[@milansasich4613]

When I saw the Doors live, at the University of Michigan, on Oct 20th, 1967,they played the entire Light My Fire album from top to bottom, without a break. After the concert was over (it was homecoming for all of us letter winners) we didn't even see Jim and the band leave the stage. 10 or so minutes later, we asked ourselves " What the hell just happened ". The Doors mesmerized and hypnotized us for 10 minutes AFTER they had already gone. That, to me, is what The Doors did...to everyone. Rest in Peace, Mr.Jim Morrison. You were one of a kind. ❤

[@Lunaticradiohead]

By reading your comment it also just makes me mesmerized too. It's amazing to know people that are still alive and kicking who have watched the doors live. What a treasure. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience. Do you have more to tell? Please do. Its fantastic and exclusive. Hugs from Portugal. Miguel Batista

[@robertcooney1938]

Cool story. I was born in 1982 but get very nostalgic about the the 1960s and also the 1920s. Pretty strange, maybe past lives. I'll see stuff like Doors concerts, Stones concerts, The Andy Griffith show, Sullivan, etc. and it's like I was there.

[@scottwilson1251]

I was about to say they did the entire self titled album for that show because that was all the material they had up that point outside of a rendition of Gloria and a few others. But Strange Days had just come out in September of '67, so to see them do the entire 1st album top to bottom, they might not have ever done that anywhere else, you sir are lucky.

Jims voice is literally perfect. If he stayed sober in his later career, imagine what could've been.... the real GOAT

[@milosbogovac7117]

Jim was never really sober during his career and probably would have never been as creative as he was if it wasn't for booze and drugs

[@LiLNAGiSA]

WRONG, Jim was sober before his career, ofcourse he has tried drugs before even the band was made, but after the rehearsals and first couple of performances, yes , yes he would do as much as he wanted to. Jim was already so smart and knew about the energy of different substance effects. Not just him but anyone would of done the same.

[@frogsterjonesiii6482]

Doors formed in 1965. This was 1969 and he died in 1971. So this IS the latter part of his career. Around this time he put down the psychedelics and picked up the bottle.

The "Things that areknown..." quote is Jim Morrison quoting William Blake. I became aDoors fan in 1971 when the LA Woman album wasreleased, I was 15. The Doors were "our" band they being from LA and so were my friends and I, grew up in Altadena and Pasadena CA. Overthe years I've read everything I can getmy hands on about the band and have combed everywhere for every bootleg and also all of Ray Manzarek's records. Being too young to have seen the band my best friend and I used to see Ray Manzarek every chance we could get. And saw Robbie Kreiger play the Whisky when he had the band Red Shift. But Ray was always our favorite, he carried the Doors torch and did it well. The last time I saw Ray was in 2010 in Sacramento and I was lucky enough to be able to chat with him for a bit. I'll be 66 in 8 days from this posting. To all of you fellow Doors fans, carry on and Peace!

​@@hartcityparanormal115Strange how certain fans perceive a concert. I have no issue with the Hollywood Bowl show, but Morrison was mostly subdued in that compared to this. Now that could've been the rumor that he dropped acid before it, or it could've been because Mick Jagger was watching, as they discussed beforehand how to use these bigger stages that bands were starting to play. Jagger basically learned what not to do from that show and I know alot of Doors fans that thought it was a boring show.

[@MattPinard]

Then you didn't read it close enough, Jim was a prophet, Second Son of Mary incarnate, I know this because his signing voice was mine and all the lyrics we wrote together have since come true, I have his same middle name, and same mole on the left side of my face and if you heard me sing in a studio you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, we are twin Sons of Mary hosting one body, Jim was reborn/reincarnated 1974 thus, this is his book, if you don't believe me read the lyrics to Shaman's Blues and listening to the recording where two distinct voices are heard

[@MattPinard]

@Jacob Frank I agree with you Peace and Love, but lack of belief in Jim's true spiritual identity given to him from birth by St. Mary doesn't make that fact untrue and if you don't believe what I'm saying I've a photo of a veiled woman above the sun to show you:)

You're not alnone, I love that awsome yet harshly treated album. I love the orchestration and don't consider it a downside but a feature which makes the album outstanding and unique in its atmosphere as it doesn't spoil anything to me, it suits the songs nicely, and sometimes even add some psychodelic vibe the simillar way it does in the Yellow Submarine LP by the Beatles. I can't understand why people demand the Doors to sound the same on each album. I enjoy the album for what it is.

Это выступление самое лучшее которое я видел, даже выступление в европе 1968 не было так эмоционально исполнено Джимом как здесь. 20 раз за день я переслушиваю эту песню

[@RobertoZadik-en8zc]

What a band, what a Song and a fantastic Morrison charisma and theatrical personality. One of the best all time Doors performance

[@LizardKing4371]

Ray throwing fireballs. So godly.

[@johnbrownwasright]

Da-yamn. They nailed that one. That's how professionals do it.

[@aghahashim]

Phenomenal ! What a performance!

[@upsidedowndreamer8724]

No matter how tousled, self-destructive, and spiraling out of control he became as a person, Jim Morrison never lost his creative brilliance or unparalleled charisma as the shamanic frontman he was, who the world tragically lost too soon.

[@nugsymalone1247]

"All our lives we sweat and save, building for a shallow grave" All my decades of listening to the doors, I've never seen this live. Very cool

[@lopolik]

The scream YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER, is even more crazy in the studio version.

[@coradierker6717]

It's crazier in the album Absolutely Live. With the crazy sound with the guitar and the screaming voice

[@79tazman]

The Doors ROCK I just love this tune

[@deheckler]

Morrison Lives!!

[@michaeltootikian4402]

The Doors a great band

[@TheKingTubby1]

what a trip.... and performing at their uppermost level

[@CANEPUNK]

I wish I could’ve watched them live in concert.

[@jakefisher1070]

Leo Jim there shows always got cancelled or interrupted which was what made the Doors a legacy to Music freedom love sex drugs and Rock n Roll

[@BudsCartoon]

I never got to see them live, obviously as I was born in 77, but I was fortunate enough to be at the VH1 storytellers filming.

[@DiaperGranny11]

@Bryant Pace there appears to be a stick jutting out of your sphincter

[@pauldudakadanielthomson8890]

You and about 100 million of us others also.

[@rezbonez8139]

Its a damn shame to be born in the wrong era

[@robertozadik7499]

Morrison was one of the best performer ever..charisma, theatrical upstanding, expressive mysterious energy..very extreme and eccessive when he was ok he reached the top..great live tv show for an underrated masterpiece poem as the Soft Parade..fantastic..

[@lloydclaussen9132]

Actor as much as singer

[@chrisspohn777]

Crazy he nailed the vocal..

[@KingCrimson82]

absolutely, cant wrap my head around how brutal this is, performmance and voice.

[@mafemartinez2235]

Just like the album.. even the screaming

[@ingridthurner3651]

Unreachable.

[@MrCretemaniam]

This just shows how Jim and his brothers could do anything that they tried . And to the guy who said best front man ever... You nailed that one brother ! anyone who understands this music knows that it's beyond words how much we love it....!!!
