densmore

    He is responsible for bringing in all those latin jazz rhythms which made the Doors truly unique

    Change the drummer and they would have sound pretty much similar to any other blusy rock band

    He put that rumba beat to Break on Through, and that latin jazz mood to Light my Fire

  • Not a concert. A TV show.

  • 777,777 viewer

  • 777 777 the number of the lizard

    Ein Fingerzeig Gottes wenn die Zahl bei 777.777 stehenbleibt. 

  • I am the 777777 viewer too, i love this f*cking song

  • lol i am 777777 viewer :D and song is great, by the way

  • @Bojangulz87 all ur plans r destroyed::::

  • @hegemoniuspiper haha fo real

  • @Bojangulz87 despite u r old age and the drinking habit, the divorce, the stolen car and lost lottery ticket, u can always start from scratch

  • he had an IQ of 149, he knew he could put his mind/ do anything, which is why he chose this

  • @paschalLion bla bla bla he a IQ bla bla

    he did not have any fucking IQ, he was on drugs and blatted meaningless things

    the only good guy was the drummer

  • @hegemoniuspiper Krieger was the best bottle neck guitar planet around,and nobody coulod touch Mazereck on the ivory.Each and very Door,added that something a bit different about there style of play.Giving the band that unique sound.The music all fitted into place,for Morrison,s poetry to blend into a oral story.In the syle of his Celtic ancestors from Scotland.Stories that are remebered past down from Fatther to son.His work will be reemembered to,even if all the albums got burned tomorrow.

  • @hegemoniuspiper Most creative people did drugs back then.And plenty of creative people through out history and been smokers.What a stupid comment to make.Doing drugs like LSD can open your mind,in moderation.In the end he could not do that.And that gave plenty of folk of his generation problems.He was more off a drinker though.And that can be as much a dangerous drug as any off them.Just look what happened to Amy Winehouse.And she was another who died the same age as Morrison,Hendrix,cOBAIN.

  • @legandrydirk ok,u have something to say, but drugs r no good.The realdifference back then was made by the environment and the energy circulating.Experimenting can be fine, but many of them went too far and loose the point. In those days people still believed celebrities were goddess and they tried to behave accordingly,some still did it up to our days, but that's wrong. Music is imagination, fun, meditation,poetry, health and happiness of the body&soul. Paul McCartney is fine

  • @hegemoniuspiper McCartney still gets acid flash backs to.He did as much gear as any off them.He is still around,cos he was lucky.And no doubt has a good Harley Street doctor.I am not saying that drugs are good.What I am saying is LSD can open your mind,and magic mushrooms can be very spirtuial.Would God if you believe in the divine,put them here.If they were not here for a reason?I think that they are here,to bring us closer to that higher self.To walk on that spirtuial plane of concioness.

  • @legandrydirk what i can tell u is that u can achieve exactly the same openingof mind without drugs, and what u achieve without drugs then belongs to u and it's stable. With drugs u mostly prone to cheat urself. Real "drugs" for those goals u r talking about r the air we breath and the clear water we drink

    Back then they was ingenous, they felt the urge to break free but didnt know how, it was mostly a rebellion but with the same western burgouise way of thinking and means

  • @legandrydirk Jim Morrison played with a tragedy based plot on his achieving fame and his own death, He put on stage his own dionisiac sacrifice. That can be a fascinating story to sell, but nowadays is unacceptable.It's very ingenous,because it suppose stardom and fame are the most important things to have, and poetry was just a mean to him, to satisfy his narcisistic self glorifying vision.Interesting, but not fine with me.Their music anyway is good, even if sinister, threatening

  • @hegemoniuspiper I think he became what he did.As he was pist of with his Father.Being part off a killing machine.Done in the name off a once great nation,with great ideals.And he hated seeing wars like Vietnam on his sceens.And young people on both sids,being struck down before they got the chance to live.He would rather try and open others minds,to there being a chance of a better way of life.And he managed to do that through,his music and his poetry.Making us think making us think about now.

