If you haven't done it yet (I don't see the reaction on your channel anywhere), then react the "Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night.

When the Doors were invited on to the Ed Sullivan Show to do this song (already a big hit) they didn't want him to say "girl we can't get much higher" because it sounded, oh, druggy or something. He said he would change it, and the bluenoses were happy. Time for the show which went out live. And he sang it the original way. When you see footage of it, he looks right into the camera and gives a little smirk. a 100% Jim Morrison move.

They don't get musicians like that. Oh, of course Taylor Swift makes $ Billion...with 3 Minutes Versions...but, live versions were always a true talent show. Many used "classic" parts - The Doors also, - orhers used J.S. Bach, Fuge interlude (In a gadada vida).... We all used big sound systems, stereo, in order to hear every high and low note. Artists were real artist, with enormous skills ( Emerson Lake and Palmer) and real good bands used Hamond organs, like the ones previously mentioned. Some slid over to the acid rock type. But transient Jazz type music was keen to every great band. Hardly anybody played a "cover" in 3,5 Minutes of their record original. When Freddy M. got flack, critique for writing Bohemia R. from the Record Label dude ( in the 🎥🍿 movie) - I was solidely stunned. As just about every good band had a extremely long - epic version on their album ( Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc.).

Hi Diane! One of my favorite bands. Jim Morrison got his college degree in acting, and only by chance ended up a singer. He was known for his wild lifestyle and use of "substances", though he wasn't a junkie but was overly fond of drink and psychedelics. He, along with Janice Joplin and Jimi Hendrix formed the nucleus of "Club 27", those rockers who died at that age. Many others, including Curt Cobain of Nirvana were to follow. At the tender age of 14 I saw the Doors last performance at The Warehouse, in New Orleans. He was really messed up (which was not unusual), and threw down the mic halfway through the show and was led offstage. He retired from show business and went to Paris, France to concentrate on his poetry, which he regarded as his true calling. He was found dead in his bathtub, officially from a heart attack, though there was alcohol and possibly other substances in his system. He's buried in an old cemetery there, and his grave, where many people leave flowers, is the most visited in the whole graveyard. I remember when word got out of his death, some of the coolest people in my crowd, who were also into certain things we weren't supposed to be doing, were heartbroken. Check out the album Absolutely Live, it gives you a good idea what the Doors were like in concert. Chewie's looking cuter than ever, so give him a hug for me, I love you and I'll catch you later!

@paulelliott682 7 ай бұрын

Jim did NOT retire. After the L.A. Woman album was finished the record co. let the band take a vacation before the start of the L.A. Woman Tour. Jim went to " The City of Lights " but Jim unfortunately accidentally O.D.'d. The record co. canceled the tour but released the album and planned singles. That's why there's NO LIVE versions of L.A. Woman or Riders on the Storm with JDM.

The Doors are a top band with a very distinctive psychedelic blues style. A late 60s band, very inventive, in the era when rock music was growing up and being targeted at a more mature audience instead of surfin' bubble gum chewin' teenagers. So this song is one of the earliest examples of what you might call "trance rock." Probably also in this mode would be "The End." Morrison, the lead singer, was very famous for wearing leather pants all the time.

(It's a pity Sugerman didn't just change all the names and make it a novel.) And it's a very Oliver Stone kind of story, he saw a story he wanted to make and as usual, he bullishly made the movie he wanted to make, damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.

The band had an interesting situation when they performed this on "The Ed Sullivan Show", a popular TV entertainment variety show at the time. In the line "Girl, we couldn't get much higher", the censors wanted them to change the last word to "better", because the original sounded like a drug reference to them. They agreed, but once they went on, Jim Morrison went ahead and did the original line anyway. They were banned from ever appearing on Sullivan again as a result.

Light My Fire was their signature hit and their big jam number when playing live. This isn't the best live version of it, but it's the best visual record of it. There's also black and white footage of the song from their gig at the Roundhouse in London, which is more intense, and Morrison gets up to some interesting antics during the instrumentals, but the sound quality isn't great. By their own admission, the Hollywood Bowl performance wasn't one of their best - they were nervous because Mick Jagger was in the audience, and also Jim decided to take some acid before the show. The most impressive part of this clip was keyboardist Ray Manzarek going completely ham on the organ solo with his right hand, while keeping up a steady bass line with his left hand on the keyboard bass (The Doors didn't have an actual bass player, except on records).

Ray Manzarek on keys, was one of the finest keyboard players in a rock band. He played melody on the organ or sometimes electric piano, and the bass part on a bass keyboard. However on studio recordings they did use a bass player. People keep puting new labels on this style to suit their own era's mentality of redefine it so they understand it...but back in the day this was known as "progressive rock."

