In my younger days this was often played back to back with their Blue Sunday!
Such a harsh ending if you don't, they kinda had no choice
On the original album, Peace Frog segues immediately into the next song, Blue Sunday.
Morrison Hotel is one of their best albums. Peace Frog is an awesome jam. When it was played on the radio...it was followed with the next song on the album Blue Sunday.
Still is sometimes
The whole Morrison Hotel album is amazing! Check out Roadhouse Blues and Waiting for the Sun!
Couldn't agree more.
good album
Indian summer and the spy as well
Try the song "The Soft Parade."
I like the entire album. Big Does fans say it is a sellout album to the man of pop culture of the day... I like all of them, even if they are too mainstream for true Doors fans...
Man, I’m shocked folk aren’t listening to this everyday.
"Morrison Hotel" is the tightest, least self-indulgent Doors LP musically; "Roadhouse Blues" is such a great tune. For total Morrison madness though, you could listen to "Not to Touch the Earth"!
.....and it's got "Land Ho"! I love that song! Great lyrics!
Absolutely love Peace Frog. Soooo funky! And Jim’s lyrics!
I had every single Doors album in High School. Listened to them so much I had to not listen for about 10 years, then fell in love with the band again. Then after a few years, needed another 10 year break. This cycle has repeated my whole life. After 50 years, this is currently my favorite album. Four best songs on this album are The Spy, Roadhouse Blues, Peace Frog & Maggie M'Gill. This album and the song you picked, Kick Ass !
Did you get to see the band?
Same here
Robby Krieger the lead guitarist is so underrated!! Just listen so some of his work on this,The END,Light my Fire!!
Nobody but nobody could control an audience like Morrison. I was fortunate enough to see The Doors 4 times in Chicago, including the infamous 1968 riot concert. Always the provocateur, near the end of that show during the long keyboard solo in "Light My Fire", he went and sat down on the drum riser and started beckoning the crowd with his hand. Soon. several people started dancing down the aisle toward the stage. As the solo continued to blare thru the Chicago Coliseum he began to gesture harder and faster, causing even more people to come to him. At this point the police started trying to push them back. He stood up and ran to the mic and started screaming "Come on! Come on! Don't let 'em stop you! The crowd overwhelmed security and got up onto the stage. As the police chased and threw the revelers off the stage, The Doors exited one by one. Morrison, of course, was the last to leave as he seemed to enjoy the chaos. Then with a wide grin and an "oh well" shoulder shrug, he was gone. Now the crowd really started going nuts. The radio DJ who emceed the show got on the P.A. and implored the crowd over and over to "Sit down. Sit down. If you're good maybe they'll come back." With the promise of possible reappearance of the band most everyone calmed down and got quiet for several minutes hoping they would come out and do their closing song, "The End" Then the announcement came that "The Doors have left the building." All hell broke loose. People started breaking their seats which were all folding chairs. And some of the people on the second level began to throw their chairs down to the main floor as people ran to the exits. The girl I was with and I were very fortunate to escape uninjured. To this day I can still feel the exhilaration combined with fear that concert evoked.
My favorite Doors song. Bought this album with my paper route money back in 1970. “Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven”. You have to listen to the album the way it flows from one song to another
Crystal ships is a nice one I really like.
Check out "When the Music's Over".
A MUST!
turn out the lights,,,,,
Oh absolutely! 👌
Ciao Daniel, thanks for reaction to this one ❤️ One of my faves along with "People are Strange" and "The Unknown Soldier". The line "Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind" describes an event that JM witnessed when he was young while driving through the desert with his family. This event is also referenced in "The Ghost Song" off An American Prayer and the opening scene of Oliver Stone's movie, The Doors, portrays this memory as well. "The Frog" doesn't actually end abrupt, it seamlessly blends into the next track on the album, "Blue Sunday. The Doors are definitely a journey, a slow and psychedelic one and very much connected to JM vision and poetic. Enjoy the ride! On a different note, truly enjoyed yesterday live stream, so fun! :) And my name is Ilaria, Ila if that's easier 😉 Take care!
One of my fave Doors songs - so unique - filled with tension
The Indians section is a real event that Jim witnessed as a small child! Apparently he was travelling with his family, when he came across a road crash, involving the death of some of the Native Americans. He believed that one of the their souls leaped into his own, and is living there still! You have to remember he had an amazing imagination, but who knows?
