I played the Whisky in '96 with my all female band, The Dark. I'll never forget how stoked I was to grace the same stage as Jim and the Doors had. 😍

I stayed in room 32 at La Cienaga in 1981...I think how it looks now is awful. Back then, it was just a room - obviously, to me it was more! - no graffiti, no plaque, nothing. Jim could've just stepped out. I stayed there 3 days. Wonderful. Glad I got to see it before it was trashed.

I love blasting the doors as I work driving around West Hollywood and Santa Monica.

As a lifelong fan of The Doors, I learned so much and could've watched your work for hours - perfect pace, narration, and content.

I was so lucky just turned 14 and saw them play in London. The 2 night gig was filmed as 'The Doors are open'.

Jim Morrison Was the Man, BAD ASS!!!!

His candle was brief but brilliant

Grew up in LA in all those places.. Started high school at fairfax in 1966. What a trip the next two decades were. Cool stuff dude. Keep on trucking..

Thank you. I grew up in LA and live in Asia now. This video made me homesick, in a good way

I visited just about all these locations 11 years ago. I had to scrounge bits and pieces from message boards to put together my own tour. Fantastic video! Thank you

I grew up in LA while the Doors burst onto the scene. Saw them a few times. Mind blowing performance.

These videos are so wonderful! Geographical sightseeing of some of the most intriguing and loved musicians of the last 100 years. Thank you so much for your diligence and efforts! Not sure why there aren't hundreds of thousands of people enjoying this???

Soul Kitchen not a bloody Starbucks? Amazing.

Its nice to see places from the greatest era are still standing. seriously, progress is not always a great thing. I miss those simple days

This is a terrific documentary! Thank you for sharing this. I hope one day go to LA and visit a few of those places.

February 12th Birthday shout out to Ray Manzarek! You are missed Ray!

Great tour. Love the cultural history of LA.

Thanks for this awsome video....The Doors were fascinating rockers...RIP Ray, Jim and Pam.

This is a real step back in time for me. I lived in Santa Monica,hungout in Haight Ashbury South

While not a Morrison residence, Ray Manzarek's Grandparents owned a small store on Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach known by the locals as The Little Store. My understanding is The Doors would practice in the alley garage to the delight of the locals there at the time. I had moved from about 2 blocks away a few years earlier or I would have been one of those delighted locals.

Most essential location : Whiskey Bar

Man I've loved Jim and the Doors since 1978 when I was 15. Yeah I was a stoner. But I lived In Albuquerque and recall the one of the 2 residences where he lived when his daddy was stationed here. Been to the Beanery and Venice Beach and damn I just can't find a band more influential or more pivotal in my life or the modern American cultural scene than the Doors. The only band besides Sabbath that I never tire of. Thanks for the trip.

Wanted to add that we walked the Santa Monica Venice portion of the tour and it took about 3 hours. I would recommend riding a bike for this portion. Lots of bike rentals and dedicated bike paths at the beach.

Loved this. Your videos are getting better and better, Tim. Great job.

You are a fine cinematographer and editor. Also a good storyteller and tour guide. Love the Doors. Thank you

50 years ago today. RIP Jim.

I went by McGowan Hall at UCLA today - wow that gave me chills thinking about Jim and Ray in film school.

What a wonderful, fast paced video! Presented very well.

What a wonderfully fast tour by an older, knowledgable, handsome guy !

Gotta love the "not quite Doors" music in the background.

It's so weird that I grew up attending the same locations. 🤘

Pal,You're channel is gold.God bless you.✌

On a day like today , what a SUPERB video to remember Jim Morrison. Thanks a lot , Tim , for your splendid channel and Rock On !

as a fellow doors fan and Cadillac owner thank you for your awesome work! visiting Jims grave in 2017 was on my bucket list. I took an uber at 8am to pere lachaise, i walked to Jims grave and listened to moon light drive, the end and la woman. i was the only person there. the cemetery is hauntingly gorgeous that early in the morning. a pilgrimage for any doors fan.

