  • From what I've read, at one of the Dallas concerts, Jim lost it, the Energy, as Ray Manzarek termed it. I think he was a different person after the Miami incident. Compare his early pictures to his post-Miami pictures...you'll see that the spark has left his eyes. I believe he had massive depression issues the last couple of years.

  • I am 41 yrs old born 12/10/70 and IF this concert banner is correct it makes me a day old. ) I always loved their beats their sounds and of course Jim`s voice. To this day i am a Doors fan and always compare The Doors to other music and call me crazy but i will say with out a doubt The Doors in my mind are the true Gods of Alternative Rock Bands and the finding fathers of Alternative Rock. I thank my uncles and aunts for introducing this great music to me.

  • Thank you shamanking022. Cool stuff but I prefer the original with Ray's rampaging piano.

  • I think I like this better than the studio version!!! And the studio version is my favourite doors song!!

  • Whoever you are out there, your greatly appreciated for recording this live. Not knowing we would never hear him or the doors live again. If i could see you face to face i would shake your hand for this.. Thank you whoever you are..

  • Thank you so much for this. I never knew that LA Woman was ever played live.

  • it's an early Version...Jim improsive more the lyrics...he will later sing it in that way, we know the song ;)

    he didn't ruined it

  • I guess not allow to bring movie camera! :(

  • just imagine if this was properly recorded, would be awsome. Such a shame

  • Awesome buildup! Three of the Doors were consistently great. Densmore wrote that 50% of the shows they did were great, 10% were ruined by technical screwups and 40% were ruined by Jim.

  • This was the only time this was ever played live, thank god it was recorded.

  • Pretty good. Checkin in. Yeah I was drunk. So was the audience. That makes 2 of us. Do the funky chicken all over my empty Parisian grave. Don't believe everything you hear or read. Not even what you see. The hand is quicker than the eye. Then create something new w / your mind. TLK

  • I was at this concert This is a small concert hall unlike the Dallas Memorial auditorium or Tarrant County Convention Center. They played so great. Robbie kreiger's solos were beautiful.

    Jim stood there drinking Texas Tall boys during the solos. This was a professionally played concert and was magical. The photos are correct as this is what Jim looked like then, a bit overweight and with a beard.

    This was after the Miami Incident. 

  • @MrHoolits I read somewhere that Morrison stopped performing this song live because some of the lyrics were long winded and due to his drinking and smoking it hurt his voice?

  • @shaitan9, That could be true. This was so long ago. I do remember that the Doors had a reputation of being loaded and giving bad concerts but the one I saw was truly magical and they played magnificently.

    The guitar solos by Robbie Krieger were unbelievably beautiful and I was blown away.

    I don't remember if they did this song but they did do Soul Kitchen, The End, Light my Fire and I think they ended the concert with When the Music's Over.

    I was so lucky to see them in such a small Theater.

  • @MrHoolits I used to work for a guy who went to a couple of Doors shows in Los Angeles. I asked him (I was born the year Morrison died) if Morrison was wasted at any of the shows he went to and must have been pretty cool looking back and he told me "No. It wasn't cool. It was a waste of money seeing some fool wasted on stage talking incoherently". I have to admit it I kinda agreed but it was the late 60s-70s and I bet a lot of bands were wasted on stage and Jim was scapegoated.

  • @shaitan9 true, but hindsight is 20/20 and I bet we'd all agree to go to a show and watch Jim mumbling incoherently...but then again I'd be curious if your friend was one of those guys who would yell, "Light My Fire" when the band was trying to start the song Build Me a Woman.

  • @GrizzlTooth I wouldn't consider him a friend, just guy I worked for and you're probably right though, him and his wife were assholes. After I left the last comment I remembered he told me he didn't remember half of the shows he went to, so in my mind, it was him who wasted his money. Coherent or not, I would just love to see the Doors period with Jim at the helm.

  • @shaitan9 it's all good brother...it's a fact that the doors were under appreciated in there time. I think someone once said that "fashion is what seems beautiful now but looks ugly later; art can be ugly at first but it becomes beautiful later.”

  • @GrizzlTooth damed straight brother

  • Any live concert footage of this song?

  • Jim was trying to bring Rimbaud, Blake, Baudelaire, Artaud, Ginsberg and Kerouac to the masses and the masses didn't understand him because they weren't as literate as he was :) :) :) Love Ya Jim...I understand You ! ! !

