The Doors 08 When the music's over Absolutely Live

[Hanelore81]

Waouw! one of the best version I heard, great sound.

"Shuuut Up!" Ha ha ha, I'll always miss you Jimbo

[guiemcs]

[TLSFmikelvicious]

[Timwgtn]

July 1970 is Absolutely live so not quite the 60s welcome2the27club...the eve of Glam Rock no less

[arturoejido96]

Cancel my suscribtion to the resurrection ..

[welcome2the27CLUB]

come on even a person who doesnt like the old 60s music must c that these tight rifts from robbie are the shit

[ibdgrinch]

in my opinion the greatest lyric of all time is at 4:29

[Frehely13]

8:31 I'd be pissed too is some girl kept screaming when the man was trying to finish one bass note. I feel ya Jim, If you is reading this up in heaven.

[felipe200794]

I WISH IS WAS BORN IN 1950 SO I COULD LISTEN TO THIS LIVE WHILE IS WAS STILL YOUNG

[morrisonien]

Jim is the greatest singer of all times, he was awesome, dangerous, mysterious, clever,... i wish i could see him singning. fuck i'm born while the greatest artist was already dead

[PathosDistanz]

The masters of dynamics--no other band travelled from soft whisper tones and silences to explosive ecstatic bursts like The Doors. To leap from the suspended pause into the orgasmic detonation with the purest authenticity. The theater of Morrison. Dramatic perfection.

[stargroove4]

@PathosDistanz Well said man, well said.

[edshift]

@PathosDistanz Excellent wordage man. Big props. Go down to venice beach and find your keyboard player.

[nightprwlr63]

othersideplease the one dislike comes from a lost religious soul who cannot cope with reality.

It's all milk and cookies so take it or leve it.

[greenaissance1]

This is epic. Jim's intro scream and vocal emphases with staggering effect, the lyrics of a deep thinking and troubled mind, John's guiding and expressive percussion, Robbie's sublime counterpoint. Even after the interruption Jim's ultimate screams, pitched on the end of John's drum roll, tear at the ether while Ray flails compellingly on organ, only for all to achieve a calm and resolution at the end. One of the true high points achieved in rock, for mine.

[fredbenson1]

Before I sink into the big sleep, I want to hear this song another million times.

[ubbuu]

FUCK! I WONT SLEEP all night listening to this

[68ussanesu]

whoooo i love the doors

[theachtungtree]

Robbie is SO UNDERRATED

[brokenartangel]

@theachtungtree so true Robby is unappreciated. Lets form a Robby Kreiger Appreciation club

[CobeyUYA]

@theachtungtree Densmore is ALSO VERY UNDERATED

[augie1111]

Yup kiaweking, the natives here said it best! They lived with the land and the white man just raped it without giving anything back. So sad.

[kiaweking]

"....what have they done to the Earth?What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her.Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn and tied her with fences and dragged her down. I hear a very gentle sound...."

*

Even today people still pretend they can't hear the sound, and to the peril of humanity. Jim Morrison was the poet of a generation.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Thomas

[fuckthenuns]

Ray Manzarek is G O D in this one!

[ericbombardier]

8:32 "SHUT UP!!!!" Finally, someone can say it louder than the crazy bitch yelling.

[DeanRapest]

So why is this version tuned up a quarter key? It is my favorite live piece, but it doesn't make sense that it's tuned somewhere between E and F.

[amsongonfia]

one of the most amazing intro in rock history. one of the most spectacular live performances in rock history. The doors are still open.

[andria3a]

@amsongonfia

open ?



[amsongonfia]

@andria3a the doors are open , jim morrison, William Blake,Aldous Huxley,You do not know them? ; )

[GereDJ]

Probably my favorite Jim Morrison line of all time: "SHUT UP!" I used to use that snip as a fun drop-in for pushy interview guests when I was a Rock DJ. Very funny.

Gere

[REDSOXNYG]

where was this show and when?

[johnmillercpainc]

Another classic song by The Doors! History will live on!

[MrMadaicseason]

Fucking right, the doors at their best!!!

[withouttail]

HOLY shit 4 fuckin veiws!!!!! this is the best u know fuck turn up the volume!! yeaah!!

[pacnwcomre]

@withouttail Part I This song is a mini social documentary. Morrison's dislike for New York when it was the night clubs (Ondine and the Scene)and the critical reviews that were an outgrowth of those intimate night club gigs which gave the band notoriety in the late fall of 1966.....when the song is first recognized by the audience you can pick up an energy from them in anticipation of what was coming. His opening blood curdling scream matches the one I heard in 1967 when I first saw them.

[andrefreakincreator]

@pacnwcomre , you saw the complete band, together, live?

[pacnwcomre]

@andrefreakincreator  Not once but three times.......Winterland, Fillmore and the Berkeley Community Theatre..the best way to see what they were like on stage was when they premiered on the Ed Sullivan Show.....live in a rock concert format with no seating was best.....the energy they created was amazing............

[andrefreakincreator]

@pacnwcomre , plug your heart and brain USB cable connections into mine and upload all that sound and imagery. You're my hero. :)

Did people thought at the time, "These guys are really great!", or because of being too much inside of the "bubble", people didn't notice so well as nowadays?

[pacnwcomre]

@andrefreakincreator I don't think people knew just how special and unbelievably unique they were.........it is so easy to look backwards now and see who they were and what Morrison's songs lyrics really represented......if you study carefully all six albums (and the 7th, this one), especially if you can place them historically in context, you'll realize that Morrison was shouting at the coming apocalypse that is now at hand. Back then it was just an idea few of us thought about.

[andrefreakincreator]

@pacnwcomre , words of wisdom. Thank you very much for sharing this with the people.

[pacnwcomre]

@andrefreakincreator .........I am glad you liked my brief descriptions of their early ball room concerts. it is interesting to look back to see where we were then and to stand up straight and look around to find where we are now.......there is still a huge and growing interest in what he sang and what he wrote....guess i was pretty rough with Grizzy there....Morrison liked Blake: There is nothing but man in the universe and man is nothing but the highest flights of his imagination..........

[GrizzlTooth]

@pacnwcomre the only apocalypse that Morrison sang about was his own.

[pacnwcomre]

@GrizzlTooth  No, you're wrong. It was much more than that.

[ImpulseKillerx]

@pacnwcomre are you kidding, he wasn't talking about a fucking apocalypse, what are you smoking?

[pacnwcomre]

@ImpulseKillerx ......what am I smoking...how old are you? I ask because when you write something like that it is quite likely you are young and have no clue.

[pacnwcomre]

Respond to this video...Par II When Morrison slams the rude and unruly crowd with "Shut Up" he shows how tired he is to be a rock singer in the growing psychic disintegration he is experiencing. It is near the end for him. The last part of the song is so terribly recorded it is almost enough to not warrant posting a link on Facebook. This was the seventh album the Doors ever made (six by contract + this live version) before of course all of the "best of" albums began to come out.
