Ray Manzarek, man, that dude could play some keyboards. The fact that these 4 guys came together at just the right time....man the universe is one crazy awesome SOB
The Doors were an exceptionally talented and eccentric group. The late Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist, wrote this song. I saw a CZcams video where he explained the intricacies of composing this masterpiece. He used many musical influences including J.S. Bach. He was a genius at musical theory, and he met the singer, Jim Morrison while the attended UCLA. Jim Morrison's primary interest was writing until Ray Manzarek influenced him to become a rock singer. Robby Kreiger, the guitarist, was a flamenco (Spanish) guitarist until he joined the Doors. The drummer, John Densmore, was a jazz drummer until he joined the Doors. Robby and John still jam in the LA area. This was a fascinating melding of great talent! Jim Morrison was buried in Paris at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in 1971. My wife and I visited Paris last year (my first time) and I made a point to see Jim Morrison's grave while we were there (it is not easy to find!).
The name of the band was taken from an Aldous Huxley book "The Doors of Perception" which Jim had read, Huxley him self took it from a William Blake poem "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear as it is, infinite".
I come from the 60s and have always loved Jim Morrison for his unpredictability on stage. He was a revolutionary, and rebellious. Unfortunately, as was so often the case, he died young. RIP Jim.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite." -- William Blake. The name of the band comes from Aldous Huxley's book THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION and that title came from the Blake quote.
That was the get super high days. I think he was one of the" 27 club". Artist that died @ age 27. This song was 🔥 then and still is 🔥. And he was fineeee!
The band’s name arose from a quote by William Blake in his book, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” They were going to name themselves “The Doors of Perception,” but decided to shorten it. “The Doors” sounds like a cool name and it has an intriguing meaning. You have no idea what a multi-dimensional rabbit hole you’ve stepped into here with The Doors! You don’t need to understand them; you just need to feel them. "Release control. We're breaking through." OH, MY!! I GOTTA GO!! I'm Late! I'm late! I'm very, very late!
I love this because it's the original version of the song most people don't know that this song is really 21 minutes long I have the original album one of the greatest rock and rock bands ever rest in peace Jim Morris
Jim Morrison was a rock god. Still is. They are obviously unique in every way and were incomparable live. I hope you go down this particular rabbit hole - it is worth it!!
William Blake - 'If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees... This was the inspiration for the name. Jim Morrison was a poet.
I did not now he died at 27. They heart failure. There is a thing called 27 club fames people seemed to die at that age. When I think of the band i all ways think of this song. Thanks Ola i love your accent i don't recognize it it's sweet.❤😊
The name of the band "The Doors" is a shortening of the name of a book "The Doors of Perception" by Aldus Huxley. Jim was first and foremost a poet, his singing was secondary in his mind. You also have to know that when the band formed and for a couple more years LSD was still legal and they partook of it liberally. It is where some of the lyrics get their very vivid imagery but it all still turns back into the song as good poetry does. You would almost have to go back to the 'Beat' poets of the late 50's and earliest 60's to connect to the poetic styles.
It’s well documented by Ray & John who found Morrison in a hotel hiding under the bed heavily tripping on LSD 2 hours before the start of the show So the entire concert he is flying high but keeps it together well for the entire show
Jim Morrison was a member of the 27 Club which are the rock stars who passed away at the age of 27. The 27 Club also included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and I believe Brian Jones the guitarist from the Rolling Stones. I think Amy Whinehouse is also in the club now. It is obviously not a club anyone wants to join.
