Drummer reacts to "Peace Frog" & "Indian Summer" by The Doors

Well back by popular demand... The Doors! And we are hitting two tracks that have been suggested for months and DAMN I GOT LUCKY WITH THIS PAIRING. Wow. It shows off both sides of this band SO well and there is so much here to love from them. This might be them at their best, and it's not even that long! How?? The second track is absolutely gorgeous and Robby makes that song work so well.

Do you have another Doors track you think I'd like? If you have a suggestion, leave it here.

Waiting for the sun, not the album, the song is on Morrison Hotel.

[@DrStrangelove3891]

Sometimes I feel really sad for the people who listen to the crap on the radio without even knowing that a song like Indian Summer exists.

[@L33Reacts]

so true dude. so, so true. there is real beauty to be heard but they'd rather cram down whatever shit will get people to gyrate to or bob their head to. it's a lame art world nowadays. and sadly i think it will get only more lame.

[@54fighting5]

It's feels like computers have written all the popular songs for the last 10 years. Yeah I'm a geezer, but whether I liked or didn't like certain songs in the 60's and 70's, at least they were written by people with heart and emotions they wanted to convey. And they ACTUALLY KNEW HOW TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS.

[@lisarainbow9703]

I'm someone who suggested Peacefrog, so thanks!! It's one of the best bass grooves ever... ✌🐸

[@John__Dough]

‘Waiting For The Sun’ is an awesome Doors song!

[@alldayadventures5418]

All the best DOORS Tunes are not the ones you hear people asking for. The best songs on DOORS albums are the ones like these tunes the "B" sides and the ones that did not get airplay time.. This album really rocks. "THE SPY" "Waiting for the Sun" other albums have gems too... "Love Street" is a great tune.

[@L33Reacts]

i've noticed with a lot of bands most of the meat on the bone is off the beaten path. that's why I like doing the deep dives so I actually find out what the band is all about.

Do you think The Doors should have their own day? Until we go through their limited catalog? Let me know. I still haven't seen ANY live stuff from them either... so let me know down below and I will take it under consideration!

They certainly rate their own day. So many great cuts on so many great LPs. I’ve spent almost 60 tears listening to them.✌️❤️🎶

[@scottstambaugh8473]

They have a live album, Absolutely Live. They do two covers on that album that are definitely worth doing. Gloria, and Who Do You Love. Absolutely must do. And yes, their own day. My favorite band.

When Morrison Hotel came out we knew the Doors were back.

[@Lwize]

Peace Frog has a solid groove.

[@curtadams7406]

The Doors were like a comet--they hit the scene out of no where, put out six albums in rapid succession over the next five years, and then they were gone. But what albums! My best friend of 50+ years passed away in December, he was a big Doors fan, and we were lucky enough to see the Doors play in Asbury Park in the summer of 1967.

[@lesliecermak6473]

Wow, that must have been an otherworldly experience!

[@kelvinkloud]

How good were they live?… of all the great talent then, did the doors stand out among peers in music as unique and influential. Anyone you ever seen like morrison?

[@curtadams7406]

@@kelvinkloud Kevin, you've made me access the depths of my memory. I remember it as two separate shows--the band, and Morrison. Manzarek, Kreiger, and Dinsmore were sort of, "we're here to do a job, play our music." That they did with perfection, but they were not showmen in any sense, they let their playing do the talking. Of course, they did not need to be showmen because of...Jim. However, "showman" is not really the correct term for Jim, because it implies a personna that was contrived and and act that was planned and rehearsed, and I do not think he did either. (Or maybe he did both, but so well he fooled us all.) When Morrison was on stage it was like another being had entered his body, and you never knew what he would do, especially since it was no secret that he enjoyed his alcohol before shows. Back then so did I, and because the Asbury Park Convention Hall did not check concertgoers for contraband, my recollections of the second half of the show are dim. In short, the performance was more like "Jim Morrison accompanied by some fine musicians." One detail I still recall is that the version they did of "The End" was considerably longer than the album version, Jim inserted a lot of lyrics and imagery about the car accident and Indians strewn across the road that is referenced in "Peace Frog." The Doors and Morrison were unique.

[@kelvinkloud]

@@curtadams7406 thx… wish I’d been there. 10 years too young, but big fan. It’s good to hear someone like u that was there. It seems the aura thing was real. He had a real sense of dramatic impact and evoking himself inside the song. It seems he had no peer, even in that great era. I think he actually gets short changed in how influential and talented he was. He was inconsistent, had demons w/ booze & his law issues & marketing hype obscure it seems how innovative talent he had.

