[DannyCruzz]

[2alleykat]

Thanks 28chaman ,This is fantastic!

[xmotoFF]

does the guy in the begginig say "break on through the other door"?

[Maluquitozito]

@xmotoFF No. "And they sing a song called... Break on through, they are The Doors!"

[sdratlas]

 The audience lost their minds hearing them. That is actually one incredible performance.

[JonasVanRetro]

where is the original audio???

thise is the studio version!!!

[bollozio]

stra in playback



[forresterm27]

According to the band, "Break on Through" incorporated a Bossa Nova drum beat, the keyboard theme from Ray Charles' "What I'd Say" in a different key, the guitar riff from the Butterfield Blues Band's "Shake Your Moneymaker" in a different key, and vocals inspired by the poetry of Dylan Thomas and Brendan Behan. "Break on Through" is a classic song from a phenomenal group.

[oldiesbutgoodies67]

We all know and love the Doors 1st TV Show appearance, on Januay 1, 1967. Certainly, a band that has what it takes to "make it all the way..." Dan O'Niallain

[TheEloeo]

Stop saying "fake" and "obvious lip-sync" EricBoston1992 already explained.

[TheUnknownPerception]

@TheEloeo yeah people are pretty retarded...

[amalfi55]

soooo great Thanks for posting<3<3<3

[smn3DDD]

@12347771 Yardbirds??? Nope, it's another legendary fuzz psychedelic freakbeat act of the 60s... Neil Diamond!

look for the youtube clip watch?v=_OWv9w7RPDU

(there's also a clip of him doing the song "live" on American Bandstand out there somewhere, same episode that had the Electric Prunes)

[rjyrs1]

Jim abhors lyp-synching

[EricBoston1992]

It is being lip synced. Back on old TV performances in the 60s and the 70s, the shows had them lip sync. sometimes they would pre-record the bands part, and let the singer sing live, but in this case they didn't. Shows like Top Of The Pops had the band pre-record a song, then mimic it for television. Check out Rod Stewart performing Maggie May on Top Of The Pops in 1971. A few members of the band, including lead guitarist, were kicking a soccer ball around during the solo, and not even playing.

[jbrandtjnj]

@EricBoston1992 no,he just put in the record virsion in this

[00pakkman]

fake fakefake

[kjohn50083]

definately lip synching

[DadaMarinho]

That seems like playback...

[tirolization]

carisma, thats the thing people in music scene are missing now....jim and band were filled with them...

[rahulkachru]

The sound is not the same as the video , the video looks raw but the sound is a studio version not a live one .

[videofan320]

Great...i love it !!

[nelsonffilho1]

Foda este video...

[gigfydotcom]

nice lipsyncing...

[pmgriffo]

They almost always did lip syncs on tv shows in the 60s,

[Busanbusan]

Presumably this was performed playback, so it should just be higher quality at the cost of novelty.

[magneteye]

Why did you not leave the original audio?

[pollytyke]

Definatley mimed -never mind though !

[miah111111]

The best!



[waynatra]

Definitely lip sync.

[MsTigress66]

The Doors forever!!!!

[MisterMojoSinkin]

Ol' Jimbo just never could be bothered....

[mslkdo]

I loved Casey and was on Shebang many times. Free tickets from the TO rec center. It was always fun!

[tgustafson85]

Fun seeing Casey Kasem intro the act! This was in the days before American Top 40, too!

[OlymPigs2010]

..Take That.. Kayne West..You No Talent Boob!

[TheOwenstube]

Is this mimed? The audio sounds just like the record.

[piafounet]

worst playback i've seen...hehe...they didn't want to act.

[GOORVY]

almost 44 years later... LADYS AND GENTLEMAN, THEY ARE THE DOORS!!!!

[lemurianchick]

If you notice, Jim isn't wearing leather pants yet. He wore a suit coat a la The Beatles. Funny thing--the Beatles had abandoned their suits by 1967...wonder why Jim thought he should wear that...