Glad you appreciate their musicianship and especially the drummer, John Densmore, a very accomplished drummer who had lots of jazz influence in his drumming. The name Doors came from an autobiographical book, ‘Doors of Perception,’ by the famous author Aldous Huxley who recounts in it his experiences with psychedelics and its mystical insights. So many great Doors songs to react to such as "The End", "Crystal Ship" "Touch Me" and the epic "Riders on the Storm".
Jim , the singer , isn’t sad per se he’s stoned out of his mind as usual 😂😂😂😂 There is a good movie about Jim Morrison and the Doors made in the nineties. Stars Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan It’s called The Doors and maybe react to it as a bio picture ❤❤❤❤❤
More DOORS ! Please do ROADHOUSE BLUES studio version and LA WOMAN and RIDERS ON THE STORM and LOVE ME TWO TIMES .................THE DOORS meaning :he Doors of Perception is an autobiographical book written by Aldous Huxley. Published in 1954, it elaborates on his psychedelic experience under the influence of mescaline in May 1953. Huxley recalls the insights he experienced
Olavity, this song is unusual for The limited role Jim plays. It's really more a showcase of the band's instrumental talents. But almost any other song of theirs you try, you will realize Jim's vocals are the centerpiece of the Doors' music. Dramatic case in point? Try "Riders on the Storm." 😊
Jim was usually high when he performed. He would often take acid. Once he talked drummer John Densmore into taking acid before going on stage and Densmore had so much difficulty playing that he never did it again.
Hello Olavity, I am a 65 year old Musician and I like when you react to music I know 😁RIP Singer Jim Morrison & Keyboardist Ray Manzarek and Guitarist Robby Krieger is 78
BTW HONEY… THERE IS ACTUALLY A BIOGRAPHY DONE ON JIM MORRISON (TITLED “THE DOORS”) IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING FOR YOU TO REACT TO ON YOUR MOVIE CHANNEL SOMETIME.🖖
The studio version is something... you have to listen to it. You will be not be disappointed. Jim Morrison is a legend for his magnetism. You just can't ignore it. Of course, Jim had to sing very demanding songs, without all the modern gimnicks. He wasn't a machine.
Yes Jim Morrison joined the 27 club. Like Janis Joplin and so many others has done. Listen to Riders on the storm, by the doors. There are also a movie about Jim Morrison, check that out.
Riders of the Storm! A great song from the Doors! Great band! I learned a lot about him from the movie, The Doors! They were a bit before my time but their music never dies! Love ur reactions! ❤
I have seen many versions of this, but never this one. It's chill for sure, but not the dynamic and killer song it can be. It's long, far longer than the one that got them kicked off of Ed Sullivan's guest list. His voice does not seem strong here. But you did say you liked it. Check out the LA Woman Album
HA Hi Olavity! Welcome To The World Of **The Lizard King** truly **Hope** ya **Enjoy** the **Ride** & To me anyway this band is definitely one LOTS of people MUST have **Experienced** whilst under some kind of **Influence** heh so yea just keep that in mind when listening to them heh AND even without any substances this band can put ya in a **Trance** **PixieHugz&LuvzALL** **RockON!!!**
Touch me, should be your next song. 1 of there best & my fav. don’t do live songs for the Doors, They are boring & or Jim is out of it. Listen to album versions. To think that Jim was only 27 when he died, is amazing. He lived a full life in 27 yrs. 1 crazy dude!!! He’s high as a kite in this video/pretty much always. 🤷♂️😂
Hi Ola, this brings back so many memories. My Dad and uncle used to sing this when we went on camping trips. Unfortunately, they both had terrible voices. 😩 Jim Morrison was a pretty strange dude, but he was extremely talented. He passed away in 1971. An autopsy was not performed, so the cause of his death was never confirmed, though many people believe it was a drug overdose. After Morrison's death, Manzarek and Krieger took over the lead vocals.
He had congestive heart failure but that was very likely due to excessive drug use. Something similar happened to Andy Gibb (from previous cocaine use) whose heart was weakened as a result and he died from myocarditis, a heart inflammation caused by a virus that most people would survive.
Sadly one of my favorite groups, never sounded as good (voice wise) in concert as they did in the studio… and yeah I know those of you that saw them live, and were high, rocked out and thought it was the best, lol… Check out the studio version
This live version isn't all that great. If you want to hear a longer and more animated version, where Jim belts it out: czcams.com/video/Zu-DT3Ietcs/video.htmlsi=EP6Xln8WmKGOEDLS

