Your ears still probably hear him. I tune into his shows once in a while. This is a man with a lot of connections in high places, more than likely a Freemason. He talked a lot about faking his death years leading up to his alleged death. If you look into all events surrounding said incident you’ll be shocked. We didn’t find out until years after his death that his father, Stephen M. was the rear admiral on the ship that was responsible for the Gulf of Tonkin false flag operation that in part lead to the Vietnam War. His father was at the decommissioning of the ship, coincidently it happened to be the same day that Him died. All I can say is there are no coincidences in life. Yes both events coincided.
People talk about Jim being a fuckup or a druggie, but they forget that dude still showed up to work enough times and obviously still put in a ton of effort to become massively successful. It’s foolish to define Jim by his bad habits…

@@tinfoilhatter Incorrect . Jim Morrison had never planned nor tried previously to be a singer . He had never tried in any way to be polished nor practiced at music. His entire life had been as a writer and he had hoped to become involved in film making as a Director . He d gone to Film School at UCLA , graduating with his Master's Degree . His classmates had been Francis Ford Coppola , Steven Spielberg , Oliver Stone and others..... Oliver Stone while on Acid in Viet Nam had believed himself to be Jim Morrison , the Rock Star later on after Jim had died (Murderd)...... This is a simple fact.. I can tell you what happens if you ever wish . But first , if you TRUELY wish to understand Jim s music and writings then you'll have to understand a thing called ; Journey of the Hero .or The Hero s Journey . This Jim believed he was living . On YT , type, Jim Morriso, the Hero s Journey and also Weird Scenes inside the Gold Mine Watch these lectures by the professor . He is spot on and then if you wish , read or audiobook Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell . These are very important if you're trying to understand what Morrison was trying to do The Birth of Tragedy By Frederick Nietzsche is also important Check it out on YT on audio book. So much easier in that reading Nietzsche is not an easy assignment. Good luck and expand your brain Regards
The way that Manzarek tells the story of Morrison and himself meeting for the two times on Venice Beach is just such incredible history, a few moments in time giving way to what we have today, the poetic vision set in front of an incredible bed of beautiful music. The way in which Ray instantly outlined for Jim how the future was to unfold. Ray was like a soothsayer, and Jim to become the messenger, the voice. Kismet is a real thing...man. FAR OUT.
Ray was so talented it was amazing how he actually played 2 instruments in one. How can ones brain play bass and actually crush the keyboard at the same time, truly amazing, then Robbie with the slide, this band was so far ahead of its time, just to actually listen is a trip!

My inspiration for putting pen to paper and trying poetry, rid my head of darkness , torment and torture , love, drugs and romance. Thank you Jim Morrison for all you did and all you do forevermore . peace and love .
Can't believe people even consider matching Mick Jagger to Jim Morrision....there's no comparison whatsoever. Mick looks like a worn out rag surviving....at least Jim will be forever young in our hearts. Jim rules....no question.
It sounded like the recording was skipping at points. Was that something with this recording, or was it something with my computer? That said, I love the Doors, and grew up listening to them back in 67'',68', and ever since. Over the last couple of months, I have come back around to digging the Doors again. Not that I ever stopped digging them, it just seems like the music I really love from those days comes around, and goes around in cycles. So, here I am again, sitting before the Master poet, like a child being inspired, and finding myself in awe of this person-Band, and musical journey! Everyone as the Doors suggested in their tune-"Break on through to the other side,!!" because this side can be a real drag at times, and all of us need to take a journey inward, or if you prefer, take a journey to Paris! Peace........
James Douglas Morrison.... Look at the legacy the Doors left us with their music which doesn't let describe it self. Some call it Blues, others call it Rock but no one actually knows. I think when they had atleast some knowledge backthen, they probably could have saved the life of Jim Morrison. Back then most people said: oh, it is Jim, he drinks to much! in stead of trying to help him stop his drug and alcohol abuse. With that they might have saved the Doors, and they probably would have been there for a dozen years more. The Doors probably bigger then the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Elvis Presley together. If some came with a change in music, the Doors did. It is such a shame Jim Morrison passed away aged 27. Master poet, master artist.
If their were "EVER" 4 dudes meant to come together in a band/recording studio it was these 4 magicians! Its still hard to comprehend theres NO bass guitar in their live gigs or on most of their LP,s!!! The music has such great "bottom" with Ray,s magical left-handed bass runs! Thanks for the music doors,..RIP Ray N Jim
All their studio recordings utilized studio musicians playing bass guitar. IMO, it's a much classier sound than that keyboard bass contraption. Not that Ray wasn't an awesome keyboardist, of course...