  • @legandrydirk i dont deny he has been an artist and choose to shape his own life like an artcraft. He was clever, they was brilliant musicians, but they also played on the wrong side in many ways, playing with the dark side, the lower impulses, the pleasure of destruction and so on. U seem to suppose they was engaged with a positive view of life, but they werent in fact, in the meaning Morrison gave to their music, it was a celebration of lust and destruction,and pursuit of success

  • @hegemoniuspiper They never done that in every song.Some of there songs were timeless love songs.And nobody else was signing about that other side of life in the flower power 60ties.Sharing the yin and the yang,is a good thing.Flower power died when the Hells angels killed that guy at the Rolling Stones gig.And they done exactly the same thing.What do you think,Sympahy for the devil,was about?And Doors might have been still rocking as long if he lived.Just doing easy listening or blues music.

  • @legandrydirk they was peculiar onthat aspect, they didnt exactly belong the flower power or hippie movement: there was violence implicit expressed in their music and shows, kind Artaud influenced by, a hopeless individualism, based on that kind of nietzchean conceptions of struggle for power and self affirmation. Those r ones of the reasons they didnt bother inviting them to Woostock, for instance. There was a kind of romantic fascism in their whole message. Decadent,and blues too

  • @hegemoniuspiper And there was a lot of jazz in there to.Morrison would have ended up in Vegas,no doubt like Elvis.Playing some lounge act music.I think he was just tierd at the end.I think the fact that LA Woman was a hit record.It would have inspired him to do more.Sadly we will probably never know.

  • @legandrydirk it's very difficult to judge them. The whole idea and experience is quite problematic and contradictory. On a pure artist level, they r unique and their music is fascinating, blending so many different influences and conveying true poetry. But onn a moral or broadly human level, u nortice something wrong. Partially they played consciously with this, partially, well, Jimbo has to dye, and for many people remained an example for self destruction and drug consumption

  • @hegemoniuspiper He died cos he was stupid.He snorted some china white,and that is what finished him.Some say he died in a club.And was taken back to the flat,and put in the bath.It says heart attack on his death certificate though.The long and the short of it,is he got what he wanted.He will always been rememberd,and in the public imagination.Even if you like his work or you dont.But he was not fucking Jesus Christ.And I think he would have hated being compared in that manner.

  • @legandrydirk what make u think he died in a club? I believed he simply had an heart failure. Pamela Curson told the truth. They could have been consuming something before, but yes he died in the bath tube and Pamela found him in there. His body was exhausted. R u into conspiracy theories?

  • @hegemoniuspiper Pretty sure I read it in a book.The one that was better than No one gets out of here alive.The story crops up in a few books about his life.They had been off drugs a while,as they could not score any.And the shit that they managed to get,was to pure.So he OD,on it right away.The owners never wanted the bad publicity,what with the place being used bye dealers.So they moved him back to the flat.And the flat was not to far away,more or less walking distance from the club.

  • @legandrydirk who knows, doesnt make much difference. But i think i ll keep the simple one, seems plausible enough and nothing else has ever been added by Curson nor any close friend of her she has been talking to in the following years -dont believe in any colourful fantasy written in books

  • @hegemoniuspiper She is hardly going to say anything negative about him,when she was alive.And bring names of dealers into it,and the ones that helped them.And end up getting her self murdered.She dined out on being his woman,it gave her a indentity.

  • @legandrydirk not like that, nothing negative could have reached her in the usa, but not telling the truth about the real circumstances of Jim's death, for his memoryand his friends and loved to know. Dealer's bad publicity, what's that? come on, that's pure fantasy freko shit

    anyway

  • @hegemoniuspiper What do you mean,she stayed in France after his death.And was still hanging round the junkies and the dealers.Like plenty of other Americans over there.Somebody has told the story,or it would not make as many books.And the band know he was on the hard drugs.So how was that going to damage them?When the damage was already done?Stranger things have happened you know.Plenty of other celebs went out the same way.Its a awful drug its the dark side,it destroys families and your soul.

  • @hegemoniuspiper LOL..not so sure about that, despite his substance abuse Jim had the nerve to state the obvious but in creative terms. At least he was trying to tell the truth about things through his poetry such as American Prayer--that no doubt angered his daddy, the infamous 'Gulf of Tonkin' liar Admiral Morrison. Must have frustrated Jim to know that his dad was partly responsible for the the lie that incited the War--or was it police action--in Vietnam.

