The Doors, amazing!! I was probably 7/8 and I remember my 16 year old brother taking his Harley across country to California...he always sent me postcards and pictures, I have pictures of him with Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix...I keep them in a safety deposit box and I think I'm going to will them to my grandson...my brother told me so many amazing stories!! My brother has passed on but all the memories keep him alive!! My brother and I were always extremely close, he was my big brother and I was his little sis, he never called me by my name, only called me sis!! My brother was a very quiet, laid-back type of person, I was always the rowdy one lol...we went to the Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon tour in Phoenix in the 70s, what a fantastic time we had!! Keep up the great work, I love what you do!!
That's so cool! Those were the days when anybody could afford to live in l.a. so it got lots of cool ppl like your brother from all over the country looking for something new. Wish I could go back in time to see it tthen!
Wow..... such a cool story. You brother sounds like one cool dude.
Yep those photos sound like something that a lot of people would love to see..please dont ever lose them..and get them copied!
Wow !! That’s incredible man …. Stars of today don’t even compare with the likes of that line up back then, blows my mind
This story blows my mind, your brother was one cool guy, you were so lucky
Saw Bob Dylan and Paul Simon at the Bowl in June of '99, six rows back from the stage. Val Kilmer sitting a few seats over from us with a beautiful woman, and Jack Nicholson just behind us with his head thrown back the entire time with an epic grin. Magical night. Saw Tom Petty there, too, his second to last concert before he died. I've seen several others as well, but those two stand out. Being a Doors fan, and having met Ray, every time I'm there I feel their ghosts.
"Seven people took a ride.Six bachelors & their bride".😵💫🤣
I'm a guy from England who couldn't find magic in the Stones, or the Who, or Led Zep. But the Doors... Oh wow. That first album. Pure gold!
Weirdo lol

Realy?
Think about they were just around for 5 years and they are still listened to and talked about.
No band or music is or has been like the Doors since.
Rip Jim and Ray

Imagine listening to Light My Fire at the Bowl, with today's sound technology.
if he was alive he would just laugh at todays music
My parents went to "The Doors" last concert that they played in Miami. I still remember my Dad talking about seeing them play LIVE.
My parents saw them LIVE, But in 1997 I went to Paris and of course, I had to go to Jim's final resting place. I can only imagine that Michael standing @ the Hollywood Bowl was the same feeling I had standing at Jim's grave.
Really?! So cool 😎
@@timfields6130 As Morrison died decades before, I figure it was the Quasi-Doors?
Tim - how incredible that your parents saw that particular concert -- Jim's last concert.
From time to time since 2020 I watch one clip of him over and over from that concert because he was trying to wake everyone up. That's why he used to yell out "WAKE UP!!" at his audience. But at this concert he went on a rant about how we're all a bunch of slaves and asked "How long are you going to take it?" This clip of him fits what's happening today to a T!
Here it is (he's swearing in it): czcams.com/video/pxcUh45E-I8/video.html&ab_channel=Krzysiek86PL
God, how I wish he was still alive today.
Isn't it interesting that he had to flee the country and then was killed after this concert?
I heard he said he was drunk at this concert and that's why he went off.
You know, his father was responsible for the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin which got the U.S. involved in the Vietnam War. I know his dad has his own story which is that he meant to try to do the right thing but he was put in between a rock and a hard place.
At any rate, Jim knew things about how our society is run and it seems like he really wanted to let us know we need to stand up for ourselves and not put up with the power elite trying to control us. I'll always be grateful for Jim Morrison and his monumental effort. He tried, Man, he tried.
Miami wasn’t even close to their last concert, sorry
I had never noticed the moth flying away before, that is magical and iconic !
The Doors and the Hollywood Bowl.......it doesn't get much better than that.....
the sound coming out of that place must be mind blowing when the Doors where playing
Can you imagine what it would have been like that night to watch them live there? Can you picture what would be, so limitless and free?
Desperately in need..of some strangers hand...💕
@@crazycatlady68 in a desperate land.........
This one might make me cry, huge fan of The Doors here!