The Doors are certainty "Acid Rock", But to be fair, a lot of Prog Rock involved use of that substance.. Terms moved quickly in that quickly changing time. What became known as "Muscle Cars" (like the Pontiac GTO) were originally called "Supercars", but THAT term was later applied to Ferraris, ETC. Kinda like when Centigrade suddenly became Celsius and Megacycles became Megahertz. It seems this happened circa 1972..I think...I was REALLY high, So YMMV.

I'd never seen this live version until now. Live performances don't have the time limits of records. Record labels and radio stations like songs to be three minutes at most. But in concert, the musicians can do extended solos. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes not. In this case, it was a good thing. Also, the sound quality of a live recorded performance is sometimes poor, but in this case it was good. I think the organ was a Vox Continental, a popular electronic instrument of the time. Organs were used quite a bit in pop and rock music then. When Light My Fire was released on record, for some reason they slowed it down by almost half a step, which made Jim Morrison's voice sound deeper. I don't know why they did that. You can find the speed-corrected version on KZfaq. When The Doors appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, he made the band promise not to sing the lyric "girl we couldn't get much higher," since it could be taken as a drug reference. Sullivan wanted them to sing, "girl it couldn't get much better," which wouldn't have rhymed, of course. But when the time came, Morrison sang "higher" instead of "better." The show was broadcast live, so they couldn't do anything about it. Sullivan was furious, and refused to shake Morrison's hand afterwards. He sent someone to tell Morrison that The Doors would never be on the Ed Sullivan Show again. Morrison replied, "Hey, man. We just did the Sullivan show."

Originally, Ray used a Thomas built Vox Continental, but switched to a Gibson G-101 by Lowrey (the organ in this video) because the plastic keys on the Vox kept breaking. Too bad Thomas really cheapened out on Jennings' organ design. The original had wooden keys, but Jenning's couldn't keep up with American demand for their instruments. They also transistorized all of Vox's amps, which were originally tube driven, and gave them Fender style names. The Gibson actually has more keys and features than the Vox. Ray also played a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass.

I was listening to this when it was first being played on the radio (studio version,) so I'm kinda old. I recently was driving & it was playing on the radio & I hurried to catch up with what looked like an 8th grade boy & girl walking home from school, I turned it up enough for them to hear like I did at their age "come on baby light my fire, come on baby light my fire, try to set the night on fire."

I never did drugs but when I was in Viet Nam I listened to this song through headsets and always felt a certain "vibe" during the interlude. Another one that is similar, but very long (like 17 Minutes) is In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Take a listen

Well, Diane gave out a Yee Haw. I am amazed. Light My Fire is one of the few rock songs where the primary instrument driving the tune was the organ. The song was a utility performer, play it low when your down, pump up the volume for a party tune. Works as a tune for just keeping you mellow and happy. New merch for Diane store, The Diane bobble head for rocking to the tunes, sparkly headphones included. I like this song, but Riders Of The Storm has always been my go to Doors song. Enjoyed this.

Couple of band recommendations: Adam and the Ants/Adam Ant. Possibly the single influence of the New Wave aesthetic in the 1980s. Twisted Sister. Highly recommend "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the first experience. Glam rock mixed with 80s hair band. And mustn't forget the Stray Cats. Rockabilly during the 80s, which became the Brian Setzer Orchestra of today. Brian is a seriously underappreciated guitarist.

Happy Thanksgiving Diane 'King interludes', drum / guitar / keyboard solos were / are very common at concerts to stretch the length, 'work the crowd', get the audience more into the vibe, and/or 'put on great show' for the fans. It was also a way to make the song different than what was on the album / cd. Depending on the type of concert, it also gave time for the audience to partake of certain 'helpful substances' to bring them a 'higher' appreciation of the music. This started in the psychedelic era) late 60's to mid 70s) and to continue for the generations to follow. Yes Jim Morrison was known to use some 'medicines' and alcohol during this time which is why he believed to have died from alcohol poisoning, H overdose, or a combination of the 2. Since there was NO autopsy, his death is left undetermined. When he died in Paris, he became part of The 27 Club.

One of my youngest daughters favorite songs. Back in the 90's when Aerosmith started recording and back together, my oldest then 15 was in the closet digging through a box of my old 8 track tapes I put away. Found 4 or 5 Aerosmith tapes in there. He asked me if this was the same Aerosmith or was it a different Aerosmith and did not believe I listened to them when I was a teenagerin the 70's.

Rock On, Irish Girl! One of the best long road trip driving songs ever! For this long, live version one usually had a bootleg concert copy on cassette. The long interlude on this particular song could be spent many ways, especially taking a smoke break--like everyone in the crowd would be lighting up a number, ie. "smoking a sandwich". There aren't that many live videos of The Doors, as JIM Morrison was another member of the 27 club. One of my Top Ten all time favorite bands. Chewie has great taste in music too! This music journey is getting more fun as we go, and you've really only just started--a handful of sand from the rock 'n roll beach so far. Hope you and Chew have a Wonderful Wǝᴉɍdnesday!
