"Riders on the Storm" isn't a song. It's an experience.
Everytime...
Amen to that. Heard it for the first time 40 years ago will never get old.
Amen.
Timothy Leary loved it. I think I did. The times are kind of hazy. ;-)
A friend spent lots of money on a quadraphonic system when they came out and the LA Women album was one he had that we played over and over again it sounded so good. This song specifically I would watch other’s expressions as the heard this on that system for the first time. It was special.
Say what you will about Boomers, but our music is unmatched.
Every generation has it's own class they can't be matched in. Me I grew up listening to music from 1920s all the way up to the 60s till I was 13. Then went on to 70s-2000s
I agree so many great bands wish I could go back though time and relive that era.
Now you can see why my generation was and is forever in love with our music.
Amen to that! 🎯
*Spot on. Amen brother.*
Could not agree more
My dad turned me on to The Doors when I was so young I didn’t really know what music was yet. The Doors are part of the soundtrack of my childhood.
I am 72 and it gives me complete joy to see young people like yourself experiencing our music. It is so precious and truly a beautiful thing and no matter what our age is, our politics, our views, or whatever we can at least be united with music. Imagine if the world listened to more music and less of everything else how much better off we could all be. Thank you for this! You are a fine young man!😊❤️😊
We were a very lucky generation to grow up with so much musical talent!!!
You were. The flipside is if you're open and prepared to go searching every successive generation has everything that went before to experience and draw from. Admittedly there's not much new music today that I would even put in the same ballpark let alone on the same level as pretty much anything by The Doors. But once in a while somebody puts out something that might just stand the test of time.... I think it gets harder for artists to do so... so much has been done before. So much is intentionally or unintentionally derivative. But we are endlessly creative...
@@Matt_S104 the difference is something about the music business ... what gets promoted and to whom.
It's no accident. Read the book Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon.
The thing about The Doors, is, there is a one singer, one guy on keys, a drummer, and one guy on guitar. They sound so much bigger than they are. Its amazing what they did with so little, True artists.
Truly incredible!
They had actual bass players for the studio recordings and such.
And a great sound engineer 👍
This song actually has a fifth musician playing bass guitar
@@gotham23us
I think it was the guy from oasis’s dad
I’ll finish your sentence, “I could listen to this forever”. Nods in agreement from the viewers who have been listening to this song for 50 years.
I'm nodding my head, in agreement.
Saw them in person. Great!
Yess
Been listening to them over 40 years and their music is just as great today as when I first heard them. Great to see this fine man appreciate The Doors- keep it alive my man 😎👌
@@ellbanks425 And it didn't cost $1,000 per ticket, lol.
You may not realize that Ray Manzarak was playing the base line on the old style organ keyboard while playing the high end simultaneously, even live in concert, he was incredibly talented!
The studio version actually had Jerry Scheff (Elvis' old bassist) on bass, but Ray would do it live on his keyboard.
And Ray played the keys and produced the first album by X, Los Angeles. And in great style.
Check out the instrumental by Luna Lee.
Ray Manzarak really is the the sound of the Doors
I'm 70 and that was when they made great music - real music.
yep, sure did!
69 years young. The best memories 💓
They still make real and great music nowadays. It's different, though. My dad is just a bit younger than you, and he loves the music he grew up on, as well as some of the music we made him discover. One doesn't exclude the other.
Good comment
they still do.... you just aren't looking hard enough. They don't play it on the radio anymore.
The 60s when music was art
I have synesthesia. This song is the deepest purple, Jim's voice is chocolate brown with a velvet texture, the bass is a splash of orange throughout, the upper piano notes are raindrops of silver. I've loved this song my whole life. It's such a multi-sensory experience.
Thanks for this! I have always wondered what people with synesthesia ‘see’ with special songs…
You should paint this wonderful image! I always see the Carmel shoreline at night illuminated by phosphorescent green sea creatures. The thunder sounds to me are crashing waves.
huh.. I wonder what colors you get if you listen to "The Figurehead" by The Cure?
That is SO COOL! I always wished I had it.
I can see that...