Man, I LOVE The Doors! I play drums in a punk band and I get the Doors hate from people all the time and I tell them Just watch the Doors at the Hollywood Bowl and when Jim starts going off about a grasshopper, watch the 3 musicians of the band and how they have to start improvising right there on the spot! How they are all looking at each other and raising an eyebrow or giving a nod when they want to change. They get softer and louder depending on whatever Jim is going off about and they do it flawlessly. THAT was the real magic of The Doors.
Cool comment but what do you mean by "the Doors hate"?
@@websurfer5772 i think he means that many people in the punk music scene tell him that he is not allowed to like the doors because he plays in a punk Band.😌
@@Leo-qe3gl Oh. That is such a foreign concept to me. Why do people not want to mix genres and styles? I love it all - every style - when the song's right. Also, it can have to do with your mood.
So many people seem one dimensional to me. SMH
Thanks for explaining though.
@@websurfer5772 this is a foreign concept to me too. I like many different styles of music. Greetings from Leipzig/ germany 😌
@@Leo-qe3gl You're cool in my book. Greetings from SF Bay Area.
I was one of those 18k people there that night, never dreaming it'd become a historic concert. I just wanted to see the Doors. Surprised, looking back, my parents allowed me to go, I was so young. First concert I ever went to. Don't remember they were late, do remember the Chambers Brothers opened for them. The only song I remember them playing was Time Has Come Today. They were good, I liked them, even if now they seem an odd choice to open for the Doors.
I'm positive they played The End. I remember Jim Morrison burping into the mic during a long quiet spot. It did seem like he was high on something, but I was way to young to even guess what it might have been or know that for certain. I am sure they played Light My Fire, probably Crystal Ship, and I think Whiskey Bar. Not sure if I'm mixing up the album with the concert on others or not.
I remember him wearing the brown leather pants with the silver concho belt, but not the black shirt.
My seat was towards the center, just behind where the box seats ended. Thought they were attached folding wood theater seats, but I could be wrong, they may have been more like benches with backs.
Thanks for this video. It was a lot of fun seeing the Bowl for the first time in decades and revisiting the location of my very first concert. I saw someone uploaded some footage of it and am going to watch that next. Curious how much of it I'll remember.
Love the Doors great video thanks...Jim on acid..Ode to a grasshopper...oh I blew it it's a moth lol
8:17 literally when you said the word (levitating) A flower fell the exact opposite of being up. 🌸
Michael has never dropped acid and doesn't drink. Respect!
I saw the Doors at a Seattle area pop festival in 1969. The band The Guess Who played that day, too.
That was a great presentation. The history there is just incredible. And it looks very similar to 1968.
I looove those old concrete venues in hills. The one in Berkeley is pretty rad too. Built by WR Hearst.
Love the Doors and the Stones.
Have seen the Doors Hollywood Bowl concert many times.
Would have been great if Mick Jagger in the crowd that night had come on the stage. What an awesome piece of rock history that would have been, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger on the same stage !
I'm wondering if Mick gave Jim the acid. 😄
@@websurfer5772The devil 😈 and the lizard king 🦎 chillin
@@effdonahue6595 Yesssa!
Wow! Thanks Michael, I'm a huge Doors fan. You did an absolute fantastic job(as usual)👍
All these decades being a doors fan and I never heard the story of the grasshopper and seeing the MA fly away until your video which was SO COOL to learn! Jim Morrison wasn't just a great musician but an amazing poet and actually you really got me into poetry. Is what an amazing video! Thank you!!!✌️🎵🎼🎙🦎
B. B juice and

It would’ve been a totally awesome experience to see The Doors live in concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
I'm such a huge fan of The Doors and i absolutely love their music over the years, i have a an original t-shirt of The Doors when they playing in Hollywood Bowl back 1968 , i'm happy for those people who saw these iconic four men playing during their live shows around the world :) i always found so much love and hapiness everytime i'm listening their songs , Jim Morrison and his iconic staging voice will never be forgotten , he's gone to soon , but always will be living in our musical hearts
Yeah right.......
I've seen many classical concerts and a couple of rock shows at the Bowl over the years (John Fogerty, Radiohead, and Oasis). It's a great venue to see live music.
I wish I'd been around to see The Doors back in 1968. I saw them in 2002 when my brother was actually working for Ray Manzarek as his keyboard technician on their reunion tour. He did that for almost a year and even got to play with Robby Krieger and Ray. The best part for him, he says, was hearing stories about Jim Morrison. He was only the crazy guy when he was drinking and usually on stage. Most of the time he was quiet, writing his poetry or reading. The movie that Oliver Stone made completely missed the part of Jim that was an intellectual and an artist.
