Massive Doors fan…. And absolutely enjoyed this. He done it justice 👌🏼🔥

I like Duran Duran. The singing harmonies and lyrics are great. BUT at 60 years old I grew up with my older brother who is 10 years older who got a job bagging groceries and bought a quad stereo and turntable for our bedroom. Few singers in my mind have come close to equaling Jim Morrison’s deep soulful voice. Crystal Ship is one of my all time favorite songs. I think my top favorite is now The Sound of Silence. DISTURBED cover version. The choice of instruments, the rising intensity, Dave Draiman’s great voice, and importantly the slightly slower pace building to a crescendo. One of the exceedingly FEW time a cover is far superior to the original. Simon and Garfunkel wrote a fantastic song that stood as one of my favorites since I first heard it.

[@fernandaarize871]

@bazb2591 YES 💝

[@Edwin777-z9x]

Dope song!!!

[@markdibble8840]

Never thought that Simon LeBon would be a fan of Jim Morrison but here we are.

[@mattyslotz]

I was ready to blast Duran Duran for this but I have to admit...This was great and the fact he immediately thanks Jim shows that he's a class act. Bravo!

[@Raed911]

I gotta say this : I'm a die-hard DOORS fan , so I hate everyone trying to be THE LIZARD KING even if honoring him , however in this video Le Bon as I see in here is singing from the bottom of his heart and the guitar playing is suitable for the occassion , so GOOD JOB .

Same here

[@nihan6886]

What a beautiful cover

[@blubblubston1452]

Wow, how have I not heard/seen this til now, great rendition Best cover of crystal ship I've heard thus far

[@gregingram1970]

fantastic cover...superb vocal. Le Bon is most certainly one the best live vocalists in the world today and despite the mighty Duran being teenybop pretty boys, they have proven and earned the credibility and respect that they should have had from the start of their career. 11/10 for the mighty Duran Duran.

[@maklausgazzaneu9887]

Duran duran perfect

[@tralfamadorian3081]

that was soliddd

[@faeryquene]

A heart-felt effort. I like how Simon pays tribute to Jim at the end for this great song. :)

[@adri472]

Love it! Simon has a wonderful voice.

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Excellent cover by Duran Duran. I think Jim would've liked it. :)

[@RayManzarekGod]

Doors-Worthy cover, really nice, you can hear the emotion coming through in this days voice, and he's a great singer too.

[@plasticbudgie]

reply to the hater's... see it this way.. have you ever sung or whistled to a song.. he is just listening to it and enjoying him self thus singing outloud.... he enjoyed him self leave him alone.

[@kelvinkloud]

simon proves hes the most emotive crooner of his era... as good as g michael is at ballads, would he be able to bring the needed sonorous soul & subtly that this song demands???... morrison was heavily influenced by sinatra & u can hear that line drawn to simon also... he gets the haunt & the sensouness into this that was morrison's signature... he did also w/in his own stylistic touches... very well done & not easy to pull off.

[@yajaira099023]

Well, Simon has his own charms, as well as talent, above all he is s* xy in his own way. ✨

[@gregingram1970]

dunno why you think duran duran woulndt do justice. of course they are proffessionals at music creation and performance with deep trough of talent.

[@manzarek88]

The Doors... the best band ever!!!!!!

[@Chris-lz1fs]

I was never into Duran Duran but I love this version of one of the more overlooked songs by The Doors. Simon LeBon's voice is remarkably similar to Jim Morrison's.

[@alb639]

I'm not a huge Duran Duran fan or anything...but some people don't realize these guys were the biggest thing in pop/rock music in the 80s for a hot minute.

[@jryland6]

I LOVE DD

[@gregingram1970]

thanks for the message response... yep duran duran always could play and always did write their own material and produce a lot too...i woulld be right in saying there are a lot of people who like them now in contrast to the 80s as they were labelled pretty boys but duran duran were style and substance. id go as far to say today they will be one of the best live bands in the world.