Jim Morrison was 27 when died..and he still makes an impact with his music. Can you imagine if he had not passed away! RiP Jim Morrison you will never be forgotten.
As much as I love Jim, I think he was destined to leave this plane of existence when he did. We will never see his like again.
Unfortunately all of "The 27 Club", which began in the 30s with Delta Blues legend, Robert Johnson, is the same. Janis, Hendrix, Morrison, Brian Jones, Alan Wilson( Canned Heat), Kurt Cobain, to name very few...all were extremely talented and very troubled, self destructive souls. Unstable flames that went super nova to out. They all made their huge marks on Rock n roll roots, and none of us can ever quit them. What they gave was a small sample of greatness that is so precious that no one dares ever let them go.
He died, Janis Joplin and Jimmie Hendrix all died within a year of each other. Such a disaster.
@@karleneblaser1261 You forgot Amy Winehouse.
@@221BBakerStreetShe was much later, but again what a damn loss
Jim Morrison's haunting voice, especially on this song, was The Door's signature sound. He was unmistakable. He, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix--all dying at 27 within a year or so of each other--were the biggest names in 60s rock. We haven't seen their like since.
Came out in 1971, my son was 9 years old. He's now 61 and after 24 years in the military, a successful executive. I, your humble servant, am 84 hoping to make it to 85., Love those Doors. Thanks Polo - love you and your channel.
My name is Michael as well, and I am 70, we both lived it ---GOOD ON YOU !!!!
Ditto...thank you to your son for his service
It was released in June 1971, the last song Jim Morrison recorded. He was found dead in a Paris apartment a month later.
I was 10 when this came out and I remember being terrified the first time I heard it. My all time favorite Doors song! I just found out that he achieved that haunting vocal by overdubbing himself singing the song in a whisper.
Shoulda heard it stoned on acid......😮
This is as good now as it was 50 years ago and will be that good 50 years from now.
We baby boomers remain unimpressed with more "modern" music. See why?
Exactly 💯
I can’t stand it.
You baby boomers also fucked this Country up now us Generation Xers have to fix it.
Trump 2024!
You won't find young talent on the radio.
Amen!!!
No bass in any doors tunes except for “piece frog” key board master Ray Manzeric is doing all the bass with his left hand while soloing out like a mad man. Truly legendary artists
Not entirely true. Especially on the studio version of this song.
It is true that the bass lines are all originally laid down by Ray on a hammond organ, ad in concert there was usually no bassist. However, session bassists were brought in to overdub the same lines, to give them added "punch" on the album. I believe that the late great Jerry Scheff was the guy who did the overdub on "Riders on the Storm"
@@k-matsuIt was Scheff and he's still with us last I knew.
That’s Peace Frog ‘my alarm’ on my iphone
Ray Manzarek made Jim and the Doors.. He was like Don Rich was to Buck Owens, without either there would be mediocracy...It takes two to tango and they tangoed!!!
No bass? Don't agree.
Riders On The Storm is a song you listen to in the dark, with the headphones, and with eye closed, as the hypnotic beat takes you on a trip to another place.
Correct jazzman👍
That's me many, many times!
This is one of my favorites to listen to while getting a new tattoo. It takes my mind somewhere else and I can relax and the pain is almost non-existent.
In your beanbag, too!
Such a perfect hybrid of jazz, blues, poetry rock ‘n’ roll.
This is a mood, a vibe, an experience. There’s no need to diss contemporary music to appreciate how special a lot of the 60’s and 70’s music is. It’s already clear this stuff is going to be played just as much as classical will be loved and played into the future.
contemporary music is all garbage .
If you don’t know already, you will be amazed to find out that there is no bass guitar player on this song. In fact, the doors never had a bass guitar player. They couldn’t find one they liked so Ray Manzarek found a keyboard that he could play the bass notes on with his left hand, while he played the keys with his right hand. Unbelievable talent to play the keys that well with one hand while simultaneously playing the bass notes with his left!
Jerry Sheff is the bass player on this track. On previous albums, Ray was doing the bass with his left hand, but not on LA Woman. The contribution of the bass on the album is fantastic.
