Ай бұрынThis is always how the doors videos happen... I get a random comment suggesting a song and I just take the jump. WOW. I have NEVER heard this side of them. I didn't know they could do the blues like this. But silly me for doubting one of the greatest bands of all time. This was fantastic. What a cool sound they had here.

When I was visiting my brother in San Francisco WAY back, one morning about 5:45 A.M. I awoke to this tune blasting through his flat. When I found him dancing around the living room, he was drinkin' a beer and smokin' a joint. I asked him what he was doing, and he said "I called work and told 'em 'I'm sick', so it's time to go have some fun." So I said, gimme a hit off that number and went to get a beer. Three days later, we staggered back into his flat. To this day, this is one of my all-time faves. Thanks man!

The roadhouse that inspired this song was the Topanga Corral, a windowless nightclub in the counterculture enclave of the Topanga Canyon, where Jim Morrison lived. He used to sing to his girlfriend when she was driving, "Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands on the wheel," and he incorporated it into the song.

@yankeeboyno7 Ай бұрын
The Corral was a kick ass place to go to see live music. Saw the Eagles and Neil Young with Crazy Horse there. Joni Mitchell was also scheduled, but she followed the Eagles and the crowd wouldn’t quiet down so she walked off the stage.
@Rhiannon011 Ай бұрын
Yeah growing up in the valley my friends and I used to drive down Topanga Canyon all the time and often stopped at the ole store, we saw Jim and Pam there once and another time Linda Ronstadt and a few others. We would always leave them alone, as you "don't fan all over famous people'" in LA county, it's just a 'given" because they were all over the valley and LA just "hanging around" and living their lives.. If you didn't fan all over them they would often chat with you. Those are such good memories I have growing up in Los Angeles county and meeting so many famous people.

Hyacinth House is a fantastic song off L.A. Woman that seems like a natural to react to next. Very personal lyrics by Morrison that drip with emotion. He realizes that he's gathered some unsavory friends due to his various addictions, and needs somebody new. A beautiful piano solo by Ray Manzarek (who wrote the music) that incorporates some Frederic Chopin. You'll love this song.

"Morrison Hotel" and "L. A. Woman" are my favorite Doors albums. I love 'em all, but these two are 5 out of 5 stars.

At the end of "Not to touch the earth" Jim says "I am the lizard king I can do anything", he was really into reptiles, I think they represented "ancient mythology stories" to him.

British hard rock/boogie kings Status Quo used to cover this song in great style - there's a splendid live version on their epic 1977 live album, and it was provided with video footage here (the video is mostly from a show in Madrid that was filmed for TV two years before):. The communication with the audience here, and the energy of the band, are wonderful.
