The Doors channel is the official KZbin home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.
With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.
The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger - a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

[@donfraser8619]

In 1969 I was 14, always having lived in Liverpool, having heard the Beatles from day one of their output. I'd heard the Beach Boys, Motown, the Stones, the Who and many more justifiable legends besides. And then one night in my cousin's house I heard the album Strange Days. It knocked me into another dimension, and I'm still orbiting it as I near 70 courtesy of all their other music. The Doors were and still are phenomenal - end of!

[@ARCE_ANGELS-en4pg]

all of those bands are good, gotta love the classics

[@jennklein1917]

I agree🎉🎉

[@the_local_bigamist]

I have loads of Scouser friends and lived in the city for a long time. I can't imagine how vibrant the scene must've been in those days. But you're right about The Doors - they are unique, no one sounds quite like them, no one has ever tried to copy them (that I'm aware of) and it would be impossible anyway. Such a unique set up instrumentally and also Jim Morrison's lyrics/poetry are on another plane. Truly a stand-out in rock and roll history. Jim Morrison inspired so many with his stage persona too, namely Iggy Pop I think who also carved out a niche with The Stooges and then his solo stuff, working with Bowie. Iggy's collection of stuff is where you'll find something which sounds closest to The Doors but still not quite.

[@stevencoardvenice]

I'm born and raised in LA and I've been to many of the Doors' old haunts, over the year. The clubs they played at in the 60s are still open on sunset Blvd, like the Whiskey, etc.. Riders on the Storm is awesome. Perfect for driving down pacific coast highway late at night.. SoCal in the 70s being the world capital of "killers on the road" lol @46:10 is the best part

FUN FACT: Paul Rothchild who produced all 5 studio albums prior to L A Woman, began producing this album and got 3 tracks down including "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm", but quit after they recorded "Love Her Madly", hating the song, calling it "cocktail music". Engineer Bruce Botnik took over and the rest is Doors history.

Totally agree. The Doors are easily one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. L.A. Woman is a great album and an all time classic. From 1967-1971 The Doors released 6 studio albums, all of which are all time classic albums. For a band to release that many albums of such high quality during such a relatively short period of time (4 years) is remarkable.

I received this album in vinyl form from a previous roommate and friend several years ago. He said he found it thrifting for under a dollar years prior and he was ready to part with it. I liked it a lot and after owning it for a couple of years I began to dive deeper into live recordings, reading numerous books on Jim Morrison and The Doors- I was so intrigued and pleasured with what I continued to find! In 2016 I got hit on the shoulder of the road as I was pulled over to send a text message. Traumatic brain injury, hemorrhaging of the brain and a week long coma. My short memory was suddenly so poor afterwards and it was so difficult to remember what I was doing at any time. I began to dive back into the doors and An American Prayer specifically- listening to all of it every day until I had every lyric instilled within me. It helped me so much in my recovery and still does to this day and now I wear MR MOJO RISIN tattooed on my arm. A groovy anagram. I hope I can thank Jim one day- and the rest of the members for what they gave me. X

It's got more tracks, and is dialed in better than earlier records. There is not a bad Doors album. They're all worth a listen.

It was springtime '71 and the release of this album created a huge buzz in our high school. I remember many discussions about it in my homeroom class. The rounded corners of the album cover generated a lot of comment. No one had ever seen an album cover shaped like that before. At the time, it was considered almost as revolutionary as the Sergeant Pepper album cover. With Love Her Madly rising up the charts and summer break about to begin, it was a heady time for fans of the 'Doors. Then a few weeks later, we got the news from Paris... I blame it all on L'America and it's so-called justice system for hounding Jim into fleeing the country. He didn't do anything in Miami that warranted the way that they persecuted him. Once he was in Paris, he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He either scored some bad dope or snorted some.of Pam's that he mistakenly thought was coke. He probably never would have went to Paris if it wasn't for the government's prosecution of him.

No pictures or police investigation . Burried before anyone could see him. Insane, it's Jimbo!!! Aneay, the Princed covered it up, dropped Pam like someday cigarette... she lost everything cause she was dumb and an addict more than a drug user. She became a crackwhore, literally six for hits.

Having the bass player off Elvis's band sure made a big deal wish he was there on every album would have really helped Jim out. The only guy that could really hang with Jim and hold his own

After hearing other remasters of this album the 1999, 2007, 1993 DCC Steve Hoffman, 2000/2007 stereo and 5.1 Remix i didn't think this album could sound any better. With this remaster the instruments are better separated and you can hear more clarity in the recordings. Great job Bruce!

[@dustylover100]

Love It.

[@bryanbooher8675]

This album proved The Doors still had a ton left in the tank. Had Jim lived, I think Scheff/Beno would’ve become regular players in the band and they would’ve toured with them, possibly making more albums too. Think of the live Doors show that could’ve been with a beefed up sound and a more sober Jim. Wasn’t meant to be. But this album JAMS.

I'm not sure about Scheff, cause he was touring with Elvis regularly, but Benno could've been a full-time member for sure. I always felt a little bit sorry for him, he never got the acknowledgement he deserved for. He was a great guitar player and not bad songwriter too.

Memories of being 16 and listening to LA Woman in my friend’s car, late night on the weekend after partying all night, maybe a bit stoned, out in the sticks of Virginia, and just letting the music envelope us. Miss those times.

[@patriciathewisher2315]

My very favourite Doors song is Touch Me. I don’t think I’ve ever quite recovered from being a teenager and seeing Jim et al. on the Ed Sullivan show. Still takes my breath away thinking about it. My mother was made to watch and listen too as she walked about tidying up. Bet she was as impressed as I was.

"I need someone, yeah, who doesn't need me." "It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play." -- I love Hyacinth House. Love the whole album.

[@DazHousego]

Well said

[@kelvinkloud]

how about: 'never saw a woman SO alone' .... when you consider metaphorically, the woman was LA itself. the leading media capital of the world. microcosm of the manufacturing of amer culture, envy, media etc. An increasing empty pit of narcissism. Addictive envy. once played out thru its lineal course, one only ends up more craven & unsatisfied. wh/ takes you back full circle to a society, increasingly connected, yet inversely more and more alone. He nailed it in 6 words.
