[@Drummer_Jeff83]

@@Oh_I_Will wait.. no... For real??? 😞

[@billysapp5582]

I dug that dude's enthusiasm and yes that made his life for sure.

[@ericlewis217]

I don't think anyone kept the spirit of 60s music alive and embodied it more than Ray Manzarek.

[@foljs5858]

Jerry Garcia... Keith Richards...

[@mariewtz8922]

Yes yes Yes ........ ME

[@37Dionysos]

Proud to say I shook Ray's hand and talked with him at a Boston area trade show in the 90s.

[@brucekuehn4031]

Ray’s Classical training on full display along with his love of Bach.

[@marklarson3003]

Absolutely he brought Bach to rock great observation.

[@vancegill7063]

One of the most underrated musician's a pure gifted talent. You still got it Ray my man!! Way to go baby!! :-)

[@Bobsend]

Correction: He still had it. You must not know he’s dead now.

[@purpleway8008]

We miss you Ray... such a good person , R.I.P.

[@Daniel-cruz-363]

[@MagoEvaso]

After more than 40 years , now they are playing the greatest gig in the sky....

[@thedoors4m79]

I thank Ray for his art, his music and his spirit he has lived and traded on to us. And so Jim and Robbie and John. You were and are legends and inspirators... and will always be! Michael From Germany

[@edithibarra1143]

I’ll always come back to this video to help soothe my soul, please never delete.

[@galaxycacti8154]

This has always been my favorite doors song. Ray by himself gave me chills. The lyrics got me, but it really was Ray's vox that got me the first time I heard the song. I've always admired Manzarek's talent.

[@mickeyshooter5298]

The solo is sublime

[@jackellsworthsavage5384]

impossible not to cry

[@peteringhampi5]

Sends shivers down my spine!

[@joegongora2200]

Downright awesome because it sounds like a classical piece. Even though it came from a Rock song Ray Manzarek made it sound beautiful. The Crystal Ship is one of the best love songs of all time.

[@marklarson3003]

That is because Ray had classical training which ment he studied Bach so he naturally incorporated it into his arrangements he brought Bach to Rock.

[@jimalciere7988]

beautiful stuff, very psychedelic, very moving

[@xxtheendlessnightxx353]

Insane chills. My gosh this song is such a masterpiece.

[@darthrevan4570]

what a tragic loss....for us that is....heaven got a really legendary piano player out of the deal....

[@Goatchild90]

Rest in Peace to a real musician

[@cutypetuty]

I saw the remaining Doors play ten years ago and Ray said something there I will not forget, he warned us that the times now were very much like how the 1950s were and impetus to use the doors of perception so we should be very weary of it. He was so right.

[@riccardocondorelli2220]

this is so inspiring, really

[@jeankarlomendozacastillo2647]

Gracias por esa melodia señor Ray Manzarek. Un legado al Rock.

[@lisacorsetti6968]

Saw him the following winter in the Firehouse arts Center in Pleasanton California, another very small venue. Was incredible!

[@Donthecheese]

good to hear,,i wasn't sure how much work he did after seeing him,,

[@maxineoneillbananapeel]

Ray was always my favourite member of the band. Such speed, talent, grooviness

[@havesate]

What a great musician and such a kind person,rip

[@454cassul9]

Beautifull composition, & Ray was so gifted... All the four of them are/were. No other compositions excite me like their's.

[@janebraun4482]

Beautiful melody, I want to learn to play this! Even without Jim voice, so hauntingly beautiful!!

[@busstopbilly]

Wow...Ray had that meld between jazz and rock down just right...no one like them, ever.

[@virvisquevir3320]

busstopbilly - And classical - he was greatly influenced by Bach.

[@jeanpierrelefrouse9729]

Your vibrations are always with us. RIP

[@tomaszklimanek6662]

Magic. The song which is the cure for bad mood. RIP Ray.

[@lorimeyers9847]

Ray was the reason for me to pick up my piano again. Thank you. RIP Ray Manzarek

[@xdra31]

I've just discovered this song The Crystal Ship and I'm so in love with it, I can't get enough! So great to hear a piano version with none other than the great Ray Manzarek playing! The Doors were amazing. RIP Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek.

[@LeeZimmerman187]

who would have been a better keyboard soul than Ray? RIP Ray we are still listening, I started in 1967. Still trying to break on thru..

[@briankeevan8134]

All 4 were crucial to the band as a whole, but Manzarek was something special in all of late 60’s rock music.