  • jim morrison was just too uniquie simply the best

  • @teg598 The only drug Morrison was addicted to was alcohol... your statement of "overdosed drug addict" is blatantly idiotic. Please shut up and delete your comment - you stupid fucking fool.

  • @alec12 obviously you dont know what you're talking about so you shut the fuck up It was a lot more than just alcohol. Heroine, cocaine and beer! What a choice haaaaaaabah

  • Comment removed

  • @lookout3211 no, alcohol was the only drug morrison was addicted to. Look up tony funches and how he stopped Morrison from using harder drugs whilst Jim was with the Doors... harder drugs scared him.... Sure he tried cocaine, mescaline and heroin but he was never at any point addicted to them... read a book

  • Wow, never knew they played this live, I know its definitely not great, it was the second to last show he ever played with The Doors. Thanks for sharing!

  • mr mojo risin, we know who that is

  • you cant find a loser critic who could sing cops in cars like jim, they have no balls to sing it even close to jim

  • ask manzarek what jim meant to the band. I'm a singer, try singing on stage, its very demanding,just hearing morrison is one in infinity and HE knew what to do regardless

  • That was brutal.

  • @teg598 ah, yes. true. thank you. He was very good at that as well.

  • yeah jim you were great. r.i.p lizard king

  • Great Recording! A true classic...

  • where is the video? some stills? waste of space, ass wipe.

  • Although his records sound alot better,when he played live,man,he could go on and on and on.Timeless

  • The last true doors concert in my hometown.....damn !

  • when i am dead then rock is dead....is everybody in?

  • ££££ ^^0)=)

  • Jim Morrison is the beginning of the FRONT MAN. There was no other before him and there is no other after him. He is the God of the FRONT MAN.

  • grandissimi doors ciao jimbo ti aspettiamo con amore

  • Anybody know if there is a recording of Riders on the Storm done live in Dallas? I know they only performed it once live and it was one of the two shows in Dallas. If so please let me know. I would enjoy hearing that. Anyway these are great posts. Love listening to these later shows in their career.

  • 3$ for a Doors concert

    I'd give my soul

  • @nino555 Your soul is only worth 3$? Just kidding.

  • What is that weird sound at 1:34

  • @Lasse14991 Feedback

  • by idolizing jim, you give away your authentisity. Jim would despair at the thought, 40 years after his death. his cause of death was simple dispair

  • @feztizieo Drugs has a PRICE

  • I DONT THINK THE DOORS EVER PLAYED THIS SONG LIVE! DONT KNOW BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG. AS JIM WENT ABROAD AFTER THEY FINNISHED THE LA WOMAN ALBUM AND THEY NEVER TOURED AGAIN

  • @emmett931 the Doors played 2 shows while workin on LA Woman, this one and the next night in New Orleans. This show was good, the next he "died" onstage. Thats when they decided not to tour anymore

  • @emmett931 The Doors played 2 shows while working out LA Woman, this one 12/11/70 in Dallas which was OK and the next night in New Orleans where the mojo finally ran out. Thats when they decided not to tour anymore

  • @youngmoneyprincess11 i stand corrected then, thanks for the info, and i thought i was their number 1 fan lol, you surley know your music! and what a great album to go out on!!

  • This is SOOOO NOT LIVE... WTF..

  • Comment removed

  • @AmethystMario  DUMBASS He Passed in 1971

  • @AmethystMario HE PASSED IN 1971

  • @carlfrancisbowles1 Oops typo

  • @carlfrancisbowles1 Then again maybe he didn't............

  • Jim was a genious dealing with assholes.They where the ones that dragged him down with their assholic attitudes.Destruction by his surroundings!!! He was way above their level of understanding,but the Trolls thought he was levelling with them.They dragged him down!!!I'm talking bout those uptight,moral nights from New Haven and many others;---)

  • we were smokin pot back in the day an when a friend showed us the connection between jim morrison an mr. mojo risin we were just blown away....this was back in the 70's when pot was pot..not this crap they got now adays...

  • @censored08 lol wat

    it's statistically proven cannabis has only gotten better and better

    come out from underneath that rock a little

  • @censored08 its just better now. WTF? You mean you guys did have a lot more LSD, but now its just everything. Even the Big H.

