*******************
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.

That must have been a magical feeling! I met John Densmore in the mid 90s when he played a solo drum show at my college campus, University of South Dakota of all places! I wrote for the college newspaper at the time and was invited to the after-show mixer where only about 20 people were there. I walked right up to John, shook his hand and proceeded to tell him about a play I was writing in my creative writing class inspired by the Doors music. John smiled and then said, "If you make it to Broadway, call me up!" Still to this day I am amazed at my luck that day meeting him. Years later I was also able to see the Doors play in concert with Ian Astbury, which was phenomenal. The Doors played for about 2 1/2 hours and the band let people get up on the stage and dance. Very fun memorable experience.

Also, he took a bad fall one night & that is when he started coughing up blood. So with how much alcohol that Jim drank a day, taking a bad fall one night, & coughing up blood up until his death, I'm not saying that the picture is crystal clear.

I just moved across country and one of my favorite vintage stores in my hometown plays this song, and hearing it instantly transports me back to that tiny cramped space filled to the brim with cool stuff. ❤️

[@johannesalcade1391]

One of the greatest song so far...the voice, the music the atmosphère, so brilliant ❤

[@kvl505]

So much depth. It pierces the soul...

[@theosavelkoul6483]

One of the best songs ever performed

[@esthergarcia1373]

Love the jazzy way they made Riders on the Storm along with those wonderful sound effects of rain falling down and thunder in the distance. Perfection ❤🎹🎼🎸🥁⚡💦☔💧

[@cathystruska1558]

The ending still give me goosebumps 51 years later

Greatest beginning to a song, ever! Wonderful keyboard playing by Ray.

[@danielwillette3895]

Absolutely agree with you 100% because I feel the same way, ray manzarek has always been my favorite keyboardist and I think he is the greatest keyboardist in rock music history!

[@jolyondavis3519]

Ray played the rain?

[@danielwillette3895]

@@jolyondavis3519 yes he did the sound effects of a thunderstorm on the keyboard, absolutely epic!

[@grantmcduling9760]

[@martinspencer366]

One of the all time great songs. Robbie Krieger, great player.

[@hanson2205]

All-time Classic of Iconic Proportions ! Jim was above everyone back then and he still is today !

[@marcovanboekel7419]

I like this song since I was 13 years old. It has a haunting and intimate sense of loneliness in it which I can still recall. It is a master piece.

[@damianbowyer6258]

One of The Gr8est Songs EVER Written.

[@johnziegelbauer4999]

With the events now we are Riders on the Storm...

[@helendavis3013]

There is no denying the music of the 70's... it stirred your consciousness! The Doors, in my opinion, were epic!

[@mickeyshooter5298]

The Doors were far more a 60s band than a 70s band. Js

Forever a Classic Rock Song

[@gilesjohnson8768]

As good as it gets, the keys are sublime, the atmosphere and rhythm....pretty hard to think of a better moment in music gold

[@chrisspohn777]

They totally nailed it on this take. Such a classic. 35 years ago. My first acid trip. When it hit they put this on. My mind exploded. Seemed to last like 30 minutes... When they hit the breakdown in the middle time stopped!!!

[@GrassPossum]

A song that has its own entity prowling around living off the energy it never ceases to conjure. Loved it and thrilled to it since the first time I heard it entering my early teens.

[@makusmati]

An absolute masterpiece for sure.

[@guerdacoreus173]

one of the most mystical songs the doors have done, especially towards the end, the storm and lighting puts you in a trance, always the doors, rest in peace jim, ride easy.

[@TheMusicolophile]

One of those songs that you just end up going back to.

[@camdenrafftery3555]

This song is my favorite to listen to while it’s raining and I’m on my porch.

[@ESApires]

A chill runs up my spine when I listen this song !..!

[@rachaeldeering334]

Edu Pires same!!

[@GrassPossum]

Portions of the song supposedly refer to a spree killer. A hitchhiker who killed six people including a family. But it has also got the distinction of being Jim Morrison's last recorded song to be released in his lifetime.

[@constance.bridenbaugh676]

still after all these

[@deniesekline-thatcher8380]

This song use to boom through my mind riding with my then husband in San Diego...near N. A.S Miramar, Ca. The jets taking off... (1972) I was 18.....Hmmm seems like yesterday....Little did I know the heartbreak💔awaiting me...... Then Christ Jesus set me Free 🙌
