In 1981, I was driving down Fountain Blvd in West Hollywood, I was listening to Riders on the Storm. I was at a stop sign. As I turn up the Radio and enjoy the sounds, I look into the car next to me and it was Robby Krieger. He just smiled. He knew that song was a classic.
lucky you!!!!
Wow! Glad he knows people are still listening
Such a cool coincidence!
Yea, I got trapped in a elevator with him before a DC21 show!
@@kerrykoeppen7678nice! Was it at a hotel before the show or something?
You Gotta love and miss Ray Manzarek. He was so good at speaking and narrating .; This guy literally could remember and take you back to every detail the band experienced,. LOVE YOU RAY R.I.P.
His version of it, anyway.
He was the band. Morrison was just the very pretty front man.
a bit too cosmic at times
You should read his book, LIGHT MY FIRE. It's not in front of me at the moment but I think he wrote it around 1999 - and talk about a detailed memory!
I live in Los Angeles and ran into Ray at a DVD store on Pico called Laser Blazer back in the early 2000s. I would go there every Tuesday to load up on new releases. I saw someone with their back to me with an armful of DVDs that matched mine and made some offhanded comment that I can't exactly remember. He turned around and we started talking about film and the whole time I was like (to myself) "Oh my God, I'm talking to a legend." I finally worked up the nerve after about 10 minutes or so and said, "I'm a big fan of your music." He was very gracious and we continued to talk about film and "Jimbo" and Ray's refusal to watch the movie The Doors by Oliver Stone because he felt like it didn't honor the memory of Jim. We even talked about when he knew it was over, when the spirit had left Jim. Anyway, his wife Dorothy finally walked up because she was ready to go and he introduced her and they left. I felt nothing but a brotherly love coming from Ray about Jim. Made me a little sad because I had lost a brother as well. Sweet guy.
They were an unlikely rock band; a classical trained pianist, a flamenco guitarist, a jazz drummer, and a singer obsessed with Romantic Poetry.
ray is just the happiest and confident musician ever without being arrogant in the slightest. You have to love how he just loves the music and energises with enthusiasm while he plays and remembers and relives.
Let's face it. These guys were just geniuses.
Dolores M Indeed they were , they are part of that special group in those days who pioneered a following of music that will forever be timeless.
JD robby was also one of the greatest lyricists in the band. He wrote the majority of the doors hits. The whole band is god like. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Long live the doors.
who do you think you are to think you can discern a genius from an ordinary man
@@BarjoLaGouache Who do you think you are that you cannot discern a genius from an ordinary person?
manzarek playing and explaining riders on the storm is amazing
I'm 16 years old, magic came into my life with this album.
What these four guys meant for so many is impossible to fully express. They took you on a trip with them and your world was changed forever. This truly American band changed the possibility of what music could be by tearing down the barriers to expression and synthesizing all the craziness of the 60's in a way few groups ever came as close to doing. The music is as alive today as it was then. Thanks for it all. You are still amazing!
✔️
I met him and shook his hand after his show in st. Louis around 2000. He was so nice and rocked the show.
The doors’ don’t sound like American bands. American bands sounded country Grateful Dead Jefferson airplane, it’s good thing big brother didn’t really care for Janis she dressed like their mother from Texas. American band wore overalls in 60s. (America love it or leave it). Haha..The Doors sound more english.
I got couple AKAs, 25 nine millimeter’s, ground to airs,
Cabin in the woods literally impenentrable. With enough supplies to outlast 30/year stand off
I saw Ray Manzarek play in my little mountain town of Paradise, California in February 2012. What an extraordinary man and musician. I feel so blessed to have met him.
Riders is pure poetry. Dark, dramatic, melodic, ambient poetry. That song is genius man.
The thing I liked the most about the doors at the time was how they pushed the bounds of conventional thinking and implored us to Break On Through To The Other Side. This was an important message in a time of stifling conformity and regimentation. In a way, the Good Shaman sacrificed himself for his art.
When the four got together, they created magic.
D. J. Your exactly right. Very few that make real actual magic, Led Zeppelin’s another that comes to mind off the top of my head.
Words can't describe how I love this band. Thanks for everything: RIP Ray and Jim.
One of the BEST rock albums of all time. The Doors were such an amazing band.
You're god damn right, as Jim said - "When others demand that we become the people they want us to be, they force us to destroy the person we really are. ... The most loving parents and relatives commit this murder with smiles on their faces."
"When others demand that we become the people they want us to be, they force us to destroy the person we really are" is so true. Read"The four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. A great read...
My parents were pretty good about this.
Greatest American rock band - ever!
Ray was so filled with positive energy as usual. It saddens me to the core that he was taken away from us by that horrible disease only a year later. May he and Jim rest in peace.
John Densmore KNEW and loved Jim the most. Ray worshiped him and Robby just played along PERFECTLY. Densmore was Jim's best friend because he cared enough to both get pissed at Jim, trip with him but also NEVER SOLD OUT. The other two were more typical, along for the ride and willing to sell out for money. They called John a 'commie' but he was right on and correct!. I see him as the most underrated member, as talented and NECESSARY as they ALL were to the four piece Doors!