  • Jim Morrison... Mr Mojo Risin... write jim morrison on top an mr. mojo risin below it an connect the letters with each letter of its own an watch the letters match each other, you will have no letters left over...

  • I saw the April 1971 first of 2 Doors shows at Boston Arena which became the CD of that show today---I was 16, and will never forget the wall of sound they produced! Jim was insane onstage

  • Drives me crazy that there isn't any corresponding footage of this concert.

  • The Doors are the one concert I never saw that I wish , every time I here any doors cut, that I had seen them.... Must have been brilliant live!!!!!

  • One night partying with jim Morrison doesnt have a price dude....

  • lol 3.5$ a ticket

  • holy crap this thing builds like a volcano...soooo good

  • If this is December 1970, what a short time Morrison was in Paris for before he died. They must have recorded the album not long after this.

  • idk why its not like i knew him i wasnt even alive while he was but i fuckin miss him its pathetic

  • @jyac328 - Strange, isn't it? I was alive, only 9 when he died but I miss him too. Not miss his music, but miss him as if I knew him. You are the first person I've ever heard express what it is I feel. I don't know that pathetic is the right word. Odd would be a better one. Have a good one......

  • I think I was at this concert. Was this the one that Moving Sidewalk opened?

  • This is before LA Woman.. so all the songs from this concert were basically experimentation of new material. It's nice to hear!

  • @slipdrum80 True, many of the lyrics in the songs they played that night: in LA Woman, The Changeling, Riders on the Storm differentiated lyrically from the LP release a few months later. The Doors played in Dallas and New Orleans that fall of 1970. The complete concert is pretty good and worth seeking out.

  • PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST !

    COME ON DALLAS TEXAS.....

    Some One gotta have a Video of this Concert ..

    Since all Law was on Him or

    Should I say all eyes were on him by that time....

    ANYBODY ........

  • @STREETSURVIVOR65 ~ OAK CLIFF ,  HOW ARE YA

  • duh....here it is..... L.A. woman...so YES, they did play it live with jim. this is jim morrison, no f#cking doubt whatsoever. the only other singer in 1970 would be ray,

    but this is jim. jim. jim. jim.

  • I'd kill for hear Riders On The Storm live with Jim, where the hell is that song??

  • la voix de jim est eteinte!!!ce fut l avant dernier concert; on le sent fatigue !!c est tres triste

  • Where is the uncut/unedited footage with synched audio of Doors playing live!!? Damn

  • @HETORU2 buenos comentarios te apollo

  • El tacuche parese de Guatemaya. Sie Morrison estrano senor, muy espia de su auto-analisis.

  • One night partying with Jim Morrison > $1,000,000

  • @fybe88 it would probably end up something like that movie the hangover lol

  • @fybe88 $100,000,000

  • @HardDaysNight44 that would have been a hot deal ;)

  • @fybe88 don't have price, for others shit exist mastercard (?

  • @fybe88

    Cheapskate!

  • @fybe88 wish that cat was still around today.... you can only imagine the times that would have been had.................

  • @fybe88 you couldn't keep up.

  • @Daveparts HE couldn't keep up either.

  • ENORME!!! Morrison est un dieu!!!

  • nobody is better than Jim Morrison and nobody will ever be better than Jim Morrison

  • @Lornmac8 Was he the best person in the world at everything? Was he a great skier, swimmer, runner, guitar player, keyboardist, drummer, sax player, driver, speller, doctor, surgeon? Nobody will be the best at any of these things other than Morrison? Wow! He was amazing.

  • @Lornmac8 Better in what?

  • goddamn, vevo, and his whore-ishness.

    oh, about this?

    iz good, mang!

  • Go Bro !!!!! Your the greatest ever !!!!!!!!!

  • I've read a lot of the comments posted about this, and there seems to be a whole lot of ignorant Doors fans out there. Yes, this is Jim singing, and this was the one and only time they performed this song live. Technically this was their very last concert as well, because Jim passed out cold at the beginning of the New Orleans show that followed, and it was called off. If you doubt what I'm saying, read the book "No One Here Gets Out Alive."

  • This track is included on the Doors "Boot Yer Butt" CD released in 2004, the production of which had been personally supervised by the remaining Doors. The liner notes state that this concert in Dallas and the following concert in New Orleans are the last Doors concerts to feature Morrison on vocals.