  • @masquesandmirrors his attitude toward thing and life depended mostly on the personality he had and the way he developped it thru his family experience, especially the fact that he his father was always away and they always moving. It want very much political at all. He wasnt clearly anti war or pacifist, even in that ambigous manifesto that is unknown soldier. He had a psycological fight with father figure,whom he did not feel loved by.Needed to challenge him to gain his love

  • @hegemoniuspiper Jim most assuredly had a psychological battle with the Admiral, though he took it out through his poetry because who would want to tango with such an evil man as Sr. Morrison with his ties to Military Intel and their cronies back then? If one really studies Hour of Magic and that particular part, he is 'outing' a lot of secrets of the society back then--the lies told and the psychological mind-screw the CIA/gov was playing on the populace. He was driven by pass/agg anger, IMHO.

  • @masquesandmirrors without going to deep into psyco politic speculations... Or entering the esoteric side of the whole thing. The key to understand Jim Morrison's work is simply is own personality, as said: narcisistic, authority challenging, toghether with sensitivity and cleverness. I think he was trying to fulfill a model. He wanted to fill the absence of his father in his mother's eyes and love, replace him, by being the rebellious, almighty opposite.

  • @hegemoniuspiper I certainly agree with you on that--his personality was very narcissistic, but then most artists are!  It's not a democratic pursuit. lol. He was also into playing mind games with a crowd, seeing how far he could push people into reacting certain ways.A provocateur. As for his mom, everything I have read about her, specifically by his siblings was that she was extremely submissive when it came to her husband's 'authority'. A 'nice' woman but allowed the Admiral to bully Jim. :(

  • @masquesandmirrors At a moment in his youth he found a character and identified himself with that. It was a literary, romantic model, decadent, tragic, dionisiac and lushious. He just saw things thru that imaginative lense

    In more than a way he was a psyquiatric case

    It's like the Edipo case: he feels like killing his father, but that actually means destroying and killing himself. He had no limit in his behaviour and i d say he built piece by piece his ending

  • @hegemoniuspiper This is what I meant about Jim reminding me a LOT of Byron. Sardonic, biting humour, could be very kind and generous but then could pull Janus-faced and be cruel. A mass of contradictions to be sure. Like a wolf in a way--he had a bs-metre. lol. He could sense if someone was straight with him or not and would gauge his response to someone by that intuitive sense. It's no wonder even now people are trying to guess who was the 'real' Jim Morrison, like us. Only he knows.. .;)

  • @masquesandmirrors he made a character of himself, it's true u need to figure out who that person really was. That character partially was a poser

    But how long was going to last? Maybe he liked to be pushed around

  • @hegemoniuspiper So true, perhaps if he had stayed merely a poet, he would have lasted longer..but who knows. It was the 'rock and roll god' thing that was the wayward element, and personal demons to add to that destructive side. Maybe if that Miami incident wasn't blown out of proportion he could have shrugged off the rock god mantle and did his own thing without the trappings of all the bs and the alcohol destroying him from the inside out. A whole lot of maybes... I guess it's sad cruel fate.

  • @masquesandmirrors as in many cases, the story has its meaning just in one sense, that is for how it's been. He crafted poetry as he crafted his own life. His death is part of the plot and crystal gave it its meaning

    His inspiration seemed to have come close to be over, in Paris. He was starting to repeat himself, his own subjects and words. It's the story of a juvenile dionisiac outburst and a sacrifice pleading for its glory and legittimacy. But how much legittimate is it?

  • @hegemoniuspiper Good question to which we'll never grasp the true answer. Could be even he didn't know. Mystic or mundane, visionary or puppet.... could be one in the same. Artists are often unaware of their own social impact, let alone the value after their own passing from this world into the unknown.

  • @masquesandmirrors well, personally i think it is not legittimate, it's a lie, but it's that kind of lie that belongs to the mass cultural system, as it was conceived in its golden era, with the cult of celebrities like they were gods. Hopefully we got rid of that, stars of that age, those who lived trapped in their fictitious public character all ended up living unhappily. But still happens today

    Stardom is a lie, we r all human and nothing can replace health and happiness

  • @hegemoniuspiper It IS a lie--but we as the public can choose to do with it as we like. For example, does one simply listen to pop/country/rock/classical et al music and enjoy it for what it is, or do we throw ourselves into the marketing end of it--vaunting the celebs as if they are on Mount Olympus? I don't like Lady Gaga for that reason. To me she's a copy of a copy of a prototype that for some reason people adore. Maybe she's nice person on her own, but as an artist...yawn. It's a choice.