Jim was on a different plane than most of us..most geniuses are...The Doors changed society...helped break away The Generatin Gap..(ugh)...and gave relief to our guys in Vietnam
this is an awesome documentary on the life of Jim Morrison. I have the utmost respect for his writing and poetry as well as his tribute to The doors. he was an awesome creative soul and should be remembered as one. he got sidetracked into a little bit of alcohol and drugs but it happens and especially to creative people sometimes they accidentally get caught up in this.
I first heard this on KLOS 95.5 in Los Angeles when I was just a kid in elementary school in the early 80's. I recorded it on cassette and lost the tapes years ago. Thanks for posting this. It brought back so many memories. I still have the book "An Hour For Magic".
Went to Pere La Chaise and suddenly the emotion came pouring up within me being near Jim....so moving. Was glad I went to see him....he's kind of near the entrance, not far. RIP ole buddy.
i went in September last year. i was there alone at 8:30am. I listen to a couple of Doors songs on my headphones and had my own little concert. the cemetery is absolutely haunting early in the morning.
Take a journey to the bright midnight….. I went to his grave in the winter of 1971. A few dead flowers and lots of graffiti. One empty coke bottle seemed strangely at home. RIP
I went in January 2019. I was in Paris for my older sister’s funeral. I had a few days to walk around and decided to go to Père Lachaise (so many times in Paris and had never gone.) Anyway, it was grey and rainy and cold. I got there late and walked around, and finally found his grave. Just as I found it, the clouds broke open and the sun burst through. Everything glistened from the rain. Magical. I’ll never forget that moment.
One of the best on jim and the doors I’ve ever seen thanks life long fan .since I was around 11 in 1971 I’m 61 now .rip jim .but your words will stay with us a very long time .you got your wish .
Jim Morrison is a poetic singer, is manly mystify voice is haunting . His music fits his voice perfectly .it resonates . The Doors The poet band. A one of kind band. Jim Morrison is the foundation of the band, without the foundation , everything falls apart, Ray is absolutely right
I’m only 20 minutes in and it’s like the book No One Here Gets Out Alive which I read in one sitting. I could listen to this from beginning to end right now.
I started listening to the Doors. When I was a young boy. Living in the NYC area.Where rock was king. I am 64 now. Still listen to their outstanding music!
I'll never forget the moment I first heard about the Doors. I was in 8th grade and getting into the rock music scene. My special ed teacher (I'm deaf) caught on and suggested I try some bands she's listened to for decades. It wasn't "cool" to borrow CDs from teachers, but who cares? She loaned me their Greatest Hits collection with Jim's face on the cover. I still remember seeing that prominent square jaw above his beady necklace. And those curly locks. And Jim's piercing eyes. I got the impression he was a spiritual leader of a hippie rock band. Truth is, Jim was anything but a leader. If you watch his interviews, he was always somewhere else mentally. I didn't fall in love with the Doors right away because I didn't give them a chance. 15 years later, I finally did. Now that I look back, I have to laugh. It's almost like my teacher *knew* I would get into these guys. Jim reminds me of myself. I feel like I exist in an entirely different realm and can only express it with words. Thank you Ms. Nisbet for introducing me to the Doors. You helped me find and understand myself.
Jim Morrison was one of those extreme few people who were able to turn poetic talent, into music and song. Have always been a fan of the Doors since late 60's. When I had read about Jim's death in July 1971, it floored me . . . but did not surprise me.
Why were you NOT surprised? Jim didn't die in Paris. The "kid" did. The Rockstar was given a Rockstar death ending. The contract was fulfilled. Jim shed his skin , and walked on down the hall. There's probably been thousands of people who have spoken, seen, sat by,etc Jim since and never knew.
@@MrSwitchblade327 yup, he filled his obligations and just like Kurt did his part. Do you know the significance of a leading influence just dying and it overwhelming damage it does to a teenagers brain. It opens you up to more destruction
From the day I first heard the Doors my Brain was changed forever I entered another world suddenly everything around me just stopped nothing mattered anymore
Jim Morrison is my hero. I adore him so much. He was more a poet than a singer. HE WAS A LEGEND. He dies too soon, he would be a Hero in our times. He was a rebell in these years, he was a speaker, a HERO.
