The Doors - Break On Through (Toronto 1969)

[@707alibaba]

In Toronto in the 60'sI saw The Beatles , The Stones, James Brown, Creedence, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin at The Rock Pile, Steppenwolf, Procul Harum,Blind Faith,The Band, Johnny Winter, Sly and The Family Stone, The Who,Janis Joplin,Grateful Dead, Traffic, Mountain,Ten Years After, and of course John Lennon and the Plastic Onno Band with the Doors that night at Varsity and for my money no one beats The Doors the way they played that night Thank God I was there

Varsity Stadium Toronto Canada 1969

[@kelvinkloud]

there is a lot of '77 elvis in this performance. its obvious jim is road weary here. not to mention mentally fatigued & physically not well. ck out any of the photos or accounts of him at this performance, he didnt look good, nor was he in a good state of mind. yet, like elvis' last year, he still refused to go softly into that good night. hes still putting his passion & balls on the line here. you can still hear the danger & passion in his bruised baritone.

[@Ltmyfire]

I was there !!!

[@edcrawf]

I love the live raw sound of this recording. Also didn't know that this was all part of Lennon playing in 1969 during his first solo performance. If that is true, then just amazing. I've read a lot on the Beatles. Did the Doors and Beatles ever meet up? I've never heard of any meetings between the two.

[@mattitheswed]

great song

[@tamaraspanehl3710]

Guten Morgen, mein betörender, umwerfender JIMI!! Bis später!

[@llamasarus1]

@ThePrimeDirective your right. rap is just a fad that will only last a few more years till its not cool anymore. this type of music is lasting.

[@Wombatherde]

Geile Musik!

[@coolboy30000]

rumor is that he never died he just wanted to take on a life form which is the spirit

[@hikageniko]

@shellystuart well, i think every music genre can be good, not all singers or rap musicans or what ever, but there are some people who make great rap music... Yeah my english sucks :o

[@GrizzlTooth]

DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF CLASSIC ROCK DIE!!!

[@JIBruning]

whats the date on this concert in 1969?

[@llamasarus1]

@LANORDA9 i see what you mean but im talking about raps current state. i don't have a problem with old school rap. I'm just talking about todays arrogant rap. After all, genres evolve over time and rock's influence is dying really fast. thats disappointing.

[@LANORDA9]

@llamasarus1 Im not a fan of rap but I wouldn't hardly call it a fad. It's been around since the 70's. Fads don't stay around for decades. We should all remember that many during that time also though this kind of music was terrible also. It's all subjective to the listener.

[@mckessa17]

@theactor19 Varsity Stadium

[@BioracMilan]

ВРАТА!

[@RealAgentOfSHIELD]

If it was such a "spirited" performance, then why did The Doors refuse to be filmed capturing their "spirited" performance. Take it as it comes (pardon the expression), but that particular Doors gig was crap. Its just my opinion, it won't ruin one of the greatest bands in history. You can't always bat a 1,000 in every game. As for Lennon, I loved the rawness of the first public concert of the Plastic Ono Band. Its too bad the Beatles didn't play live in the latter 60s, they would have rocked.

[@johnnynbk]

his vocals were always dead on... and short hair.

[@openedto]

blues make real blues. noone recommends them whos had them.

[@lotorobly]

yep it's great, it seems like he is letting the whole frog in his throath mouth out nd shout off all of the song *jumping

[@pex320]

Quit comparig doors to rap, cause most of you think lil wayne is rap and don't know shit about real rap. the door cannot be comared now shut up and listen to good music which we can all agree is gone now.

[@ctendillg]

Check my version, I think it is almost as good as this one

[@scottharrison3391]

Jim was drunk in this concert

[@Amrir7]

Frankly spoken, you haven't understood nothing about Blues.

[@finchused18]

The Doors are among my top 3 best bands of all time, however I think you're being unfair to rap. I am far from a regular fan but if you look into "classic" rap songs, they are good musically and lyrically they are often genius. I think you're just branding what you hear on the radio as "rap" because that is agreeably crap. I just try to approach music with an open mind. Specific genres are not a requirement for music to be "good".

[@ziggytig]

Cant spell "crap" without "rap"

[@RealAgentOfSHIELD]

In the Toronto pictures, Jim looks like a bum. And that self-inflicted haircut, he's no Jay Sebring. And the performance was one of the low points for The Doors, which was why it was never filmed unlike the other acts in the Rock n' Roll revival: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, John Lennon, et al. The Doors were sludge in that gig.