They used a bass player on all their albums. In order to achieve that bottom sound they needed a real bass. It was only during their live shows Ray played keyboard bass.
Been a backyard/sometimes performing musician all my life (58 years) and I've watched a dozen or so of your clips ... I can't tell you how good it feels to hear someone from another generation affirm that what we put our heart and souls into was and is real, validated and appreciated. You have my ear!
Very same. Started playing bass at 13 and at 15 was gigging every weekend pretty much through the rest of H.S.and into my late 40s. I'll be 58 this year.
Frost bite and nerve damage has pretty much put an end to that.
Amen!
Backyard/sometimes performing musician. I like that. Describes me as well.
@@HBFTimmahh sad.
@@scottmcneely1927 it sucks no doubt. But by the early 2000s the 'live scene' was already in the tank. Things just were not the same here in Michigan after 2004/5 as far as playing out and the crowds/scene.
Jim Morrison only lived to be 27 years old, so that "old man" was 27 when he recorded this in 1971., the same year he died. "L.A. Woman" from the same album is awesome too. RIP Jim.
Yep The 27 club, Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin, Winehouse... Just imagine the fun those guys are having .... I wanna be allocated to their dept when I go ❤
Cobain@@sallybannister6224
Jim Morrison never got to hear the finished article; as soon as they were done recording, he flew to Paris where he died.
Isn't it sad to look back to see we lost great writers/musicians so young and long ago. No telling what they could have created but still so grateful for their vital contributions to our era! 💜
To be fair, a 27 year old in the early seventies is probably comparable to a 40 year old man now
The Doors had no bad songs, they were all amazing!
When Rock and Roll was REAL. We "Boomers" who grew up with this will never forget the first time we heard this, or "Five Live Yardbirds" or, or, or... Dig it brother!
Jerry Scheff, 83 years old and counting, was Elvis's bass player and he supplies the background rhythm with John Densmore's percussion....absolutely superb and then we have Robbie Krieger's deft guitar chords and Ray Manzarek's jazzy keyboard melody....finally, on the last track ever recorded by Jim Morrison, we have his haunted voice. An absolute classic piece of music.
The fact that Ray was able to play the bass part and lead parts on two different organs live is nuts. This bassline and drum part are such a good groove
Excellent summation of the final Doors song they recorded.
Haunted voice perfectly describes Jims vocal. It’s like he knew he was leaving LA and the Doors behind and moving to Paris where he died. What a final act! He left behind timeless music that will live on forever.
Great lore, thanks Martin.
Thanks for the trivia. Yes, L.A. Woman, I believe was recorded live in the studio!
Just other worldly❤Jim was a beautiful man with a amazing voice. Miss him
What I love most about this song is the restraint they showed in creating it. It was gently powerful.
Sounds like a jam from a jazz juke. Just finding a groove and a pocket and letting it cook a while
Well said, spot on and truth spoken!!
YES!
Jim Morrison was a Rhode scholar & a poet. He put his poems to song & told his military father he wasn’t going to be a corporate guy. He made music.
How lucky we were to grow up listening to all these incredible musicians! Thanks for bringing them back to life on your channel, I feel 15 years old again!
The End will absolutely blow you away
He reacted to it
it did
This record was made for a certain film! AN a great film…….
@@01chittock Apocolypse Now
The End was on the Doors first album in 1969 Apocalypse Now was released in 1979. The song was not made for the movie, it was chosen for the mood in the scene.
Ray Manzarek just blessed your ears with his keyboard flow 🎹🎶
If Doors are new for you, dig deeper ! They are different, you won’t be disappointed !
This is a song you can keep on infinite repeat, and nobody will complain.
Couldn't tap on this one any faster,, I KNEW you were going to love it..NEXT:: The Doors "People Are Strange" 🔥
Definitely!
Yes!
This is a song that sounds magical: in the dark, looking over a city at night from 14 floors up, drinking some wine, and the music cranked! All the different sounds...🎶🤗
challenge!!