I was waiting for the moment that you would notice how handsome he was, you didn't disappoint!!🤣
Me to😂
The other members of the band didn't know until the show was over that Jim the singer had dropped LSD before going in stage
I think Robbie is underrated as a guitar player. He should get more attention.
I love how Ola says "Chill". It sounds so sexy with her accent.
Ray Manzarek, man, that dude could play some keyboards. The fact that these 4 guys came together at just the right time....man the universe is one crazy awesome SOB
Her: He is cute but why he sad?
Jim: Im stone dear😂
Jim Morrison was a poet. There is a book of his poems that was published.
More than one book...
Jim Morrison is a drunken buffoon posing as a poet. Give me the Guess Who. They have the courage to BE drunken buffoons, which MAKES them poetic. 😜😂
I think this is the show from the Hollywood Bowl where Jim was so stoned they almost had to cancel

Ray Manzarek was a great keyboard player. He played both the bass parts and organ parts together...
I come from the 60s and have always loved Jim Morrison for his unpredictability on stage. He was a revolutionary, and rebellious. Unfortunately, as was so often the case, he died young. RIP Jim.
As high as all of them were during this concert, Jim was HIGH AF! Still did an amazing job of performing.

Light My Fire was a huge hit and made Jim Morrison a superstar. They have many great songs.
Classic song written by Robbie Kreiger (guitarist)!!..
Mr. Mojo Risin, there is an old saying "if Rock & Roll has a secret morrison is the only Rockstar that knows that".
After they played this song on the Ed Sullivan Show they were banned from ever coming back. Morrisons response was 'we already did that show '.
listen to when the music is over
one of my favourites tracks
Ok, Now that's TOO SWEET 😎🤘🏾🤘🏾
Hi Olavity. Just love your smile, laugh and the way you react to this video /song fair play keep up the good reactions ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💓💓💓💓💓🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣
So many great Doors songs. I recommend the LA Woman video next. A bit different but it will give you an idea of the journey these guys went on.
That was the get super high days. I think he was one of the" 27 club". Artist that died @ age 27. This song was 🔥 then and still is 🔥. And he was fineeee!
The Doors have 3 kinds of songs...
Long, psychedelic, deep
Short, pop/rock
Blues
They have MANY great songs.

Ótimo
Se as portas da percepção fossem abertas. Tudo aparece como o homem e, infinito...
William Black
To paraphrase William Blake -
We will awake when the doors of perception are opened.
Peace on earth.
I'm so proud of you reacting for so much old and great bands. Claps 👏👏👏
I did not now he died at 27.
They heart failure. There is a thing called 27 club fames people seemed to die at that age.

A band you should review from the 60's and 70's is Steppenwolf. They provided the sound track to the Easy Rider film. You will love the hairstyles!
Love your review and I know the doors themselves would have loved it

So the entire concert he is flying high but keeps it together well for the entire show
That was at the whisky performance.
There are things that are known, and there are things that are unknown. And in between are The Doors.
There is nothing else like The Doors... They have a bunch of great tunes .. Jim is a great vocalist...

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana,sadly, is also a member of the 27 club😢
@@leannmiller7153 Yes, I thought Kurt Cobain might also be a member but I wasn’t sure.
And Pigpen from the Grateful Dead.
Densmore, is giving the cues for the changes.
Glad you appreciate their musicianship and especially the drummer, John Densmore, a very accomplished drummer who had lots of jazz influence in his drumming.

My favourite live performance from The Doors.
Loved your reaction. Can't wait for you to listen to more from The Doors. ❤
You could always watch the movie THE DOORS starring starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison
Listen to Dazed and confused by Led Zeppelin, but the studio version
My favorite Band growing up. Stay with the 1st album and go with - Break On Through
Jim part of the 27 club with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Amy Winehouse.
React to Gloria by the Doors.The cut version of course. You couldn't play the uncut version on CZcams🔥😂
Is the uncut version of Gloria available anywhere?
Bangerrr🔥🔥🙏🏽
Jim , the singer , isn’t sad per se he’s stoned out of his mind as usual 😂😂😂😂
There is a good movie about Jim Morrison and the Doors made in the nineties. Stars Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan
It’s called The Doors and maybe react to it as a bio picture ❤❤❤❤❤
That movie was shit 😡.
Olavity. They were so chill as say because they were probably of their heads on shall we say external infernal influences
Nice reaction. They have so many good songs. Try LA woman. i believe there last song that they did together.
More DOORS ! Please do ROADHOUSE BLUES studio version and LA WOMAN and RIDERS ON THE STORM and LOVE ME TWO TIMES .................THE DOORS meaning :he Doors of Perception is an autobiographical book written by Aldous Huxley.

I am 48 years young.😊 As a young boy, i just opened the "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" and... they are still open. BREAK ON THROUGH!❤
I wanna too..But..The Doors..Listening, hearing and.. Alone... Above.."There are things known, and things unknown, and between are... the doors"

I was wondering through this whole performance if Jim wasn’t probably stoned/high at the time, cuz he’s soooo MELLOW.😉
Hello, Please react to "roadhouse blues"... Its amazing song!. XOXO!!!
Chicks like Morrison for his looks and men like Morrison for the chicks he could get.