It's obvious to me that Ray was the biggest fan of Jim in the band,
+FIERO871 For sure. Ray seems like the biggest fan of everything & everyone, though - such a happy, chilled out dude
+FIERO871 .... Grace Slick related that Jim passed out on a trip and her band could not believe it, but the music went on and on and then the vocals..... done by Ray Manzarek! \the show went on. \ thanks Grace.
+signoguns Lol where did you get this information
Bollocks.
signoguns Sounds like something Val Kilmer would do.
Timeless. Those 4 guys created magic for 5-6 years that'll last generations. Life times.
Man, that is crazy to think...all that magic created in such a short time, and thankfully still accessible to be enjoyed by all.
I remember the first time I heard the song. I was twelve, riding my bicycle delivering news papers. I pull up to a porch and the radio was on inside. I couldn't move. It was a hot summer day and the song made time stand still some how. Still does.
Riders on the Storm is such a haunting and timeless masterpiece. And, LA Woman is such a cool party song or a great song to listen to while driving down the highway. :)
I'll tell you what, one of the best things to do in LA is get a convertible, put the top down on a 75 degree evening, drive down the 10 towards Santa Monica with the wind in your hair and the sun setting while touching the Pacific, and have LA Woman playing on the stereo. When I lived out there, I did that for a lot of friends and family who visited. And they said the same thing - it's magical. It's what that song does to you almost at a primal level and you feel LA Woman at a whole new level.
These guys were magical, all four of them together we're just out of this world. One of the greatest bands ever.
I love Ray's piano playing to Riders of the Storm. He's a musical genius.
Robbie, Ray, Jim, and John were an amazing combination of talent which came together at the right time. It was the perfect storm of mysticism, blues, jazz, classical, and poetry.
Dont forget sex!
One of my personal favourites. So dark, just takes your mind on a trip. Every time I hear the intro I get chills.
LA Woman and Roadhouse Blues are songs like no other. And Morrison's lyric are dynamic. Great video, thanks for posting....
Roadhouse blues on an American prayer is my favorite live version
Timeless music, sounds as if it were recorded yesterday
they probably never thought these songs would stay on the radio for..... forever!!!
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on CZcams....I finally found it after 11 years....I really felt this...
Whatever they paid the bass player on "LA Woman" (the title song), it wasn't enough. To execute that repetitive and complex riff for that long takes real virtuosity and stamina. That would've made clam chowder out of any other bass player's left hand. WHAT A KICK-ASS TUNE!!
I really love the way that ray explains how riders on the storm was made
My favorite band till the day I die.
Oh man...I'm so glad I found this...honestly, one of my goals was to meet the remaining Doors(Jim had died two years before I was born) so with Ray dying just broke my heart..and just seeing this stuff, and listening to Ray, you could tell how REAL he was..how excited he would get talking about the past and how things came about...RIP Ray..
I'm out of words.. I mean, jim has been dead for years and still, they never have forgotten him or how to play the song. afterall, it was thier lives this band. it's beautiful. the doors music was something out of this world I say. it gets to you, to your mind.. a sense of relaxation. I love it. jim was right in all this quotes.. brilliant, all of them
The Doors are the greatest band of all time. RIP geniuses Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek.
... and John and Robbie.
John and Robbie are still alive!
Cant argue with that
Ray is such a great storyteller. Brilliant musician, too.
The insight on this is priceless, Legends telling their stories of creativity...Awesome!
One of my favourite albums of all time. It's raw energy never wanes. Classic!
they were all talented beyond their time and all just really mesh together...best band ever...
One of my biggest influences in music. I always wanted to sing just like Jim. Love their influences and their pureity! There was just nothing like them....Blues...Jazz...and Rock all rolled into one. I am sure they all told them...you will never get this stuff recorded....but you know the rest! I salute you all....Doors!!!!!
Love your comment.
Even thought I'm only 27, I can feel the doors and particularly this album just like that. Another proof this band is timeless.
@@pedromlopes12 They are indeed timeless. Few bands can reach that level. Jim died in 1971. That was a long time ago, but we're still digging it over 50 years later. That tells us something.
Ray is SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray Manzarek was not only a good musician, but also a fantastic father-figure/teacher... RIP Ray - Jim: we keep loving the Doors music till eternity!
The Door are the best American band that ever was. They were original and sounded unique unto themselves. They blended other forms of music to create something new. That and with Jim's poetry they will forever be etched upon time. It's the same as it was in their heyday. When you listen to them as a new listener they reach out and touch your soul. Unless your dead.
Ray’s playing is so beautiful, I can’t even put it into words
Man!! What an amazing band!! what a story, plagued of magic, romanticism, drama, talent, beauty. This is not only a rock and roll band, The Doors depicts the passion, the graciousness, the perversity, love, life and death of the human race... kind of an occidental tragedy, a legend, and a sublime poem.
Best band ever!!! I love them madly.
