The Doors - Back Door Man

[pennylaneqq]

It's been recorded for so many singers...John Lee Hooker, included

[priorxerox]

2:40 - 2:55, he is totally tripping balls

[redheadredemption90]

@priorxerox jim stopped doing psychedelics at this point. he was hammered.

[Elfkinator]

Manzarek rips up his double Moog set up. The Doors are epic!

[Wonka275]

@Elfkinator Actually it's a Vox Continental organ and Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. He only used a Moog to my knowledge on Spanish Caravan for the wind effect and on Strange Days.

[Elfkinator]

@Wonka275 Thanks for letting me know! 

[Shaun1gza]

I like Willie Dixon version but the Doors took it another dimensional plane. Incredible version. thanks for posting this video

[Aztechyian]

never noticed just how cool that little finishing flourish at the end is by John Densmore - man the doors knew how to construct a tune. Each band member was a piece of genius. Combined they are phenomenol.

[WhenYourStrange93]

young man eat your dinner eat your fuckin beans.

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

@WhenYourStrange93 pork and beans*

[WhenYourStrange93]

@GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep lol i know. it hella sounds like he says that tho

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

@WhenYourStrange93 True, plus it would be badass

[sasuke4490]

I wish and wish that I was born in his time but at least I have these videos to watch

[steurun]

I NWANT TO DRINK MY FRAKIN COFFEE BUT I CAN'T STOP SINGING TO THIS HELP MEEE HELP MEEEEE

[toughserb145]

unfortantly i was born in 1998, the 9 was asposto be a '48 instead, but God wants what he wants.

[hegemoniuspiper]

what a great set of musicians

nowadays people hardly know how to produce such music with such basic instruments

[buster1969bell]

20 (12) A-holes.

[ChiroQuacker]

alot of chicks like it in the ass..most do...

[rsn2755]

@ChiroQuacker This song has absolutely nothing to do with that.

A "Back Door Man" is a guy who has relations with a woman while her husband has been out slaving away to provide for her. The usual guilty perpetrator if a wife was caught cheating was a regular tradesman caller (Ice Man, Insurance Salesman etc.). He would then run out the back door as the husband entered the front door.

[orlandoskatevideos]

@superskater54321

his living the real life man!

[b4kre8ion]

12 people have been eating pork and beans cause I eat more chicken than any man ever seen, BackDoorMan!!!

[28448272]

Yeeeeessss

[ameekat]

Happy Birthday Beautiful <3

[GetCronk1989]

HAPPY BDAY JIM

[divisorplot]

epiphany king of beans twelfth nite azote azygous azymous azinuth azonal azonic *8 BACK DOOR MAN! ePIPHANY SEE WIKIA! epiphany the singularity! two the first prime number! Rieman's Zero landscape wow great lyrics!

[rattattat100]

This song has a blues mood to it.

[jspecs13]

@rattattat100

that's because it's a blues song...

[steurun]

@rattattat100 Yeah it kind of IS blues... I think

[RazoSG]

@steurun This is blues, I jam out to this song with my band. Easy blues, in the key of A :D

[deadgremblinphish]

Imagine if Manzarek played the accordion?! Yowzaa!

[mcnimi]

Robby is the man! he's so talented!!!

[doorsofperception187]

I feel that Jim had to die so young because if he was alive any longer the rest of the world wouldn't be capable of handling his pure genius anymore...

[champlaurent1]

2:36 the scream of belzebuth !

[jenica2072]

Even when Jim was obviously fucked up he could still sing his ass off, most of the time.

The rest of the band had to put up with getting him to a certain spot and time and they played brilliantly.

[MennoGuitar]

Nice beard :D

[drg1888]

DAT BEARD

[scamp3464]

This is from the 1969 TV show on WNET & they're in excellent form. There's good versions of Wishful Sinful & The Soft Parade from the same show.They were able to get quite a full sound w/ only 3 instruments & were quite a unique sounding group. NO ONE sounded like the Doors. I think this was recorded right after the infamous Miami concert where Morrison allegedley exposed himself.

[mrstevehartman]

You can eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans, I eat more CHICKEN any man ever seen... Jims higher than the space shuttle, but... I bet he did eat a lot of chicken. If you dont get it, to bad !!