I like to think he would have aged with grace and dignity…not that if he were around today, he would be running around still in tight pants with long hair, like Steve Tyler and other aged rock stars.
The Doors opened my eyes. Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger & John Densmore... Thank you isn't even close to what I owe you guys. RIP Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek. Thanks for the upload.
Very well done, includes many unfamiliar photographs and poetry bits. When I visit the Jim Morrison fan groups, I discover over and over again that Jim is perceived as a hero who partied nonstop, and whose goal was to get his kicks today. Not so; he was a serious and accomplished artist. He wrote extraordinary songs, and the quality of his lyrics are unsurpassed. He was a hard working poet, whose work was dismissed as sophomoric self-indulgence for too many years, when in fact it was beautiful and exceptional. A fine tribute..
My first four albums were: Born On the Bayou- Creedence Clearwater Santana I Rubbersoul- the Beatles The Doors 🚪 What a beginning to listen to music at 13 years old (!) Those were the days!
Ray is one of the best raconteurs I've ever heard. I can listen to him talk about anything. His background stories about how certain songs came together are poetry in themselves. Oh... and not a bad keyboardist.
If Ray could have lived long enough to have his own podcast!!! Very unique phrasing coupled with that LA rock voice. He was every bit as important to the Doors as Morrison.. and Jim knew that from the day they met.
@@TheFunkybert You and Me, brother.Over the decades as we heard m,ore bootlegs and live recordings, I gained tremendous respect for John and Robbie and their ability to back Jim doing so much spoken word, Hard to fill and follow. But it seemed like Ray just had a special intuition of where to9 go and what to do. One undeniable fact: each one of those guys needed the other three.
I've watched this before in it's entirety, so last night I put it on the big screen with the volume off and cranked up my old school stereo playing a stack Doors CD's. It was great!
Yes my best friend hung out with him and wrote songs. He shared stories about Jim and his red corvette. Too much alcohol and the pace was too fast. Now they are all deceased . I am left with vivid memories of those times in this country, and the vibe was cosmic. The music couldn’t have been better, each group had a distinctive signature sound. Oh well fond memories.
He never had a red corvette. He a blue mustang Shelby GT Cobra which he named the blue lady. Your friend wrote songs with Jim Morrison? Sure he did . Let me guess he helped Jim write Doors lyrics but didn't want any credit which is why we never heard of him ..The red corvette is the dead giveaway that your friend is full of shit .
The parallels between Jim Morrison and Jack Kerouac and their reluctant acceptance of (well deserved) fame are undeniable. Both were incredible wordsmiths…both were essentially introverted with a personal vision of being poets, yet thrust upon a voracious and expectant audience while being unable to want or deal with such an enormous spotlight. I find both their stories very sad 😢

This is a great documentary retrospective on the Doors and Jim Morrison’s entire career. An Insightful and interesting look at what is probably America’s best band!
He struck me as a great poet/writer among the greats (Ferlangette, TS Elliot, Kafka....) from the first time I heard him about age12......shy and afraid of many things; Light My Fire turned on the Dancer in me, fully grasping my inner tribal..... A dangling fuse of a trance is a close metaphor.
I was 11 years old 1967 praying for the soldiers to come home and the war to stop the 1968 the death of Robert f Kennedy is this changed my heart forever for America I I was 11 years old 1969 my cousin's I instantly was drawn to Jim Morrison's poetry and magic that came out of the albums when he sang and the band played being 11 years old Jim Morrison change my path in life for the better I was a shy timid girl I did not drink I did not do drugs and it stayed like that for all my life poetry was magic and my high.
While in Paris,after L.A WOMAN album hit the stores,Jim called Densmore asked how was the album selling,JIM was excited and said he wanted to tour to support the album and sing those songs live,he was gona come back
The doors was without a doubt a rock group that there presentation as erotica politicians was in no way shape or for bull shit. Thank you morrison for shaping my mind, you were sent to making us believe and know that society in a whole streams in one big mind fuck bouncin bob
This is an incredible documentary because you can tell that it was produced by music people in the business. This was not made by some greaser producer at CBS trying to make a name for himself.
I think the three musicians played very well together and Morrison seems to have created the theatricality of what a front man was and how immaculate he seemed. I love how masculine, intelligent, but free spirited the guy was, he lived through his own perception of life and didn’t seem to fit in with the rest
Yeah fucked up because I really believed Oliver Stone's movie which is mostly fiction, so Jim was portrayed like a mad man.i did hang out with Robby Krieger and what a sweet man.
