The Doors Wake Up/Light My Fire Live at Hollywood Bowl 1968 5 July

[@agentstarkk]

I would encourage everyone who digs this to watch the concert in its entirety. The band's music behind Jim's spoken word is incredible to say the least.

[@cassiusjb]

Link?

[@johnnytable9217]

where i can watch the whole thing ?

[@Blackkey034]

Jim is big gay

[@snoogeyoulose9231]

On "Tubi" it's free

[@dustythe2nd188]

Yes I have seen it and I must say I agree to the max. Jim is really something different. Always was and always will be the most different of ANY band ever imo.

[@jamiecross999]

The part where he screams "WAKE UP!" .... I use that as my alarm on my phone to get up every morning at Stupid O' Clock..Thanks Jim.

[@superfungus947]

Jamie Cross LITERALLY SAME HERE HOLY SHIT

[@Squiggles95]

Wish I was alive back then to see them :( all time favorite band hands down. RIP Jim and Ray! Your music will live on forever!

[@Squiggles95]

nhra fast At least you still got to grow up in a generation with actual good music. There's very few artists from my generation that are good. But I don't see any of them on legendary status like Jim was...

[@CherylHShannon]

Amen, agree 100%

[@vichi6368]

You're right, but the only one came to mi mind would Rush. They also play a great music. I would love to live on that generation with identity.

I saw them in 67 at the Cheetah Club, Venice Beach.....I was on a hit of Blue Cheer acid and they blew my mind.

[@garypiatt9481]

Two of my brother and I had the pleasure of seeing them live, in '68. Great show. My oldest brother is a musician and had the honor of jamming with Ray!!

[@MJSpiritual]

R.I.P Ray. You Broke on Through to the Other Side and now you and Morrison are playing the great Gig in the sky.

[@zachoneill2000]

MJSpiritual great reference and great song

[@tlaloc9624]

great cross over 😤👌👌

[@sethcopeland4362]

This tantric noir plays out in front of stoned kids with sparklers, some of them with girlfriends who are only there because "Hello I Love You" was nice. Morrison gives a nuanced performance of opaque but passionately rendered poetry over caveman jazz. And when it climaxes and some poor lysergic kid in the audience starts crying, the snare shot comes like Highway 61, and the audience feels the release, the reward for listening, and the band proceeds to play a solid rendition of their most celebrated song. There is no major pop act today practicing this type of artful, natural madness.

[@majorwatt8146]

[@dimitargjorgievski9971]

The magic that comes out of Ray’s keyboard

[@caribman10]

..JIm doesn't even blink when the firecrackers go off...and this performance is a perfect example of Things You Cannot Do Any More On Stage. Jim gives his keyboard and guitar players all the time and room they want/need to solo, while he grooves/hangs out on stage/smoke a cigarette(bums a match)/plays maracas and just when he needs to, when The Moment is really right, he does a twirling jump and brings in the finale...masterwork. At 6:00 the air for the guitar solo gets played, but it isn't until 6:06 that a drum backing falls behind it to propel it into its ecstasy. I dare ANY modern rock and roll group to get up on a stage and be this loose...and this tight...and this good.

[@fasieh7331]

Lmao thats because his eyes were closed.

[@lalligatti9979]

I think that jamming on stage is forbidden today. You must learn and play every single detail in a "professional way" and stuff like that...

[@caribman10]

@@lalligatti9979 Yeah, that bullshit human jukebox stuff. I once read an interview of Rush's manager who said that Neal Peart had to play the drum line in their songs precisely because he "didn't want to disappoint the air drummers in the audience". For real. "Air drummers", those talent-free jerks who thrash around like they think you can when you actually play the drums. Pathetic.

[@caribman10]

[@tonyajohnson1059]

This is a masterpiece...The keyboard , drums, and guitar is what possessed the Shaman...Jim was a shape shifter and traveled from one she to another..Jim was the PERFECT man.. Looks, brains, wit, craziness and daring,talented, intelligent.Jim was a Greek god..And a renaissance man..a poet..His energy is still strong seeing mere footage.,Jim was the connection of the cosmos.

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

WOW. WHAT A MARVELOUSLY INTREIGING INTERPRETATION OF THE LATE J.M.EACH CONCERT I CAUGHT REINFORCES YOUR WORDS, THOUGH I NEVER QUITE PUT THEM TOGETHER LIKE U DID. HIS "FATAL FLAW" LED TO HIS DEMISE. BREIFLY, I EMULATED HIM, SPIRALED DOWNWARD, THEN PULLED MYSELF UP & OUTWARD BY MY "BOOT HEELS". LUCKY ME.STILL "JAM " ALONG TO "THE DOORS" MUSIC.

[@EsgotinVidaPorcaa]

The doors was the best thing that has ever happened to this world.

[@davidhernandez9985]

A very radical song for that time & classic poet .

[@LightningDogg]

I was about 12-13 when the Doors hit the scene and immediately bought every LP as they came out (vinyl-look it up) much to my dad's dismay. Back then certain songs made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I still get that today. Somehow this music transcended 1966 and still sounds like nothing before or since. Don't believe me?... Look up some of the other chart toppers that year...Association, Monkees, Turtles, Buckinghams, Tommy James. Even the Beatles hit that year was All You Need Is Love...not one of their most pioneering songs. JM-one of a kind. Ray Manzarek played the keyboard melodies with his right hand and the bass line with his left (they had no bass player). John Densmore possibly the most underrated rock drummer of all time with his jazz fills and smallish jazz type drum kit. Robbie Krieger not the most dazzling player (I think he auditioned at 18 yrs old) and managed to work a blues based slide guitar into many of their songs.My 22 yr old daughter has When The Music's Over, among other Doors hits, on her play list. I say LONG LIVE THE DOORS!!!

[@LightningDogg]

Edit: released January 1967

[@ovenproof9905]

Well it was recorded in 1966 so you weren't really that wrong.

[@juannavarro5487]