Thank you for this. I was fortunate to be born in L.A. and have lived here most of my life. I knew most of these sites, but not all. I've been to The Whisky a bunch of times, but had no idea The London Fog was just a few buildings down. I've driven past the Love Street house and Canyon Market hundreds of times, because they are both right off Laurel Canyon. It's always fun to see the Morrison/Curson house when a Doors song happens to be playing in my car. Some time ago, there was a fire at the house (fan related?), and part had to be rebuilt. The building can be identified by the large bell on top. If you visit L.A., it's one of the easier Doors spots to get to and it's on the way to Mulholland Drive. You can also check out The Canyon Market, "where the creatures meet." They painted it groovy, to capitalize on it's history, but inside it's just a little market/liquor store. If you check out some of these sites in person, be aware that a lot of times there is no indication that anything interesting ever happened there, because the spot has been torn down and rebuilt a few times.

Cool..have always loved the doors , Jims journey ..tuning in from Fremantle Western Australia

Thanks for this. As a Doors fan for the past 35 years, and living in the UK, I would never get the chance to see these places

Fabulous thank you I was cruzing sunset Strip in my 64 GTO in 1967.

This was very cool man. Once this pandemic is over I'm going on a road trip to see all this.

thank you so much for this video!! i love the 60's history of LA especially of the doors more, more, more, more!

Your videos feel like I'm watching a show on TV. Really great quality brother!

As I truly know the hard work that goes into these type of docs, it is always good to let you know, it is well appreciated all that work, time, music, editing and scripting and oh the planning. Folks think you just think this up and just go do it very easily. Nope!!! Spent 80-100 hours so far on my LIB doc. I need to get to Barney's when I get back there. It is hard to imagine what it must have been like to be in L.A. in Venice / SM and squat and live day to day like JM did and what the real moment's vibe was like. cheers steve

Another awesome video. Great analysis. Lots of fun. Don't stop. Keep it going and you'll see your viewership, plus subscriptions climb up

Dude, I want to thank you for this. I was born on Sunset and a long time Doors fan. I've stayed in Rm 32 and it was indeed a "fleabag". Something was biting me! I thought it was bedbugs or something. I've eaten at Barneys a couple times too! Rock on.

great video relayed the hauntingness of those moments back then and brought it lingering into the present

Happy Birthday James-Douglas Morrison!!!! I looove you soo much & miss you so much. Jim Morrison was one of the best poets & singers of all time....

Well researched and well presented, thanks.

The Ellison wasn't always permanent apartments.The first time I went to the USA,in 1991,I landed at LAX from a stopover in Hawaii.Leaving the terminal myself and a Swedish guy were approached and asked if we needed somewhere to stay. He explained about a backpackers lodge on Venice Beach. We hopped into the microbus and drove to the Ellison.On arrival we were taken to the rooftop to a glass room that was a lookout toward the ocean.This was the office that booked you in and took your payment.The whole building was operating as a backpackers lodge.It was $20 a night to stay. I booked in for two weeks. I was a Doors fan then but at the time, had no idea fate would take me to where Jim and Pam stayed.The office staff told me that Jim used to live there and suggested I go see the movie,which had just been released.It was a great time. I was 23.

I hate and miss LA, specifically miss West LA. I’ve been in Orange County since 1991 and glad I found a landing. Thank you for the memories. 😊

It will forever be absolutely original and poetry. And that is not a minor thing.

Another great video, 2nd one I've watched, the first being the Neil Young Topanga Canyon one. These videos show some beautiful sides of L.A., the city I grew up in many many years ago. L.A. gets a lot of bad press, but it's a beautiful place, as long as you don't have to commute to and from work.

This is wildly fascinating! Thank you so much for uploading this

LA Woman was recorded there exactly 50 years ago!

Awesome video! Really cool to see what some of those places look like now. Crazy to think people eat in a place where LA Women was recorded. Classic album!

great video brings back some memory's of when i lived in north Hollywood

Great Job ,Its Amazing How Great The Venice Area Once Was Now Such a Wreck ,,The Great Days Of Calif and LA In The Past Now But At Least We Had Them Nice To See That At Least A Few Placs Are On Some Of The Old Places To

The best band ever PERIOD!

Love this . Live in LA and have never really noticed any of these places around aside from the Norton house ! Thanks . Keep’em coming

Great tour, thanks for that Tim.

