The Doors - Back Door Man

[@chrisleete7379]

Great artist on a downward spiral. Grabbed life by the balls and made a bigger impact in a scant few years than most people do in a lifetime.

[@mojorising551]

Coulda had more to say…

[@ImFromTheShelter]

This might be one of the best versions of this song that I've heard...So chill and puts you in a trance almost. Really unique.

[@shadybizz8967]

love robby krieger one of my favorite guitarists but he is a one trick pony. but he is really, really good at that one trick.

[@dazednconfused-r4o]

​​@@shadybizz8967and what's that trick? Because he played blues (Back Door Man, Roadhouse Blues), jazzy rock (Lost Little Girl, Riders on the storm), psychedelic rock (Light My Fire, When the Music's Over, the End), flamenco (Spanish Caravan) and many unique and interesting rhythm guitar parts on many other Doors songs as well. Definitely not a one trick pony

[@dbodooley]

Jim had an incredible rock voice! The doors are legendary!!

[@kvl505]

Good God! Jim could belt out a tune. What a voice. The brilliance of The Doors lives on.

[@SixbulletRussianRoul]

Love how Robbie never uses a pick! he's so talented easily underrated.

All four of them, genius musicians. The Doors; the greatest band of all time. Jim Morrison's voice, absolutely breathtaking.

[@truemansparks]

Jims evil laugh love it!

[@JHE1970FTW]

Jim morrisons voice is so haunting he sends chills down my spine

[@koriepfrank]

I think Jim was haunted by his own intelligence and creativity. That would explain his need for an escape. His look and everything he did examplified art in its most raw and beautiful form. Rest in Peace friend to all.

[@maccweisbbergteasers]

Ray is the best keyboard player ever! The Doors is poetries and good music!

Very right guys! But I stil keep Ray as the best because the simple and incredible band he had! No much instruments like Pink Floyd had alive or any other band....but they are all great!

[@samuelbasye3508]

And John Lord

[@borisbalta2542]

Best band ever.

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

Amazing to see how Jim RELISHES singing it , look at him he really is still SO into it and he would have performed it 100's of times at that stage that blatant relish just gives the whole thing that extra wow factor and we know we bear witness to something INCREDIBLE

[@TedBronson1918]

From what I understand, Jim was shy and often sang with eyes closed. At the very beginning he wouldn't even face the audience while performing. I think your "into it" was actually booze or something else, plus his shyness.

[@morrison7513]

Incredible vocal extension, great!

[@Lauraap91]

this performance is only one word worth: AMAZING!

[@DarkoAtanasov]

Simply a piece of art. Jim in his twenties like a veteran.

[@pacificoast82]

WAKE UP! ...as Jim said again and again. If you're going to comment, then inform yourself. The Doors were not hippies or a "hippie band". Jim despised hippies, and saw them as leeches on society. ...Thrilled to see all the footage with him imploring the audience to wake up to life. It's more fitting now than ever.

[@Mohini52]

Not a hippie. Just and drunk and a drug addict who trashed his body until it quit on him. He was an accidental rock musician. He was a mess.

[@pacificoast82]

He wasn't a drug addict. Inform yourself. He was sadly, genetically alcoholic. Calling him "a drunk" indicates that you don't understand alcoholism. It's also an extremely antiquated way of viewing what we now know to be a genetic predisposition. Perhaps it's better to be grateful that you don't have it, or perhaps you do, or it's in your family. Why does his tragedy anger you? He passed 42 years ago. What's the anger about? He was brilliant.

[@Mohini52]

Your opinion. he was a drunk and a drug addict. You first choose to drink and take drugs then you become addicted then they say you have a disease. Anger? That,s your imagination. He called himself an accidental musician. He thought poorly of himself.

"when all else fails we can whip the horses eyes and make them sleep and cry" are you sleepy? Wake UP!

[@KGuy4U2Hugg]

The Doors and Jim Morrison--one of the best ever. There's a timeless quality to their music. Never copied because the poetic aspect of the lyrics, and his voice, are unique.

[@74LesPaul]

Krieger is a fantastic guitarist. Seeing one of his solo shows you come too appreciate the talent that the guy has.

[@robertwjtaylor]

What a total amazing work of Art with Jim and the Doors!

[@niekdouwes8957]

To only imagine Jim was only 26 at this performance. Pure genius

[@hassannmalvarez]

[@joeydibuono]

"Back Door Man" is a blues song written by Willie Dixon for Howlin' Wolf, released by Chess Records as a B-side to Wolf's "Wang Dang Doodle" in 1961 (catalog no. 1777). The song is considered a classic of Chicago blues. Just found that

[@stustig9430]

Jim's voice comes from another side of the universe - powerful. He is stoned off his balls as usual.

[@keepitwitmine]

Drrrruuuuunnnnk. That was his thang

[@MicheleBize]

I don't think so...He had the terrible period of the Miami concert..he was tired to live...more than stoned

Man, what talent! Even when Morrison seems incoherent he sings better than anyone current. "I eat more chicken than a man ever seen", dam right Jim. RIP

[@TheLordMuzzy]

No one can do Jim like Jim.

[@Aztechyian]

never noticed just how cool that little finishing flourish at the end is by John Densmore - man the doors knew how to construct a tune. Each band member was a piece of genius. Combined they are phenomenol.

[@doronsheetrit6490]

Notice how Jim is looking for the camera at 03:05 , This man was a natural rockstar , that was his curse too..

[@diegotremaria2531]

Beautiful song, that solo makes my skin shine.

Jim was such a cool looking individual. The chicks dug him and the guys wanted his voice. I've always wanted his voice, such raw power and emotion mixed with talent. Hats off to an amazing set of musicians and people.

what a great set of musicians nowadays people hardly know how to produce such music with such basic instruments

[@justtalk5970]

Jim's otherworldly vocals as always. Robbie goin off on the guitar to give it some spice. Ray the backbone holding the signature doors sound. And how about John's drumming especially at the end. Reasons this band will always be my favorite.

Incredible. I've never seen this footage before. It's great to see Jim in control. This was the same year he went ballistic in Miami.

[@mussman717word]

Robby Krieger is so underrated, man. I think I subconsiously try to play like him all the time. He's such a legend, I mean, what a bad-ass. Then, one could say that about each and every one of The Doors. Like the Beatles, they're inseperable.

The Doors invented ALTERNATIVE music. Was it jazz, was it rock, was it blues, were the lyrics poetry or epic or blather, was he a crooner or a screamer? Well, it's all that, perfectly balanced, and concentrated in only a five year span. Musical gods at the very least.