    If nothing else, the ear-piercing screams on this track should convince people that this is Morrison - no one could scream like him.

  • In My Opinion ( Some Might Disagree and that's their opinion ) this is the best Doors Song. Absolute genious. Such a talented band! They'll live forever!! Jim, you were taken from us too soon!!!

  • I'm pretty sure they never played LA Woman live with Jim. Manzarek said numerous times that right after they recorded the album in studio Jim left and while he was away they went into planning on touring with him as Jim was ready to come back and wanting to sing " LA Woman " & " Riders On The Storm " live, along with others. But. Never happened.

  • @TheJunksVEVO - Wrong, this is Jim signing and it is live. They had a whole tour planned to promote LA Woman. The Dallas show turned out to be the last full doors show ever as Jim passed out on stage in New Orleans the next night. After New Orl, Ray, robbie,and john decided Jim had enough and didn't want to go on. The remainder of the tour was canceled. But this recording is Authentic Live in Dalles Dec 1970(Last Jim Morrison performance in his Life assuming you don't count New Orleans).

  • @2628ches Oh, well cool ! thanks for letting me know :)

  • dam dude that sucks and im a doors fan and thats my fav doors tune wtf

  • Jimbo was not at the top of his form that night. He'd be nothing at this concert without Krieger, Densmore and Manzarek. Even with them, the audience probably got overcharged that night. Of course I'm not knocking him -- when he was in form the four of them playing as a unit were unforgettable.

  • tengo versiones que no cualquier pendejo ha escuchado, pero esta no la tengo,lo que fuera por este audio,contactame

  • Is it Jim? I read in countless books that they never played LA women live... anywhere.. def sounds like him and iv been a doors fan for 20 years...

  • that's Jim, period. A slightly drunk Jim, but Jim nonetheless.

  • @CrimsonKing73 Well put!

  • notice that robbie plays a little "Away In India" during this song...

    .they REALLY loved that song, played it all thru 1970 ........and i have to admit, it goes good with ANY jam.

  • I'm rolling a joint right now for you Jim, RIP brother, LA loves you!

  • the doors will always rock! r.i.p the lizard king

  • I think I have the Dallas show on a bootleg cassette....gotta go look.....

  • yes this is a legit recording...I think it's the only live version of LA Woman that exists on tape.manzarek doesn't talk much about this Dallas gig cos I think he thinks it was not a very good performance...I have heard other tunes from this show as well....

  • @maynardmoleman

    it was one of 2 times they played the song live, the other one, i think the last concert overall, wasn't recorded.

  • Is this really a legit DOORS live performance? I ask because I just watched a video with Manzarek discussing Morrison's death and he said that Morrison told Densmore less than a month before his death that he couldn't wait to finally play the songs from LA Woman live. In that video Manzarek made it sound like the whole band really wanted to finally perform these songs live giving the impression they had never done so. How do they not remember playing this live if this is indeed the real band?

  • they never did an L.A Woman tour, but they played some songs off the album...thats what they meant!!!! theres a difference....

  • should,jim,also,wears,black,so­cks,black,underwear,1voordeel,­je,plaatst,niets,i,can,tell,i,­want,velswyk,woman,

  • jim isnt dead

  • tickets 3,50 old times. i would pay 3500 to see them with morrison today.

  • ALONE...ALONE..ALONE....SSSOOO­OOO AAALLLOOONNNEE!!!

  • According to "No one here gets out alive" This song and others from the namesake album were never done live. Goes to show what a load of crap that book was. Maybe just not done enough cause although a rare clip, it shows how much the song lacked without a second guitar track and Jerry Scheff's bass.

  • @Snailbarf even ray, john and robbie dont acknowledge that they ever played anything off L.A Woman live

  • @BonScottForever1 they never did i went to c them as the doors of the 21century in birmingham .ray said they never did get to do a la woman tour iv got the dvd what a night ashbury pulled it off good style

  • @TheMojo27 I know, jim morrison called john about a week before he died, and he said he was looking forward to finally playing those songs from the album live for people

  • @BonScottForever1 It was notable for the inclusion of the only known performances of songs from L.A. Woman including the title track and "The Changeling" from The Doors' final recorded show in December 1970, Dallas, Texas. doors last show motherfucker, it was our main man jimbo you douche

  • @xGinseng prove it then cunt

  • @BonScottForever1 look it up anywhere dumbass, that was their last live concert

  • @xGinseng is that why he left as soon as the finished recording the album you fucken idiot

  • @BonScottForever1 The Doors' tour to promote their upcoming album L.A. Woman would comprise only two dates. The first was held in Dallas, Texas on December 11. During the Doors' last public performance with Morrison, at The Warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 12, 1970. please stop responding, you obviously dont know what youre talking about. bands play songs from upcoming albums at shows all the time and this is just that.