So cool to see all of these places!!! Thank you, Hiking4Life.

Absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you for putting this together and sharing with us! ✌️

This is like visiting Jim & talking to him during his living day

Great stuff Tim. Your videos are such a cool mix of facts, fun, knowledge & love of music. Keep 'em coming!

That was Awesome. Thank you for doing this. Any more videos coming about The Doors? Truly appreciated. Peace...

Another great hike, packed with info and inspiration. 🤘

Great to find more Doors from an old fan. Hard to fathom Jim would be 80 if he were still with us.

This was awesome! Going to follow this tour on my 1st event trip to LA in the spring.

This was absolutely amazing. Thank you for doing all of this work.

Happy Birthday Jim, wherever you may be. You are missed!🧁

Thank you for creating this beautiful video testament. Should be turned into a feature-length movie with Doors music background & Doors member recollections. Would enjoy seeing the view from that rooftop apartment that Jim occupied. I'd definitely pay to see & experience that. Tack on some early life Florida sites and final Paris scenes to document more of this exceptional life that affected so many of us.

Hi Tim, this one is wonderful too. U didn't appear on my feed til last week. ( goofy algorithms !) I loved the Santa Monica area, just gorg! No wonder why the incomparable Dwight Yoakam lives here now and has for a long time. Great work, Tim Peace and love

Wonderful video, so much detail, very well researched .

Awesome video, man. Really glad I stumbled upon your channel.

Thank you so very much for taking the time and research LOVE the DOORS FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC AND Cool unique poetry and vibes truly an AMERICAN TREASURE GOD BLESS THE LIZARD KING.

Great Footage. Thanks 🙏

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Love the Doors, Great band

Great stuff. You need to run a Doors tour. I'd certainly sign up.

Thank You for this fine video. One of my favorite bands.

Very interesting. Thank you and well done.

#22 Topanga Corral inspiration for Roadhouse Blues. I lived nearby and my Aunt worked there.

cool vid thanks for sharing - Jim's greatest vocal examples took place LIVE in concerts - he shined in the studio on songs like The Crystal Ship, but LIVE in concert all you need to do is listen to a raging When The Music's Over or Not To Touch The Earth to appreciate Jim's extraordinary vocal range and skills - he was more than a baritone - he has and had the greatest scream in all of Rock n' Roll - the death terrifying scream of the butterfly

I shamelessly subscribed to your channel. :-) And I am interviewed in the VH1 Confidential series about Jim Morrison ( Cynthia Summers ). Really enjoyed this video.

thank you sir, very awesome vid. cheers from New Zealand

Great Stuff ! Thanks Tim Peace, Rudy

Man this is so awesome! Thanks for sharing

July 5, 1967, Jim Morrison and the Doors play a concert high school gym in Whittier CA. Lowell High School. I lived down the street, my older sisters when to school there at the time. Google it, you can see a copy of an actual ticket.

Love this, thanks. We went to Barney's Beanery a couple of years ago when we flew from Shanghai to LA to see Neil Young at Aroyo Secco. Knew it had Doors history. However, my absolute favourite place was The Rainbow Bar and Grill and getting closer to the spirit of Lemmy Kilmister, my ultimate hero.

WOW... FANTASTIC! thanks for bringing us along!!! =)

These videos are great sir. Thanks so much

As a big Jim Morrison/Doors fan and a fan of that time thank you for showing where these things happened. Much love from Australia. I've always wanted to go to the places they were in but to see it this way is amazing.

Es increíble ver esos lugares llenos de historia en la actualidad, gracias por el Video

This was really great 👍!

He lived in an ideal setting for a 20 something striving artist per appearances. He may have a story similar to Phil Anselmo where he injured himself and had to self medicate to keep going. Never knew he injured his back before, thanks for the insight

Nice tour, thnx for the info. The Doors4ever

Really enjoyed your tour..love the Door

Amazing. This is fascinating! Thank you!

Glad I stumbled upon this channel. First Neil Young and now Jim Morrison.

What an amazing video! As a major doors fan I was on the edge of my seat. The video was very descriptive and the footage was clear.

I love your channel, its fascinating.

Excellent, very informative!!