The astounding change from the shy jean clad singer to the super rock star is amazing. Like 2 different people!
Oooh man the loose way Ray plays Riders on the Storm is sheer brilliance....can you imagine how they'd perform Riders on the Storm now if they were all around? I think my head would explode!
Never realized John used brushes on LA Woman, cool sounds from my favorite drummer.
Maestro, de maestros.... Todo un señor en la batería...
The doors really introduced me to this genre of music and because of it I also became a fan of the blues jazz soul rock n roll …really opened up my heart mind and soul ✌🏼🤘☮️
this is why I love youtube!
So Good! Can only imagine if they had made another alb or two how great it would of been . Rest peace Jimbo!
how great it was that they did this while Ray was still alive ... simply great
Greatest band ever existed and they were so Good together. Their work lives forever..
best band ever
Thank you so much for sharing!
🙏 ❤ 🌹 Jim & Ray 🌹 ❤ 🙏
LA Woman is perhaps the best record the group had ever record. A masterpiece in contemporary music. The music sounds as good today as it did 40 yrs ago.
The Best every man
... 50. 😅
The king of drums The Doors forever
What a feeling it must be to come up with such an iconic and recognizable keyboard piece like Riders On the Storm. So much great creativity in The Doors.
Riders on the Storm ... hauntingly, mesmerizingly lovely Impressionism ... keyboard pointillism.
R.I.P Ray & Jim
The diamond will live on keep rockin' Robbie & John
Thanks for this vid !!
Awesome...wonderfull to see...tx for putting it out there.
Well I just got into town about an hour ago, took a look around me which way the wind blow. LA Woman Sunday afternoon. Drive through your suburbs, into your blues...What a Band, what a poet, what a Rock Star!
By far, my most favorite album from the Doors. Great sounds, lyrics and feel. Nice insight to how things just simply happen in a studio. Usually the simplest of arrangements turn out to be the best. Rest in peace Ray Manzarek and of course, Jim.
you watch the segment of Ray playing Riders and you can just see the movie running in his head of that recording session. So cool! ... he just seems to recreate the whole development of the song from the studio and you can watch it in his face as the movie in his mind rolls on.
Glad to see John talking about and showing his technique ..Very cool..
stunning.... Mr. Mojo trippin, slippin... into the storm, we ride, ride on ...Jim, miss u
These guys were real musicians🎶who can explain their music.🎯
I never get tired of watching this. The Doors - pure genius. RIP Ray and Jim. Doors forever!
Wish they had the chance to play these song live.
John is such an underrated drummer!
So much to love in Ray.
A forever iconic band, influencers of others, timeless, poetic and missed.
They still seem so passionate about their songs and music, even after so many years. What a great band, i somehow miss them and yet i wasn't even born when they were around. They are so much better than the commercial crap we have nowadays.
Thanks for the music,and the memories...Rip Ray and Jim..... Long live MOJO
Ray Manzreck such a great keybaord player
Love Densmore's whole vibe, probably hasn't changed a bit since first picking up the drums.
RAY MANZAREK WHAT A KING.
Densmore was the Doors's secret weapon.
Aged well, too. As did Krieger, and Ray, that never was an issue.
Also making a good defend of the role of Soft Parade, and those Billboards as bookends of their carreer, marking the entry of Laurel Canyon ... nice
Well said 100% insightful!
The best of all-time...
Musical geniuses great band would loved to have been the same age of them back in the day and lived through the live shows
Long live the doors
that Rhodes sound, bliss.
Best 🇺🇸 band, period
RIP Ray and Jim
Damn...! This is GOLD!!!
I'm freaki'n out watching this. Just pure GOLD (in bold).
RIP RAY, you and Jim are together again, such a most beautiful song. Great seeing this. Sad tho too.
ray manzarek was cool but seems like he was always haunted by jims passing,couldnt let it go...prob jims best friend even if he didnt know it
I'm thinking he could have been a sacrifice what they're talking about now a days !
Not like doucebag densmore...Let it go john.
Ray was the biggest Morrison fan of all of us!.....
June , 1971 , I left N.J. in my 1968 Dodge Charger heading to Vallejo , CA to visit my uncle Clair. I wondered why ? Just about every radio station as I drove west played Doors songs. I had no idea why ? Somewhere along the trip I remember hearing the late Jim Morrison. Later that summer , I returned home and heard the sad news from a few friends regarding his death , later that same year we got kicked in the balls again when Duane Allman died.
38:50 from around here, especially, Jerry's Scheff's bass is superb
Thanks for this great gem of a diamond performance. Nuff said.
That 🎶 song….magical ♥️
Man, this is the good stuff!
wow, hard not to dig this. sure glad someone stepped up and made this document .
There is magic in this music.
Great band, excellent album, rest in peace Ray n Jim.
Long live Ray! Long live Jim.
I just watched it on Smithsonian Channel tonight, didn't know there were extras from it thanks for posting!
these guys showed the doors of life. Jim has all the keys
Thank you DOORS for the music
watching from Australia
