I think, really, it goes without saying, that Jim is not at his best here. But I really don't think it matters. Any Doors fan will have heard the studio version of this and will therefore not give a shit how he sounds here :)
There is another version on Peace Frog that was performed the day before this one.. and Jim wasn't drunk.. he sounded perfect. Out of the four New York shows, he only drank on the last show.
@slipdrum80 Jim drank every single show. Sometimes he got hammered, sometimes not. It was a shame how things went towards the end. But that was just the deal. I have a lot of 1970 live recordings. On some, Jim sounds like the best singer ever. On others he really isn't very good. the band were usually solid though.
Maybe yes....I get alot of replies like yours. I always go back and listen again....Yeah, probably buzzed up....BUT, I have heard other stuff where you barely understand him, Here, he IS fired up but not sloppy. He pronounces all words with no slurring. But, yes, I'm sure he partied from hotel room to backstage and on stage all along the way. Good reply...thanks man! Peace
Hey xterra43 so you must be like 67 because how would you know what Jim Morrison felt like..keep your stupid meaningless comments for your momma that never held you enough as a child..they stuck by him through all his drug b.s. and he died b4 they could milk him FFFF ____ UUUU
Hey xterra43 so you must be like 67 because how would you know what Jim Morrison felt like..keep your stupid meaningless comments for your momma that never held you enough as a child
jim chooses to sing in a raspy voice during a live performance and some of you guys jump to spirit possession as the reason? any logic or reasoning to back that up? give the man his due credit for being a great performer and quit putting the focus on invisible boogey men pulling his strings
lol the reasoning is that he was a raging alcoholic who was most likely drunk like he was just about everyday of his life, tbh i think it adds to his persona and the only bad thing about his alcoholism is that it killed him too young
There is a lot ppl dont understand about the Doors(of perception). jims not drunk here he is possessed. thats why his voice always sounds remarkably different. watch any interview with members of the doors and they all easily admit jims spirit possession. morrison practiced shamanism very uncarefully and often enticed evil spirits more often times than good ones.....this is why he drank so much because the booz was the only thing that made the voices in his head go away. research dont assume!!
PEACE & BLOOD IN THE STREETS !!! FROGS ARE EVIL CREATURES !!! I LIVE ON THE RIVER OF SADNESS....ITS WEEPIN ...THE BITCH WITH THE SUNLIGHT IN HER HAIR ALWAYS RUINS EVERYTHING ...GUNS .... BLOOD...THE END... OH AND DONT FORGOT THE GHOSTS OF THE DEAD ENGINES...CHEIF HALLOWKING SAYS YEAH !!!! BLOOD IS THE ROSE OF MYSTERIOUS HUMOR....LALALALALALALALALAALALA ITS FOLLOWIN ME!!!
Morrison is really lit in this performance. Intensity is there but performance is lacking the real Jim. He was there but not completely...notice how the band pulls him through his timing off, his voice betrayed by his excess
no jim is fucking wasted here, he's stumbling over his own lyrics. dont get me wrong the doors are the greatest band ever but hearing some of the later live concerts you could tell it was all getting to him.
I can't tell if he's drunk here. A live recording of LA Woman... was more obvious. Quite frankily... I don't care. It's a great song. He just sounds really passionate to me. Nothing more.
You kids say Jim is ripped here you dont know! Sounds about as sober as he'd ever want to be on this cut... Jim became a madman later on in his life. But who wouldnt back then w/ that much pressure, law suits, the madness during touring. Hell I became a madman/addict just working and playin' locally... Long Live The Lizzard King______________ .
@ColMalibu He easily could have been ripped. He was not only a madman later on in his life. I'm reading his biography right now. He's always been crazy.
Drunk as a skunk as usual. I dont know how the band put up with it. They had to babysit him 24/7. No wonder Densmore had enough in New Orleans not long after this concert.
Hey xterra43 so you must be like 67 because how would you know what Jim Morrison felt like..keep your stupid meaningless comments for your momma that never held you enough as a child..they stuck by him through all his drug b.s. and he died b4 they could milk him FFFF ____ UUUU
I don't deny Morrison is under some influence here, but if anyone wants to hear him when he was really ripped, there a fair amount of material from the infamous March 1, 1969 Miami concert - he slurs his way through "Love Me Two Times" and got worse from there. No comparison between this performance and that Miami show.
jim wasnt not wasted at all.. he was just Jim.. you never knew how he would perform an that was the excitement.. but jim never wanted his performance to be his main source of entertainment.. it was about his words.. just his words
Doesnt sound like there is much enthusiasm from Morrison here, I would imagine his best concert performing days were behind him, sad to actually listen to this, in comparison to Morrison in his prime in 68
@jcstriper oke its sounds great but hes wasted xD if hes not i dont wanna know what he did and how he spoke if he was.. i mean its almost out of tune and tone.. no offense but still he was a really high user of well everything that wasnt soposed to be taken in massive amounts..
@bushokjew00t he was a high user of alcohol, but thats somewhat false about the everything part. He would take massive amounts eveyry once in a while, but he was never addicted to any drugs outside of alcohol
@noobpowner901 Morrison's intake of drugs was indiscriminate. As Grace Slick, who toured Europe with him, has said, Jim would take anything offered to him. And in large quantities. Though not an actual junkie, it was heroin that most likely did him in.