[@lunagaiaspath5069]

Well! You learn something every day. I had no idea that Duran Duran had covered this!! It's brilliant. I'm sure Jim would approve:)

[@The_Lizard_MX]

La canción más bella de The Doors, sin duda... muy buen cover...

[@williamdonnelly8532]

Fucksake!He and the band done this very well!...That whistle was haunting too!🎼🎸👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@antonioInMi]

[@colinpetty576]

[@CadillacL]

Wow! Wasn’t expecting that! Nice cover.

[@pollymolko6575]

Sorprendida quedé, no sabía de la existencia de este cover, excelente 🖤

[@Valentin-bw1qr]

Esta en el disco de Duran Duran Thank you

[@christinaescobedo9939]

Wow, proving again that Duran Duran isn't just a fluff bang. RIP Jim & THANK YOU DD! 🇬🇧🇺🇸💐🎤🚪🛳️

[@ppvk2610]

Wow! Really amazed, beautiful rendition Great way with the whistle too

[@RoRiodd]

i just melt with this version , simon looks so so in to it , so much passion , and warren is the best always !

[@andreabarcenas364]

[@zoelopez4541]

[@williiamm23]

jim would be proud well done

[@WillDrache]

loooooooooove the acoustic

[@melodiemelo4397]

Didn't know DD liked the doors... they kept surprising me

[@mayradaniela7]

What an amazing cover sang by duran duran first time ever hearing this song

[@janebraun4482]

I appreciate Simon's appreciation of this song. It tends to highlight the quality of Jim never to be duplicated.

[@clale1977]

great cover long live the king

[@christianestamm2655]

Awesome cover of a beautiful song. Love it.

[@zodiacbluesbaby]

Decent cover, the whistling sounds like a Spaghetti Western soundtrack. :)

[@1943Amalia]

No one like Jim Morrison. He was the one.

[@fernandaarize871]

😈

[@Uncanny_Valley152]

amen finally someone being mature.

[@CarlEvz13]

awsome cover

[@roybean7166]

Very good cover, of Doors song, my favorite rock band. Roy b, Cape Town, South africa 🇿🇦

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Bravo Bravo Bravo !!! I love musicians and poets as well as other artists, such gentle and kind souls Duran Duran , Soap & Skin and other artists honor The Doors and Jim and I thank you all ...

[@yajaira099023]

Thanks to duran duran I met the doors Good cover simon 💖

[@RoRiodd]

i love this cover !and i adore jim morrison , is so sad that he is no longer with us , a waste ! simon is so hot here and i love warren work too ! thanks for posting

[@nosuchthing8]

Not a fan of DD, but props for being bold enough to take on a Doors song. They did it justice.

[@jryland6]

I still have my old cassette. 😂

[@L4Z3RB0Y]

Killer cover...!

[@Lilian92PL]

Amazing version.

[@robbansalmi3742]

Great cover.

[@RoRiodd]

i love this cover , awesome warren , and such a amazing simon's effort from his heart , love it

[@klengetti]

Beautiful, soulful

[@RoRiodd]

i so love this cover !!!!!!!! awesome !

[@bauhaus77]

I see that this song is quite polarizing. I have to say that Simon does a pretty extraordinary job channeling Jim Morrison. I do think that classics have to be approached with caution, but in my opinion, Simon's performance is pretty amazing!

[@ACraig-og8tn]

lovely cover

[@izabrooks]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SO MUCH THIS IS SO GREAT

[@davidedward2352]

Very good cover, and I'm glad he doesn't sound exactly like Jim. That's not what covers are meant for.

[@candiceleigh5987]

I agree. I’m very particular about this song, but this is amazing and I love it.

[@brucekuehn4031]

He actually couldn’t if he tried. Jim was in very good voice when it was recorded. Nice whistle though!

[@rifk1741]

I love this and heard this before original...of course JM fans will be precious about their classic song and rightly so but at least Simon's love for the Doors means this is coming from his heart.

