THE DOORS | Mr. Mojo Risin': The Story of L.A. Woman Q&A and Performance

[@TheF86Sabre]

The most unique and original sounding band in rock history, great fucking band!

[@sohooded]

TheF86Sabre I agree with you 100%.That was back when music and life was sweet, soulful, innovative and magical..

[@rickklinger8685]

Right On.

[@DannyGadish]

and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

[@theonlyantony]

What about the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band, for 'original'-sounding, or The Silver Apples? I think the Doors are one of the greatest band and minds - i love 'em, but a lot of what they did, musically-speaking was already covered by the Zombies. They are a power Zombies - plus Morrison. i love both bands but it takes a few minutes to look it up. And remember 'She's not there' was released mid-1964! Sure they came on and they had the genius of Morrison but Britain was ahead, in those days, musically - for the next 20 years too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6WZaYSYiryJhq8 I rest my case.

[@Nobody-br1rq]

theonlyantony nigga what case? It's some ones opinion

[@Tracey..H]

This band had 4 completely diverse members. Flamingo guitars, latin/jazz drumming, blues, classical keys and a poet, crooner madman. What a synergy. Love The Doors. America's greatest band

[@coolraul77]

I can imagine Jim and Ray sitting on these huge speakers behind them and watching this with great smile on their faces.

[@humanentity2214]

Yes, wish I saw them perform in person. Religious experience , as some describe it

[@susannemarra1018]

They are!

[@boeschdavid]

That was a Doors performance. You can sense the whole band reflected in these two and hear the missing echoes of Jim and Ray. Beautiful.

[@GleasonTennisOC]

Yes , I kept seeing Jim in the heavens dancing that Native American dance he used to do through this whole mini concert. He seemed happy. They really are all brothers. Jim & Ray miss them.

[@Deyan_B_Travels]

I felt that 100% when John was reciting Jim's poem! Like they were all there!!!

robby krieger most underated guitar player,especially love his acoustic playing on spanish caravan

[@MrVinman711]

Densmore was underrated as well.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

overshadowed by Morrison

[@PxoDRUMMER]

They were all amazing. If you really listen to the music, you can appreciate everything they did. Jim had amazing lyrics and a great voice but the guys playing around him; John, Ray, and Robby, were all so special.

[@jamiecruickshank2690]

Totally agree Mate. The End, LA Woman, to name only 2, fantastic guitar playing. The guitar on the End is just absolutely hypnotic. Love these guys.

[@talkingvegetable3538]

MOST EVERY DOOR'S STUDIO SONG HAS ACOUSTIC GUITAR OVERDUBBED by Robby Kreiger

[@Spitnchicklets]

I love these guys, they are so cool, normal people who have a great talent. Not pompous or arrogant, just regular folks like you and me.

[@NYESmusic]

Robby is the most chilled out dude ever.

[@visualonestudio]

Ray put out of documentary film (a collection of film recordings they had) and they all are very soft spoken. Granted it was the weed, but they were not the boozed up, hyperactive drug addicts people would think.

[@getofly313]

[@tonymontanascokestash]

[@billowchuck3398]

[@heatherharrington2563]

I just love Robby. He’s probably one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history, and a great guy. He has a quiet, cool, and funny side that is unique and it seems like he would be fun to be around.

[@bongodave13]

The Doors took the world by storm. There was nothing like them at the time, and 50 years later, there still isn't. I feel fortunate to have enjoyed their unique sound all these years. There's just nothing else like it.

[@yellingelk]

John Densmore is flat out my fav drummer of all time... he had such an intensity about his playing and he was right in the pocket of the song 'all the time'. He never played anything for no reason... he had a real drama about his playing. And for a guy who never used a pick... Robby Kreiger could really rock it out too... his guitar had a lot of attack for a guy who only used his fingers.

[@Nix11999]

On old footage you could see robby had long finger nails. Acted like a couple picks lol

[@frankiebutler2894]

nickserio35 Also, in an old interview, there was much scurrying around to find a nail file, as Robbie had damaged a nail.