[swimmerB0B]

..and let's all thank the folks at youtube while we're at it.

[swimmerB0B]

why, did you cut him off the night before??

[Arcezzu85]

I'm sure he's 100% sober here.

[mrstevehartman]

@Arcezzu85 You mean only 80% screwed up ? For Jim, that was sober !!

[rolesvill]

@Arcezzu85 yeah im postive hes sober

[tbakersapphire]

yeah bringin back tho ole VOX Continental!!!

[ImFromTheShelter]

This might be one of the best versions of this song that I've heard...So chill and puts you in a trance almost. Really unique.

[MasterIndica420]

11 people aren't back door man's

[m4tthi4z]

Everyone is always talking about Jim, and his music. Please don't forget the rest of the band, they're all geniuses...This is also a Willie Dixon song....

[aledobretociastko]

@m4tthi4z I hate how people are abusing word "genius". OK, Morrison definitely was some kind of a genius, Manzarek is really creative and skillful musician... and that's it.

[jimmydane34]

@aledobretociastko

you agreeing to the notion he was some kind of genius while at the same time just emphasizing or shurgging to the fact when you said "and thats it " is kind of odd......like me saying einstien was a genius....big deal.....

[PepperWhite62]

@m4tthi4z Don't forget Ray. He's a money grubbing cock biter that would kill his mother and screw his father for that almighty dollar.

[awoosoul]

@PepperWhite62 No need to be nasty, we all got to make a livin'

[nachitocarp14]

@m4tthi4z Manzarek, Krieger, Densmore are stars, Jim is the sun.

[henkah]

@m4tthi4z

That's right.I agree. Though, The vocalist is always up front and therefor gets the most attention

Jim is the Poet of the group. A charismatic man, he's outrageous, a rebel. Jim is more then the singer of a group.

Same goes for Jimi's EXP , Janis's Big Brother, Kozmic Bluesband and Full Titlt boogie band. They where somethinh', you know.

[CultOfPersonality90]

i think justin bieber will be the new jim 

[clawlesslawless]

@CultOfPersonality90 Bieber is already better.Sure doesnt he have more hits on youtube?

[quieropoder]

Nice to Hear music that comes from Talent alone not all the crap stupid kids are being exposed to. Jim's music is unique and until now there has been none that can replace him.

[MATTisAkoala]

Robbie always looks like such a badass.

[albertalex92]

yyyyyeeaaaahhhhh i am the man who fuckkkss your wife and leaves out the backdoor..man . :)

[taariqtaariq]

what if Jimbo did fake his own death just to get out of being a rock star and be 'free'?

[nicolas77764]

grande jim morrison nunca moriras siempre viviras en el recuerdo de las personas y en tus letras!!!!!!!!!!

[geoffdoor]

did jim morrison ever get bummed

[TheBobmarleysfan]

what a fucking sexual energy!!!!!

[gabriel1998rb]

Hey man, uploud again "The Soft Parade" please!!

[MsMIRmira]

Autsch!

[freyrkin]

2:35 most evil laugh ever!



[MrNomad54321]

My uncle who sadly passed in 2008 worked for the french sondage d'action that dealt with the paper work regarding people who wanted to change their names maintained that he dealt with a James Douglas Morrison in August 1972 one month after he started his employment.he indicated that he never met the guy but had seen an original birth certificate and a recent photograph of a shaven headed plumpish man who was 29 at the time.

He maintained till his death it was Jim morrison of The Doors...

[josePeters]

will ferrell is a good singer...

[operationFUNify]

JIM DIED IN A BATHTUB BEFORE THAT HE CALLED TO PAM..

[low72]

My opinion is that's false. Jim staged his death to get away from it all. I believe Jimi & Janis were murdered, not Jim. If someone was a step ahead of Jim, Jim was 10 steps ahead of them. Afterall, he is the Lizard King, and he can do anything.