[@Dwayne31531]

I recall in the 80's Reading several times, that Simon Le Bon was a big fan of The Doors. I think he did a fine job with the Crystal Ship. It has a rather gothic, haunting feel to it thats beautiful. I think jim would have approved.

[@MrMojoRiesen1971]

not bad. one singer and one guitarist!

[@philo240]

Bravo Simon, Warren & of course the Doors.

[@BrunaClaptons2]

Perfect ❤

[@balinesa]

Divine. Love you Simon.

[@louisbucci4574]

The version isn't bad, but what I appreciate most is that Simon does his best to recreate an atmosphere that's impossible to recreate. I see him singing from the heart and that's amazing, I never thought the crystal ship would come out of Duran Duran. Googgle translate.

[@RHCPFL3A]

surprisingly good

[@jademm]

Simon in that red shirt looks absolutely delish! Oh...and it's a good cover song too.

[@RoRiodd]

amazing Warren, and ultra awesome sexy Simon, they are so talented. I love this cover!

[@RoRiodd]

Thank You is a covers album by Duran Duran released in April 1995, their follow-up to 1993's Duran Duran (The Wedding Album). It did well on the charts (reaching number 19 on the Billboard 200),but was received very negatively by critics ,..... and i love this !!!

[@eleonoraflorenciaarias7120]

hermosa version

[@stacey_d]

I love The Doors and Duran Duran. Wasn't expecting this though. Not bad. Simon actuaclly did a pretty good version.

[@MissNovemberTuesday]

My absolute favourite band covering a song I love by my second favourite band! I mean, what is not to love? Anyway, for those who are not so sure about this version, have a listen to the studio recording on the Thank You album with the rest of the band playing. This live cover was something where only Simon and Warren were present. It is very different from the Thank You version.

[@jaimesalinas7712]

No tenía idea que duran duran tocaban eté tema de ĺos doors y más encima unplugged excelente cover felicitaciones

[@082207]

nice.

[@almike73]

Jim is Jim. Period. Anyway I like the whistling idea...

[@P11GT]

very nice

[@williamdonnelly8532]

Who'd have thought?🎼👌

[@Nobreamiga]

AMEI esta versão! Show: Duran Duran - The Doors, muito bom!!!

[@maklausgazzaneu9887]

Adoro!!! I doors ilterpretati dai durans : l apoteosi!!!

[@KarenEng]

Awesome........

[@silviabevilacqua9233]

Fantastico

[@gianluigi-kn2tn]

Ottima cover

[@Hellishcrusade]

Well, I favourited this one because they were brave for doing it; they actually did take acid once or twice; and they had that popadelic-certain-something that Jim also had. There. Enjoy before you die.

[@moe_rm]

the whistle!!

[@MissNovemberTuesday]

@AmericanRailroads They performed it here, and decided to include it on Thank You.

[@MandasBoxers]

I love the doors and I gotta say this is Not bad!!

[@Samanosuke1138]

I think this is good. Really good. The album version is better. But, his voice matches the album well. I listened to both the original and this cover back to back and they sound almost exactly alike. In the album, they play it straight, so listen to that before you crit the live version. Compare those. Still, very good for the live. Huge DD and Doors fan btw.

[@maryyelps]

😍😍😍

[@Raed911]

@bluejazz51 ..... Yes my friend as you said , image gets in the way most of the times and of course this is a great cover ..

[@depaz1965]

very good

[@lisastallingskeelor3328]

And pulling off the whistling, wow. That’s hard to go.

[@rnrjukebox3725]

The show great musical taste. Lebon´s version is lower than Morrison´s one. But I love DD, . They have huge songs..

[@a.m.creativ]

This isn't too bad at all. I can't stand Duran Duran, but I give them some respect for doing this song justice.

[@oikoatha]

Acceptable

[@freakbiker]

Wow, always like DD but never thought he could pull this off. excellent, the only thing missing was Jim grittiness but the rest more than made up for it.

[@giannicoinu1098]