  • @TheMojo27 its weird cause they did LA woman the changeling riders on the storm and even on the albums live in detroit boston and some others they did been down so long but i think what you mean is a promotional tour for LA woman never happened i think they did love her madly too and the wasp was texas radio and the big beat just as a poem and i they also did crawling king snake just no hyacinth house or l'america

  • @BonScottForever1 well they clearly are here tho arent they

  • @TheKenney81 doesnt neccessarily mean thats jim singing, ray was known to have sung when jim didnt show up on occasion, whos to say that isnt someone else who soundss like him

  • @BonScottForever1 Well considering none of the guys in the band sound like Jim, I don't think that's likely.

    Why are you saying it's not Jim? Of course it's him. They did play in Dallas on that date, it was their second last show, they played New Orleans the next night or something and that was the last concert that Jim sung for the Doors.

  • @1chamberlain1 and your proof is? come on, give me 100% proof thats Jim Morrison on stage, because when he spoke to John on the phone, he said "I cant wait to finally play these songs live" suck it down bitch, it may be someone who sounds like him

  • @BonScottForever1 Dude read No One Here Gets Out Alive, the writer who was a write for Rolling Stone and knew Jim personally spoke to band members and they recall this show in the book as their 2nd last. The doors never had anyone replace him when he wasn't there except the other members who sound nothing like him. Dumbass, asking me what my proof is. What yours? You're just a distrusting prick because it's audio instead of film and you know why? Because they couldn't film from the audience!

  • @BonScottForever1 of coarse that is jim, why you saying its not. Im telling you its him end of. muppet. BLOCKED

  • @BonScottForever1 ....hey thats not Jim , its Bon Scott ! Whos to say it isnt ? wheres youre evidence ? haha

  • c'mon people! let's get that New Orleans show out there for us! Someone! PLEASE! pretty please with sugar ontop?

    Also, i've seen some photographs og the Warehouse gig......is there a site that has ALL of them together to look at?

  • i love jim he is my idol but la woman sounds like shit wtf man

  • yea wonder if its still big????

  • LEYEND ... jim...

  • Thank You!

    Thank You!

    Thank You!

    Thank You!

  • Paris next year...july 3rd...40 years gone 

  • @midnightnavy2 On July 3rd 2021...50 years gone. I am planning a trip to Paris just to see his grave. Gonna camp out there and smoke a good one just for Jim while listening to Doors albums.

  • @MercuryMorrison1 good to hear my friend, I'll be there next year in the swing of things...

  • @MercuryMorrison1 I will meet you there and have a fatty waiting;]

  • @LunchMoneyDnB You can bet on it!

  • @MercuryMorrison1 hahaha bloody hell, jim would be in heaven laughing at you ya loon ;-]

  • @TheKenney81 Actually I think Jim would smoke and split a bottle of southern comfort with me. Ya loon. :)

  • So down, and all alone.

  • we're all gonna miss you Jim. . .

  • I can live the rest of my life with just their music...

  • wow, you can hear how stoned morrison is xD

  • 8:54 is the best part by far.

  • Godblessed song!

  • lol he was too burnt out from all the other amazing performances in '70

  • This song is so much better live in my opinion.

  • this song was never played live by the doors....

  • @AykinSkywalker This is an authentic recording, one of the last shows they ever played

  • @AykinSkywalker yes it was

  • @AykinSkywalker For sure it was played live. In Dallas (on the 11th I think?) and then it was rumored to have been played at their last show in New Orleans on the 12th (again, I think). Its been a while since I've made the Doors rounds here in the internet, but again, L.A. Woman was played live for sure!

    PS- The New Orleans show (their last) doesn't exist. No recording of it. No circulating show that is.

  • jim looks like a bear with his beard.

    A bear you just want to hug.

    a big bear who just makes you feel safe when he`s with you.
