the doors-Not To Touch The Earth

[PrisimAlarmCock]

 of course its 4:20 long

[yummy123130]

great song!

[volnei447]

Too bad he killed himself. was a poet lost in the world of rock n roll

[Thecompanioncrate]

@volnei447 Well, If you mean he OD'd in a bathtub, then yes, he killed himself.

[onderscheet]

@volnei447 

[volnei447]

the doors was the best North American band of the time.

[DetroitMr8mile]

4:20 is the April 20th woooooo the day when your allowed to smoke pot at U of M and the cops cant do nothing about it

[chronix2x]

@DetroitMr8mile fuck off blind tool

[jamesnin]

Please, somebody tell me, the date of this concert. I need it. Or the link to the full concert!!!

[edwigederer]

love

[Trowdblak]

come on baby run with me

[UnderGroundSound2012]

JIMBO RUNS....NO ONE RUN LIKE HIM =)))

[Chubzitrollable]

R.I.P Jim, the Lizard King, Jimbo.

How ironic--ends at 4:20. A good sign, if ever I've seen a good sign!

[jamesnin]

@Chubzitrollable can you explain, how that is a good sing?

[chubzitruffle]

@jamesnin Lol, if you don't understand it, then I shouldn't bother explaining it. Not to mention, if you can't spell 'sign' there's no point.

[jamesnin]

@chubzitruffle Maybe I'm a soul looking for enlightenment, maybe I have dislexia or maybe, just maybe, you're a moron. 4:20, the only thing I can think of is the size of your brain. You write just like the kind of prick J. Morrison would like to kick.

[chubzitruffle]

@jamesnin Oh, good one. The fifth grade called, they want their insult back. Umad?

[leahhorror]

Jim Morrison will always be a fuckin' god.

[theclassicrockkid95]

RUN WITH ME! LET'S RUN!

[DiaFAn0s]

not to touch the earth...

best song ever!!

[supertard145]

king god ? RUN RUN RUN

[albuchi]

we run with you, jim

[KristinJean99]

In love with this song! Have been for years!

[risethelightning]

Best doors song, for sure, especially this live take, the ending is fierce

[11GQ]

where was that picture of jim lying on the floor taken?

[Mojorizzin]

Run with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onthemoveagain]

What a shame it is to have to see all these retarded comments about drug use on this page when the comments should be about this incredible song.

This track is one of their best.

[XmarilynmansonchildX]

Mr. Mojo Risin

[risethelightning]

DRUGS expand your mind, they make you totally see things in a different light, a light that your pupils keep on changing

[chrisislocox24]

thanks

[Loustrikesagain]

Haha. I think that drugs don't exactly help you understand things better. You may think you understand things better, of course. My mother had a friend who used to have revelations when he was on LSD, but he couldn't remember them once he it wore off. One time he decided to write down what he was thinking while he was high, and when it wore off, he read it. It said, "The essence of life is turpintine." lol

[cnewman99]

Hahah that made me laugh, but it's pretty true.

[Loustrikesagain]

But my mom says there's nothing wrong with mushrooms or weed... so... lol.

[cnewman99]

Yeah my parents are pretty chill about it too.

[chrisislocox24]

which concert is this from. i wanna download the song. any info would be nice

thanks

[TONKPLIS999]

Complete Song is "Celebration Of The Lizard"

[chrisislocox24]

alright thanks

[clorophilla87]

majbe you dont understand the sense of that song...sense more sound is a magic solution that only the Doors have been able to do...and doesn't seve take acid or another dope for to gaining sense..

[BombsOnTrees]

you dont understand it now,

take acis hear this song it makes so much sense

[andrew18651]

wouldnt a song like this induce a bad trip?

[choperlat]

it depends, if you control acid pretty well, you'll get a "deep and dark" trip, but if it is one of your first tries, you'll probably be scared the whole trrip..