@@poloreacts27 Don't forget your stogie!
@@poloreacts27Polo, you gotta do “ LA Woman “ it’s a awesome tune ! 👍😎
not 14 floors above tho!! down on the floor in the meat and potatoes unseen by the public eye. invisible to the common but understood by the on lookers
@@stevedouglas1654I concur! He will love it.
Been listening to them for 50 years, hard to beat.
In a Gadda da Vida - Iron Butterfly.
55 😊
Remember when FM radio started up. My older brother had me call and request In a Gadda da vida on FM 100 in Memphis one day! They played it! A whole album side!
@@lisamcintyre9832 There were some stations that played it every hour.
BOOMER GROOVIN BABY !!!! …..MAN WE WERE SO COOL!!!!!
I miss those days. The days of real music, real talent.
I can't think of a better keyboard solo in all of modern music.
While this amazing keyboard solo is very,very good, if you haven't heard it before you should listen to Tom Scholz's solo on their song " Smokin' " from the band Boston !
This solo is great for this song but Deep Purple's Jon Lord or Boston have several keyboard solos that smash all others.
Steven Wilson- Home invasion/regret 9
One of my favs but keyboard solos in rock don't get any better than Keith Emerson (ELP), Rick Wakeman (with and without Yes), Deep Purple (Jon Lord), Rod Argent
@@bookhouseboy280 Those are some great ones for sure!
Probably the best keyboard solo in music history .
Phenomenal !
RIP Jim Morrison, poet, singer, God. Inducted into the 27 CLUB July 3, 1971.
Also, Lizard King
Phenomenal song and the movie with Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison is out of this world.
Totally agree. Great movie. I watched it a thousand times. Polo, check out the movie as well.
I'll have to look for that...
He becomes Morrison.
Yes.
Yeah you should do a reaction to the movie- Val Kilmer is almost more Jim than Jim. My apologies to those who disagree, I k😮now
I’ll never forget driving home in the rain with my high school crush as this came on the radio. ❤
was on varsity swimming in HS and we came out of the locker room to this one (our mascot was Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders)
It kills me to this day that this was played on the radio station my dad listened to in the car. 😂 Quite the experience, looking back.
Same for, a riding song down a desert highway at night.
Not on the radio, but on an 8 track, in dash tape player...along with the long version of Inna Godda Da Davida...in a 1955 Chevy...with the boy who became my husband...
❤
Manzarek and Krieger are just so unique. To get two guys like that in the same band is truly mind-blowing. Amazing musicians. So uniquely stylistic. And then Morrison's voice on top of it? So dope.
We had the best bands and the best music in the ‘70s.
Jim Morrison's voice was like butter!
Not to mention those leather pants.
@@Beth-ou3wjDon't mention the leather pants.
What a crooner!
Polo (great name), I seem to have stumbled into the rabbit hole of reaction videos (music, politics, social commentary) and in the process stumbled onto you.
Your voice is so soothing. Your reactions are blunt but never brutal and usually amusing. You express intense emotions in a clear and reasonable manner.
You exhibit such power and gentleness at the same time.
Dear man. It’s a pleasure to know you.
Wow, one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Thanks and thanks for watching
@@poloreacts27they’re right! You have the voice of a late night jazz deejay. Sexy! ❤
@@poloreacts27 Dear Polo,
I stumbled on to you too, just as the gentleman said. I really appreciate that you don’t keep interrupting the songs. Sometimes, the music is so good and brings back so many memories and evokes so much emotion that it’s hard to listen. On a lighter’note’, two doors songs that l love that are vastly different are, Don’t You Love Her Madly and Touch Me Babe. Sexy, cool, fast and unforgettable. Keep up the good work. You’re a class act.
The band you'd dream of being in.Morrison's velvet vocals and charisma backed up by the incredible musicianship of Krieger,Manzarek and Densmore and vast array of killer tunes.Mind blowing.
Yes! An absolutely stunning song, a classic that will never die.
Light My Fire is a masterpiece. When the Music is Over another great one by the Doors.
Written by Robby Krueger at age 19.