Love watching your videos, and Happy Halloween.
Killer story
Good to know, thank you. I like Oliver Stone and think he's quite talented but I think he underestimated people who would have enjoyed seeing the real Jim when he's working and being contemplative and creative.
Spend a few hours at the La Cienga Motel, its an amazing feeling
I loved the Doors music 🎶....
Wow, wish I was there. It's beautiful. The Doors will always be one of my favroute bands. Thank you for taking us there to the Bowl.
I’ll be at the Bowl in November with my wife and kids for Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction. First time there! ⚡️🤘⚡️
One other thing: Harrison Ford was part of the camera crew for the Doors that night
Love anything to do with the Doors! R.I.P. Jim. Thank you!
My doors history "Light My Fire" was #1 on the charts the day I ws born😀😀😀😀😀😀
The details than you put on this video deserves a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
It is amazing that Jim was able to perform while on acid - He's a TRIP! Jeff & Vicky
Acid was on Jim 🤡😵💫
You're a great story teller! Love watching you!
I would LOVE if you did a LA tour of doors locations (like Venice Beach, and the La Cienega hotel, room 32). Jim Morrison still has a lot of draw even today. Please please do!!
Thank you for this amazing video .. we are going to see Boy George and culture club at the Hollywood Bowl in August .. as an 80s teenager seeing them in the Bowl will be out of this world !! Xx
Legendary Venue Indeed!
"The Doors"
Thank You 😊 ❤️👍🏼
Loved the Doors. Got to see them twice best concert I ever saw ..
I'm from Oregon and traveled to many states for shows and this one is on my bucket list. But want to see the right show for the venue. It's cool you can visit the venue when there is no event going on.
"… Cancel my subscription to the resurrection"
They still are the Greatest Band from "Fantastic LA"
TTYL
I just love your story telling talent…and how you see things in your mind! You make me think outside the usual box to other cool view points! Keep these videos coming!
‘This is the strangest life I’ve ever known’
-Jim Morrison
Love the Doors! Thanks for another great vlog! Here's a bit of trivia: Harrison Ford was a roadie/camera operator for the Doors in 68. So Han Solo shot Jim Morrison! Lol!
The Doors is a band I wish I could of seen but Jim died when I was 5. A special band close to my heart. Thanks for this and all you and Jessica do. 🖤🖤... I took acid once, it was a trip that lasted 3 days... Never again.
I discovered The Doors/Jim Morrison in 1982 when a guy at school loaned me No One Here Gets Out Alive...I was just thinking about how then JM had only been dead 11 yrs but the time period I was in seemed just as remote from the The Doors time period as it does right now. Great vid, I learned new stuff, thanks!
John Williams is going to be there next week! Definitely get tickets!!
This is so informative and interesting even though I don't know anything about the Doors. Y'all always go above and beyond in your story telling.
Watch the Doors movie with Val Killer playing Morisson,it's the best!
I ve never seen or have been at The Hollywood Bowl so I.couldn t believe what I saw like you it was me away!
Jim Morrison was one cool dude! Thanks!
ANYTHING Doors count me in!!🤘🕸💀
Acid is a major trip. I’ve experienced it many times. The doors. Big fan
Funny story: I was 10 or 11 years old when in our German class at school we had a task to fill out a questionnaire, one of the questions was about favorite music, I didn’t know what to write and decided to write Doors because my father had CDs, and something told me that this band is cool. I still listen to Doors.
Wow. At the time of that concert I was a four year old growing up just a few miles south in Long Beach, completely oblivious to all that history. Thanks for another great video!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks!!
That was so neat to see the bowl again. My mom and I used to go there to see shows in the 70's and it was fun. I heard the Doors played there. When I was younger. Some folks my parents knew saw them at the bowl. ❤️🎃
Awesome video! That was the day I was born.
I saw the Straycats there about 3 years ago. It was nice because it is an open venue.
I have been following your channel for a while now because I’m into all horror but this video, having myself played along with Robby Krieger and being their music an important part of my life, makes me tingle and fills me with good vibes. Thank you for all your vids but specially for this one. Greetings from Mexico City.