  • @masquesandmirrors i would say that he fits with the case of a fashion model with an avarege talent as singer and talented for a specific genre of poetry, culturally/phylosophically aware and with an unbalanced personality (egotic, narcistic, istrionic). The Doors was an amazing set of musicians and the Sixties an exploding volcano of extravagant experiences

    That's my ultimate opinion about this mofo ;D

  • @hegemoniuspiper That's okay, that's honest. lol. :D

  • @hegemoniuspiper Your last line is so very true, that should be the focus in our world. I love the few artists today who do focus more on their health, their family, the people around them cared for and loved. But so many people in our society don't care about that--it's the quick fix, the gratuitous factor of seeing people self-destruct and I don't get it either. The dark side of humanity is being overdone in the media for sure and all we can do is participate--or decide NOT to.

  • @masquesandmirrors yea,there's so much poetry and music we can make about&with happiness, love, health, freedom at the disposal of everyone, without somuch industry money and fame thing in it. The fame thing screwed it all. I am a star

    The star of my dreams and somebody i care about, beyond what i may look for a couple of years and without selling my ass or buying urs

  • @masquesandmirrors the reality behind the scenes may be quite different from what they put on stage and appeared to be. They was consciounsly creating a theatrical thing, it was a play. At the same time they was all quite naive

    Morrison took the play damn seriously, he had a peculiar personality -but there wasnt anything particularly dramatic in his family background, certainly a sense of ambition and some emotional issues

  • @hegemoniuspiper Certainly that was the intention: the 'carnival' of their live performance was THE raison d'etre. His claim to be embodied by those Navajo on 'Dawn's highway' one can take seriously-or not. It was all part of a fascinating masqerade that made him who he was, that all added to the allure of his professional career.And past all suppositions of his private life, that is what we the public are blessed with! I thank whomever Jim really was, gave us, and appreciate it fully. :)

  • @masquesandmirrors what i dislike is the fact that behind it or in it there's pursuit of fame, ambition overall. That taints it in my eyes, of no example and cheating: the pursuit of power in itself, which lead to self destruction in its own terms. Not so different from the nazi thing. Artistically it's interesting, but u would easily over extimate it, just because of the threat of death it's puts ahead -his own death. Quite unhuman and unpoetic, appearence of a ill strenght

  • @hegemoniuspiper I agree. With that biz one HAS to stand back a bit and take it all in with a skeptic's eye. So much is smoke and mirrors and mass social manipulation by wizards behind the wall. In the end I approach someone like Jim from a humanist point of view. He was a deeply flawed human being and a lot of things he did I wouldn't condone. BUT, alas, it is all said and done, he's been gone for so long so all that is left really is the 'art', however we interpret it is up to the individual.

  • haha suckers! i'm number 777,777 view. Jackpot! I

  • @wanderer1031 shut the fuck up toni

  • I love you Jim! You're the best!

  • der 777.777 Aufruf bei mir am 15.12.1011, 18.08 MEZ (CET) !!!! ,-))

  • @uhrwerkoorange Shows the same to me :D

  • REAL and RAW the way it should be... Jim Morrison and the Doors rule! True and loving music foever!

  • the 12 dislikers are the 1%

  • he has talent! if he was drugged up so what! i wouldn't have even known the lyrics to the song if that were me.

  • People like to insult Jim Morrison at this point of time in his short life but he sings with so much soul here. Is there any comparison to his genius in this day and age??

  • @markrogen Believe me, I do agree with you on this--he may not have been a 'conventional' voice, but man, you hear him and you KNOW who it is! 'Riders on the Storm' always haunted me when Id hear on the radio, usually late at night. His voice had a way of grabbing my attention. :)

    As for insults, I don't think even he'd mind honest interpretations of his life and work--as long as it wasn't deliberately facetious. His personality --the classic Sagittarian/Opiuchus was very intellectual.