[emcaraccioli]

JIM MORRISON was MURDERED. No one ever viewed the body. Pamela Courson was the only one with him in PARIS. Jim is a BACKDOOR MAN, because he is telling you he is RIMBAUD, he disappears from REALITY, to live an unreal life, which is more real to him, than the celebrity of his personal success, because he can't deal with the pressure, and then reappears on his DEAth BED, because he is a BACKDOOR MAN...it is not about sex, although it could be in some ways ANIMALISTIC,

[ImSnazziest]

0.44 Somebody is falling asleep haha!

[AnnaValerious45]

11 reasons to use condoms :\

[ImSnazziest]

Lol George Harrison on drums.

[vxxj4v1xxv]

1:04 ray is too badass

[SuperSkater54321]

sucks that Jimmy is dead :(

[xxRORYKxxable]

@SuperSkater54321 ummm hes not dead

[SuperSkater54321]

@xxRORYKxxable what ? he died in France because an drug overdose



[xxRORYKxxable]

@xxRORYKxxable hes still alive in our minds and hearts

[arcz10]

my favourite doors track

[Chippy215Boss]

i eat more chicken any man ever seen yea yea

[MeanObiwan]

Alot of people talk about what the song means, about the men sneking in through the backdoor to be with a farmers wife. But if you look a little more into Jims preferances with a woman, I think he was singing about something else. ;)

[Sally8784]

@MeanObiwan it is, hehe!

[Kapindur]

Like John Densmore said: "When Jim came out with that "I eat more chicken than any man ever said" stuff, we were surprised but just took in stride. You never knew what he was going to do. Looking back, I believe him."

And so do I.

[Kapindur]

Like John Densmore said: "When Jim came out with that "I eat more chicken than any man ever said" stuff, we were surprised but just took in stride. You never knew what he was going to do. Looking back, I believe him."

[raremountainbear]

@Kapindur Jim didn't write those lyrics, Willie Dixon did.

[m4tthi4z]

The best!

[tiponin23]

Robbie finger pickin" Blues! Morrison was a frat brat that fancied himself as an artist. Morrison had his his moments but they were few and far between.Wake up Jim....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[low72]

You can eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans, I eat more chicken then any man every seen yeeeah yeeeah....fucking favorite line

[TheWildswan69]

@low72 but he really meant something else. dare ya to guess.....

[low72]

@TheWildswan69 he eats more pussy in a week then the husbands of the wive's he's fucking eats in their whole life time / husbands get it once a week, jimmy gets it everyday. .. that...or that the wive's cook jimmy the good food before their husbands get home...and the husbands get the pork & beans LOL

[TheWildswan69]

@low72 may Eleanor Rigby get her face in the jar by the door go out into the world & expose you for the sorry critter you are.

[mrsurferbra]

That's the most bad ass laugh i've ever heard! You rock Jim

[TheWildswan69]

@mrsurferbra  yes. true. but he passed on. very early. excessive living. RIP JIM MORRISON. thats how the devil works. he wants you to think you can just go hog wild. no boundaries or limits, and in many ways, thats true. but there are limits to some things, if you want to live a long life here on this earth.

[veskoapoet]

Classic!!!

[monsterwladi]

YOU UNDERSTAND DON'T YA BABY?

love that line

[julahhh]

I eat more chiken any man ever seennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[TheWildswan69]

@julahhh I prefer fish. I like mine grilled, with a side of tartar or remoulade. but, alas, cant afford it now. but if I dont see any more of Nic Cages movies ever again, if I ever have any money again, I will go to the Fish Place or Landry's. I have a really tasty oyster too,

[Sekler007]

backdoor men do it backdoor, very hardly!!!xD

[daniel93511]

Back Door Man = Ricardão (in Portugues)

[kylem420]

when it comes to lead vocals jim morriison IS BOSS

[normalflanger]

I just don't understand that people can dislike this....

the man don't know?

[noobpowner901]

where was this concert?

[boilerup74]

@noobpowner901 on PBS

[tecumseh22]

Yeah this was kinda their rough period.

[RussianThickness1]

am i the only one who thinks that theyre guitarist looks like the bassist from the flaming lips? but with hair.

[seattlehawkins]

Jim looks like he's 46! LMAO! He's 26 here!  and has less than 2 years to live! SAD!