[BombsOnTrees]

but you unserstand it,

the trip is just a cooool sideeffect

[andrew18651]

yea, i always hear that you cant experiance some things fully unless you're on drugs. I don't think that's true, you just experiance it differently. No drug ( and I've sampled all of them) has made me nessisarily think about things tottally different.

[murr5232]

This live version is so much better then the album version 100%

[209116032]

it is, it's so much more fast-paced

[andrew18651]

BURN BURN BURN!!!! >= )

[DarkprinceCs]

Run with meeeeeee, come run with meeeeee

[kimbreballin]

i fucking love this song!

[wakosoto]

bad ass song

[Cold2413]

@kimbreballin Yes, it does!!!

[209116032]

this song is so fucking creepy and brings such strange images. great though

[malgosiamn1]

I love this song. One of the best doors's song.

[PROmug]

I am the Lizard King, I can do anything

[cw200890]

This song makes reference to a passage in the Golden Bough.

[frenchie2191]

Man, the studio version of this is insane, the other i was very baked and I closed my eyes and wow man wow, never felt anything like it before, this song as so much energy and it keeps climbing until the "To the east to meet the Czar". One of the best doors song, great lyrics and just an overall amazing song. Long live the lizard King

[JordinaryDude]

Dude, this & Horse Latitudes fuckin trip major balls.

They knew what they were doin back then =]

[frenchie2191]

Wow to Horse Latitudes lol, they sure as hell knew how to get a crowd in a trance lmao.

[00eleS]

you can see that is Jim singing from the end. it's the way he says ''I am the Lizard King. I can do anything''. respect.-

[psychodamned]

Although Kilmer did a great Jim, this is indisputably Mr Morrison !

[JBlueMast]

Don't be silly....this is Morrison, not Kilmer.

[Aldebaron9]

The Almighty, James Douglas Morrison. It was always Lennon until Morrison took the scene -- over........

( From a purely cultural / arts sense, circa - then, of course.......)

[richo467]

i fucking love this version of the song

not that the album version wasnt gud

i loved that as well

xx

[BrentAnthonyGraves]

its a poem jim wrote part of celebration of the lizard king.

[hellishcrazy]

Val Kilmer must have done an amazing job if everybody thinks this is him. This is definately Morrison from the 'Absolutely Live' album. My favorite version of the song by the way.

[vampin6]

I wonder what made them come up with song? what where they thinking about? this is like one of the best songs I ever heard. Brilliant!!!

[michael3850]

THIS IS JIM!

[jakeobx101]

his voice realy wasnt all that deap, the movie made about him just made it seem that way

[rwebb61]

listen to roadhouse blues and la woman and tell me his voice is not deep

[TORIPAULINA]

wow grovie

[CLOVERFEILD1234]

we shall see the gates by mornign, we shall be inside by evening!

[SmytherJones1]

This is Jim singing \

Trekkie951 u noob

[CLOVERFEILD1234]

yeah man

[zeus201286]

run, run, run whith my

[sayhellotogoodbye]

Doesn't even sound like him. He had a deeper voice

[andrew18651]

lol thats him singing, he sounds diffrent when hes drunk or not drunk, high or not high, or in diffrent combinations

[silenus74]

to below:

No, this is the real Jim

(from "The Doors in Concert")

[trekkie951]

find val kilmer singing this song from the movie listen to that and you will see

[JBlueMast]

I have the movie, and this actual concert recording from The Doors. This isn't Val Kilmer. This was released on a Doors album years and years ago...before Val Kilmer even thought about being Jim for a while.

[JBlueMast]

...and to be honest. I don't think it's Val Kilmer singing in the Doors movie on this track. He does about half of them...but I am not sure he did this on in the movie on his own.

[trekkie951]

wtf this is val kilmer singing from the movie i hope most of us doors fans realized that

[prettyoddchick]

love it live

SUNSUNSUN BURNBURNBURN

[Saroarr]

People need to stop with the Jim's alive bullshit..... it's not funny. The man was a beautiful soul, a god amongst men. he touched so many lives and even in death continues to do so. The least you all can do is accept that he's gone. Leave him be.