@@ThePVTProductions yea.. I actually met Oliver Stone briefly in LA for his doors movie pre-release party in a Club at the corner of Sunset Blvd and he was a nasty, mean SOAB! Ppl were clearly scared of him and his dark rathe! He was definitely pissed about some of the chaos going on. Yea.. not a great first impression.. I ran away, like most of us guests did. Very Weird 😳
Jim Morrison hated being frontman and was incredibly shy during the whiskey go go performances early in their careers as a stand alone band ...it was an eureka moment for Jim when he saw Van Morrison perform, he befriended and imitated Vans stage theathrics (with Vans blessings) and thus the Lizard Kings stage presence was born ...this was when Pam and he were living in Laurel Canyon and he wrote 'people are strange' in one afternoon jjust up the rd from Cass Elliots house at a vista of Downtown LA off Lookout Mountain View
I actually recorded this radio special when I lived in Portland, Oregon. Still have it. It was Labor Day weekend, 1982. Great program. Thx for the upload........
In 1965 it was always Jim Morrison of The Doors that made from 1965 67 and 69 Morrison the doors what they were legendary the sound of his music was perfect it was all psychedelic flower power i it was the 1960s Jim Morrison will be remembered forever from the Doors🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
I was the only 5 year old i know of who begged his mother to play doors records when I was growing up in the 80s. My parent's friends couldn't believe a little kid was so interested in the band that they grew up with.
My eyes saw him (1970 Boston), my ears heard him, my bones shook with the white tribe's Densmore summons to ceremony; and my hand shook Ray Manzarek's years later. Decades since, I still blow out the windows every day with what they left us. The music's never over.
Where did you see him? Was it at a show? Formal or informal. (Proper Bostonian here) ;)

I'd hope not if you knew the real truth as to how Jim was
Murders and the way he was bettayed and thrown under the Bus by that CU n t ??....
Sorry about the Language , but TRUELY that's what she was .
She sold him down the river without a doubt .
@@tinfoilhatter
Incorrect .
Jim Morrison had never planned nor tried previously to be a singer .
He had never tried in any way to be polished
nor practiced at music.
His entire life had been as a writer and he had hoped to become involved in film making as a Director .
He d gone to Film School at UCLA , graduating with his Master's Degree .
His classmates had been Francis Ford Coppola , Steven Spielberg , Oliver Stone and others.....
Oliver Stone while on Acid in Viet Nam had believed himself to be Jim Morrison , the Rock Star later on after Jim had died (Murderd)......
This is a simple fact..
I can tell you what happens if you ever wish .
But first , if you TRUELY wish to understand Jim s music and writings then you'll have to understand a thing called ;
Journey of the Hero .or
The Hero s Journey .
This Jim believed he was living .
On YT , type, Jim Morriso, the Hero s Journey and also
Weird Scenes inside the Gold Mine
Watch these lectures by the professor .
He is spot on and then if you wish , read or audiobook
Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell .
These are very important if you're trying to understand what Morrison was trying to do
The Birth of Tragedy
By Frederick Nietzsche
is also important
Check it out on YT on audio book.
So much easier in that reading Nietzsche is not an easy assignment.
Good luck and expand your brain

I literally grew up listening to The Doors. Listening to the music now makes scenes from my childhood appear in my mind.
Me too
100%. The Doors are timeless which IMO is the sign of true art.
Addiction where you can have everything and nothing
I recall the....clothes; i was little , no kid was in designer then; WE WERE THE ...DESIGNS...lol
I’m in your childhood faze rn
The way that Manzarek tells the story of Morrison and himself meeting for the two times on Venice Beach is just such incredible history, a few moments in time giving way to what we have today, the poetic vision set in front of an incredible bed of beautiful music. The way in which Ray instantly outlined for Jim how the future was to unfold. Ray was like a soothsayer, and Jim to become the messenger, the voice. Kismet is a real thing...man. FAR OUT.
Very nice piece of writing ✌🏻
🦎 thank you, much peace and love.
Ray was so talented it was amazing how he actually played 2 instruments in one. How can ones brain play bass and actually crush the keyboard at the same time, truly amazing, then Robbie with the slide, this band was so far ahead of its time, just to actually listen is a trip!