Admiral Morrison, Jim's dad, said many years later that Jim somewhat exaggerated the incident. There had been an accident involving Native workers in a truck, but when the Morrisons stopped to help, they were told help was already on the way, and there apparently weren't any bodies or dead people on the road (there were several injured people).
@@russallert I thought i'd read something like that in the many books i've devoured over the years, but wasn't sure whether i'd made it up or not! Thanks for the clarification.
6:29 Not an insult. Have a distant fondness for fragile eggshells, but life has hardened my heart and mind.
Speaking of the song The End... It becomes even more powerful after watching it's adaptation into the iconic ending of the Vietnam War movie Apocalypse Now...
Glad you found this "deep cut" . ...one of my favorite Doors tunes. Thanks. 👍
When Jim M. speaks in the middle of the song Peace Frog, saying> "Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding ghost crowd the young Childs fragile egg shell mind" is a true experience Jim M. said he had, as a young boy, witnessing a horrible accident on a highway of many Native American Indians dying and bleeding, Jim said he felt "one of the American Indians that died "entering his soul".. Jim M. may have died young, but he was most definitely an "old soul"..
Hey Daniel Dethstrok! Glad your channel got so big! Congrats! Great song. I used to play this song in my cover band. Rock on dude!
My brother purchased " The Doors" album and when my mother heard " Light My Fire" she forbid me from listening to them. Of Course I heard them on my transistor radio so her rule was broken daily. Lol
Lol awesome! 😆👍
I never saw them but the stories of their live shows are legendary. I have a friend who saw them and while he said it was a great show it was uneventful with regard to law enforcement. He was disappointed! Another song from Morrison Hotel, Roadhouse Blues, is a straightforward blues rocker. It was a little unusual for them but one of their best. Well worth a listen.
I’m from new haven!!.. was 6 years old when Jim was arrested....lol
It's so strange to hear this song without it's companion song Blue Sunday, which is what was about to happen when it cuts off. Yet another excellent transition but this time into a soft, melodic tune, bringing such a juxtaposition to Peace Frog. For more on the Indian wreck on the road you should check out An American Prayer. It's counted as the final studio album of The Doors. A few years after Morrison's death they took his recordings of his poems and set them to music. It's a fascinating album of poetry, some of which touches on his experience with the Indian wreck on the highway. As far as The Doors go, whenever I try and sit down to list my Top 5 all time favorite US bands, they seem to always manage to find their way as I compile the list to the top.
There were also massive protests in New Haven in 1970 because of the Black Panther Trial. May Day specifically. Big Headlines. Also, for perspective, The Doors were playing High School dances in Connecticut a year earlier.
bulls eye.
I'm surprised The Doors YT channel abruptly cut off the song. It blends into the next song on the album, but had it's own ending a couple of seconds later.
It transitioned into 'Blue Sunday', but Blue Sunday continued for minutes.
I never could figure out if JM was a complete genius or a complete lunatic .
- They are not mutually exclusive or necessarily complete.
Yes he was
@@humboldtharry4248 - "Yes he was" What? A complete genius or a complete lunatic?
@@warmswarm both
Peace Frog/Blue Sunday & Indian Summer are, in my opinion, the best Jim Morrison has ever written. "Indians scattered on Dawn's highway bleeding, Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind."
Another great Doors song (if you can find it) is "Who Scared You" It was originally on their kind of best of double album Titled "Weird Scenes inside the Gold Mine" Which is hard to find these days. It also included Ray Manzerack singing "If You Need Meat" an old Willie Dixon song.
I had Weird Screens... Along with American Prayer, I thought it was too early on his journey to share...
When I think of the pandemic, I always come to Morrison's 1967 lyric "Strange days have found us, strange days have tracked us down."
I think you are going to like this! I love your reaction!!!
This is one of my favorite Doors songs...and the album is fantastic! I don't know if I am the only one, but does anyone else get and appreciate the subtle nuances of John Densmore's drumming?
You need to react to Roadhouse Blues...you'll be wanting to learn the guitar on that one!
densmore is dynamic pace & accent wise. he had a great instinct for flow but also direction. the doors music was curvy hill down, more then power straight aways. takes a special type of drummer who can drive tempo like a porche. one of the all time best in those regards.
@@kelvinkloud He has these little pauses where he seems to skip a beat, and that gentle touch he does with cymbals. It's evident in Peace Frog and The WASP.