I am crying while seeing this. I miss Jim Morrison. And I love Robby Krieger even more now. Such a gentle human being. And John Densmore at his witty best. Love this.

[@lynnturman8157]

These are two of my favorite rock musicians ever. Always very musical, always served the song, always had huge ears...

[@paradox7743]

Great to see Robbie and John together!

[@silverfox6883]

Yes. Pity John wouldn't play with Robby & Ray in Doors of the 21st Century ...

[@iverstim]

Robbie plays Rays parts in addition to his... all the while John is keeping the beat super tight. These are true musicians

[@bloodpoetvids]

Brought tears to my eyes for the transparency of the past, present and future.. Wow, just wow..

[@maxrebo26]

The wisdom and humility of these guys is inspiring, and that's what makes Door's music so powerful even to this day. It simply transcends time.

[@andreipavel310]

I am so sorry for discovering this only now. It's undeniable that John and Robby can still goddamn deliver after so many years - fantastic performance from those two Doors that haven't been shut just yet!

[@swannoir]

Wow. The Doors were just absolutely dripping with talent. What a treat to see Robby and John play together again. I love the way they relate to each other and can easily imagine Jim and Ray looking down, smiling.

[@jimmypage7300]

At 50:00 I actually thought it was Jim speaking poetry trough a recorded speaker but it was John. Now that John is old he sounds more like Jim.

[@wowledzep]

It's ghost song

[@paulhaynes7522]

This was brilliant, keeping the dream alive for all the doors fans!

[@vomit49894]

Nice! The Doors forever!

[@MelesaEFary]

I really loved the interaction between Robbie and John! Two really old friends who know each other so well! I know John had lawsuits against Ray and Robbie for playing the Doors music in concert and using the "Doors" name! I am happy they let bygones be gone and moved on!! I have seen a few interviews with Robbie but tonight he just was so funny and he kept everybody laughing! Thank you

[@LoweringMyProfile]

I am too. I hated hear about them being adversarial toward one another, busted up and at each others throats. I'm glad that they put all of the friction behind them, reconciled, and came back together as musical brothers. May God continue to bless and prosper them.

[@dbc7772011]

Wow, Robby's playing at the end of Riders was incredible. I always thought that was a piano part. They are what, in their 70's? What unsung, hmm pun unintentional, talent and longevity.

[@SurfDog85]

It is incredible but it is played on the piano.

[@jorgepeterbarton]

its a Rhodes piano by Ray but its much much easier on a piano i can tell you that!

[@mugiwaraMorrison]

If I can even play, 1/1000th of what they are able to do now, in my prime. I will consider myself to be blessed. Real musicians. They inspire me so much. RIP Ray Manzarek, RIP Jim.

[@timphillips233]

You guys were definitive explorers in your genre of music and style

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

I love this version of “People are Strange” It would’ve been unreal to have an unplugged concert with Jim, Ray, Robbie, and John.

[@riffdigger2133]

To watch his thumb and index finger on the side-camera view on Take 2 of Spanish Caravan is really something. The acoustic guitar amplified with overdrive gets all the tonal frequencies and sustain. When we heard the song in the late 60’s on our primitive record players on fresh vinyl without scratches it was mind blowing. We had absolutely no idea Robby took the intro from "Asturias," a classical piece by Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz. Then he pushed the solo through a fuzz box. When we studied the album cover I can still picture that moment, holding WAITING FOR THE SUN. Who are they? What does this mean? Then flipping over the album cover, Morrison leading them, silhouetted against a pink background. Melancholy. Romance. Message. Music. Poetry. Songwriting. Electrify. Jazz drumming. I reached out to bassist Doug Lubahn just before he passed. He played on the first 2 albums only. The conversation here between John and Robby about Spanish Caravan completes the Loop for me. Thank you for reading.

[@parodi56]

backstage, (helping move local bands' gear outta the way after a Battle Of The Bands as part of Homecoming Festivities) as a young high school student in a small midwestern town in the late 60's, these guys & Densmore brushed by me moving their own equipment in...each responsible for his own stuff, while Jim ah uhm ...relaxed out in the limo close by the rear entrance....I could go on & on about the show that night, but just let me say - the DOORS live- were in their element spread out across the stage even then as much they were on the vinyls yet to come... thanks guys

[@TheStupidcomment]

Great performance of Riders on the Storm. Even a version like this has the power to mesmerize.