Morrison was absolutely gorgeous
so are you,but do you dance in all of your gloriousness,or do you hide your elegance from the boys of summer.
Why do you think so?
That's what matters. Something that one is born with.

His mind was more gorgeous!
My inspiration for putting pen to paper and trying poetry, rid my head of darkness , torment and torture , love, drugs and romance. Thank you Jim Morrison for all you did and all you do forevermore . peace and love .
Same with me! How did ur poetry come out?💕
@@intoxicatingmooneyes9150
just go play in traffic you fuck up
Can't believe people even consider matching Mick Jagger to Jim Morrision....there's no comparison whatsoever. Mick looks like a worn out rag surviving....at least Jim will be forever young in our hearts. Jim rules....no question.
No comparison to Elvis Jim rules Elvis is not even close..Jim ❤
Cecilia Wells I concur 👍
Cecilia Wells true dat but Sinatra > Jim and Elvis
Hooper45 Jim was the Psychedelic Sinatra. They’re in two different worlds
Lmao
What an animal 🦁
Fierce and alive with passion. Blood pulsing through him like electricity among a night storm.
Jim 4ever. Great poetry.
I love this dude , spent many days just listening and feeling this dude , a straight gift from God .
We are all a straight gift from God.
he did it alone with a band.
why not the rest of us. for better this world ?
Sometimes it’s difficult to see something that’s right before your eyes love that quote
It's hard to believe he didn't think he could sing, and in the beginning even suggested they find a singer!
I recorded this program over three days in 1983...on cassette tapes! Still have them, including the local radio commercials. An awesome program.
It sounded like the recording was skipping at points. Was that something with this recording, or was it something with my computer? That said, I love the Doors, and grew up listening to them back in 67'',68', and ever since. Over the last couple of months, I have come back around to digging the Doors again. Not that I ever stopped digging them, it just seems like the music I really love from those days comes around, and goes around in cycles. So, here I am again, sitting before the Master poet, like a child being inspired, and finding myself in awe of this person-Band, and musical journey! Everyone as the Doors suggested in their tune-"Break on through to the other side,!!" because this side can be a real drag at times, and all of us need to take a journey inward, or if you prefer, take a journey to Paris! Peace........
no, the recording was mint at the time. I have one I recorded on tape back then off the local fm channel. no skips.
I have the complete original box set for this and there are no skips or anything in the original vinyl.
I've heard the original vinyl can sell for up to $400. Good for you.
I got it for about $50 at a record store about 20 years ago. Got really lucky.
Jim Morrison- An American Poet
Thank you for everything. You are the one who first posessed my hand and helped me become a writer. I celebrate you.
James Douglas Morrison....
Look at the legacy the Doors left us with their music which doesn't let describe it self. Some call it Blues, others call it Rock but no one actually knows.
I think when they had atleast some knowledge backthen, they probably could have saved the life of Jim Morrison. Back then most people said: oh, it is Jim, he drinks to much! in stead of trying to help him stop his drug and alcohol abuse. With that they might have saved the Doors, and they probably would have been there for a dozen years more.
The Doors probably bigger then the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Elvis Presley together. If some came with a change in music, the Doors did.
It is such a shame Jim Morrison passed away aged 27. Master poet, master artist.
Handsome man and talented. Beautiful soul. Amazing person. Wish you was here Jim. R.I.P. ❤
If their were "EVER" 4 dudes meant to come together in a band/recording studio it was these 4 magicians! Its still hard to comprehend theres NO bass guitar in their live gigs or on most of their LP,s!!! The music has such great "bottom" with Ray,s magical left-handed bass runs! Thanks for the music doors,..RIP Ray N Jim
Ray! what can you say; your the best.
All their studio recordings utilized studio musicians playing bass guitar. IMO, it's a much classier sound than that keyboard bass contraption. Not that Ray wasn't an awesome keyboardist, of course...
After the 1st lp yes
Plus Jim's deep voice gave depth to every song.
there's bass on half the debut album tracks .. and bass on every other album on every track
Jim was on a different plane than most of us..most geniuses are...The Doors changed society...helped break away The Generatin Gap..(ugh)...and gave relief to our guys in Vietnam
GODDAMN I LOVE THE DOORS.
Back 3 Years Later!!!! Always be back!
Lol . No one would have guessed
I was very little when he died. I listen to his music. It will live forever.
I agree, no band was better. Absolutely amazing!
ed remillard they were the best!!!!!
