No one who has never been to Los Angeles knows what its really like. Apart from tent city we think its so glamorous. I'd love to move there as a welsh guy!
Mymom and Dad were born and raised in Venice CA. They were there in the 50's-70's until they moved to Utah. SO they lived there during the early days of the Doors. That was when Venice was going from WW2 suburb to the Artsy Hippie culture. Venice will never be the same now.
Venice Beach has always had such a circus like atmosphere to it, Like a multi ring circus and a surreal appendage of event's and people, Maybe that's why the Doors liked Venice Beach so much.

Thanks George, an absolute fan to.I want to be cremated and have Light My Fire on the bars. I,ve some pictures from paris ( Rue Beautreillis in Le Marais) where he lived with Pam at nr 17.I was able to get in the hall of the building and went cold all over.Been everywhere in Paris to look for the places he has been: r&R Circus,rue Mazarine (where he was supposed to be dragged out and put in a taxi),Rue de Seine ) All on the left-bank). I can't go to Paris without thinking of this band,thinking of Morrison: i,ve never understood why i could not be at ease in that city.Been they're with 3 of my 'loves' who neither understood: for me it's a pilgrimage i think, Jim and Ray rest in peace:Doors;Best American band ever
man I'm soo much like u. been to his grave twice but not on an anniversary. so I'm going this year for 45th. it's going to be a pilgrimage for me too. I also wanna go to the building he died in. is it easy access to get in? an is it a shrine or do people live in it??
He's a Shaman Will,the only one,good luck with your trip,45 years,man,still in my head this,never leaves.And no,his addres is Rue Beautreillis 17: it's behind the Town-Hall of Paris,you walk up the this street after this,you're going to Republique ( REmember Bataclan??),walking on the right side,two streets before the 'place''of Republique: there's Beautreillis,On the corner on the right side there's a liquor store:Monaco or something ( i was there 5 years ago):here Jim ordered: 'French Breakfeast< Like to hear from you man, and what thought.. greets, Roel
Roel Lassche I'm lucky enough to live in Paris and from time to time I go visit Jim Morrison's grave! The cemetery where he rests is actually very beautiful e peaceful and it gives me a great feeling of relief and you can sense his energy! It's a must do for any true fan of The Doors. Ever since I saw the movie many years ago, I always wanted to go there and find his grave exactly the same way the camera does in the movie and although I was a bit disappointed to find out that the statue of his face long gone...it's still tremendously powerful to find for the first time his gravesite.
Roel Lassche : Hi! Big fan over here too! I live one hour away from Paris ☺️ I'm going to visit his grave in "Le Père Lachaise". Also, my family has an apartment in "le Marais". Maybe I'll visit too! I hope! Have a nice day sir 😊 Greetings from France ❤️
I'm sorry to ruin it but Jim Morrison didn't really sleep on the roof of the Morrison Apartments, he slept on the roof of the Waldorf, a few houses from that one. He also stayed in a building on Breeze Ave where Paul Roddell, the landlord at the time & friend let him sleep.
+George Vreeland Hill ;Great filming George,what a camer-helding you have! I'd like to see the surrounding where it all started:Let's swim to the moon man, great
Jim Morrison lived 3 house's down from my godparents when he lived on main st in VENICE. And Canned Heat lived on the corner down from my grandma house . By the way it's the MORRISON HOTEL
Thanks :) I'll catch 'em when I make my L.A. return. I see a great one called The Doors Alive. They're playing in Paris on the anniversary of Jim's death this year. Thinking of going.
Agreed.Anyone who can't get the band members' names right makes the video suspect from the start. And they didn't "meet "on the beach---they met at UCLA.
1:15.......lol, did Jim morrison sleep on that roof? is this the door that he walked through? is this where he walked? is this where he stood? is this where he wrote his poety. ive got a better question.....who gives a fuck
Worshiping Jesus Christ wont save you either because Jesus died two thousand years ago. Jesus is long dead and gone and he couldn't even save himself either, Jesus was nailed to a cross.

Nothing ever remains the same, nothing.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
I lived down there in Feb. '64, two weeks. Also wrote some poetry down there
50 Brooks Ave is now all tagged over, gated off and nasty. So is that great mural, what a shame!
George - thanks for posting this. Your videos always show a lot of great history.
This is great George thanks! Also I can tell your a fan and it makes the video way more enjoyable because of how clearly stoked you are
Wonderful ❤ Forever Jim
Very cool video! I love the Doors!
Great... from a Norma Jean fan and doors fan for many years♥️♥️♥️♥️thanks mate.xxxxx
Miss You Jim
I love You!
Excellent video
this is amazing man. I'm just like you the biggest fan ever. I'm coming to LA to do all u have done in this.
Venice Beach has always had such a circus like atmosphere to it, Like a multi ring circus and a surreal appendage of event's and people, Maybe that's why the Doors liked Venice Beach so much.
Perfect explanation. That is exactly how I see the Doors and all their surroundings...a circus atmosphere.

