G'day mate. Nice reaction. I thought i was Jimbo when i was 19, until the second had shop caught me stealing leather pants, no less. Now 55, i choose my jeans wisely. Love that you have a book of notes on the go.
You're such a mellow and open-minded dude! It's so amazing to see the enthusiasm of younger folks who aren't familiar with the classics and are turning on to this music for the first time! Heck, I saw the Doors in Hawaii in '69! It was $2.50 for a ticket. It wasn't close to the stage, but I got in! My first concert. What a night to remember!
Thank you for not interrupting the song. You r my favorite reaction tuber. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching your videos. Love your channel. Good job young man
When the music's over by the doors is one of the best rock songs of all time. It's a long song but there really no other song that compares. 5 to 1 is also pretty great. Also back door man. He'll, they are all great. Roadhouse blues is a great driving song.
Sermon? Less a preacher than a charismatic shaman guide leading his audience through the doors of perception. 😉 That montage was pretty good, fwiw. The audio was from New York, as stated, the footage was from many concerts and other excursions. When I was a little kid in the early seventies The Doors were like The Beatles. Even the pop radio stations were still spinning up "Light My Fire" every so often, before or after "Eleanor Rigby" or what not, from years earlier.
Each clip was live, it’s a compilation. When The Doors played everybody went crazy. Roadhouse Blues epitomizes the Psychedelic Blues of the late 60’s. This is epic… try watching live performances and you’ll see the cops trying to shut it down every time. Jim was rebellious and rightly so because they kept arresting him trying to stop the Music!!!
"Melting in a full mix she drinks lava. Beyond hot topics to indulge in. Staring up at failure how does this evolve. Pulling power downward. Calmly drag the high [?] throughout the day righteously. The giants grip graceful."
Jim was a future thinker, if you listen to "Do It" from Soft Parade, he is saying please, please listen to me children, you are the who will rule the world. He was wanting the youth to step out of their boundaries and use their influence. Jim was an avid reader who was greatly influenced by the beat poets. On December 8, 2023, Jim would have turned 80. I am only left to wonder and imagine what he would be like. The Doors music was a great influence on my life. All their music were masterpieces. I immediately saw that when they debuted in 1966, I was only 7 years old, but i knew they were different, that their music were pieces of art, museum worthy. My heart and mind are the museum where they reside. Peace out. ✌️
I got to see them live in Detroit, May 70. Great and long concert thanks to Jim for insisting on playing an extra hour to the dismay of security who finally gave in fearing a riot
The Doors aren't just music, they are THEATER and the best front man for something like this was Morisson. My fav line from this song is " the future's uncertain and the end is always near" how true those words are .
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy .... why did you have to check out so soon? visited his grave and his apartment building. Sign on apartment building read. " Jim Morrison did not die here"
Ha had to pause at 1:20 to say i saw what ya did there heh & i **Luvit** AND wanted to say freakin **YAY** i can not wait to hear one of your poems & yep ya picked a great group to start doing this to (if in fact ya did just start doing it with the Doors sorry new ish subscriber here so have not seen everything yet heh) K just wanted to say i caught that & it totally made me **Smile** k goin back in for the rest...
I will always appreciate your Doors reaction! They are definitely in my top 10 favorite bands and I love seeing the younger generation listen to music that is timeless! I know I sound like a geezer for saying that last sentence, but it is how I feel at the ripe age of 29 years old
That was nice! Looking out from my little island in the Gulf of Maine, there is no color. The sky and the water are both steel gray, nearby islands are just shapeless hulks in a pale gray mist, it's spitting snow. The frozen bare bones of the hardwoods are gray. The fir trees and the wet ledges are black. The snow and the sea foam are white. In my world right now there is no color...
Jim's mannerisms were copied by many musicians & actors. Mick Jagger, Matthew Mc Conaughy using Jim's famous words ",Alright, alright, alright" . Long live the Lizard King.
Sad there is not a lot of their shows on film or videotape. Some of their most talked about shows were not even recorded on auto tape. Check out When the Music's over live in Europe. It was recorded in very good quality audio and video but is in black and white. Maybe the best of the best captured live on video.
If you are a fan of poetry Morrison did have a book of poetry published by an Simom and Shuster, 1970 titled "Lords and the New Creatures. When I was young in the 80's I vowed that I would own that book. I do own it. Bought a very good copy with a very good dust jacket for about $100. It's an interesting book and book of poetry. Morrison was a very good poet. I have quibbles and his style (not a minimalist) but have been influenced by his cadence. If you like Morrison's poetry, have some cash and want a book that could appreciate in value check out "Lords and the New Creatures." The Dust Jacket (DJ) is very important to the value of a book. As a sidenote when I bought my copy for a $100, a copy of Morrison's self-published book with all his bandmates signatures was selling for $2,400. Just $2,400!
Oh WoW I **LUV** EVERYthing ya said! Yea man it was **All Happening** back then wish the F i could have been a teen back then more than anything ha he was def something different & special indeed holy WoW **GoodTimesGoodTimes** & i **LUV** Your **Poem** Thank YOU very much for sharing! & YAY yes always more doors **Best Channel**
I'm kinda disappointed you didn't react to Bob Dylan on MLK Day. He was a Civil Rights activist who helped lead the charge and inspired our nation with his poetic style of song. Dylan performed at Rev King's; I Have A Dream Speech freedom march. Bob Dylan's music is not for everyone BUT his songs were meant for everyone. It wasn't about his "singing" voice, it was what he said. Consider reacting to Blowin' in the Wind or The Times They Are A-Changin'