  • PBS did not sell the "Copyright" to this one of a kind Doors Perfornance? How dumb could they be... Dan O'Niallain

  • Checkin in. Do the funky chicken all over my empty Parisian grave. Empty as the tomb of Jesus, baby. Then create something new w / your mind. TLK

  • It's so nice to see Ray using the Vox in a post-1967 setting

  • Wishful, sinful...same difference.

  • i like this version better than the LP's

  • jim morrisons life has changed my by the things hes been through ive been through alot and feel like everyday life we live is not right not how we were ment 2 b i had a bad Lsd trip once and accepted death but where i saw myself go wasnt a peacefull place i feel like ineed to b more spiritually in tact i need 2 change my life and so does alot of people the politics were deal with are pity and dumb we have bigger problems in the world and its not just money. Money is the #1` but we have much more

  • just fucked up the 11 11 likes...

    jim would 've wanted it that way

  • супер...

  • It seems that Jim had all the sadness in the world in his voice. Think he is a semi-god.

  • In this video we can see Jim is older.. in fact i think this is when he was either 25 or 26..but he has lived a whole life time in those 26 yrs. He lived his life intensely and without reservation or care of what anyone thought of him.. He was the great Lizard KIng the SHaman the Warrior Poet...he was many things and we loved him for it..It was clear that Jim Morrison was a brilliant mind and poet whose soul was haunted or tortured but through that pain came such beauty .his songs. the DOOrs

  • @MermaidPrincess9 This was in 1969, Jim died in 1971, at 27, so he was just about 25 years of age in this video. For his age, he really looked aged :/

  • Pure poetry by a real poet accompanied by unique musicians.

  • Jesus ! the drummer is retared !!!

  • @VittB hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha ...................hahahahahah­a awhat a fucking stupid comment hahahahahahahaha retared! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­h you are such a piece of shit

  • @VittB

    And you probably meet him.. ha??

  • Thanks you Jim, for giving us a great voice and wonderful lyrics.

  • 1 of the lesser played/known, yet I have not heard anything even clsoe to this level of song-writing in recent modern radio (like the most recent 30 years).

  • @generationaluv

    Kreiger wrote it if im not mistaken

  • @korky94 not sure, but would need to google it or check my box set. the 1 I know he wrote for sure was Light My Fire. I don' t know how some people have such a gift for indelible melodies that would seem simple after the fact. Long Live JIm...The Doors! Robbie Krieger was noted by Jim himself as being under-rated as a guitarist. I totally agree!

  • @generationaluv The man had a charisma both in the written word and voice. There are others who are also very good wordsmiths, (I'll always love Neil Peart of RUSH--but he's a different kind of writer--and no surprise that The Doors were big inspirations for them), but Jim's whole 'package' of charisma + poetry + presentation makes him simply unforgettable as one of THE VERY BEST of them. He's Byron, Shelley and Coleridge with a bit of Nietsche(sp?) AND Poe thrown in there for good measure! :)

  • @masquesandmirrors Byron was a gay like Wylde.He would not have like to be compared to them.Even though he is burried near Oscars grave.Morrison was William Blake,or Nichze from Germany.He was dyonisis and in touch with the old.I would like to know,if he liked Robert Burns.As Dylan has said that he was the best ever.He liked Dylan as well.Morrison clan comes from Scotland like Burns.And so does the Densmore clan to for that matter.Be cool if Jim know who Burns was,as he wrote about the same stuf

  • @legandrydirk here we r, talking about gays again and all over,what an interesting subject, they should fuck out of this planet

    Jimbo

  • @legandrydirk

    Jim was known to be bisexual though he had to hide it in such a 'anti-gay' atmosphere and I don't think he would mind being compared to such unique great poets such as Byron at least..maybe not Wilde. IMHO. It's the raw uniqueness I was actually referring to more than the literal content of their work :) Also in his day, Byron WAS the Jim Morrison of the Regency set--groupies and all. lol. No surprise the styles of the late sixties used a lot of that Romantic poet style.