GREAT VIDEO GEORGE-- LOTS OF PLACES I HAVE BEEN AT,,.. THE MORRISON APT.S IS ON SPEEDWAY DR.
I hear it's not safe to be in Venice beach anymore. True?
Yeah Dennis gangs of L-A got the territory and at night fall it's always a lil' spooky if you walk alone.
How about the famous pic of them sitting under the green Pergola. Pretty cool
This was amazing. Thank you for uploading this video.
Awesome!
Thanks for the vid Jim also used to lived at
201 Sherman Canal / Venice / Calif

MelMelMel -Just saying-How Do You Confirm ALL This -i was Also told that Morrison Slept a lot on the Beach -Reese, NY
@@reesebene6082 dont question MelMelMels authority
klasified1 -Is this ‘TOP SECRET’ ? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
@@reesebene6082
He slept everywhere. 👍
I am laughing so hard at your comment :))))
MEEEE AND MY AHHH MOTHER AND FATHER GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT ....... AT DAWN. .
its nor ray Mazzerik. It's Manzarek. Jesus.
william mac ^
On that very beach? That beach?
The Doors - Where they were in Venice Beach
+George Vreeland Hill ;Great filming George,what a camer-helding you have!

@@roellassche6648 ..the moon, ahah
Jim Morrison lived 3 house's down from my godparents when he lived on main st in VENICE. And Canned Heat lived on the corner down from my grandma house .
By the way it's the
MORRISON HOTEL
wait, what does the apartment from californication have to do with jim morrison? or was that just a random reference.
Is there painted footsteps of Jim Morrison 'walking this way' with the Doors?
Where were Peace Frog playing every Sunday?
+Michael Calder at the Venice Bistro..but not anymore..there doing gigs in a bar in Santa monica now..i saw them a few times..great cover band
Thanks :) I'll catch 'em when I make my L.A. return. I see a great one called The Doors Alive. They're playing in Paris on the anniversary of Jim's death this year. Thinking of going.
Jim and Ray already knew each other before the beach.
Ok. I am a huge fan of Jim Morrison's work, but it's kinda strange to see some people go crazy because of simple mistakes. lol
Hey! People are strange when you're a stranger so...
@@robertgarcia3156 well, faces are ugly when you're alone. And women seem wicked when you're unwanted.
where did he go to the bathroom?
Man-zer-ick Man!!
Never been to Venice Beach but looks like a very small beach
Venice beach is huge. As are many of the beaches near there.
Ray "Mazarek". Right off the bat I'm suspect of what's gonna be in this vid.
Yeah he's like 'and who should come swaggering up the beach but Jim Morrison with this buncha rock songs.... ' yeah, right....
Agreed.Anyone who can't get the band members' names right makes the video suspect from the start. And they didn't "meet "on the beach---they met at UCLA.
Groooooooooooooooooooooooovy, any of it true?
Who is Ray MAZAREK? .... Manzarek perhaps?
Ray Mazerik?
Amazing.
Ptetty good pretty neat
"Ray mazerek" why tf would you pronounce his name like that
calm down...what is wrong with people these days.
The least you could have done, was learn how to pronounce Ray's last name..........
D35611 thank you. Ray was a friend and I hate it when his name is not pronounced correctly.
I know. I got tongue tied. I should have started over. I know Ray's name.
George Vreeland Hill but you posted anyway? You could have started over!
@@gojocko1Chill. Lol It's a simple mistake and it's just a name.
Raccoon Man Take pride in your work.
Blood stain the roots of the Palm trees of Venice,,🦎👑
@Nunya Business incorrect but still sounds good all the same 🌈
I'm waiting to be shown the very spot where Jim Morrison on a hot clear day in 1967 actually picked his nose.
Let's get it right..The Doors....not Jim Morrison and the Doors
Jim morrison was like lightening from the sky 💕
He was just a human being.
poor jim. jobless, survived by canned food, sleep in the rooftop.
Didnt know OJ's jeep was in this video too? 😂
Here is the toilet in which Jim Morrison wrote...The End!
You're such a fucking little prick don't you?
Its now called Pelosi beach.
Some creeps 'tagged' over this beautiful mural. Untalented nothings...
O23 ray missouri?jaja!
1:15.......lol, did Jim morrison sleep on that roof? is this the door that he walked through? is this where he walked? is this where he stood? is this where he wrote his poety. ive got a better question.....who gives a fuck
LOL
A bit too reverent; lame even how he's saying things.
He has Jim confused with Jesus Christ I think.
The difference between Jesus and Jim is that one of them existed. :3
Jim was too pretty to ever grow old. So he didn't.
It’s pronounced Ray Man-ZAR-ek.
Did he "really eat meals" ? haa, haaa, haaa C'Mon Maaan
LOL
boring narrator! ray mazarak?! I'm turning the channel on it!
now at 2.44 this is all cover with stupid graffeti!
Cheese. But nice effort.
NNNNNNNNNNN
You need to worship Jesus Christ, because dead singers can't Save you. Jim couldn't even Save himself.
Worshiping Jesus Christ wont save you either because Jesus died two thousand years ago. Jesus is long dead and gone and he couldn't even save himself either, Jesus was nailed to a cross.
Had Jesus wanted He could've saved Himself. He died to allow a clear path to Heaven for the rest of us.
Lame
your mother was lame last night Johnny
Not for fans.
Awful narrative.
Shithouse
Boring
this is amazing man. I'm just like you the biggest fan ever. I'm coming to LA to do all u have done in this.
Did ya do it?