@@TheDivayenta Yes. I could listen to Light My Fire a thousand times and get the same feeling on the song every time. Just my opinion.
Lots of people’s opinion!
@@annehemmer5153 Thank you
Dear Polo love ya man. Can you just imagine being 8 9 10 years old when you first hear this. And all the late 60s early 70s music. Mind altering and life changing. Bless era
I was 10 when this song was released in 1971. This is my Doors' song.
@sisterhoney61 nice. My sister was 17 an I was 8
I was 13 and every year just got better
I was that age at this time. Was in High School in the mid 70s and listened to Dark Side of the Moon and all the Zeppelin albums around. Punk, New Wave hit in my early 20s and in my early 30s grunge. Loved it all. Then the 2000s hit and I saw the end of the road for the great and creative and innovative music I felt privileged to grow up to.
Picture this: Cruising on a motorcycle over the Mississippi River through Memphis at midnight during a blue moon, listening to this song. Best memory ever!
Im 59, been hearing this song for a lot of years. Others have come and gone. This hasnt got old yet.
the doors at there best had a transcending power. unique signature & elemental themes & sounds... inconsistent band, but when on their A game, like here.... indeed for the ages.
Other Doors songs you need to hear. Hello, I love you - Light my fire - People are strange - Love me two times... All Bangers guaranteed
I was always enamored of Crystal Ship
King Snake too.
@@HBFTimmahh yes indeed Crystal Shop and King Snake too. But the problem is that these are obscure. He only wants radio played songs so more people will recognize and click for views. Think radio people don't go off the beaten path with your obscurity it's bad for the channel.
@@laurabrevitz3944In high school gym class we had to make up a dance routine and could pick our own music. I picked Crystal Ship! It’s a hypnotic song that makes you move like a slow winding river.
You forgot to mention 'Roadhouse Blues'
I drove semis for over 49 years and this is one of the songs I would play over and over while cruising down dark lonely roads at night. It was almost magical.
I can picture it !!!
Hear, hear, keepin the rubber side down. 🎼🎸. 👍
...and I never picked up a hitch hiker again after hearing this song. It was quite common to pick them up in the 60's.
Magical is a perfect word to describe this fabulous song., I feel transported through portals when I listen to it.
Its taken me 58 years to understand the song. Life... We are the riders of the storm called life. Thanks, Polo! I actually slowed down after a few gummies and listened.
I came here to post this
morrison was at his best w/ grand metaphor. blake influenced. you nail it, its an observation of the culture, & the indiv & collective society role in it.... road=Time (past, present, future). hitcher= destructive temptation. choice to pick up-the fork in the road. free will. free to find love sustainment. warning but also hope. Jim's farewell to the homeland.
I first discovered the Doors when I was about 14, in the early 80’s and have listened to them ever since, I’ve never tired of them and they are still one of my favourites. We had so much good music back then, so blessed to have grown up with it all
Yes! This is one of their pinnacles! Jim was a very dark, mercurial songwriter! I love the lines of “there’s a killer on the road, his brain is squirming like a toad”.
Jim wrote poetry and I believe published poems.
They really were a genius flash of incredible talent that was quick, but upped the level of art/instrumentation, lyricism and storytelling!
What an amazing time to be alive! Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Grace Slick, Carlos Santana, The Mamas and The Papa’s, Joni Michell, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Simon & Garfunkel!
There was some GROUNBREAKING MUSIC!❤
We lived in such a musically magical time. ❤
I’m surprised no one mentioned it but the lines is a killer on the low road and the lines. If you pick them up entire family will die was based on a serial killer from Texas in the early 60s.
The drummer and bass player are locked in so tight they almost sound like one exotic instrument.
In. The. Pocket.
Ray's keys pull you in until you forget everything going on outside the world they are creating here.
Jim doesn't overdo _anything_ . He's riding the flow like a surfer on the perfect wave.