Great reaction to a funky Doors song! This is an old video but since you're talking lyrics: during this time (not unlike now!), it certainly felt like "Blood in the streets is up to my knees." Between '68 and '69, you had Vietnam, civil rights protests turning violent, the riots in Chicago and MLK and RFK being shot, the Manson family, Altamont. The "Indians on dawn's highway bleeding...." evokes the "original sin" of America that haunts the kid who's living now ("ghosts crowd the child's fragile eggshell mind"). Obviously, as you said: Robbie came up with a riff, and they rummaged through Jim's notebook to find lines that were suitable, but to many listeners, these lyrics evoked what was going on in America at the time...and for me, it could have been written now, about these times.
"Roadhouse Blues" starts the album this is on, and it's killer. I think that when Jim Morrison was a kid he actually did see the aftermath of a terrible accident involving an American Indian family, and that may be what he's referring to in the spoken part.
And in his poetry entitled, 'An American Prayer'. I'd suggest a reaction video on that! It's also an album, set to Doors music.
Your reactions while listening to this song ere priceless. great job on another great song. You have done "People are Strange" like Jim himself so how about "Strange Days". Thank you, Daniel.
The Changeling off LA Woman album is a masterpiece, WASP texas radio and the big beat off of same album is masterpiece. Soft Parade is a masterpiece, When The Musics Over is masterpiece, Soul Kitchen is a masterpiece, Five to One is a masterpiece
The quintessential non top 40 doors song that isn’t 7+ min. It incorporates everything that made them not only singular, but shows off how really talented they were as musicians. The syncopated funk, chord progression, bridge changes and symbolist poetry w/ a topical and even prophetic theme in this song are seamless. It also has a crispness to it that sometimes lags in some doors songs.... the doors could be inconsistent, but when they dialed into their A game like here they were very special and unique.... imo they’ve aged better then any of their peers in that era. This song will still intrigue a youthful listener.
Love that... Inconsistent, but when dialed in...
The Doors wall hanging you received references this New Haven show...
When Jim says blood in the streets the town of New Haven, he's t
alking about New Haven CT when he was pulled off the stay and arrested - look it up.
Loved dancing to this song in the clubs👍☮️🐸
He took his pants off on the stage in New Haven CT 🤣
My favorIte Doors song!
One of many fine songs by The Doors and Jim Morrison . . . R.I.P.
Poet Laureate, of Rock 'n Roll; along with Dylan.
Great Track!
Thank you for introducing me to this song. I love The Doors~
The Doors did this when I was two years old. My Uncle was obsessed with The Doors early in my childhood. Don't let this music take you over.
The Doors! My 2nd Fav Band! You understand a lot of Jim’s lyrics when you read some of the books about the band. His childhood, his deep thoughts, curiosity about what lies on the other side of death, etc.
Such awesome time to grow up! So many many new & incredible bands & music!
Mind blown. I had this great album, and loved it, but never had a clue about what he was saying. And that bit about the Indians entering his soul struck a chord, but I had a similar experience, on I-85, of all places. I was west of Charlotte, heading west, near Mount Holly, when all of a sudden, while on a bridge, I had the experience of souls entering my body, which is as good a description as I have heard, of the feeling. Anyway, I soon found out that a carload of people had died, having crashed off that same bridge a few days before. It was also as if I have entered their fear cloud, which may have been generated. I don't know, but it still gives me the willies.
"The sides were like glass, in the thick of a forest without a road." In Fleetwood Mac's "Hypnotized" they talk of a place in North Carolina that looks like that. And since that river of death flows over a dam, it gives it the appearance of a mirror, as it is calm waters, generally. This song is not calm waters. Up until today, I grooved mostly on the music, having no clue of what was being said. This is one of their most advanced songs of all. Thanks for opening my eyes. Lastly, and sorry for my wordiness, but I am a writer and can't help myself, back in those days, people that look like you would often get harassed by policemen. Once I was with two other hip friends at Myrtle Beach, and the two of them were arrested for "inciting a riot"...which must have been something they used against longhairs. Kay and Ken were two of the most peaceful, non-violent, unintimidating people you could meet. But they didn't conform. Rather we didn't. And today we honor Jim. Not those who beat him.
Morrison and keyboardist Ray Manzarek met casually as students, both graduating from UCLA with a degree in cinematography. Met again after, and started the band. The other two joined soon after. Krieger wrote and co-wrote many of the songs. Light My Fire was their first hit and probably most played song. There were a few years where it was played as often as Stairway to Heaven.
Would rather you react to many other songs by the Doors, but Not croony Blue Monday.
