HOW I PLAY: WHEN THE MUSICS OVER (the Doors) Vox Continental & Fender Rhodes Piano Bass Thomas Vogt

When the music´s over of the DOORS!
I played this tune on the 1967 VOX CONTINENTAL & 1968 FENDER RHODES PIANO BASS driven both by the Fender Twin Reverb Amp of 1974. (sorry that´s why the sound is not quite good + the impact of a camera audio record only)
the BASS lowest E KEY is signed by RAY MANZAREK HIMSELF!
Note: this is only to show you how you could play this song. It´s not my goal to reproduce as close as can be the original tune of Ray´s playing. I do play like my own mood is. Everytime the song sounds different... Else please comment/check other guys on clips who try to reproduce Ray. Just jamming, keep the spirit alive!
Attention: Everything I do contains mistakes!!!
Keep the spirit alive :-)

Best keyboard cover of this song on KZbin

[@chrisbrennan6230]

I would go to church more often if an organist played songs like this as well as you! you're incredible.

[@wangson]

ha! i hear that!

[@nathanmcdonald610]

All praise the lizard king!

[@thomaspick4123]

At church, they gave up on the organ. Maintenance costs too high. Now they use a piano, guitar, perhaps tambourine.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

I love the Vox Continental, It really is the sound of The Doors.

[@THEPINKFLOYDIANS]

I felt that from my head all the way to the tips of my toes,,,,,, Magnificent Thomas.

[@whimreaper8603]

My Respects And Greetings From Monterrey Mexico You made the skin of my son almost cry of emotion, he is 20 years old and he loves doors

[@martyleyeti]

With guys playing like you do, man, I'm telling you : the Music is never over. Great talent, great interpretation, that's just great. Congrats Man

[@nyfox1267]

Playing When the musics over by the doors at 4:00AM at MAX volume to wake up neighbors should be the title. you rocked it.

[@Wegster64]

sounds wicked and that signed PianoBass is sick

[@lofination1323]

I like how you go by the basic swing of the song but also put your own bluesy twist into it

[@customcopy]

You killed it and you’re right about playing it different every time I believe that’s the way the song was intended to be played One of my favorite Ray songs

[@polara01]

Thomas, that was so freaking good I totally forgot there was once a whole band playing along with this and I didn't even care! Your passion and intensity is jaw-dropping you swing this like Tarzan damn! Gotta play it again...

[@ThrashRoC]

0:28 to 0:40 is heavenly ; thanks

[@joegongora2200]

Purely dark & incredible. Of course that's the way this particular song should be played.You certainly do justice to this song. Ray Manzarek brought that particular song to life. The way it was done gives us an idea. Or insight as to how Ray Manzarek played this song. You did a superb job of it.

[@PLNTGMING]

Very good job...

[@sparky1510]

Wow! I'm astonished by this great performance.

[@hijo1998]

You just brought my idea of learning e-organ back!

[@jaceonkingi]

Just curious, did you get back to organs? :)

[@janbeetsma66]

Im so obsessed with this tune

[@san5a89]

the vox continental was the best one.... what a sound!

[@jonnicklison449]

Awesome skills ❤

[@johnhanek167]

Awesome dude! Would love to hear you live doing a gig! Oh, long for the days when we had REAL music!

[@liamhoward2208]

Even got the manzarek head bob. Sounds fantastic!!!

[@bob4analog]

I absolutely love the Vox, especially the vibrato! Excellent knock up of the Doors, you nailed it, mate!

That's great. Love that sound

[@joegongora2200]

Thanks for showing interest showing interest in my comment. Especially how this song was played. Thanks for showing interest in my comment. Take Care and have a wonderful day.

[@VogtThomas]

best is not to think about - let it go - left hand is doing what is needed to be done as it is part of the right hand . (this) music (especially doors) is being created by their own

[@errorsofmodernism9715]

sounds excellent

[@СветланаУварова-у7ч]

[@dominicshakeshaft2567]

5:09 that rip back in on top of everything already yeah

[@peterstanton4283]

This by far is the best sounding VOX I ever heard, sounds exactly like the Doors. How did he get it to sound so incredible? I heard lots of reverb, what else? what's the model make of this one, some sound different?

[@VogtThomas]

hi peter, the resulting sound of the (any) Vox depends on the amp & speaker setup you are using. the entire organ itslf (dry sound) is to be honest, not that nice. you need a amp which gives you the ability to overdrive a little bit, add some spring reverb and go for it - nothing else. Meanwhile i have the original BOSS amp of Jordan which the doors used early times 67,68... even better then in the video attached Fender twin revern am of the mid 70s. I will take a video with the boss amp very soon... this item sounds really like the doors did! :-) here my post on that one: www.morrisonhotel.de/single-post/2015/05/06/Backstage-with-The-Toxic-Void

[@peterstanton4283]

Wow, thanks so much for the reply. My one regret is I never saw the Doors live, but you sure bring it back to life with that sound, it's awesome! btw, do you know how to play Iron Butterfly's "In a Gadda da Vida", they used a similar VOX, right? The intro is easy, but there's this long organ solo (right after the long drum solo) which I tried to figure out, but I can't. Could I make a request for you to play it, please show your hands if you do so I can cheat and copy it, thanks so much :)

[@peterstanton4283]

Ok, I saw the link, great! Now that explains how they got that sound. Doors is my all time favorite rock band, what a shame Morrison left us so early. Keep up the great work, fantastic!