One of my top 3 favorites from The Doors.
the drummer and the bass player are one person. Ray Manzarek. He played a keyboard bass with one hand and a keyboard with the other
Ray Manzarek IS THE BASSIST and the Keyboardist. They didn't have a base guitar player. The Doors have always been one of my favorite bands. I was a teenager when they were On Fire. Please keep going down thus rabbit hole. They were iconic. You might have heard their music in a movie about the 60s. Jim Morrison died in 1970. Songs...Unknown Soldier...People are Strange...When the Music's Over...Roadhouse Blues
Perfectly stated...
@@micheleferrazzani638Not on this song. The bassist from Elvis Presley’s band was brought in to lay down the bass track here.
@@maryannturton9830 Thanks. Perfectly performed...
I listened to this song for 30 years before I learned that isn’t a bass guitar, it’s Ray playing the bass line on keyboard. I just this a fender or something. RIP Ray thank you sharing your talents with us.
At the end of the song James Morrison whispers over it, and that is the last thing he recorded before he died
This song was inspired in part by a cowboy song, "Ghost Riders in the Sky" The part about a killer on the road was inspired by a hitchhiker, Billy "Cockeyed" Cook, who killed an entire family who picked him up. "Into this world we're thrown" was inspired by a Heidegger lecture Jim attended. There's a Wikipedia page about it
Ever notice how that perpetual motion device in the background always manages to find the beat of every song?
4 way Planar axis metronome
I have now. Thanks
I will never be able to unsee that. Thanks.... I can't even see anything but the perpetual motion device. I gotta get one of those for my meditation space
It's jammin
I love that damn thing
This is music from my youth. I really like seeing your generation exploring my high school music and seeing how you react.
its lovely to see a whole new generation appreciate a brilliant composition such as this. we were all flabbergasted at the revolutionary genius and newness the first time
My favorite Doors song of all time. I was working in a car-wash at 14 years old and this was playing all the time.
My absolute favorite song of all time. I'm a huge Doors fan! I met Ray many years ago after he wrote his book. He gave a talk and impromptu performance, too. He said that the very last thing Jim recorded before heading to Paris was the whispered vocal on Riders. Check out An American Prayer - it's a mix of music and poetry that is absolutely transcendent.
Morrison sounds like he's got one foot in the afterlife.
You ever watched the Val Kilmer Doors movie? It's pretty damn good in my opinion, Val plays a perfect Jim Morrison. Like it's crazy how much he looks like Jim lol
Quite a career for Val as Doc Holiday AND Jim Morrison he fills his skin with the perfect expression of each character. @@mdog86
It’s called a Walking Bassline. Isn’t it great?❤
@@mdog86funny. I remember as a kid saying Val Kilmer looked more like Jim Morrison than Jim Morrison did lol
This Jazz Rock fusion groove actually goes extremely well with the movement of your kinetic sculpture.
The DOORS are pure geniuses all 4 of them they have a deep catalog that's fire !!! ✌️🔥💯...
I met Jim Morison a few times when I was a kid in Alexandria VA where his family lived. One year I got a new bike for Christmas and rode it all over town in the spring. One day I was riding down King street when I saw Jim. He stopped me and said he liked my bike. After a little bit he asked me if he could take it for a ride. Well I never seen him or my bike again. And did not know his last name or where his parents lived. About four years later this album came out and I bought it. And there he was on the album cover. I wrote him in LA asking about my bike. And never got a answer.
I don’t know if this is a true story or not but either way I love it
@@jacksonizzy1 It was at a deserted WW2 military housing area called chinquapin. Where dopers hung out there mostly huffers where you could punch a hole in the drywall and keep a stash. That is where Jim hung out.
I lived there for 25 years- know it well!
Awesome story, man.
I would think that Jim is/was an arsehole, because he didn't give you your bike back. 😅
However, it is a very cool and interesting Story. 😎
P.S.: I have to mention I am a fan of Jim and the Doors. 😉
The "accidental" overdubbing of Jim whispering every line as he listened to the playback, REALLY makes the song all that more Perfect... once you hear, or know of the Whispering, the more you hear it.
I knew he whispered the backing vocals, I didn't know it was an accident. If it really was that makes it even more amazing.