LA Woman, Riders of the Storm (another mega hit), Hello, I Love You; Soul Kitchen, The Soft Parade, Running Blue, People Are Strange, Running Blue, Love Street, Love Me Two Times, Touch Me, Break on Through.... I could name a dozen more...
morrison was also a classmate & friend w/ francis ford copolla while at ucla.... hence, apocolypse now incorporating the end, into the film score.
In the song Newborn Awakenings on the album American Prayer (produced after Jim Morrisson's death, but with voice-recordings of his poems, parts of peace frog are reused, including the "Indians scattered on Dawn's highway" part. There it is followed with my favourite lines:
Indian, Indian
What did you die for?
Indian says nothing at all.
You have to check out Roadhouse Blues
If you want to learn more about the history of Morrison and The Doors you should watch Oliver Stone's "The Doors" (1991) starring Val Kilmer. It's not 100% accurate but no biopic truly is. However it does cover the important events in the band's history and Val Kilmer's performance is amazing! As a Los Angeles Times reviewer wrote, "It's one hell of a ride!"
Great song. I haven't heard it in quite a while
Such a fun happy song 🙂
his stuff can be wired you should give a listen to An American Prayer it's a bunch of his poems put to music by the doors
Yes, I spent a few hours, okay dozens of hours listening to American Prayer. Almost sent it to him, but I thought it might be too much too soon....
@@daveking9393 I get it...
The Doors and their time, the late sixties, early seventies, are inextricably linked: the meat grinder of Vietnam, a very polarized political climate and protest movements. Was it political? You bet.
When you watch movies set in that time period, you will often hear Doors songs that add to the ambiance of the setting. Peace Frog was in American Animals, The Blacklist and The Waterboy,
You mentioned The End- it had a prominent place in Apocalypse Now. I think Doors songs have appeared in ~100 movies and television shows.
From wikipedia: "During this period, the de facto blacklisting continued to persist in more socially conservative markets, particularly the Deep South..."
Which only served to sell more albums.
I was in 3rd grade and came to school and the flag was at half-mast. A guy that had gone to our school some years before and had a younger brother in sixth grade had been killed in Vietnam. That's when the war came home. A year later mu cousin lost his foot. It was a huge shit sandwich, and we all got a bite.
It was also a period of Cold War paranoia. Some of it sensible due to Russia spying, spread into Cuba, s amer and assasinatiin plots and nuke escalation. Some of it however, built around growing fear of the other. Not to touch the earth echoes both. It also sped along a further then normal generation gap gulf. Part of this was a rising Econ and suburbs and rising consumerism for boomers, but part of it was rising tension against estbl institutions wh/ controlled mores rigidly from the 30s-50s. When the musics over plays off that. Morrison understood and was fascinated by this much more then your avg rock composer. He was much more a writer in heart and mind then just about anyone ever in rock. Much like Dylan but more fascination in power struggle, psychological neurosis and crowd think.
When you listen to Peace Frog you must listen to Blue Sunday which comes right after this song on the recorded album, LP, and CD. They are connected. Great review!
ya',,,wow lol loved watching you hear this,,,
Exactly why it stops, so yes please react to Blue Sunday. Happy New Year, Great reactions
A nice little hello to the loving California in the midst of the Manson Family.
It doesn't stop there..It goes into Blue Sunday...so weird to not here Blue Sunday...it goes right into Blue Sunday. ARRRGGGH!
This is a true story from Jim’s childhood. He was in the car riding with his parents. They came across a car wreck with Native Americans on the road hurt and dead. Jim says the spirit of one lept into his body. That’s why they show Jim seeing an Indian spirit guide throughout the movie.
Check out Roadhouse Blues. A classic.
Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers die today. R.I.P. Gerry.
Oh no!!!! Didn’t hear that. I loved that band when I was very young! Ferry Cross the Mercy. Rip Gerry.
I think the title is a reference to the the frog in boiling water anecdote, as a symbol for us being desensitized to violence
Goes immediately into Blue Sunday. In hindsight, you'd have been better off doing both together. Edit: I see you discovered that at the end of the reaction.
exactly
I'm new and I like it. Your Intro was funny because you messed it up. I like that you restart and actually notice the influences. The palm mute and that you realize nirvana used this same stuff
Oh, I had mentioned the Beach Boys to you on another video, 66-73 and 77. Well, listening to the Doors made me think of another band you should check if you like this stuff - the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Their album, East-West, has some great blues/rock numbers, and the title track is this epic, 13 minute jazz/rock/blues number. The album "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw" is just fantastic, from top to bottom, and another album, "It All Comes Back," is also amazing! On Pigboy, the song "One More Heartache" and "Driftin' and Driftin" are great and epic, respectively.
