The Doors - Road House Blues (Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970)

[@paulinepitman2438]

I was lucky enough to see The Doors at the Isle of Wight - we had a long wait, but it was worth it. They were brilliant!

[@jlbaker2000]

Hi Pauline. lol

[@solobano570]

Wow, even listening it on You Tube is magic and I can only imagine how it was real life! Lucky you!

[@sids48]

I'm in awe of you as much as the band ...I try telling young UN's what 1990s rave was like ... you just can't find the words probably the same you trying to tell me the isle of wight was ... moments in time 👍🤯

[@paulinepitman2438]

@@sids48 I agree with you. As great as their amazing performance was, the excitement of being there was also incredible. It's quite easy to describe the performance, and I have done so many times, as you can imagine, but it is difficult to explain the atmosphere, the excitement and thrill of being there, and the energy emanating from the crowd. And it is impossible to describe the feeling of finally being there, watching your favourite band and particularly, Jim Morrison, up there performing live. 💕

[@paulinepitman2438]

@@solobano570 It was a brilliant performance. The band were awesome and Jim's vocals were incredible . They performed all their old favourites, including my favourites (When The Music's Over and The End) so I can happily say I totally enjoyed every minute of their performance, as did most of the crowd judging from the reaction of everyone around us.

[@rtbarnes4893]

Hey you young people? I saw Jim and The Doors 3 times in my youth. I'm lucky! Front row at one show...

[@paulinepitman2438]

Wow!!! Lucky you - I am so envious! Which concerts did you see? I wanted to see them at the Roundhouse in 68, but I was deemed to be too young, especially as I lived over 100 miles from London. I had to wait until 1970 and there was nothing that could stop me from going to the IOW to see them. To see them 3 times would have been truly amazing!

[@Nictric1]

Are the stories of his Shaman-like presence true?

[@paulinepitman2438]

​@@Nictric1 Obviously RT BARNES can answer this question much better than I can, as I only saw them at this concert when, Jim just stood at the mic and sang. He hadn't slept for over 36 hours, and was in the middle of the trial, so he seemed to be concentrating all his effort on his vocals. But I can definitely say that he had a magnetism. He was bathed in that red light, and he barely moved a muscle, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. He drew the whole of my attention throughout the performance like a moth to the flame. He was mesmerising. I still get chills when I think about it!

[@foxandscout]

You are very very fortunate. I missed him by only a few years... though if I lived on the west coast I would have seen him. He died when I had just turned 17. Just graduated high school. Started going out to hear music when I was 14, but that autumn, when I began college in Manhattan, I began to go out to shows several times a week. For the next decade... after the mid-80s it toned down. I still went out often-and still go to concerts- but it wasn’t nearly as often. The Doors, Joplin, and Hendrix are the only musicians I never got to see. Oh I sadly never saw Bob Marley. But I saw just about all who I loved, across genres, and in small venues. Again: you were a fortunate person to see the Doors.

[@danielphillips6300]

Wow it's crazy how such bands existed in such times, it seems now days live performances kinda suck, but maybe I'm out of the groove I don't know lol

[@joshuagray974]

Man these guys were tight! Jims voice was flawless no autotune back then! You had to be great

[@Alaskan-Armadillo]

The thing I will always love most about The Doors is about how they had the power to be a solid unit while paradoxically letting their individuality shine.

[@Luis_Fernando_07]

Best definition ever. Maybe this is what made them so unique.

[@vlastaleistikow6934]

EXACTLY!!!

[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

Like every band ever 😂 trying too hard to find poetry are we!? This is a classic blues bar riff. No different to a lot of black music of the time and blues artists of its time. It also happens to be my favourite song ever. But to suggest that somehow the Doors were unique in their abilities is hilarious to me. And foolish.

[@johnstorton]

@@DanFernandesBenficaSaint Nobody can be COMPLETELY unique. There are elements (or formulas) in western music that can't be broken. The split quarter beat in blues, the various time signatures, the chromatic scale... The Doors were unique in the way they combined various styles to make one unified style of their own. (Roadhouse Blues, though, is straight-up boogie blues.) I don't think there are many "unique" artists, but The Doors are one. Santana would be another. You laugh at The Doors being called unique in their ABILITIES. I have to agree. People go, "WOW! Ray plays bass with his left hand and everything else with his right!" Well, hell, that fundamental to boogie-woogie piano! John's drumming? That's standard jazz. Their creative style? Now THAT'S unique.

[@leetarrant7311]

Amo a The Doors desde que tenía 12 años ahorita tengo 63 y no dejo de escucharlos

[@johnstorton]

I loved The Doors since I was 11 (in 1967), now I'm 71 and I can't stop listening to them, either. Love of their music is a life-long condition. Once their music gets into your soul, it will always be in your soul. It's not something non-Doors fans could ever understand, and Doors fans can't explain it.

[@DrGargani]

uniqueness: that rare and wonderful quality that ensures that nobody, just nobody, will ever sound like you do....this is what the Doors were and still are, to so many listeners.....

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

When this started I was thinking, oh boy this sounds like The Doors are tired and jaded, then the organ kicked in and Jim starts singing, leaning into the vocal, giving it everything, but also effortlessly. The song builds beautifully until 2:49 where it naturally dies back again. The Doors were a masterful live band. They knew when to kick it up a gear, when to sit back, when to pull it all together and they really knew how to build to a great ending. They weren't afraid to let the song breathe a bit, to let it ebb and flow and importantly they knew the importance of dynamics. More like a Jazzer's band than a rock n roll band in many ways. Thanks for this excellent footage.

[@jasondunn5410]

[@JotaSE30]

The Doors with Jim only performed two other live shows after this one (none of which were recorded), at the last one Jim didn't sing at all apparently. They went back to L.A. to record L.A. Woman, and the last song they recorded was Riders on the Storm. Jim went to Paris and never sang with the Doors again. So this concert is the last recorded live performance of Jim Morrison. RIP Jim and Ray.

[@darrellhiatt1719]

LA Woman is a masterpiece

[@darkwitness2718]

The Doors performed three live shows with Jim after the Isle of Wight festival and all three shows were recorded. The two live shows in Dallas can be heard here on KZbin and have rare live versions of "Riders" and "L.A. Woman." The Doors final show in New Orleans on December 12, 1970 was recorded but never released. The guy that has it wants a kings ransom.
