- Jim Coke's "Prime Mover" photo exhibit of Jim Morrison and the The Doors is an exclusive video journal that we are happy to feature. Sharon Giarratano of Slushbox interviews photographer Jim Coke and gets the story behind his historic photo shoot of a concert just days before "Light My Fire" went to No. 1 WOW!!!!!!!!! Fantastic stuff!

Nearly 50 years dead now and people are still fascinated by Jim Morrison.
It is a curious thing, it is as if he were a character from some ancient mythology, as if if he had not existed someone would have had to invent him, an interesting guy Jim Morrison
@@deanvo503 Indeed.
I think that's what Oliver Stone tried to convey in THE DOORS - Jim as a mythic figure.
The fans who complain about ' innacuracies ' totally miss the point.
@@deanvo503 He is the closest thing we have to Lord Byron, the early 19th century poet.
Both remain as huge figures in our culture
@@brucemarshall3446 Yes, and with a pinch of Poe and a dash of Wilde.
@@deanvo503 that us the power if Hellyweird and its minions, the Media. Jim Morrison was a normal, flawed human being.
Jim will always be a legend. A handsome man, intelligent, a performer and above everything, a poet. Never will we see again such an artist with so much charisma.
so iconic. I get cold chills just looking at these. Thank you Jim Coke for preserving these as they should be!
Great photos! Thanks for sharing them with all of us.
What a happy guy, he saw The Doors live!
Oof what a lucky guy!!! Thank you Jims!!! Beautiful pictures.
Love the scream sequence!!!!! "people trusted each other" Jim Coke.
So ecstatic that a mural will be hung in downtown Long Beach this fall! Congrats to Jim Coke, and long live the lizard king!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jim for sharing these treasures. There was a time in the 1970’s and parts of the1980’s there wasn’t much for doors fans to reminisce about. Again thanks.
Very happy you can enjoy this with us!
I became a Doors fan in the early 80's when I was in college. It was kind of a rebirth for them and they became very popular after being almost forgotten. A friend of mine lent me Danny Sugarman's book, No One Here Gets Out Alive, 1980. I read it in a couple of days and soon had purchased all of the Doors albums that I could find. What a great band.
The horn: Jim loved feedback!
pretty good
pretty neat
Fantastic 🤩🤩🤩
This Video is GOLD !!! Love it man. 👍🏻🪙👍🏻
If I had the ability to go back in time and have drinks with people Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Hunter Thompson, and Jack Kerouac would be a great start. Man would that be fun just kicking back beers and talking to these guys.
Also John Lennon would be on that list for me
Jim Coke is a super cool guy with some amazing photographs!!!!
I love the scream sequence! So lucky you were there!
Yes, thank you? What a time, and what a piece of history, (almost from the closet)
JIM COKE ......NICE name........and even better photos of JIMBO!!
That's not Jimbo. Jimbo came out with the booze.
LLLLLOOOOOOOVE GORGEOUS JIM!!!!! Kim :)
YES, our pleasure to showcase this fine exhibit and the photographer Jim Coke's process and insights.

Thank You ! Yes, what a document by Jim Coke!
@@SlushboxLive you're welcome
Excellent shots. They all look impressive. Morrison was a handsome fuker. One can plainly see why the chicks dug him. Very talented fellow. Pretty good, pretty neat. 😎👍
that looks like the concert at the San Jose fairgrounds if I'm not mistaken
I've always wanted to see this entire show but to no avail. San Jose? Die hard Doors fan up here in Seattle. Jim knew his days and so did the night! Yeeehaw
Hi alejandro, just getting around to reading these comments for the first time, nice to see some recent ones. FYI, this was the Fantasy Faire and Magic Music Festival at Devonshire Downs in Northridge, CA. It was a month after Monterey Pop and a week or so before LMF hit #1 in USA.
Northridge (LA), California...see answer to alejandro @@londonwines2381
those were the early days when they were at their best
wow!
I’m 70 and love the Doors music. I was 18 when Morrison died. They really weren’t that popular then. A few of their last shows only attracted two or three thousand kids. I remember some radio guy playing LA Woman in 1970 and cutting the song off when Morrison was just getting into his Mojo Rising screaming fit. The dude on the radio said, ‘OK, we’ve had enough of that,’ and just cut the song off, without finishing it.
I recall hearing a L.A. radio dj do the same thing to a new Rolling Stones song around 1989/90. I wonder if it was the same guy.
Looked like Jim was imitating holding a snake when pointed at the horn. Indian trance stuff
The lizard king, he can do anything
"Whoever controls the media
controls the mind". JDM
JIM COKE....I Love this Name😉
Why is Jim life size she ask,s? Because Jim was larger than life itself.. I wish I could have seen The Doors
Did see them! 3 times. Met ray and john.
So he was wearing leather pants as early as summer of '67? I thought those came later...what he's got on then must be pre-Lizard King leather pants
He only had the pants, not the full suit.
Ya think they would have mentioned when and where this concert happened.
This is so cool! When was this exhibition?
His real name is Pepsi.
Any photos of the audience? Wondering if Pamela was up front?
😉🙏🇧🇷👏
Jim can you bring Your talent/Genius to the Hamptons summer’22
well, thank you alanmartin5119. But your request went unread bc I never looked at these comments until today. How about summer of '24?
Time capsule.
35mm B&W film. Doubt digital would last as long as film.
02:36 joan baez?
No
I am so jealous you
Like Wow man, really, really cool, I can dig it, groove 😊 Jim was skinny, not like Americans now 😢
