The Doors - Music Video - L.A. Woman 1971 | THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACTIONS

What do you get when you combine a classically trained keyboard player, a jazz drummer, a flamenco guitar player and a poet? The Doors.

[@ginafragata2947]

Yes ❤

[@1980bwc]

People still havent caught on to the genius of Jim Morrison, and he's been gone for over 50 years. The guy should be on a list, of the greatest poets of all time.

[@ericanderson8886]

One of the great driving songs. RIP Jim.

I would have loved to have seen the Doors? But I was 12 in 1971 when they broke up!😢

[@astroteech]

Hell yah! Me and my friends wore this album out when it came out in the 70's. I'm 65 and this is my music heritage. I learned to play "Light My Fire" on my trumpet in band in 5th grade!

[@GasMaskParade]

A masterpiece that no other classic rock band can rival in its hedonistic atmosphere of sound.

[@curtjohansen5742]

That gets your foot tappin even if you're dead. The Doors were totally original and created their own genre and are the only ones in it.

[@itsmedrooms6071]

The time manipulation with the breakdown is incredibly creative and tricky. The relationship between half time and double time is something every young drummer strives to master and this song is a master class in terms of this concept. Rush’s New World Man is another example, but the way Densmore gradually speeds up to transition from half time to double time is very cool and requires an overarching feel of time to pull off.

[@jemxs]

Best band of the sixties, songs of my angsty teens!

[@rebrox6545]

Hey guys, so here’s a little bit of rock trivia you might like, The incredible bass that drives this great song was played by part time session musician Jerry Scheff when he was not playing with Elvis’s TCB touring band, you’ve seen Jerry many times whenever you watched Elvis in Las Vegas performances.

[@gandalf679]

Gas prices back in '71 when this song dropped, was 36 cents a gallon. we used to literally dig in the seats to get money to cruise main street back in those days...Rock ON!!

[@roy19491]

saw them live in 1969....Ray Manzarek not only played keyboards, he also played a bass foot unit, as the Doors had no bass player......Jim Morrison was the ultimate lyric writer.......you guys should listen to the song "Not to Touch the Earth" off their album "Waiting for the Sun", and listen closely; as it's the second stanza of a poem "Celebration of the Lizard"; after all Jim was the Lizard King..........when I was in high school in the 60's, gas was 25 cents a gallon

Mojo Risin'," which is an anagram of his name "Jim Morrison". Doors drummer John Densmore later explained the story of the line: After we recorded the song, he wrote "Mr. Mojo Rising" on a board and said, "Look at this." He moves the letters around and it was an anagram for his name.

[@JohnLancaster-b5x]

They were inter-mixing Steve McQueen's movie "Bullitt" in with one of Jim Morrison's own art films.

Excellent reaction!!!! This is one of my personal favourite song by The Doors. I love Jim's voice in all of their songs but this one really shows his range. I love how he can sing with such clarity to down right dirty grit. The dirtiest the better in my opinion.

[@bella-xp7qd]

The car is named Bullet from Steve McQueen movie. One of the best car cashes ever filmed. In terms of live performance, it's a fact: The Doors did not have a dedicated bass player. In concert, keyboardist Ray Manzarek held down the bottom end with his left hand (and right foot) on the Fender Rhodes. John Densmore played drums. Robby Krieger played guitar.

[@TechNWRO]

@devildog5354 Frank Bullitt character based off San Francisco Inspector Dave Toschi. Toschi was on the Zodiac case and became pretty infamous at one point. I'm not sure when Kevin Bacon comes in though? 🤣

If yall like those cars, you need to watch the films, "Vanishing Point" and "Bullitt". The driving clips in this music video, came from those two films. Except for the driving scenes of Jim Morrison. The green 1968 Mustang GT Fastback 390, being driven by Steve McQueen, was from "Bullitt". The white 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 440, being driven by Barry Newman, was from "Vanishing Point". They both have some of the coolest muscle cars, and driving, in movie history.

The white Dodge Challenger was from the original 1971 Barry Newman movie "Vanishing Point" Its now known as "The Kowalski Challenger" the characters name in the movie. The Mustang looks like a copy of the Steve McQueen Mustang in his big movie "Bullit" - From back when cars had HP and BALLS NOT BATTERIES

[@Pippin14]

Sadly, I remember 22 cents when I was 11 in '68. We used to have 'Gas Wars' where one station would be 24 cents, and a block away one would be 22 cents, etc. When we had the gas shortage, we could only get gas according to your license plate (odd, even). You go in on the wrong day, you got turned away.

The mustang that Jim was driving and filling up, in this video was his own Shelby GT500. He went on tour in Europe and, it's rumored that he gave it to a roadie. Nobody knows what happened to it but, rumors abound. . . . .

[@PINK66FM]

The main guy is not Jim, he is a look-alike. Jim was gone before this was made. This is NOT the official video. It contains clips of Jim and the band from various times in their career. Several movies including the legendary Steve McQueen film "Bullitt" as well as scenes from "Vanishing Point" are used here (Probably without permission). Morrison died from a lethal dose of heroin. BUT, one of their greatest songs IMO. Great song to just speed on a lonely road to. "Mr. Mojo Risin" is an anagram of "Jim Morrison".

Jim Morrison and The Doors, were only a Band for about 4 years until Jim's untimely death, just as Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin of the same era, making them exclusive members of the infamous "27 Club." All three werre superstars of Rock in the late 60s, and all died at the peek of their careers at age 27. Kind of eerie. This song is not about a your regular Morrison song about a Beatiful girl, it's about the city of Los Angles itself, referred to in this song as a "woman. The Lyrics "I see your hair is burning" refer to the fires that start in the Hollywood hills every year in the Fall, and "Driving down your Freeway," is also a reference to the city of Los Angles.