[@petpet691821]

is simple, 1 day play only the left hand,the other day play only the right hand and the 3st day play 2 hand together but very slowly...(if is yet difficult play all notes of the bass riff-lick in normal tempo for the left hand but press only 1 or some notes for the right hand per every meter )

[@richardstorry435]

Lovely

[@Papajankypot]

Hot damn!

[@SmackeralJoe]

sweet. I know how to play it now.

[@rolandberendonck3900]

Insane!!! :D

[@ton-t4b]

Uaaaau!!! Top.

[@VogtThomas]

basically i "learned" playing music (before doors as well) by listening what the musicians were doing and tried to "recreate". This, for me, was the most effective and the best "results" at all. For sure i "tried" sheet music as well but for me it´s to "stiff" - watching the notes (and their values) - i cant perform with that in realtime within a good result. So i skipped "doors sheet music" as fast as i could because it creates itself by just happening;-) doors songs are never the same...

[@nicolaonorato2759]

Top top top top

[@TommyRobinsoncat]

really the best thanks

[@LudwolfBeethozart1485]

3:54-5:07 This organ piece can save humanity from the extinction

[@VogtThomas]

could be really one of the last options crazy humanity has before night arrives presenting the end - what the heck are people be able to - why why why

[@VogtThomas]

i dont remember exactly: one of the first doors tunes i rehearsed were When the musics over and Light my Fire (intro only took me a week): I remember my Mom said, after a while I had to use earphones: you can take them off - its getting on my nerves even you play without :-) How long will you keep trying this? Ah - until i got all the songs ;-) HA! (after a while it got quicker learning because the structure is quite the same)...

[@fanderory6422]

Ray Manzarek was your teacher,no?

[@VogtThomas]

for some reason yes ;-) - i just listened to many live concert recordings and finally found my "own" style/way which is simply me - i did not practise that much note by note... finally happens mostly everytime i play different

[@donatas20000]

Same

[@Jojoairbus]

Daaamn, this was fucking awesome!

[@gazhat]

I'll simply just add to the several comments below the same thing, that sounds fucking awseome :)

[@Wonka275]

Same setup as me! '68 Piano Bass and '67 Connie!

[@VogtThomas]

my silver sparkle piano Bass is from 1972

[@brihog1963]

have seen several of your vids on youtube and you're playing is top notch. I've played in a Doors tribute band since the early 90s and have never been able to get my '67 vox to sound as rich as yours. I'm happy with it but this takes it to another level, more like the sound Ray got out of his in the studio. Gotta be the amp, right? Any info you can give on how you get the tone so sweet feel free to share!

[@VogtThomas]

Brian Hukill thanks! this goes way much along with the tube amp (and setting) you use. For me the best working one is the fender twin reverb or Jordan the boss amp (check my latest one with Jordan amp which sounds more like the doors pbs television show sound) really nice

[@brihog1963]

@@VogtThomas , Thanks for the tip. Interestingly enough the twin is the amp our guitar play uses. Will have to try it out. Here's a tip for you. Bought the new vox continental (Korg). Has excellent, rhodes, wurly, and hammond sounds for all the great studio sounds. The wurly sounds especially nice for Queen of the HWY. Worth every penny. Now if I could only fit my piano bass on top :)

[@VogtThomas]

@@brihog1963 pretty interested how the new korg sounds... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5a2o4aGost-Y9U in meanwhile i have the E- piano expansion installed which is really nice on Fantom G7...

[@DawnDowdell]

holy fucking shit bro

[@martinjaviervergara2288]

cooll that sinple

[@mcswing2001]

amazing! how are you amplifying the rhodes and the vox??? keep that up!

[@VogtThomas]

in this vid by a fender twin reverb ´74 only; usually the piano bass i´m running through a tube amp called "winston GA-200" by fender bassman cabinet & Gibson organ through the twin 74 and/or the Continental through the rare Jordan "the Boss"

[@LunaIsOnYoutube]

Vox organs always sound good no matter the song

[@VogtThomas]

thx - meanwhile 10y back the audio recording on mobile phones and on studio hardware anyhow improved- so my new videos will sound better than this one

[@VogtThomas]

same one video recording - i always "wondered"" that the vox cover/tolex looks quite orange which is in real more red

[@VogtThomas]

at this mark the keys are the same as before 0:27 onwards only with different timing. thats all. Beginning is different using only e2bd,e2ac#,e2e2gb,e2e2ac#,e2ac#... 0:27 on same like beginning + e3 on each chord - later on hold e3 rest like beginning... that´s it!! :-)

[@Digerati-Zone]

wow - i cannot conceive.. what a great job on it.. wish i could figure this out how to work both hands at same time - did u learn from sheet music..?

[@michaelchacinski6952]

this is fucking awesome

dig it

[@scottptolomey3498]

Fucking love THIS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ekcta3a412]

So fckin great, thank you

[@thomaspick4123]

I like your playing. Turn off the reverb. Clean up the sound, no distortion. Include overhead shots, so we can watch your fingers.