[andrew18651]

2:39 to the end is the best

[TheMister987]

[vertox123abc]

[mzaputil]

R.I.P.? whaT MAKES YOU THINK HE IS ACTUALLY DEAD?

[DarkprinceCs]

[DonJoe09]

[sk8er4life36912]

[jaded4ever]

I love the way this song is so chaotic and disorganized.

Brilliance.

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

do you wanna run with me?

[uniteinlight]

I hate this song, it freaks me out but i can't stop listening to it.

[sk8er4life36912]

me too

[andrew18651]

This song is the BEST song in Z WORLD!!!!!!

[bebe1001]

One of my favorite songs!

[shitz37]

not to touch the earth is a chapter from the Golden Bough

[sk8er4life36912]

this may sound stupid,but what is a lizard king

[notsovelvet]

It's not really anything,just a nickname given to Jim Morrison,he hated it from what I read.

[iqfrenzy]

Incorrect. It is a lyric in "Celebration of the Lizard".

[iqfrenzy]

And "not to touch the earth".

[notsovelvet]

Well yeah it's a lyric,I believe thats where the person I was replying to heard it and why he ask the question.....he didn't ask where it was from,he ask what is was,and like I said it was a nickname of Jim's.

[iqfrenzy]

This is what Jim said about the moniker "The Lizard King":

We must not forget that the lizard and the snake are are Identified with the with the unconscious and the forces of evil. There's something deep in the human memory that responds strongly to snakes, even if you've never seen one. I think that the snake just embodies everything we fear.he then said the poem " Celebration of the Lizard King" was "kind of an invitation to dark forces", but the Lizard King image he projected was not.

[iqfrenzy]

It's all done tongue-in-cheek. I don't think people realize that. It's not to taken seriously. It's like if you play the villain in a western, it doesn't mean that that's you.That's just an aspect you keep for show. I don't really take that seriously. That's supposed to be ironic.

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

man, doing acid to this song is epic.

[bandmrecovery]

This is a kiss from reality,consistently unpredictable,relentlessly provocative.This is the true name of the demon Jim.Run bitches I'm firing on you.

[AlessDaze23]

:-D

[kimbrehatesyou]

your retarded.

[HarryPalma]

CHAOS & CREATIVITY at it's PEAK! LONG LIVE MR. MOJO RISIN!!!

[gregolillo]

not a devil, just a dark angel

[andrew18651]

Nah, he wasnt out their at all. He knew exactly what he was doing. This is powerful. Just turn up the volume and really listen. This was made purely to scare people. To evoke a reaction. JUst complete evil lol i love it.

[Darietto1986]

El diablo!

[MrHappyDeath]

is the morrison sing this???????

[gunshot134]

yes, morrison is is singing. this is off their album "absolutely live" in it, jim recites "celebration of the lizard" this is just a small part of it, but probably one of my favorite parts.

[reevolution]

Gotta loove the drugs!!!!!!! He was so out theere when he wrote this stuff, esepecially when he performed lol!

I not saying anything he did was bad; such as the drugs..... They were necesarry for the progression of the music in that era... The beatles, The roling stones, jimmmy hendrix, led zeppelin and so on....

who said DRUGS WERE BAD LOL!!!... If not for their music, we would have what we have today... Today with how music is, it's a direct out growth of then....

[BooTeeFull]

THE LIZARD KING IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!

[andrew18651]

wow is this good

[Luna3492]

"THERE'S BEEN A SLAUGHTER HERE!"

i love it! this song is awesome.

the Doors are awesome!

[Cobendrix]

One of the best intros ever.

One of the best doors songs.

One of the most perfect live performances.

THE best frontman of all time.

[abcdiu]

:S...!

[ajatkinson2004]

Jim could be sinner or a saint, a reverend with a gospel or a lurking bandit, a drink of water on a hot summer day or a spiked drink for a helpless victim. He encompassed many realms of existence into one. His music lives on!

[vperes]

this live version is great!!!!

was really looking for a live one but couldn't find it till now.

thank you!!