[12347771]

@lemurianchick

Probably because this was a good 5 months before' Light My Fire' hit. "Break On Through' did them fairly well locally but tanked as far as national recognition until the lp was released 6 monthe later. I spect they dress the way they did because they were still struggling at the time of this show and broke.

[gpac200]

wow such old footage they look so young. But the lip synching sucks poor jim. he looks pissed

[lemurianchick]

The applause was rather anemic, which may explain why the song never charted. It may be because it's kind of a far-out topic, but it's catchy.Jim is pretty subdued here. I am thinking he was nervous or something. He definitely was channeling and not just performing. It's a freaky kind of feeling you get watching him...

[12347771]

@lemurianchick Back in those days fans of this music were termed "the freakouts" because the word "hippie' was not in the common nomenclature. Such intensity was so out of the mainstream. there was a very vibrant strain of plain old "straight" teens in early 67. The revolution and shock was still to come. Chrissakes I feel old

writing this....Namaste"

[CultOfTheGlenda]

@12347771 You are old.

[12347771]

@CultOfTheGlenda

So are Robbie , Ray & John but Jim will be forever young.

Say , dig the quasi 'Yardbirds' theme music for the show rght after the Doors wrap up.On the cusp here in L.A. from Swinging london to Frisco. As Pete Seeger said: "Wasn't that a Time"....g'bleshya Cultperson 93 93/93

[gibsongold1970]

jim probably hated this.lipsync??

[GrizzlTooth]

ha, this is not live audio

[chillroom]

The first tv appearance by the Doors. So why is the stereo track used? The original mono is more important as a document. Nice to see but a disappointment "modernizing" it.

[fatguywithamic]

Shebang was owned by Dick Clark and in the beginning of the run they would ship the kids in a bus up to Bakersfield to tape a week's full of shows at KBAK (channel 29)...Did it on the cheap...Then they did them live with Kasey Kasem as the host in the big studio at channel 5 in LA...Very innovated video on this show...

[12347771]

@fatguywithamic """"K-R-L-A...color radio.."  remember that jingle??

[sincityartie]

@12347771

Color Radio was a Chuck Blore campaign not for KRLA...It was for KFWB...

[12347771]

@sincityartie Thanks you are soooright I remember it all now ........KFWB...CHANNELL98COLOR­ADIOOOOOOOOOO.

Any you tubes that you know from 9the Street West ? hosted by the same guy that was Engineer Bill on Ch.9. I've seen stills of the Byrds clip w Gram......let us know please

[mazyrun09]

jim looks kinda bored havin to lipsync .....what a drag !!!!

[chillroom]

Fascinating, though this would be better if the original mono lip-synch soundtrack were here. Dubbing over the stereo version is mighty distracting, even if it is timed to Jim's lip movements very well.

[turtle847]

I did find a couple of listings for "She-Bang" but almost no information.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

i just read about this on a blogspot but there is NO info about a los angeles tv show called "Shebang" that I can find. It was local wasnt it? info: To promote the single, the Doors made their television debut on a Los Angeles TV show called Boss City, circa 1966, possibly early 1967 and then on a Los Angeles TV show called Shebang, miming to "Break On Through," on New Years 1967. This clip has never been officially released by the Doors but can be seen on YouTube."

[turtle847]

I can't find Shebang either, were you thinking of the show Shindig?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

well what i read on wikipedia it is SHEBANG not shindig

[renc2000]

was that last part for a question you got wrong on a quiz some where on the internet?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

read about it on wikipedia...i think.

[GOORVY]

well there's also a video of The Seeds on this TV Show

so you can search about this show searching about The Seeds

[SandySummers]

I would love to get a copy of the Shebang theme song. Does anyone know who sings it?

[xraymond10]

Casey Kasem and the Doors.

What a KOOKY paradox.

[rodoorsfopeyote]

This is historical...

thank you and be careful with the copyright 'cause WMG sucks!

[GOORVY]

yeah!!!!!

excelent!!!

te first tv show for The Doors

good video!