[@cgvlilith1]

Maravilhoso de se ver e ouvir! Sempre!

[@michaelgriffith4110]

God they were so special of a group. 2 of the 4 left and still doing it strong like day 1. I woulda loved a full album like this

[@Keifer-D]

OH MAN!! I was listening to the whole thing. when the Riders On The Storm lead part came near the end, I was hearing just from my cell phone and I closed my eyes and turned my head back and forth, left and right, over and over..... It WAS the sound they had!!!! it pans back and forth. try it!! great interview! loved every part. it was raw, funny and life fullfilling as there are parts we didnt know about the band and Jim. such a jewel of diamonds to behold of the Doors and you two fabulous musicians. Thank You!! I listened to it again. close your eyes and move your cellphone back and forth around your head. move it slow, then speed it up. It is Pure Magic... so beautiful, like it was meant to be. just lovely..

[@callmehuman1664]

I admire these guys! I really want to just sit with them and talk about anything! They seem so cool and chill.

[@axiomist1076]

Wooowwww !!!! That was the best hour Ive spent in a looong time ! What a great pair of musicians. The 4 songs were like a blessing from the gods. Two gods !

[@chasz8487]

Densmore, Kreiger and Manzarek are individually AMAZING MUSCIANS and very under rated. Then Jim Morrison adds poetic Lyrics on an unpresidented scale and that is THE DOORS. Till this day nobody sounds like The Doors. Their fan base continues to grow their music will live forever. Love that John and Robby reunited

[@yellowlabs619]

i feel so bad for these two especially losing a great keyboard artist like Ray and not having Jim around, they were such great band, always love the doors

[@gypsy380]

[@ballantine58]

Wow !! This is very cool. Bravo...bravo 🙌

[@SuperStrik9]

Love the Doors. Easily one of my top 5 bands of all time. You can definitely hear that Morricone/Spaghetti Western influence on Riders On The Storm.

[@ammoalamo6485]

Their rendition of Riders on the Storm was a great display of Robbie Krieger's skill as a guitarist. He manages to get much of Ray Manzarek's bass and electric piano lines in with his own lead guitar, with a fun foray into Ghost Riders In The Sky to boot. Krieger even gets the 'rainfall' notes, one of Manzarek's master strokes for the tune, into the mix. I am amazed that the guy could play at such a high level well into his 60s.

[@LuddyVonBeat]

Well into his 70s

[@foookboiDatMan]

It was truly beautiful. 2 out of 4 and the music still is just as amazing

[@LoveintheshapeofaPitBull]

[@alexisbelton7574]

[@KenKaplanpch]

Setting aside raw talent and originality Densmore & Robby are such class guys with a very fun and humorous side. Morrison was lucky to find the other 3 Doors. And vise versa

[@pankajawasthimusic]

Thanks folks for this wonderfull moment! I allways wear The Doors in my heart ,noo matter where i go..they are part of my life Cheers

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

That was just great !!!

[@ustheserfs]

there's a salient moment when John's eyes meet Robby's after suggesting they perform a few in the spirit of their past. it's a dynamic connection that brings past full circle with present yet knowing the outcome would be ever so different with Jim and Ray's absence.

[@tim.timothy.brennan]

[@flavadog17]

Gosh I really wish Jim and Ray were still with us today so they could all jam together and I could experience a Doors show live! I often wonder how different the rock world would be right now if Jim hadn't left us so early, how many more GREAT albums they would have had, all the unwritten pages of poetry we could've read, and how much more creativity it all would have inspired....damn, Jim you left us too soon! Rest in peace.

[@skullguy165]

Absolutely awesome guys right on!

[@joewagner4593]

Robbie says, "had Jim not stayed in Paris." I wonder if that's how he coped with losing a friend, especially since they never saw Jim or confirmed he actually was buried. They also talked about Ray in present tense. RIP Jim and Ray

[@zeffie100]

I loved every 54 minutes of this video..!