Would like to heat the whisper
I was about 11 or 12 when this would play on the radio and it always scared me a little, but as an adult it's genius.
I can't believe that someone your age has never heard a classic like this in their life
🎼I love Ray Manzarek’s keyboards. The bass line is in sync with the drummer and Jim Morrison’s vocal slides right into place.☮️💟
There will only ever be one Jim Morrison. RIP
Way ahead of his time. He was the key 😉 to the band.
Roadhouse Blues and L.A.Woman are both bangers...
Pretty cool eh? And that wonderful voice!
Just discovered your channel Polo and wanna say, as a Boomer lady.... "you're welcomed". Grew up on this great music and I know it sounds corny, maybe unfair to younger generations, but....this music will never be replicated again and will live on forever. Music today will have a shorter shelf life and younger ppl will still be listening to 60's and 70's music. Just sayin', no disrespect. I enjoy watching your videos. 🤘
LA Woman is another huge hit
Ditto
Roadhouse Blues would also go to Polo's 4Runner.
Mojo risin!
LA Woman is the ultimate cruising song!
A classic by any measure.
They don't make em like they used to.
And that is Jim F… Morrison and The Doors. Thanks for flying with us!
LA Woman, Light my Fire! Another genius we lost way too early!
A great song to listen to up loud in the car while driving home through a storm.
"Light my fire" is must. Theirs greatest hit by far, but don't hold it against to them.
Polo, I think that you are a found hippie at heart. Welcome to psychedelic rock 60’s style and the hippie fam. You belong with us! 🥰💝🌺🙏🏼✌️
It's the band, jazz musicians, that make this song GREAT!
I am 65 and watch you each week several times I enjoy your excitement at the music of my life enjoy the journey
I just happened to be five bong rips deep when I happened upon this video…..freakin sweet man!!!! Nicely played.
Dude
Nice 🤙
Check out Regurgitator, bong in my eye lol mowing a few lawns here as well!
@@delmaroeton9566 I just checked it out. They’re kicking some bong ass!!! Loved it! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
I first heard the DOORS when I was 12 years old and it changed my life
My all time favorite by them! I was very fortunate to grow up in this era....the music is pure fire! 🔥🔥🔥
When I was 12 I saved up some money and bought my first two albums, Doors - The Doors, and Cream’s - Wheels of Fire. Everyone else was all over the Beatles and thought I was a freak. Still freaking!!
"When the Music's Over" a track off the 'Strange Days' album by The Doors released back in 1967 is surrounded in psychedelia and has an intense vibe but a nice flow. A little element of "The End" an epic song by The Doors recorded in 1966 can be easily noticed in the arrangement of this composition. At any rate, the song is hot and worth checking out. 🔍🎧🎤🎸🎹🥁🔊🔥☮
You're going to love the doors. Their combination of blues and rock will be right up your alley. Every song on every album is its own experience.
It's hard to imagine someone never having heard this before. :))
Enjoy the rest of The Doors.
Ray didn't play bass on this studio version. Jerry Scheff gets the credit. Look him up, he's an incredibly experienced session guy who deserves to be recognized.
True, Ray did play the bass part live with his left hand while playing the rest of the parts with his right though and that's crazy because the bass part is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
This is the type of song that you listen to when you’re in a chill mood, or trying to be in a chill mood and when you just wanna get lost in a song. It will definitely take you on a journey . Kinda like Pink Floyd does. 😊
If you really want to go on a journey take a listen of Jade Warrior's Waves part 1 & Waves part 2.
@@lanpartyanimal5215 ok, ty… I’ll check it out 😊
Lights off, headphones on is the best way to listen to this song
After a bowl or two...
"Light My Fire" was a huge mega hit. It influence rock music by blending Jazz and Rock
I love the way Ray uses the keyboard in this. The acoustic shimmer of raindrops that fall as the storm rises and then passes. It's a remarkable song.
Roadhouse blues will get you pumped
Up Polo!!!
Phemomenal Jim Morrison...best musicians ever
The late great Ray Manzarek knew that every generation would find something to like about the MUSIC itself
