slavery is in the mind as long as u dont acceppt that your a slave you will never be one. I dont see the world like most hate tv, hate most people, hate sports football and basketball are boring to me, im not what you call you average american mind, who knows maybe i will have somthing i want to say to the world, dont accept what any man tells u. look inside the unkown mystery, it will guide you in the realm of the unkown, but u will know that your actions come from within the soul

[mrgettostomp]

[CrazySchool09]

How did this not end up in full on the album?! Well, I like this version better.

[portcityperson]

Justin Bieber kinda improvises poetically as well during his mesmerizing shows.

[Hughseffer]

[NoatallicA]

I am the Lizard King

[420metalcat]

this song controls my dreams man, brilliant!!

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

what's a stranger between old souls

[MegaLiam84]

Epic is an overused term on the internet, but this truly is an EPIC, EPIC, EPIC journey of a song.

Im intoxicated right now and this is tripping me the fuck out, If I was actually present in this state when this was recorded I feel I may have had a narcotic euphoria induced

auto-orgasm. Feed youf head

[psychedellic420]

I am now a liZard

[DasGoldenBoy]

Come on Jim, do you want everybody to be quiet or scream obscenities before the celebration?

[dhamejapankaj]

[PinkFloydFan413]

Close your eyes forget your name.....

[mayorde18]

just me, or this song is about drugs?

[joel9229]

The Doors were more than just a band, a performance or an spectacle.

[tonycatman]

I've said this before. The best live band that there has ever been.

So much more than music - an atmosphere, a performance, a story, ideas, poetry, sexuality, stimulation.

[kahlan4182]

@tonycatman you can't say that led zeppelin was incredible live too.

[erretjeo]

One of my best friends Bas is probably watching this as we speak

[undercat1982]

@erretjeo You know me to well!

[PicoHaribo]

its just song lads get your shit toghter sorry about the english

[ThoseGreenDayz]

I'm doing a "project" on The Lizard King in school right now. But it means more to me than that. I'm having some sort of spiritual experience. I'm not taking this lightly, this means more to me than anything I've done in a long time.

[Taliaisfuckinghawt99]

it's funny because his occult name is "The Lizard King"

[TheKaytaqattacks]

"we've only done this in front of a couple strangers" man in audience:"WHOS THE STRANGER???????"

[sangringo1]

great poet, writer and all round cool

[AK4TsEv3N]

PUT THIS MASTERPIECE, THEN CLOSE YOUR EYES, LISTEN CAREFUL....

[sonicsteev]

Jim i miss yea ive got tears in my eyes for yea now!

[222Lightning]

what is now WHAT IS NOW now that I am still relatively young yet Jim is not. His life moved on, his corpse long invaded. What is life for anyone can grow old and feel intimidation and disrespect from the new young replacements with they're evil smiles of dismisal and confidence. But it the wise and truly humaneful who does not fear growing grey and being displaced by the new storm of now.

[Mikewuzawski]

i love the live doors because of jim..he was a true showmen long live jim RIP

[psychedeliclizard1]

Is this from absoluteley live?

[djdjany]

@psychedeliclizard1 No, it isn't. 

[TheDoorcia]

When I woke up this morning I got myself for beer.. Oh Jimbo What you do to us...? See you in heaven....

[daviddemola]

Where do you find this version (other than here, of course)? I've looked for it for years and have never been able to download it.

[delilah514]

@daviddemola It is from the Doors Box Set - Disc 2 Live in New York (released 1997). It may be on another live album. But that is the one I have that this exact version is on.

[brandonskanes96]

i cant believe he's been dead for 40 years

[metyuewb]

Well, Morrison sure as hell couldn't get a record deal today, no doubt about that.

[dustin3792]

@metyuewb i think he could, i mean I know all of us would buy it

[metyuewb]

@dustin3792 no....my point is you'd never hear about him in the first place. They could never get this kind of music out there today. Look at the market.

[dustin3792]

@metyuewb very true but there our the few of us left who know real music

[metyuewb]

@dustin3792 great, how bout we start running the market?

[dustin3792]

@metyuewb haha sounds good to me, maybe we can actually show kids what music is supposed to sound like

[TheSeldomSeenDude]

Man, that must have been some really good shit they were smoking.

[zeprock70]

I want Jim back. I want the Doors back... I want this whole era back.

[MGCguy]

@zeprock70 I want my Door back!

[MrSenorjarvis]

jim, rest in fucking peace.

[ShanghiKnight13]

O.O (shivers)

[MsNeuroticPoet]

"I don't know if you're aware of it but this, this whole evening is being taped for eternity and beyond that too."...... if you only knew Jim, but then again... maybe you did.

We loved you then and we still love you... 'for eternity and beyond that too.' <3

[GrizzlTooth]

this sounds like it was done live, 1970, felt forum.