[@PGComet]

The Doors are one of the best banks in history. Like Beethoven and Mozart they will still be playing the Doors 200 years from now. Whereas many 60s groups are already long forgotten. They were all four good musicians but there was something magical when they got together. Like Jim said four corners of a diamond. None were as good by themselves without the other thee, not even Jim. I think John is the most down to earth common sense of them but they were all out there! Like cosmic music. Robbie seems to be the one who says it like it is though.

that was totally awesome!!!!! thank you all who where involved , and of course The doors!

[@corbindallas18]

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for posting this : )

[@TangleF50]

Too often by the public and now even Robby and John refer to LA Woman as the "last" album. I always consider An American Prayer the last studio album. Jim's haunting voice brought The Doors together for another classic, which they covered in part here w/ John doing the spoken verse. Talk about strange. The two remaining Doors together after all these yrs. It seems a long, long, time ago that magic & myth were created by The Doors. Although in this simple set, Robby & John revealed the magic is still there. Timeless music!

[@corinnefrusciante3706]

TangleF50 An American prayer was a pure money making quest after Jim died. I personally think they should’ve released the poetry tapes, unedited, flaws and all and while I do have an appreciation for American prayer, particularly feast of friends, the final product was so incredibly edited that it removes it completely from the original. Which was just Jim’s desire to record his poetry. When it’s taken so far from that it ceases to become a doors album, particularly when an important member of the band was dead and had no further input

[@dennybarlau8065]

[@philfrank9226]

[@MeatWisdom]

I was hoping that John and Robby would reconcile after Ray passed, so I'm glad to see this. Like that example with The Monkees, it also took the passing of Ronnie James Dio to get Ozzy to come back to Black Sabbath and really focus on that next album. Now granted that time around Ozzy was simply more focused on his solo career as opposed to having any sort of animosity, but Dio's death made them all realize their own mortality, and if a new Sabbath album with Ozzy was going to happen, it better be soon. Their next focus should be on working things out with Bill Ward, who actually almost died last year from a perforated diverticulitis.

[@Poetikaliz]

[@etadjurdjevic6218]

[@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77]

I'll never forget this night......I had bought tickets for the event and arrived 5 minutes before showtime. The guy at the ticket booth said all seats were already taken and there was nothing he could do about it. I was super pissed, but a friend called us up and said to come out to a house party in Echo Park later that night. The house band was setting up to perform & the drummer was none other than the SAME guy at the ticket booth earlier that said our seats were taken. Needless to say he freaking bolted outta there once their set was done LOL!!!! I think the spirit of Jim Morrison played a prank on us that night.

[@corinnefrusciante3706]

It’s so nice to see these two comfortable together and to hear John complimenting Morrison in a genuine way made me happy. John seems to relish reliving the past and he seems to have lost the bitterness of being under Jim’s shadow. Ray, John and Robbie were hugely under valued in the humongous shadow Jim unintentionally cast

[@corinnefrusciante3706]

Delinthefelon 3 I read his book about 20 times when I was younger and I distinctly recall him stating that being behind the drum kit meant he didn’t get all the chicks like Jim. You might want to have a wee reread

[@frankiebutler2894]

Corinne Marie John, I don’t think your being a drummer had a thing to do with ability to get girls. Take a look in mirror and listen to your whiney personality. BTW, one reason for feelings of resentment was Jim dated John’s 1st wife before John dated & married her. (Read in an article)

[@philo240]

U can find people in so many sectors even outside the arts including technology who've created things in their 20's & then ride that wave for the remainder of their careers, it could b labeled 'branding', which in essence the primary musicians Ray & Robby did, crafting more hits than some big bands who lasted 3 or 4 times their timespan.

[@smallnapoleon3594]

They kept making music and wrote books after the death of Jim.

[@frankiebutler2894]

Drunk Yes, they made out alright - homes, families, education for children, etc. If they had wanted anything different, they could have done. Google lists John & Robbie at $14M and $15M, respectfully, and Ray, at death, $25M.Yep, they did OK, IMO.

[@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488]

[@davidaroberts3175]