[buzzedwithroy]

7 people found out their wife was with a back door man

[hyyer7]

@buzzedwithroy 8 elderly men´s wifes got fuck by Jim

[CRyt1KaL]

@buzzedwithroy

make that 9 :p

[buster1969bell]

Now I know there are seven more idiots in the World than I thought there was.

[yonataptk]

morrison! eres el amo!

[the94lude]

3:05 Jimmy wakes up from his trip and realizes where he is haha

[Senseless00]

@the94lude gives me the chills :D

[WhenYourStrange93]

@the94lude hahahah right on

[ilovefresita]

man this song n this weed is takin me on a trip, just need sum LSD to complete the trip into my subconscious n beyond... :O

[illwind2011]

was spricht dagegen

[TheGoodCasino]

this was not a concert this was at a pbs studio (critique) 1st there was a 10 min interview about his trial then they performed.

[bapes100]

ahhhhh ahh ahhhhhh ah...... suck dick haha 2:53

[MsHotchica123]

Jim was messed up here lol

[sundance4400]

he could have been my backdoor man anytime haha

[whathefa]

 amazing video but audio so low. try and re-do with better volume please.

[MultiVince11]

the original Back Door Man written by Howlin Wolf

but I think Doors version is better

[bloveableful]

@MultiVince11 willie dixon 

[MaghoxFr]

Manzarek left hand is hypnotically dangerous

[gabriel1998rb]

this song is good, but you guys have to listen to rock Brazil.The very good, listen Cazuza, Legião Urbana and RPM!

[Darksideofsgtpeppers]

And im obviously not talking about the gay community, I'm talkin about the straight community. If you like giving anal and your straight I really question your masculinity. If you'd do it to a girl, you might as well be doing it to a guy.

[Darksideofsgtpeppers]

Fist off, anal sex is repulsive and if you do it, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, 2nd, this song is about someone who is having an affair with another mans girl. People like you make me sick!

[zzcoolfun]

this song reminds me of gay porn

[phatcracker2007]

@zzcoolfun That makes sense, considering you how much you identify with gay porn.

[zzcoolfun]

@phatcracker2007 you mad bro?

[RisquLynx]

I think the idea of Santa Claus originated from Jim Morrison's beard.

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

Man, this is good!

[BarekHalfhand]

The was from the PBS session if I'm nor mistaken ...

[QueenOfTheHighway11]

This is a standard blues song. Doors didn't even write it. A 'backdoor man' is code for the guy who's servicing your wife behind your back (slips through the back door and delivers the bone while your clueless ass gets stuck paying the rent). Apparently, your mind is so wrapped up in homosexual fantasies that you missed the point.

ritter89

BOUT TIIME SOME ONE POINTED THAT OUT!

[anax150]

@paulo151 If Jim is gay, then I am Caesar!

[Ipluckithard]

Robbie's little head nod at 3:32 is just one of the many highlight moments of this performance. The blues is like a mountain or ocean our hearts. Musicians don't question its significance; they get in touch with it, and then attempt to just breath it all in.

[Guitarlove420]

i really like the extention after the guitar solo with jims vocal wriffing

[ENTREELCENTENO]

im gladd that many videos by the doors are having more than a million views that tell somethig to people in the disc compani? MAKE GOOD MUSIC

[crucifytheclown]

i've caught myself singing this while performing anal sex

[ltsandes]

@crucifytheclown must have been a really great, entertaining sexperience!

[JackDanielsLoverr]

@crucifytheclown homo..

[KMHRocker]

@crucifytheclown Fuck haters dude, thats Awesome!!! What did she say when you did it though. ROFL!!! I can picture it now... "What the fuck? Are you SINGING?!?!....." LOL

[blisterpacman]

[tnatburks]

[bbbipolarrr]

jim

[dayen0541]

keren........

[katieren1231]

I really think all of the bloated Jim Morrison photos/videos should not be shown. I don't like seeing him like that. It's sacrilege.

[phatcracker2007]

@katieren1231 It's a sign of the alcoholism taking its toll bro'.

[vomit49894]

Great song.  Great band!

[SpiritofNes]

he looks so tired...

[beatlesman369]

[srekazinskas]

[jezus92191]

[bigadkins1969]