[psychedeliclizard1]

scary,smart,AWSOME



[11PoppyMorrison11]

FUCK ME ! WOW 

[pedaenano]

[zeprock70]

@pedaenano I'd love to check it out when it's done. :)

[Mazurka1001]

Aldous Huxley: The Doors of Perception...

[SuperJiggawhat]

I once listened to the doors.....then I listened to the doors on weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

[FuckYouBenjamin]

@SuperJiggawhat hahahaha, very different hey !

[mrmojorisin291278]

Happy Birthday Jimmy this is my xmas day xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[ibehl]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOJO RISIN!!! (In Memoriam . . . )

[vengefulpunk]

Happy Birthday Jim, RIP <3

[The888mph]

When I was 14 I went to visit his grave in Paris. I wanted to leave this silver ring I had there to him, but thought better of it (I really liked the ring, k?)

The following day, when I woke up, I reached for the ring to put it on my finger and it broke in 2 pieces, without me touching it. Each piece just flew to different sides of the hotel room.

[FuckingTheWorldOver]

@The888mph jim morrison's pissed.

[swanski100]

@FuckingTheWorldOver nobody messes with Morrison!

[dantreel]

@The888mph  WHAT YOU GIVE, YOU GIVE TO YOURSELF: WHAT YOU DONT GIVE, YOU TAKE AWAY FROM YOURSELF

[acticmonkeysfan324]

@The888mph should have left it man, did you feel the presence of anything while it happend?

[mrwright009]

@The888mph your full of feces

[The888mph]

@mrwright009 No, not really.

[slayboomer]

@The888mph

 That's not his real grave.....

[MoonLightDrive27]

yes it is james douglas morrison's grave read his biography.

[BloteAapOpVoeten]

@slayboomer when you see a grave you can think about that person. sometimes you connect with the spirit, but for that you don't really have to be at the grave. And of course it's not his real grave, why would they make that public. With fans comes haters. So what are you trying to say with 'That's not his real grave.....'? I find it a very intriguing story.

[Bobwaits4u]

@The888mph --- ARE YOU SERIOUS???

[seppukuification925]

@The888mph

ok and?

[desertrat198]

@The888mph , YOU CANNOT PETITION THE JIM WITH THE RING. Or so it seems...lol

[ItsSoPlausible]

@The888mph

The ring is the symbol of slavery that mankind has become bonded to and it's breaking is a message of hope to you.

It all began with the church saying we know God, then they said to be in love with someone you have to have us say it is so and wear this ring. It all starts with controlling love like that, then the Illuminati come in and get hihacked by the church then the bankers then politicians.

It means it is all coming down and about to break apart No more slave collars no rings

[TheKeegan95]

the color orange rocks!

[mrmojorisin291278]

This has nothing to do with jim but i can tell you i have taken many trips or acid in my life and i can assure you 9 microdots in one go and a lot of skunk and iv never thought i was anyone else or seen any wierd shit at all and all the acid i took was acompenied by the doors playing. The only time i have ever seen wierd stuff was on DMT and that shit to me was the only thing that has ever made me see mad things. acid only made me see the world clearly my perception was cleansed. as Blake said.

[SuperPammiesue]

@mrmojorisin291278 im with on this one

[SuperPammiesue]

@mrmojorisin291278 

[onthinice766]

all doors people are on to something..something real

[scatpack]

why would screaming givde you a bad acid trip you should listen to agoraphobic nosebleed next time you trippp

[LittleTacoBoy13]

hahaha i can imagine all the bad acid trips jim is giving people ,calm speaking to screaming in seconds with screaming guitars ,organs , then calm again bringing them back to a happy state

[Hofkicks]

Well we are the eternity of this time.

[jimmathjim]

How much are you getting to have that link on your video?

[jimmathjim]

Are they paying you to have that Doors "music link" - Celebration of the Lizard on your video? How much are you getting?

Darren

[crashedsurver]

what album is this from?

[MrHesiode]

@crashedsurver "the doors box set part 1 ", disc 2, produit par Bruce Botnick and the doors, editeur Chris Charlesworth.

[Centrance00PL]

Jimi make us ignorance. And he liked it

The pure perception of mind.

The Best.

Congratulations Jimi You'are The Best. You'are the One. You are The Lizard King

[jkt711]

What concert is this from?!

[DMPFace]

I have a version thats some 20 minutes

this seems shorter or from a different concert

[guyNbluejeans]

Maybe it's just me, but he sounds full of himself. In any case, I could only stomach a couple of minutes of it before I had to turn it off.

[phil9GIJM9]

I am The Lizard King,

I Can Do Anything...

[Kelly14UK]

Go Insane...

[Dudethatstrippin]

@Kelly14UK Im wayyy ahead if you, man.

[sgtdarkness1]

When it's barely snowing at night but it looks like a blizzard and you pull off the road because you're scared to drive in the blizzard, you're there. Like CSN said, Long Time Gone. Peace to my 60s brothers, who grew up in the 60s, but are now in their 60s................weird man weird.