@jcstriper not at all actually, he is possessed which is a lot different than intense. you can tell by the highly satanic tone in his voice. I am not "judging" this a bad thing. the doors are one of my fav. bands but so few people know the truth about jims demonic possession and struggles with it
I don't think Morrison is totally wasted here; seriously buzzed - yes, but not shitfaced. If he were shitfaced I doubt he would have been able to transpose his lyrics as he does at 2:40 when he says "blood stains the palms and roof trees of Venice".
Morrison, when really drunk, would slur his lyrics to the point of being unintelligble - he isn't that way here.
@artiebarnes wow u lucky son of a gun..."celebration of the lizard" and" when the musics over" were amazing on that gig did u go 1st or 2nd night?dont u have any pictures left where are they and why dont u post some?im gobsmacked..that gig was quite exclusive as the doors were banned from playing to the public due to the miami incident...
oh man ,poetry is soooo diff,im soo lazy and never entertained the thought of being a poet, however i waken in the morning of pages of stuff that i never thought i could write, but my writing is related to legal stuff and im in blood up to my footprint,99 oh yeaahhh
jim was some hot man and also a great poet and every time he invented a poem he sang it to his wife and she would say if it sounded good as a song he also made poet books and making poems is some hard shit.
he actelly dident get mariedd he was whit pamela and then he left her and went whit his maneger i tink it was his maneger idk but he maried some one else by witch craft thoe so it wasent a real mariege and it was said tht he had a child by the one he maried then he left her and whent back whit pamela coz he love her
what were your impressions of both shows? .... did morrison still have it by '70? ... how did the doors stand out in re to other bands of the day? .. would really like to hear from fans like u who really got to see the real deal live.
I saw them in '68 and they were amazing with Morrison jumping all over the place and doing free form poetry throughout the set. When I saw them in '70 the Miami trial was hanging over him, so the antics were out and it was a straight on music show and I thought they were also great then. He still had it, and he seemed pretty sober. It wasn't as free form as the Singer Bowl show, but they were still a tight band and the show was excelllent.
bopalena... thanks man, you were indeed lucky to have been in that unique era & seen those great bands. I missed the period by a decade.... lastly, in re to the doors. were they as popular then when morrison was alive as oppossed to the retro interest from '80's - present??? .. also, amongst your peers in highschool & college age, did the doors stand out as singular & unique in form from other bands then, b/c in retro their sound to me stands out & was morrison seen as the rebel icon he is now?
As for other bands, there was great music all over the place and I was lucky enough to see many of them at the Fillmore East and other places. Duane Allman, Johnny & Edgar Winter (saw Johnny last night and he to' it up!), Jimi, Janis, Santana, Zappa, Lennon, Zeppelin, etc. I saw 'em all and I'm glad I lived through that era. It's good to be old!
furthermore in re to doors & their era..the doors seemed to really be on their on insular singular trip. infact, what i find interesting is amongst their musical peers it seemed morrison was either discounted or shunned. unlike hendrix, joplin, stones & others its as if the industry shunned them to some degree. its not like he hung or was friends w/ many of the acts, plus u rarely hear artist from that era then or now give him his true due. perhaps jealousy, misunderstanding or fear.. your take?
From about 1969 until he died in 1971 The press, especially Rolling Stone magazine usually crucified the Doors, Morrison in particular. Read the reviews of their albums from "Soft Parade" on and they weren't too kind. Of course, now we know that they're all classics, but then with the Miami incident, them doing songs with an orchestra, etc. they didn't get it. John Sebastian played harp on "Roadhouse Blues" album and went under another name to disassociate himself with their "reputation".
Back then I was one of the only ones I knew who liked the Doors. Most of my friends thought they were too commercial after the first 2 albums, but I always stood my ground. I loved them then and I love 'em now. SInce then I've met Ray and Robbie on seperate occasions and they were great guys. They both said the Singer Bowl show I saw on 8/2/68 was one of the best shows they ever did and I'm glad I was there as well!
rolling stone do that all the time, they dismissed led zep and nirvana and now they cock ride kurt cobain all the time. Though mind you most people think the soft parade was the weakest album so a negative review isnt that surprising. Either way rolling stone magazines influence in music has been impotent for decades, thank god.
I haven't read Rolling Crap magazine since 1980 and then it was only to pass the time. The Doors are amazing then, now and forever! I'm glad I got to see them twice.
Youre completely right;they were very much shunned by many other music artists. Nobody has ever written much about it. Jim Morrison was supposedly not a very friendly person overall;yet it was George Harrison who connected with him in London when the Doors performed there. Its not easy to tell what the truth was regarding his immediate personality. Joni Mitchell liked him and considered him a genuine poet in the same vein as Bob Dylan, she said that in an interview.
//// Great input ther....one of the first coments ive read that made me think things that i aint foort befor....nice one Smolley. I guess time makes everyone think peeps are gods, when, there good muso's, but still really rude.....are they hand in hand?
hahahaha... i love thing song, and this version in particular.
...especially when he says "blood stains the palms and the roof trees of venice"... hahaha... wonder if he was that stoned or just managed to forget his own lyrics....