  • @masquesandmirrors Morrison was not a bi sexual at all.He was a hetro sexual,nowhere has it been written anywhere that he liked men.The oppisite has been written about it.Homosexuals made him very nervous in deed.As he knew what most of them,wanted to do to him.

  • @legandrydirk I guess we'll respectfully agree to disagree on this one. :) He may have been nervous and terrified to admit anything of that nature. Who could blame him...back then it could get him beaten. But it doesn't change the fact that he may have experimented with his sexuality in a private way and I have read many articles by various people in his life that eluded to it . I don't believe everything I read--people will say anything to get attention, but where there is smoke....

  • @masquesandmirrors Only one gay story I know of him,and the band.They said they were gay,to avoid having to go to Vietnam.As gays were not alloud in the forces.It does not mean to say that they actually were.It was so that they never needed to put them self in danger.I have just about every book avalible on the band.And other books about Morrison himself.And there is no mention about any love affairs with men.

  • @legandrydirk i think he could have become gay if he enrolled in the navy. He could have been a perfect example of gay marine

  • Love to hear the wind cry! Love to hear you crying.

  • over 707 thousand views.lets see if lady gaga has that many in 40 years.

  • The only really great song on the 'Soft Parade' album. In fact, one of my favorite Doors songs. That middle passage in this version seems a little shaky, but I think they just tried some very strange chord combinations between guitar and organ that almost made it sound out of tune. The studio version is the best.

  • 11 people were only sinful, not wishful...

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY JIM

  • @fnrebel it wasnt his birthday its the day he died..

  • @fnrebel oppps , thank dude

  • I wonder if Jim ever did any dangerous drugs??

  • @bbbbbzzzzz He did blood!

  • @bbbbbzzzzz

    is that a real question??

  • jim morrison el profeta de la musica jim morrison profet of the music

  • Jim was so unselfish that even though most of the songs and lyrics were by him, he has all the musics sheets say, Music and Lyrics bye The Doors. That is rare. 

  • @SuperSweaterVest what?? really????

  • USA was in choas in '69..Vietnam, presidents murdered..This music is of that period.

  • I remember meeting Jim with his beard on. He was incoherent as if the electrons in his brain cells were out of whack or something. We went out to the bars regularly and got totally sloshed. Good times and Jim paid for everything. He was generous.

  • @SuperSweaterVest That must have been really fun. I'm envious of one man for having a chance to hang out with Jim, and get to know him.

  • I love this video--whatever state of mind he's in--if he's under the influence, so to speak, I don't care. He was a massively talented young man, way way beyond his years and generation. More like a troubador or a shaman of sorts in a suspended time and place of such creativity and originality. Whatever haunted his soul, comes through everything he does--he's mesmerizing and worth respecting at least in his talent and his presence on stage.

  • @masquesandmirrors Well said.

  • @masquesandmirrors

    while I agree with your comment, you are giving to much credit to Jim, most people are forgetting that Jim Morrison would've been nothing without Robby Krieger, John Densmore and Ray Manzarek and it goes the other way around. Only together were they able to achieve the sound they were. They were The Doors, not Jim Morrison and The Band, they were The Doors and it kinda saddens me that most people don't realize that.

  • @masquesandmirrors That is very well said. Thank you.

  • what concert is that where jim wheres a leather jacket?

  • This from a PBS special aired in 1969, is it not? I believe they did live sets and interviews in-between songs, I must admit, as much as I hate the Soft Parade album, I do like this live version of Wishful Sinful. a lot.

  • love this song the doors are well good jim looks well cool here

  • por lo que veo se ve que ray manzarek y jim morrison se identificaban mas q los otros 2 ,pero todos tenian mucho talento y tienen creo por q no todos han muerto,aunque el del sex appeal era jim morrison,poeta,musico,el lo tenia todo,aunque creo yo q no se puede tener todo en realidad todo ala vez,ahi artistas q si lo logran,pero mi pregunta es ,en realidad fue jim morrison feliz???????

  • 11 assholes

  • Comment removed

  • @jsilence418 mate, i can totally relate , just watch the film, when you're strange and i can't stop farting!

  • @SuperTubezZ I hear you man, no I mean it , I can hear you farting all the way over here.! I'm glad thats the only sense active here!!!!

  • This song is a masterpiece, one of my favorite songs by the band.