I'm watching this on febuary 16th 2024 and I live in Cape Cod I'm 64 and you did an awesome job thank you so much for your hard work all the time I love your videos and you are fantastic at it and I also think of what it must have been to be there that night at that night July 5th I thought that for many years I feel the same way you do thank you again for your great work work
This is manna for the Doors - fan like me man... Thank you, truly. 😍🥰
A little known fact, Jim Morrison's favorite group to chill out to at the time was "Pink Floyd!" The body of water was there to prevent crazed fans from rushing the stage! 😂
Thanks for this! I’m a big Doors fan, My local movie theater played the Hollywood Bowl Concert earlier this year! It was awesome seeing it on the big screen. I couldn’t imagine being there live in 68’ drunk and high on acid lol
Just WOW Jim was such an icon along with the hollywood bowl huge fan of the doors and grimmlife collective thank you michael and jess for alowing your fans to live vicarsely through your hard work of showing the things you both love about california and everything halloween may you always be blessed and protected
That was cool! I have that concert on VHS and had it converted to DVD. Not only did they have dinner with Mick Jagger and some of the other guys Mick Jagger was somewhere up front for the show. I've read that's one of the reasons Jim was nervous. Also another cool fact the leather pants Jim has on are now owned by Alice Cooper. Anyway another great video thanks for taking us on the adventure.
Those pants r on display at the hall of fame
I worked on Santa Barbara bowl back in 2007. we upgraded the stage to the concrete pavilion it is today. Every morning i would drink my coffee before work started. standing on the stage gazing out to the empty seats where countless artist from The Doors, Led zepplin, beasty boys, bob marley . To stand up acts like Robin Williams, Richard Pryor and so many more legends played. Was truly an amazing feeling, you could feel the energy all around you. they had a green room too and a wall where countless people have signed. we got to go check it out a few times. And see the countless signatures and relics on the walls bellow stage. A cool cat that ran the place, his name was "Hawaiian Joe" couldn,t have picked a cooler dude for the job. I hope he still works there and is doing good.
Saw a great concert there bk in 2006..
great video....thanks ! featured in "A Star is Born" 1937 original (and best).
I have been to many concerts here over my lifetime starting with The Beatles....it is a MAGICAL venue to see an artist....you both need to go!!
We finally did. We saw Danny Elfman for Halloween
@@grimmlifecollective Niiiiice!!
Hollywood bowl is a great venue for concerts ..
I had the biggest crush on Jim Morrison back in the late 1960's. He called himself "The Lizard King". I believe to this day that Jim Morrison was some kind of witch. I also thought that Jim Morrison had a rich melodic voice, and that some of his band members secretly enabled his drug habit out of sheer jealousy of him.
Joanne, I have always believed everything you said in your comment. Jim was magic himself, and I can see how he would have a lot of jealous people around him, including his own band menbers.
He, also, had some healing powers in his presence, in his voice, in his body movements. I cannot even imagine what it would have been back then to experience him and his performances live...cellular explosion 💥
Brilliant 👍🏻💯👍🏻😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saw the last 2 Van Halen shows in 2015, the last Black Sabbath LA show in 2016, the last Tom Petty show before he died in 2017 and Heart in 2019. The Bowl is amazing, you have to go if you get the chance.
I must say you have excellent taste in music, Sir.
Saw Petty's second to last concert there before he died. Many other great shows as well. Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in '99 stands out.
There's a photo in Jerry Hopkins lizard king book where Jim's playing Maracas near Ray and Jim's eyes are kinda wide and looking like he's checking a acid vision out in a joy ful way
Ok I gotta chime in I just went to the bowl September 2022 to see Loggins and Messina they played for 1 hour and then Kenny Loggins played for an additional two hours it was amazing they sound the same as they did back then but I’m a millennial so I can’t verify that - I was jealous at all the folks there obviously flower children and baby boomers there and older talking about how they say them in 1972 and talking about stories of yesteryear made me so jealous. however I think me and my bf were the youngest two at this concert it was packed! Best concert I ever been to. The bowl is a amazing venue and the staff was so pleasant. The number system is weird I gotta say we were confused before we sat but ultimately made sense when we got to where we needed to be in a super Kenny Loggins fan
Seen so many shows there, def. my favorite venue.