[@julianamusic380]

This is just lovely. R.I.P Ray ♥

[@avapardoe6487]

It takes you to a beautiful place.No mean feat in a ugly world

[@stevel3030]

I can listen to him play all day!

[@kakazinhorj]

no word in the world to describes this song.........genius

[@visinianthony1300]

Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back, I'll drop a line

[@francescodelgesso6013]

Inside this masterpiece there Is the best solo of the whole rock universe! Ray, will meet again...❤️

[@mickeyshooter5298]

I can’t get enough of that solo. It’s beyond words. Beautiful. This man was once in a million talented . I only wish I could have met him just once

[@AANDA104]

The world lose a big musical brain and big genius of music...thank Ray for all poemes write from you! :-(

[@rzu7120]

One of my favorite Doors songs, played by my favorite Doors member.

[@marklarson3003]

Ray brought Bach to rock.

[@Aguz25]

Jim was the words of The Doors, Ray was the music. Without them both there's no more Doors...now The Doors are part of the eternity. RIP Ray.

[@patriciofernandez2711]

He got me into playing keys ten years ago, changed my life forever.

[@jackellsworthsavage5384]

can't hear this tearless

[@ktkt1825]

The very heart and soul of Doors music- you experience the entire story, all else is supporting cast. George Winston, a genius in his own right, credits Manzarek for his beginnings.

[@stevel3030]

Goes to show that age means nothing when you are musically blessed Rip Ray

[@martinbe5111]

stevEL3030 do you even arthritis

[@mytunes7886]

Man imagine how great these songs woulda been if Jim hadn't passed. Listen to how much crystal ship had progressed !! Jazz heaven

[@cimmik]

People talk about rebirths. When Ray leaved I felt like The Doors redied.

[@ralphbenites1819]

Great preference .rest in piece ray. You lead the way for other keyboardes to follow 🎹

[@Wolvereyne]

So much meories in my head to this great song and im only 32..The Doors....Long live music like this

[@lancecharlett1761]

If I had to articulate the level of love and gratitude that I have for my deceased parents and find the perfect way to convey this. Well, you just listened to it.

[@shootermav11]

A genius , of a musician!.....

[@allisjames]

What a great performance. And what a tribute to Jim. Ray will be missed.

[@Metemi]

The days are dark and filled with pain, enclose me in your gentle rain.

[@jonathanpoole5316]

This is the first time I heard the keyboards isolated I had to listen twice thanks man fawesome!❤️

[@charmicarmicat2978]

What a great man,he will be present forever.

[@Mae77]

I know I told this before here... but almost 10 years of his death, I want to do an "up"... I share a drink with him; he signed my "Other Voices" vinyl and had a conversation about 20-30 mins (I lost the sense of time that day). Join when my 10 nephew were born, that was the most amazing day of my life. I miss you Ray. Life is boring without u :-(

[@fasieh7331]

[@nathaliaromero5333]

Conte sempre , eu amo ler comentários 😊😊

[@kakazinhorj]

Simplesmente genial. Um dos melhores músicos da história do rock. Tive a grata oportunidade de vê-lo com Krieger e Ian Astburry. Faz falta, mas muita falta.

Ray brought Bach to rock. He was the musical backbone of the Doors. A great musician

[@timberwolf2543]

I could listen to Ray play this over and over again if he were still here. RIP Ray.

[@lissoliz]

such a perfect marriage: jim's voice and ray's keyboard. this is my favorite song from the doors. thank you.

[@cynthiaklenk6313]

What incredible musicianship!! Just beautiful and very nearly classical in texture.... Thank you Ray - you are so missed - just as my other main man - Stevie Ray (Vaughan) Must be quite a jam going on up in heaven.........

[@realityczechplease]

When i watch this i think that this is the greatest song ever written in history by anyone. Indescribable beauty.

[@whoseyourdaddyful]

gdamn would i loved to have been at that gig, i love the small shit

[@cesarmathlazinca8283]

La única banda de rock ácido que combino el teatro con la música; un organo electronico excepcional que perdura hasta nuestros dias solo para gente que sabe sentir la verdadera música entre los ideales y la rebeldía solo se manifiestan en un intento¡¡¡¡

[@midnightowl401]

It seems life is leaving us behind when you hear and see these amazing artists gone forever.

[@Aguz25]

At least we got lot of Ray's and The Doors music in the last ten years, cause he decided to go back to the road with Robbie. Thanks Ray.

[@shootermav11]

beautiful.....wish I could have been there. It sounds like it was an intimate night, with Ray.
