The Doors Five to One Live at Madison Square Garden 1969 and Video Footage

[@rekunta]

The Doors are one of the few bands that sound nearly identical in live performances to their albums.

[@missmama3900]

Better!

[@larjenec]

@@missmama3900 I think 100000000000000000000% beter......

[@markbrookes6915]

Every time I watch the doors live I get the chills to think how fucking good they were raw to the bone insane

[@petervincelli9201]

I was at this show - fucked up on LSD. Talk about an experience.

[@420Gold]

if thats true (which i have no real idea since this is the internet), you have no idea how jealous i am.

[@franzstrip]

swim424 absolutely

[@JudgeJulieLit]

@@420Gold So was I (but never tried LSD). Jim's concerts were fantastic; they were artistic "happenings" ... one never knew what he'd do next. They played much as on their albums, but too improvised a lot. And as above, he'd give occasional little aside talks to the audience.

[@radostinvasilev599]

So what lsd does to you? Did you meet Morrison? What was those concerts about? Now I guess just a shadow left.

[@janicepowell109]

Did Morrison enter your soul? Was there some real input ? I ask cos I only know him second hand x

[@Johnnynbk]

listen to that beat. the dawn of deathrock.

[@joseyguiz6394]

One of the best Robbie Krieger solos in my opinion. I believe the addition of Harvey Brooks on Bass helped keep the band tight and on course as much as possible this night.

[@rlundquest]

Hell yeah.. still the most original

[@CoronaGuy]

@@rlundquestnah the beat originally from Hoi Hoi Ya Hoi by P Ramlee

[@PersonalVx]

4:20 Damn Robby! 🔥🎸

[@klengetti]

GOD, how I wish I was a part of all this

[@mayaa5048]

kitty- God our hevenly Father doesn't have anything to do with this. Don't take the name of the Lord in vain. Blasphemy is a sin.

[@bluewendigo672]

U 'll shit....on ure pants dude. Believe me. THE DOORS wasn't a joke.

[@rlundquest]

Exactly, I'd trade years off my life to go back in time to be there

[@ooeygooeydewey2960]

I would go celibate to see The Doors play one time

[@jamesblackwood5130]

Some great rare footage 👍

[@Jmriccitelli]

Rock on Jim...rock on....

[@RobertoCarmona13]

best live version!

[@scottsummers4115]

Greatest band of all. the doors 😎

[@eddiecruiser687]

🤔

[@westtexas7]

​@eddiecrBuiser687 The best band of the 60s along with the Beatles.

[@wendynaguero]

Happy Early Birthday Jim 3

[@joaopauloalves8707]

So good!

[@marcofalzone6469]

begs the long unanswered question: WHY ARE THERE SO LITTLE QUALITY Live FILM OF THE DOORS in their own time??

[@f0rmaggi0]

Marco Falzone because they only had toastervision back then, sorry.

[@ovenproof9905]

f0rmaggi0 But look at live at the Hollywood Bowl

[@jasonsalazar8430]

A lot of their stuff was recorded but scrapped or never allowed to see the light of day

[@yungmuthafucka1409]

Because The Doors were trying to start a revolution. You can't have the backing of the establishment on that.

[@CombatMedic1O]

The establishment of this planet destroyed it all. All the good stuff. No way would they let It out.

[@atalante888]

Trop génial thanks!!!

[@stimpie8178]

Robbie Ray John & jim...need I say more...RIP BROS

[@djlizzybtmtheone95]

From 0:01 'James Pamela' (expletive) *fantastic!* Smiley face.

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Your ballroom days are over baby!!

[@willg.6168]

The Wall is undefeated!

[@davidgo8874]

4:28 those lyrics aren't in the radio version. Been a fan of the Doors for over 20 years and I never heard that part lol

[@Groovysmokes23]

he and the rest of the band members improvised in almost every live performance

[@f92fabulous56]

Psycadelic le son pour résumé du bon, des sons à la iron butterfly, Led zep, de la mouvance de l époque la plus belle, les néo nirvana s y retrouveront avant-gardiste, cosmique, du doors

[@jdmintegradp]

The song doesn't match the lp version that we are watching, however you can tell that the sound of the video including the song was a live performance event. It was a lp with bunch of edited videos slapped on together to fill the lp because there probably isn't one considering how long ago it was.

[@tamaraspanehl3710]

Gute Nacht, mein unendlich geliebter JIMI!!

[@charlesurban62]

They got the guns..but WE got the numbers!

[@keithstone6349]

wow Wow"

[@EMC2Scotia]

Miami is not far way...a reduction to the level of absurdity. To end it all, but of course there was no ending it.

[@tamaraspanehl3710]

Get together at least 5000 times......

[@ubet6691]

My man 😼

[@Macknsteez]

do you have any of the footage with its' original audio?

[@GargleMyMayonaze]

I'm fucked up on LSD now he he

[@waos8971]

hahahaha LSD in a doors concert .... you lucky man really fucking lucky

[@stefybeat]

fantasticoo

[@kolakek9342]

HD version pls💝

[@guitargrader9094]

These guys could put on a show! Made Elvis look like a dork..

[@islipperyfellow6487]

Not really. Different eras. Elvis was rock and roll. The doors were psychedelic/acid rock. So music and performance would obviously be very different. Elvis was very mobile and a zestful performer while Morrison was immobile. In fact, in most concerts, Jim never even moved away from the microphone at all, compared to contemporary artists such as Jagger who evidently had made such a name for his enthusiastic performances that a song was written about him - "moves like jagger". You might remember Elvis from the late 70s but any time before that, it was exhausting just seeing him shaking his legs and dancing and singing from one end of the stage to the other. Again, two very different genres, hence, two very different approaches. Elvis' gyrating hips wouldn't be well suited to blues/psychedelic rock and likewise, Jim's immobile position and slurring and cussing would feel very out of place in upbeat rock and roll.

[@strengthandbulkMadness]

Let’s not go overboard. Jim was inspired by Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and Frank Sinatra. I’d say he had the voice of Sinatra, looks of Elvis and edginess of Vincent.

[@davidprobe623]

Where are these clips found

[@tomaszdarski7270]

Jim took one of the biggest salaries for this concert and because of that he wasn't himself in Miami

[@janicepowell109]

They are the most original band of the sixties. Who was doing live theatre then , in the mainstream....the Stooges, maybe......

[@skeletonkey6]

the Stooge were never mainstream, and especially not in the late '60s...watch the Gimme Danger documentary and it'll give you an idea of how successful they were

[@celticfire9881]

Was this from “ The Absolutely Live” Album?

[@coily7776]

NOPE..!!

[@lerouxsylvain6103]

Jimbo

[@tommclaughlin280]

The film & the sounddtrack are out of synch, Morrison is singing & the film is showing him with his mouth completely closed. Unless he is a ventriloquist, something is noticably off here. Watch & see.

[@abelcabrera6490]

jaja me gustaria el saludo...andava bien zombie..

[@mayaa5048]

abel cabrera- el siempre andaba así. Es triste que alguien con talento tenga la necesidad de estar en ese estado.

[@1984stef1984]

I gotta get FUCKED UP

[@INDLIS]

When in 1969 did this concert take place?

[@LizGage]

January 24

[@stephenmobray2710]

The video certainly does not match the sound.

[@robertbaker2993]

Footage is Awful

[@Oi325]

Footage of them is rare

[@getofly313]

Gold

[@missmama3900]

Greatful for every raw rare footage i see..