  • I wish they'd put this out on a remastered cd or vinyl. Its nice to hear a stripped down version of the "Soft Parade" album.

  • morrison is an alien time traveller .wormholehere i come aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Jim's voice towards the end was outstanding. L.A. Woman and The Soft Parade show this to be true. On The Road by Jack Kerouac was olso a masive influence on Jim, if you read it you may get a bit if insight into the man. Kerouac said someting about he prefers people that go fast like a firework, as aposed to people who burn slow and dim like a candle. That's Jim.

  • noai palabras solo el es el mero del rock n roll que se pudran los demas que se quiere ser como el la musica de hoy en dia apesta 

  • jim and elvis duking it out for the championship!!!!!!!!!!

  • love jim' s santa claus version

  • I remember when Jim started growing that beard. Pam said it was 'hideous'. Far cry from the days at Venice Beach. Those were good times.

  • Reading these comments reminds me of one thing, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and it stinks. Unless you are Mr. Mojo Risin's brain(which would make you surely insane)you have no idea why his life was the way it was. He loved alcohol first and foremost, every book will tell you that. Understanding his severe nature of addiction is almost impossible, unless you were a rockstar drunk in the 60s. Also, Huxley's "Doors of Perception was just as big an influence on Jim as Blake's.

  • ?what?

  • @keyboard2108 continued...the influence of William Blake's "the doors of perception" and the reason for the group's title, the band admitting something strange coming over them and Jim on their performances, Jim's mocking insult of Christianity in the lyrics "you cannot petition the Lord with prayer", the depiction of the painting "The Last Supper" on the back of one of their album covers with the group seated around a bust of Alistair Crowey, all to further the influence of Satan through music

  • @rainstormz28 you do realize that he wasn't into Satan or any other crap like that, right? You also know that he trumped up his whole experience with native americans dying all over the place so he could make himself seem like he was channeling them too right? People like you tend to romanticize Jim Morrison when a lot of what he did was very choreographed and melodramatic.

  • @keyboard210 Google Jim Morrison and the Occult to begin with. I was a teenager in 1967 when the Doors first hit it big and became one of their biggest fans until I discovered some twenty years later the truth, I believe, behind their music. In reading "No One Here Gets Out Here Alive" by Danny Sugarman, one of the closest persons to the group, ever, I learned the meaning of the lyrics "ghosts crowded the young boy's fragile eggshell mind"

  • 11 people aren't wishful and sinful.

  • @SebasGTA431 what the fuck does that even mean? "11 people aren't wishful and sinful.".. Are you fishing for likes? I'm sick of reading bullshit comments on how many people have 'disliked' the video. Perhaps this is why Facebook still doesn't include a 'dislike' button, because if it did people who genuinely do not like something would have to deal with other people's crap. I like this, but if I didn't, I shouldn't be singled out as a minority. 95% of vids must have more likes...which figures!!

  • @pixiescam and what the fuck is it your problem? You're a fucking asshole. I don't care about the fuckin' shits that the stupid people write to me. This is a free web and I love The doors. And two words: FUCK YOU!

  • It's the poetry man, it's the music , this group has it all.

  • I really like this song but I can't believe I ever got into this band. Big regret.

  • @snizz6913

    Why would that be a regret?

  • @snizz6913 stfu they are the best ban on the world and Jim got into drugs and booze i he didn't he wold be alive but he woldt be able to make the best poetry in the world

  • i love jim he is so sexy and cool...xxx

  • Was not fat, all the beard and awesomeness weighing him down.

  • What a cool and lovely song!!!! I love it!!! great!!!!

  • @rotes1968 Robbie wrote it

  • I was born in 74 raised up in the eighties and i gotta say the Doors are the very best of the best. when i used to sing in my little crappy no talent bands i wish i had half of the chemistry to play the crowd like Jim did and aspire to be a great poet like the man was. so many people only focus on the darkside of Jims habits but we all know his voice will live forever

  • @subsamadhi..since you seem to be the ultimate Jim Morrison expert, I will leave you and your ilk on this subject alone to wallow in YOUR ignorance...since the one thing that seems preventing you from discovering the truth...SEEKING THE FACTS OUT...is of no concern....