It’s 2023 and the music still sounds fresh does not sound like old 60’s music.
this is an awesome documentary on the life of Jim Morrison. I have the utmost respect for his writing and poetry as well as his tribute to The doors. he was an awesome creative soul and should be remembered as one. he got sidetracked into a little bit of alcohol and drugs but it happens and especially to creative people sometimes they accidentally get caught up in this.
He was a creater and a demonstrater. He was not afraid to show himself in any form😊
The Absolutely live album was a masterpiece, nothing can touch it, ❤
Great tribute to to a poet.
I first heard this on KLOS 95.5 in Los Angeles when I was just a kid in elementary school in the early 80's. I recorded it on cassette and lost the tapes years ago. Thanks for posting this. It brought back so many memories. I still have the book "An Hour For Magic".
I have the book. Never heard or knew about this special.
Went to Pere La Chaise and suddenly the emotion came pouring up within me being near Jim....so moving. Was glad I went to see him....he's kind of near the entrance, not far. RIP ole buddy.
i went in September last year. i was there alone at 8:30am. I listen to a couple of Doors songs on my headphones and had my own little concert. the cemetery is absolutely haunting early in the morning.
Cool
Jim is like a a god 2 me. Iv got the doors. Tattooed. On my stomache
Take a journey to the bright midnight…..
I went to his grave in the winter of 1971.
A few dead flowers and lots of graffiti.
One empty coke bottle seemed strangely at home.
RIP
I went in January 2019. I was in Paris for my older sister’s funeral. I had a few days to walk around and decided to go to Père Lachaise (so many times in Paris and had never gone.) Anyway, it was grey and rainy and cold. I got there late and walked around, and finally found his grave. Just as I found it, the clouds broke open and the sun burst through. Everything glistened from the rain. Magical. I’ll never forget that moment.
One of the best on jim and the doors I’ve ever seen thanks life long fan .since I was around 11 in 1971 I’m 61 now .rip jim .but your words will stay with us a very long time .you got your wish .
Jim Morrison is a poetic singer, is manly mystify voice is haunting . His music fits his voice perfectly .it resonates . The Doors The poet band.
A one of kind band. Jim Morrison is the foundation of the band, without the foundation , everything falls apart, Ray is absolutely right
First time he performed in front of a crowd, he performed with his back to the crowd, he was so shy, bless him
It’s SOOO HARD to believe that, omg!!!!!
don't believe the movie
He still had a lovely 😍 arse or ass as Americans say. 😅
The lizard king ! The legendary genius! 🦎👑 Your greatly missed!
Hands down the best documentary on Morrison and The Doors journey.
And I’m only 5 minutes in… wow 😯
I’m only 20 minutes in and it’s like the book No One Here Gets Out Alive which I read in one sitting. I could listen to this from beginning to end right now.
I started listening to the Doors.
When I was a young boy.
Living in the NYC area.Where rock was king.
I am 64 now.
Still listen to their outstanding music!
There will Never be Another Like Him. He had such a VOICE!
These photos play out like art. They capture so much, just amazing.
Whenever I want to have fun I d ask ……..” what would Jim do ??”
I'll never forget the moment I first heard about the Doors. I was in 8th grade and getting into the rock music scene. My special ed teacher (I'm deaf) caught on and suggested I try some bands she's listened to for decades. It wasn't "cool" to borrow CDs from teachers, but who cares? She loaned me their Greatest Hits collection with Jim's face on the cover. I still remember seeing that prominent square jaw above his beady necklace. And those curly locks. And Jim's piercing eyes. I got the impression he was a spiritual leader of a hippie rock band. Truth is, Jim was anything but a leader. If you watch his interviews, he was always somewhere else mentally. I didn't fall in love with the Doors right away because I didn't give them a chance. 15 years later, I finally did. Now that I look back, I have to laugh. It's almost like my teacher *knew* I would get into these guys. Jim reminds me of myself. I feel like I exist in an entirely different realm and can only express it with words. Thank you Ms. Nisbet for introducing me to the Doors. You helped me find and understand myself.
Greatest band to walk the earth.
Amen brother!
Lizard King Central 1. The Doors 2. Led Zeppelin
NOT ! Only one more !
Without a doubt! For better or worse, nobody did it better either way.
Really created what became goth rock may be the first and thank you Jim never sold out
Jim Morrison was one of those extreme few people who were able to turn poetic talent, into music and song. Have always been a fan of the Doors since late 60's. When I had read about Jim's death in July 1971, it floored me . . . but did not surprise me.
