The Doors Build me a woman

[@wildcard4671]

Everybody always goes on about Jim Morrison and how good of a front man he was but you've got to admit the doors won't have been the same without Ray

[@cameirotorpedo5861]

And John and Robby

[@aliceflores5025]

Very true... I just watched the documentary.."Break On THRU" 2/12/2020.🎶 Manzarek IS A genius!!

[@classicrock8763]

The doors wouldn’t be the doors without any of them Jim John ray and Robby

[@malkinmalone]

I listened to the doors just non stop in high school. that was in the 1990’s. i guess every year there is a new group of 16 year olds falling in love with the doors. theyre is just no one else like them.

[@niccolobertolazzi1516]

The Doors wouldn't have ever exist without Ray.

[@YklewOcramaloc]

This is the BEST version of "Build me a Woman" I just Love it!! Long Live Jim!

[@damianmartinez2666]

Well said, Jude999. I agree heartily! Love this version of Build Me A Woman!

[@doorsfunatic]

I seen them in 1970, almost got to meet Jim, I was about 8ft from him. Girl! he was beautiful!! I can honestly say I was, as you put it, intoxicated by his presence. Since then and even til today, no one has ever made me feel that way. The concert was awesome. If I had 3 wishes, one would be to go back to that day.

[@Slerpaderprecordings]

agreed. i think it was lao tzu who said that the best leaders guide the masses without the masses knowing that they are being led. the same probably goes for guitarists.

[@ROBxSKATE]

too drunk ?! he wasn't drunk if you watch the whole performance, just because he doesn't stick to the usual forma it didn't mean he was drunk he is well known for improvisational skills too, i hate it when people prefer referring to him as a drunk singer instead of the genius poet he really was

[@tanyavon523]

To me Jim is looking at his brothers and truly admiring them. He thought they were brilliant and gifted. He loved them.

[@Cushed]

makes me wanna run out the door and buy a bottle of whisky. The Doors' music is drinkin' music. ..makes you feel all these different things, it's soul music...you get your own meanings out of it... 'I need someone who doesn't need me'

[@davidliddle8586]

Robby Is one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard

[@Poetikaliz]

everytime I observe Ray, I wonder how he managed to play like that! This is what made The Doors something else! they were not like other bands all pulling and pushing in front of the cameras. You can see the focus in every single artist here. Love them all!

[@lemurianchick]

The sound of the organ was so unique. RIP Ray!

[@Poetikaliz]

yes, it was and we can still listen to Ray. When I type on my PC I think of Ray so I start typing really fast LOL

[@aneudyulozada8929]

Elizabeth Faitarone they were perfect

[@Poetikaliz]

Aneudyù Lozada absolutely right! beyond correct ! what a band what great musicians! still nowadays we only get to listen to the doors very rarely. in the UK Real XS Manchester plays Riders or break on through but very rarely, not even mentioning the chart radios!

[@jeffreybeshears8211]

Not enough Densmore closeups Dude was seriously underrated

[@loganferti278]

He's amazing in Land Ho. Maybe his best drumming ever

[@jude999]

He was special because a jazz drummer really.

For the record; this is April 1969. 'The Soft Parade' performance from this program is incredible, I highly recommend it. LYJ.

Ray was the musical backbone of the Doors.

[@ashleybaran9264]

No body better than Jim Morrison

[@heyman6821]

They were all just as important as each other in and to this music. Doors fans know that it couldn’t have been any other line up.

[@reynazarate4787]

RAY MANZAREK, CREADOR DEL SINGULAR SONIDO DE THE DOORS. A DOS AÑOS DE SU PARTIDA. DESCANSE EN PAZ. GRACIAS, RAY. Raymond Daniel Manczarek (Chicago, Illinois, 12 de febrero de 1939 - Rosenheim, Baviera, 20 de mayo de 2013) fue un músico, cantante, productor, director de cine y escritor estadounidense. Fue cofundador y teclista de la banda de rock The Doors entre 1965 y 1973, y en The Doors of the 21th Century (luego Manzarek - Krieger) desde 2001. Sus primeras notas en el piano fueron a los nueve años. Fue pianista de The Doors entre 1965 y 1973; hasta 1971 la banda actuó con su formación original compuesta también por Jim Morrison (voz), Robby Krieger (guitarrista) y John Densmore (baterista).

[@cletusmax77]

Ray Manzarek was the glue that held this band together, musically, imo.

[@missmama3900]

They all worked as one well oiled machine... No other band in the history of all time like them and never will be again.... truly amazing ❤❤❤

By far the best recording of build me a woman (imo). Something about this version is just mesmerizing.

[@Contact_Info]

Jim wrote the song too, 100% his

[@cymru1978]

WHOA! Robby Krieger w/ a Les Paul? Haven't seen that before...love them Les Paul "Black Beauties" and I totally dig Robby's unique Flamenco guitar style. Rock on and R.i.P. Jim.

[@PaddyMurphyCork]

He used that guitar for slide

[@shotterslife]

he had a much higher space than most of us have...i will always adore his poetry!

[@SaumBodhi]

This is my favorite band right here.

[@EricBoston1992]

The slide Robbie is using is actually the lid of a bottle. This video is from a DVD, and later in the DVD there's an interview with Robbie and he talks about it. You just wrap a rag around the bottle, and smash the bottom of the bottle, and keep the top.

[@frankez1975]

I love the Doors best in two configurations: slow blues and ballads.

[@mattigrooves7843]

Phenomenal. To think that Jim would be dead in less than a year later, after this performance, sends shivers over me.

[@winnizkid]

This was recorded in 1969. He died in 1971.

[@edry888]

no words... just true artists.

[@Deathshuck]

Just look at Manzarek... bass on left hand and keyboard on right hand, and after Jim died, he even sang. What amazing talent.. Nowadays, you'd have 3 people doing all that.

Love the sheared wine bottle neck Robbie is using to get a bluesy sound. This was the first time Jim sported a full beard in public with The Doors. In Miami it was much more cultivated.

jim morrison had a drinking problem long before that, and yeah i can connect to him and the alcohalism he had, because im becoming one my self. yo can hear the feelings and emotions in his singing. usually when someone sings blues and is acually sad, it makes it feel real to everyone listening. even though it was a bad time for jim he still managed to sing and thats what makes it special to me.

[@divinespark4842]

Fuckin A, brother! I've had a few shitty cards dealt to me in life and drinking booze is the only way I can deal with it. A lot of people are alcoholics and don't even know it. I'm probably one myself, but I embrace it. I love a good drink! Sometimes it even gives you the jolt your body needs. Anyway, for those that like a good drink and listen to The Doors playing the blues .... keep rockin', yo!

He was 25 but looked 40.. That's what happens when you drink 3 liters of Whisky per day + smoke 60 cigarettes, snort cocaine and take every kind of acid. It was pure self destruction.. He was talented but suicidal. Sad.

[@Yonpol2X]

Grace slick from Jefferson airplane recounted an anecdote from when they were on tour in Europe with The Doors, in which while walking through the streets of Amsterdam, fans would approach them to offer them all kinds of drugs. They accepted them but did not consume them for obvious reasons. However, Jim took the ones that were given to him and the ones that were given to others. That night Jim had to be hospitalized for an overdose and The Doors had to go on stage without Jim.
