yeah...he was a little fuzzy on what songs he used which, but having owned a few voxs the keys were bad on the early Italian ones, later they were made by Thomas organ and were better, I had a super Continental double keyboard where he had just a cont. I notice you have a black top bass, you probably know you can go online to ebay theres a company taht custom makes the sparkle top so you can really be authentic...also he had one with chocolate tolex
, not Farfisa or Vox....he used both later but not on the first album...not only do I own one but I know him personally and I can see the organ on the clip.
@watcher9987 I was thinking that, according to a Ray Manzarek interview that I saw, that on the recorded version of "Light My Fire", he used the Vox Keyboard but eventually switched to the Gibson/Lowrey organ because the Vox's keys were prone to breaking, causing Ray to go to the Gibson/Lowrey one.
Absolutely stellar. One of the best videos I've ever seen on YouTube. I'm just like you.... can't read a note but i can play keys, guitar and drums at an extremely high level for some odd reason. Bottom line: nearly everyone performing live must play from memory---memory is the 'great equalizer'.
Very nice, Vox Continetal and Fender Rhodes, perfect combination, congratulations, excelente sound. Manzarek and you, have to use all brain playind bass with de left hand, and right melody and chords. Amazing
I dont' care what others say. This is true magic.I am in awe.Light My Fire' is a song that I never grow tired of.I too,am self taught on guitar and keyboard.You are such an inspiration.
Some things where missed at the end such as when Jim is saying " you know when it would be untrue" Ray plays it a higher chord. Also Ray plays it tighter. This is a good start , but you have a lot of work to do if you or any one can really get it truly right.
dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you need to talk to me! call me at 361-834-9680 i was to be jim in the movie but val got the gig wait till you hear me sing i sing as good as you key!
wow looks really hard I think The Doors had one of the best organists Ray was great but i feel like i should call him by his full name Raymond Daniel Manzeryk
I love it when an artist hits it dead on. Some artist like to change it to make it "theirs". THANK-YOU very much for hitting this one dead nuts on. Wonderful playing, you have a lot of talent and I hope you continue. BTW I owned a genuine Vox Super Continental in the 70's and your playing brings back a lot of memories. THANKS !
lololol I have an Uncle Fred who has a stack of Doors albums in his mom's basement, but he plays guitar and doesnt live there... (There used to be a bunch of old organs down there, but they were sold and given away before I started playing, and I would bet cash there was a Vox down there)
Man, ill bet your neighbors really love you! Seriously though, IF i could play a keyboard, id want to be able to do EXACTLY THAT! Unfortunatly, i have been blrssed with an ability to play a guitar....hahahahaha! GREAT JOB!
WOW!!!! That was fantastic!!!! I was just browsing through You Tube and I just stumbled on your video - I have to say this is one of my all time favorite songs and you nailed it. I just love to see people play vintage instruments. You just can't replicate the Vox organ with modern synths. Can you do the whole uncut album version?
Nevermind the comments that you get my friend, you know how good you are , and I know (I've been playing for a lot longer than you and believe me your MUCH better LOL) how good you are. When you kick an empty can, it makes a hollow empty sound.......just like some of the comments you've recieved. People are entitled to their own opinion...even if they are WRONG ...keep up your awesome playing, I really envy you those awesome voxes.....they beat the crap out of my Moog and Rolands......Cheers M8.
cool one i like it!!!!!