Why were you NOT surprised? Jim didn't die in Paris. The "kid" did. The Rockstar was given a Rockstar death ending. The contract was fulfilled. Jim shed his skin , and walked on down the hall. There's probably been thousands of people who have spoken, seen, sat by,etc Jim since and never knew.
@@MrSwitchblade327 yup, he filled his obligations and just like Kurt did his part. Do you know the significance of a leading influence just dying and it overwhelming damage it does to a teenagers brain. It opens you up to more destruction
Regret having forgotten the Bass guitarist hired to record such strong lines 'over'
Manzarek pedalboard sound -- perfect match
From the day I first heard the Doors my Brain was changed forever I entered another world suddenly everything around me just stopped nothing mattered anymore
Awesome description
Jim Morrison is my hero. I adore him so much. He was more a poet than a singer. HE WAS A LEGEND. He dies too soon, he would be a Hero in our times. He was a rebell in these years, he was a speaker, a HERO.
Yes. .. . ..the band had a gift. I can't put my finger on it but I don't have to.....it speaks for itself.

@@robertgimbel8701 mmm
I like to think he would have aged with grace and dignity…not that if he were around today, he would be running around still in tight pants with long hair, like Steve Tyler and other aged rock stars.
@@geslinam9703 He got quite fat ,but who knows
The Doors opened my eyes. Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger & John Densmore... Thank you isn't even close to what I owe you guys. RIP Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek. Thanks for the upload.
Thankyou for posting this gem
RIP JIM. Thanks for the music.
Very well done, includes many unfamiliar photographs and poetry bits. When I visit the Jim Morrison fan groups, I discover over and over again that Jim is perceived as a hero who partied nonstop, and whose goal was to get his kicks today. Not so; he was a serious and accomplished artist. He wrote extraordinary songs, and the quality of his lyrics are unsurpassed. He was a hard working poet, whose work was dismissed as sophomoric self-indulgence for too many years, when in fact it was beautiful and exceptional. A fine tribute..
Very well put.
Listening to him in interviews is an intellectual delight
It is! Listening to his opinions about things in this setting and not just a singer on stage or in the studio is the best!
a poet... that CAN sing
My first four albums were:
Born On the Bayou- Creedence Clearwater
Santana I
Rubbersoul- the Beatles
The Doors 🚪
What a beginning to listen to music at 13 years old (!)
Those were the days!
Jim was absolutely gorgeous
This is the best ive ever heard about the Jim I saw thru everything else! Thank you
Ray is one of the best raconteurs I've ever heard. I can listen to him talk about anything. His background stories about how certain songs came together are poetry in themselves. Oh... and not a bad keyboardist.
If Ray could have lived long enough to have his own podcast!!! Very unique phrasing coupled with that LA rock voice. He was every bit as important to the Doors as Morrison.. and Jim knew that from the day they met.
@@TheFunkybert You and Me, brother.Over the decades as we heard m,ore bootlegs and live recordings, I gained tremendous respect for John and Robbie and their ability to back Jim doing so much spoken word, Hard to fill and follow. But it seemed like Ray just had a special intuition of where to9 go and what to do. One undeniable fact: each one of those guys needed the other three.
What made Jim was his ability to be a dual threat! He had a great voice but his screams were otherworldly as well!!!!
TwoFace...
I've watched this before in it's entirety, so last night I put it on the big screen with the volume off and cranked up my old school stereo playing a stack Doors CD's. It was great!
Yes my best friend hung out with him and wrote songs. He shared stories about Jim and his red corvette. Too much alcohol and the pace was too fast. Now they are all deceased . I am left with vivid memories of those times in this country, and the vibe was cosmic. The music couldn’t have been better, each group had a distinctive signature sound. Oh well fond memories.
He never had a red corvette. He a blue mustang Shelby GT Cobra which he named the blue lady. Your friend wrote songs with Jim Morrison? Sure he did . Let me guess he helped Jim write Doors lyrics but didn't want any credit which is why we never heard of him ..The red corvette is the dead giveaway that your friend is full of shit .
John and robbie are still alive
The parallels between Jim Morrison and Jack Kerouac and their reluctant acceptance of (well deserved) fame are undeniable. Both were incredible wordsmiths…both were essentially introverted with a personal vision of being poets, yet thrust upon a voracious and expectant audience while being unable to want or deal with such an enormous spotlight. I find both their stories very sad 😢
It was real cool to hear everyone in the interviews. Especially Babe Hill!