jim was some hot man and also a great poet and every time he invented a poem he sang it to his wife and she would say if it sounded good as a song he also made poet books and making poems is some hard shit.

I saw the 1/17/70 early show at the Felt Forum and I saw 'em at the Singer Bowl with the Who on 8/2/68 (my first rock and roll concert). Lucky me!

what were your impressions of both shows? .... did morrison still have it by '70? ... how did the doors stand out in re to other bands of the day? .. would really like to hear from fans like u who really got to see the real deal live.

I saw them in '68 and they were amazing with Morrison jumping all over the place and doing free form poetry throughout the set. When I saw them in '70 the Miami trial was hanging over him, so the antics were out and it was a straight on music show and I thought they were also great then. He still had it, and he seemed pretty sober. It wasn't as free form as the Singer Bowl show, but they were still a tight band and the show was excelllent.

bopalena... thanks man, you were indeed lucky to have been in that unique era & seen those great bands. I missed the period by a decade.... lastly, in re to the doors. were they as popular then when morrison was alive as oppossed to the retro interest from '80's - present??? .. also, amongst your peers in highschool & college age, did the doors stand out as singular & unique in form from other bands then, b/c in retro their sound to me stands out & was morrison seen as the rebel icon he is now?

As for other bands, there was great music all over the place and I was lucky enough to see many of them at the Fillmore East and other places. Duane Allman, Johnny & Edgar Winter (saw Johnny last night and he to' it up!), Jimi, Janis, Santana, Zappa, Lennon, Zeppelin, etc. I saw 'em all and I'm glad I lived through that era. It's good to be old!

furthermore in re to doors & their era..the doors seemed to really be on their on insular singular trip. infact, what i find interesting is amongst their musical peers it seemed morrison was either discounted or shunned. unlike hendrix, joplin, stones & others its as if the industry shunned them to some degree. its not like he hung or was friends w/ many of the acts, plus u rarely hear artist from that era then or now give him his true due. perhaps jealousy, misunderstanding or fear.. your take?

From about 1969 until he died in 1971 The press, especially Rolling Stone magazine usually crucified the Doors, Morrison in particular. Read the reviews of their albums from "Soft Parade" on and they weren't too kind. Of course, now we know that they're all classics, but then with the Miami incident, them doing songs with an orchestra, etc. they didn't get it. John Sebastian played harp on "Roadhouse Blues" album and went under another name to disassociate himself with their "reputation".

Back then I was one of the only ones I knew who liked the Doors. Most of my friends thought they were too commercial after the first 2 albums, but I always stood my ground. I loved them then and I love 'em now. SInce then I've met Ray and Robbie on seperate occasions and they were great guys. They both said the Singer Bowl show I saw on 8/2/68 was one of the best shows they ever did and I'm glad I was there as well!

rolling stone do that all the time, they dismissed led zep and nirvana and now they cock ride kurt cobain all the time. Though mind you most people think the soft parade was the weakest album so a negative review isnt that surprising. Either way rolling stone magazines influence in music has been impotent for decades, thank god.

I haven't read Rolling Crap magazine since 1980 and then it was only to pass the time. The Doors are amazing then, now and forever! I'm glad I got to see them twice.

Youre completely right;they were very much shunned by many other music artists. Nobody has ever written much about it. Jim Morrison was supposedly not a very friendly person overall;yet it was George Harrison who connected with him in London when the Doors performed there. Its not easy to tell what the truth was regarding his immediate personality. Joni Mitchell liked him and considered him a genuine poet in the same vein as Bob Dylan, she said that in an interview.