[lespaulstudio90]

a poet! a visionary! an artist! the world is enrichened by you...long live in the souls of mankind Jim!

[poky360]

omg VVVVv dreamy

[cadgod120]

Long live our king, the Lizard King.

[killerwocz]

Its about reptiles in human bloodline.

[iggypoprhcp]

What concert was this?

[Stimulator7]

@iggypoprhcp nope, oops, sorry, its actually

LIVE AT THE AQUARIUS THEATRE (spelling?)

[iggypoprhcp]

@Stimulator7 Thanks, bro.

[visionsofjosh]

an epic poetry masterpiece

[Markb25266]

>:-)-<(0)-(-:()

[GOORVY]

The Doors gave (ive) the best concerts ever!!!

[bdogg38128]

WAITTTT!!!!!......there's been a slaughter here....

[alexandersname]

never been scarier horrah

[666ultraviolence]

the nearest i could find to the full 17 minute version, back when music really was interesting and you could put the singers in the same league as all the great poets down the centuries, what happened???

[SpassMacher2000]

@666ultraviolence they're still out there. They just aren't mainstream. Phish.

[moonloon0]

could a partner please upload the full 15 min version?

Thx :)

[thebigredrocket]

@moonloon0 can't. Youtube WILL NOT allow it (has to be under 10 minutes. That's why there's no full 17 minute version of it. Same with Hendrix's "Machine Gun".)

[hiccups264]

Okay, who the hell is the one person who disliked the video?

[copatoro]

@hiccups264 I know right, haha.. ONE person had to ruin it.

[mudater]

The Lizard King will be always with us! He came to open the doors, and he got it!

[thelostboys4]

This version is the best of this song, the one on absolutely live is different, sounds softer to me, this is the version with the most energy and feeling in it, this version is one of the songs that changed my life

[alexiserquiaga]

he will be here for ever

[TheArachnoid]

And for ever young.

[2000toddowen]

This isn't the version from the Absolutely Live album. It is a better version, in my opinion.

And my guess is that it was recorded before 1970

[kev118100]

this piece changed my life in the year 2003

[TheClaiiire]

is this from the 1970 new york live cd?

[Adras29]

@TheClaiiire

From Abslolutly live if I don't make a mistake..

[BlackCatBadLuck13]

no, its on Absolutely live but this is a different version.

[SuperHardshell]

@BlackCatBadLuck13 -Live at the Forum-Philly

[Starpass]

Kundalini meditation. The Kundalini snake.

The opening of the mind is what he means.

[fupasack2]

will someone please explain to me this lizard king

[ExterminanceTV]

@fupasack2 Mescalito.

[fupasack2]

robertos taco grande

[lebakabaka]

Really?

[fupasack2]

sorry i dont know every trivia question of every band ever made since the beginning of time. but i suppose you do

[gearheadred]

@fupasack2 The Lizard King was an alter ego that Jim made up as the "shaman" or "erotic politician" who could literally do anything he wanted to without recourse, which was his antithesis to the "free love hippie", like a tormented Adonis who's only desire was to stretch the bounds of reality and living poetry, to become a visionary through "a long boundless and systematic disordering of the senses".

[tylertoon2]

All Hail the Lizard KING!!!

[afterlife1974]

mysticjaz

well born in 74 never encounter them in rl but took acid as well together with doors at the speakers.

I can tell u they touched my hart as well and that night i lost something not something i couldnt miss but innocent believes in society and how they would care for us all.

the doors bring my emotions in the right balance and not thinking how fucked up the world really is.

Jimmy being a anarchist is something u can spread to music i thank u for that R.i.P

[Metalhead4569]

Listen to the actual studio version on my page :D

[carterharrington]

Hail to the lizard king

[mysticjaz]

More years ago than I care to mention, my friends and I took some acid, and listened to the version of this on Absolutely Live. Shortly thereafter, with this unearthly music reverberating in our heads, we walked outside in subzero weather and got into a misadventure that nearly cost us our lives.

Many bands are "rebellious", but none are truly dangerous, nor pose a real threat to social order like the Doors. Sure, they fucked up; but they had POWER!

What's become of us?

[ThinCrustPizza67]

@mysticjaz That is exactly why I still believe Jim was assasinated, exterminated by the government, CIA. At the time..after the war and Jim with all of his anti-war anti authority antics is what I believe made him a target..because the doors did and do still have the power to altering one's perception if all meanings are understood by the individual...He was only twenty fucking seven years old, His doctor reported he had been healthy before he left to paris. And his body was never seen by anyone

[stevom31]

@ThinCrustPizza67 you are probably right about the assasination.. he was a shaman.. this isnt allowed because it unites people in spiritual awakening..but his father was involved in the "uss liberty incident" and was totally opposed to the govt stance on this.. very outspoken..jims possible murder? im starting to believe