I love The Doors. They have been one of my favorite bands forever.
That first photo of him where hes young and chubby looks EXACTLY like his older self, its crazy. His face didnt change at all. Love Jim!
I grew up listing to WNEW FM. Scottso & Alisson Steele THE NIGHTBIRD. The Magic Of It All ! Cool Posting 🎸
This biography is a MASTERPIECE.. and the narrative is excellent.. THE DOORS forever..
Jim just knew how much his art would affect us so deeply and for so long. i bet for generations to come.

This is a great documentary retrospective on the Doors and Jim Morrison’s entire career. An Insightful and interesting look at what is probably America’s best band!
He struck me as a great poet/writer among the greats (Ferlangette, TS Elliot, Kafka....) from the first time I heard him about age12......shy and afraid of many things; Light My Fire turned on the Dancer in me, fully grasping my inner tribal..... A dangling fuse of a trance is a close metaphor.
Yep... the greatest band ever. Jim Morrison the Prince of Music .Thanks
Probably the band I listened to the most growing up
I was 11 years old 1967 praying for the soldiers to come home and the war to stop the 1968 the death of Robert f Kennedy is this changed my heart forever for America I I was 11 years old 1969 my cousin's I instantly was drawn to Jim Morrison's poetry and magic that came out of the albums when he sang and the band played being 11 years old Jim Morrison change my path in life for the better I was a shy timid girl I did not drink I did not do drugs and it stayed like that for all my life poetry was magic and my high.
While in Paris,after L.A WOMAN album hit the stores,Jim called Densmore asked how was the album selling,JIM was excited and said he wanted to tour to support the album and sing those songs live,he was gona come back
The doors was without a doubt a rock group that there presentation as erotica politicians was in no way shape or for bull shit. Thank you morrison for shaping my mind, you were sent to making us believe and know that society in a whole streams in one big mind fuck bouncin bob
Also jim mentioned getting that bass player they had help record on LA woman. join them
On the live tours
This is an incredible documentary because you can tell that it was produced by music people in the business. This was not made by some greaser producer at CBS trying to make a name for himself.
Was a wonderful time in life to be alive ❤❤❤❤❤😮😊
I think the three musicians played very well together and Morrison seems to have created the theatricality of what a front man was and how immaculate he seemed. I love how masculine, intelligent, but free spirited the guy was, he lived through his own perception of life and didn’t seem to fit in with the rest
Masculine is what I have always thought about Jim and yes very intelligent unlike most white guy..Jim Morrison is it..Sorry but that's me feeling..
Yeah fucked up because I really believed Oliver Stone's movie which is mostly fiction, so Jim was portrayed like a mad man.i did hang out with Robby Krieger and what a sweet man.
@@ThePVTProductions yea.. I actually met Oliver Stone briefly in LA for his doors movie pre-release party in a Club at the corner of Sunset Blvd and he was a nasty, mean SOAB! Ppl were clearly scared of him and his dark rathe! He was definitely pissed about some of the chaos going on. Yea.. not a great first impression.. I ran away, like most of us guests did. Very Weird 😳
Jim Morrison hated being frontman and was incredibly shy during the whiskey go go performances early in their careers as a stand alone band ...it was an eureka moment for Jim when he saw Van Morrison perform, he befriended and imitated Vans stage theathrics (with Vans blessings) and thus the Lizard Kings stage presence was born ...this was when Pam and he were living in Laurel Canyon and he wrote 'people are strange' in one afternoon jjust up the rd from Cass Elliots house at a vista of Downtown LA off Lookout Mountain View

I actually recorded this radio special when I lived in Portland, Oregon. Still have it. It was Labor Day weekend, 1982. Great program. Thx for the upload........
Even though this WASN'T 3 HOURS LONG, I'm still thankful I was able to view all the rare photos & listen to the interviews. Thanks for the upload!
This frame rate was sped up a bit, probably to evade copyright police, so it was probably 3 hours without it.
Deleted the commercials 😂
Thank you for uploading this. Jim’s gone but never forgotten 👍
In 1965 it was always Jim Morrison of The Doors that made from 1965 67 and 69 Morrison the doors what they were legendary the sound of his music was perfect it was all psychedelic flower power i it was the 1960s Jim Morrison will be remembered forever from the Doors🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