Ah, my favorite Doors song -- short, and sweet, but what a groove!
Thanks Daniel
Jim Morrison was kind of a lunatic. I had a big Doors phase back in college. I'm kinda mixed on their music now. My favorite Doors song is LA Woman, but I like quite a few of their songs and albums.
My favorite Doors song
Cool, nice choice.
You gotta do The Soft Parade, will blow your mind.
This song was only 2 years after the Democratic convention of Chicago in 1968 and about the same time as the trials for the Chicago 8. Where the news would show the cops beating peoples heads in reminding people what happened.
The part about the dead Indian on the highway Morrison claimed happened to him as a kid and his family was driving across country. He thought the soul of that native American entered him and that's how he was able to tap the forces he did.
It does not just stop there. More insight into the Indians scattered on the desert highway can be found in the album An American Prayer.
Child's mind is not weak but is absolutely formative and easily broken
Whether it be this, or Riders of the Storm or The End or whatever other song, Jim has a fascination with the dark side of the human soul and the people out there, waiting to act.
Chicago is also where Ray Manzarek was born. There's a odd relationship that's claims many of the Doors songs are political and the band claims they are not. There is also a video of Jim getting arrested on stage
not overtly political, but certainly aware & reflective of power & violence wh/ can be perpetuated by the body politic.
Love the tribute album STONED IMMACULATE
After peace frog , connect the next , blue Sunday
To appreciate the poetic genius of Jim Morrison, you should listen to the "American Prayer" album which came out after his death based on his book of poetry. He recites his poetry and The Doors play the background music. Interesting combination of music and poetry that shows off the shaman side of Morrison.
I spent too much time with the doors but, oh the days of our youth.... This song absolutely rocks! So many tunes rock by the Doors. But many are far too deep a hole to want to experience over and over... They actually have a lot of material beyond the many popular hits...
His poetry can be cool and interesting but many can just take you down Jim's depths and that is not a healthy place to be.
I think after many moves as a son of a high ranking Naval officer, he grew up in California so LA is a big part of his life.
RIP JIM AND RAY ....❤️✝️🍺🌑🍄🌺🥀🌼🌻🍀
What a great song to choose Daniel, a favorite of mine and I’m sure many others! By the way, the song does stop abruptly like that as there is a fade-out! Probably one of my top ten albums of all time! “Roadhouse Blues” is a must along with Soul Kitchen!
One of the Doors funkiest beats
Jim was mainly a poet. He understands how to explore all aspects of creation, which includes death. Its funny you mentioned Kurt Cobain because he was another artist (in the truest sense of the word) that had an obsession with the dark and unseen, the culturally inpolite.
The mixture of styles The Doors incorporate is nothing short of astounding, overriding natural instincts of the way something should be, and how it is presented.
We no longer see their kind anymore, to a wannabee free society's detriment.
THE SONGGGG IS CALLED THE DOORS HUH??? :) YOU JUST MADE MY LATE NIGHT DANIEL, COOL!
Great pick
Peace frog and blue Sunday go together that's the song that follows it that's why it ended so abruptly.
You do good work.
It stops because it segues into Blue Sunday . I suppose your source material is not letting you have anymore than you asked for . Peace Frog is made to be played in conjunction with Blue Sunday.
Daniel, have you had a chance to watch the "People are Strange" DVD? A lot of great insight on the band and Jim in particular.
If you The End by The Doors, you should the sequence in the movie Apocalypse Now that features the song. It works great together.
PS: Daniel, you might want to read the Doors biography, No One Here Gets Out Alive. Their story is beyond fascinating. All of the events from this song are well covered in the book. I think the author was Danny Sugarman, who was employed by the band at the time and lived through a lot of this stuff with them.
yep that was in new haven ,,,,,,the arrest
1 GR8888 THING ABOUT THE DOORS DANIEL, YOU NEVERRRR REALLY KNEW WHERE THE SONG WAS GOING WITH MORRISON'S WRITINGS. AND THE PROGGINESS OF THE BAND! LOLOL :) IT JUST NEVERRR GOT OLD, ANOTHERRRR WHAT, 50 YEAR OLD ALBUM! ( MORRISON HOTEL ) :)
He was arrested in new haven CT on stage
my personal fave ty
You still haven’t listened to “Not to Touch the Earth”.
The most Doorsy of all Doors songs!
Such a tasty Jam