Another great grim life collective adventure love the doors🔥😎
Incredible.Tony
I remember the doors and their songs and the doors were ward and happy Halloween Michael and Jessica and I will always watch your videos and learning about the video
I was lucky to have a day out exploring The Hollywood Bowl. You can’t stand on the stage as it was netted off. but I have touched it. PS The Doors are the best band to ever come out of the States
I visited the bowl in 2003 while on a trip to LA. It was also closed and during the day, but I still got to see it.
I would LOVE to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl some day--- I have seen many pictures of big artists who have performed there in the day, from Bowie, the Who, Elton John & of course, the Doors... It always had a majestic charm that I've noticed from afar, viewing it from magazines like the Rolling Stone, Creem Magazine, and many others... Nice coverage as always GriMMs--- loved the trivia about taking acid before performing at the Hollywood Bowl... Lemme tell ya, i dropped a lot of acid in my day, and I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER drop it in front of thousands of people, let alone perform, as well (OUCH!!!!!).... that's a big recipe for a bad, bad trip...... OOf!.... So KooL you, and your dad have the Doors in common, as a good thing to kick around between you two ---- makes the years go by a lot smoother.... Thanks, again for taking us ALL along on another, 'Line-up the Shot' episode... all is LOVE, and Happy Halloween, GriMMs... :^)""""""""
Good Luck! I live here in S. CA and have only gone 3X and it's a horrible experience. The location might be good for acoustics but the sight lines are bad, the parking is beyond bad to the point they still have those old lots where they stack the cars and you CAN NOT leave until all the other cars blocking you are gone! If they ever have a true emergency...good luck getting out of that place in under 30 minutes. It's just an old venue, and it shows everywhere.
Thanks for this video. I had NO IDEA people were allowed in during off-times! Had I known that when my wife and I were in Hollywood earlier in the month...
Saw Brian Wilson there in 2016. Wow, what an amazing venue. My favorite ever!
You guys are great. Thank you for all your hard work and research. ❤️
I love the doors & I love Jim Morrison he’s one all time favorite all time singers when I was growing up I love riders on the storm light my fire Alabama Song whisky bar by the doors etc
I was watching German in Venice. He was at Hollywood Show, back to the Future and Adam's Fam. GUESS who he showed AND said your names! Yep you two!!!!
I love the Doors and this video was amazing. Michael, you're such a good storyteller. I have to comment on your Frankenstein/ Big Boy horror T-shirt... COOL!!💚🖤
My favorite band ❤️❤️
oh what an icon Jim
The architecture of the Hollywood Bowl is gorgeous and the acoustics are even better! Thanks for documenting this bro.
The Bowl really is magical. My frist show there was NIN and Soundgarden. Last show I saw there was a screening of Jaws with a live orchestra.
Super cool. Thanks for doing this. The doors are one of my all time favorite bands. I have the DVD of the doors at the Hollywood Bowl. 💀💀
Thank you for the video. Dream to get there❤❤❤
The doors played a show at our small town Illinois high school 2 weeks before playing Ed Sullivan in Sept 67. There is a single photo of Jim Morrison on stage in the yearbook. No caption, no names, just a single photo of him on stage.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! I've only ever seen a few pictures of the Hollywood Bowl, thanks for showing me around.
I used to be stationed in San Diego while in the Navy,but it just seemed I could never find the time to get north of San Diego and go see it
Micheal and Jessica nice to see you doing a vlog on the doors oh yes cool as heckings and happy Halloween to u both
Cool stuff. Love the Doors. Bought the record of that concert back in 1989. Doors fan since that.
Can't remember seeing the levitation pics before.
L💙ve The Levitation photos!💙💙
Thank you for sharing
Although I was too young to see the doors I did see keyboardist Ray Manzarek twice: Once playing onstage with the L.A. punk band X and again playing with Echo and the Bunnymen. X did a cover the door's "soul kitchen". And as I'm sure you know Echo and the Bunnymen did a cover of "people are strange" that was featured on the Lost Boys soundtrack. I just saw X with the psychedelic furs at the CZcams theater and l am going to see Echo and the Bunnymen at the theater at the Ace Hotel this Saturday. l am super stoked!