[@curtadams7406]

@@kelvinkloud Danny Sugarman's 1980 book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" is a useful resource for exploring the Doors. Also the 1991 Movie "The Doors." with Val Kilmer doing a great job portraying Jim. Interestingly, the release of the movie caused a revival in interest in the Doors music, their songs were on the radio again for many months. Test to see how serious of a Doors fan you are--would you trade being ten years older if it meant you would have seen them perform? Thought not!

[@brendamilloy2557]

Two of my top favorite Doors songs. Indian Summer is probably my ultimate favorite.

[@Driecnk]

Absolutely Live is an essential listen

[@jefflee8133]

Love the channel. This is the music from my teenage years and the Doors were my favorite band. Nobody had the sound that they had and no one since comes close. If you want more of Robbie and Jim, please listen to ‘Spanish Caravan’. I think it’s from the ‘Waiting for the Sun’ album. You will hear Robbie’s flamenco chops and it’s outstanding. Also from that album is the track ‘Yes, The River Knows’ and this might be the most hauntingly beautiful song they ever recorded IMHO. Thanks again for listening and keeping his priceless music alive! Peace, brother.

[@geob3963]

Funky doors of perception, one of my favoritest songs. What a crazy mood change gear shift between the two songs. Indian Summer reminds me of the light/vibe at sunset on LA beaches.Very cool.

[@kelvinkloud]

Even w/ dated sound, equipt etc there is something that transcends era w/ doors. Eternal themes & perspective that visceral yet opaque… good point, one of the few bands who could deliver concise or long scape. Quality commercial hits but also cutting edge artistic material. Few could hold and deliver both plates. One of Americas 5 most important bands if your being honest and objective.

[@hopeklemann1]

indian summer - introspective.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Some great songs to listen to are The Changeling, Been Down So Long, and The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat).

[@dougieyou]

Your right L33, they may be short but they are both bangers. They put more in their short songs than a lot of bands put in there whole albums. Love you to react to one of my favs. "Land Ho"... it's a real banger . You'll love it !!!!!!

[@vincentvancraig]

On he album, Peace frog merges into the next song seemlessly...a slow thing called blue summer....seperately, indian summer was one of the first songs jim wrote in 1965

[@denpea-mm8zr]

"Blue Sunday" is the next track. But you knew that, I'm sure.

[@janvanimpe8377]

jan van impe if you like "indian summer" you should listen to other dreamy songs like: "end of the night"; "blue sunday", " i can't see your face in my mind" ," cars hiss by my window" (slow blues) and "unhappy girl" !!!!!!!!!!

[@Humb7757]

You can explore the rest of the Album… And ‘The Soft Parade’ …’Do it’, ‘Shaman’s Blues’ ‘Waiting for the sun’ the Album!!! So… Difficult to choose the next songs Every Doors album is Special in it’s own way…

[@L33Reacts]

the soft parade is one i for sure want to revisit. i loved that song. sadly it was a botched audio video so it didn't really go anywhere, but i want to revisit that one.

[@janvanimpe8377]

jan van impe "hyacint house" where ray steals (very clever) a little pianomelody from Chopin pay attention to what jim is saying at the end of this song:"i need a brand new friend: the end ..."

[@russallert]

1) There's some question about the details of the infamous car accident. Jim's father, Admiral Steve Morrison, recounted that they came across the accident on the highway, but that there weren't bodies strewn across the road. There were some people hurt but no one dead, and when Admiral Morrison asked if they needed help, he was told that help was on the way, so the Morrison family carried on with their trip. I suspect that Jim may have blown up the incident in his mind, or purposely exaggerated the incident as part of his persona. He was known for coming up with wild tales when he was growing up, eg. asking his teacher for permission to take a day off because he was going to have surgery for a brain tumour. 2) Indian Summer is actually an out-take from the sessions for the first Doors album. It was left off because of lack of space and time on the vinyl record (an early version of Moonlight Drive was also left off). The band dug it out for Morrison Hotel, and Jim recorded a new vocal, but the instrumental track is from the first album sessions.

My Wild Love from Waiting for the Sun is surprizingly original. I don't believe it uses any conventional instrumentation. It's short, so you might want to add Unkown Soldier to get a better grasp of how they used any colors they could find to paint the background to fit Jim's poetry. Truly unique tunes.

But !!! : the melody is far more beautiful . Unfortunately, it's not jim singing, but Ray, and when the song goes to a climax, he really destroys it,because he can't scream like jim. If jim had sung this song, i honestly think it would hav been their best song !!!. So sad....
