too drunk ?! he wasn't drunk if you watch the whole performance, just because he doesn't stick to the usual forma it didn't mean he was drunk he is well known for improvisational skills too, i hate it when people prefer referring to him as a drunk singer instead of the genius poet he really was

The Doors were always at their best playing the blues.

This is the BEST version of "Build me a Woman" I just Love it!! Long Live Jim!

Everybody always goes on about Jim Morrison and how good of a front man he was but you've got to admit the doors won't have been the same without Ray

I seen them in 1970, almost got to meet Jim, I was about 8ft from him. Girl! he was beautiful!! I can honestly say I was, as you put it, intoxicated by his presence. Since then and even til today, no one has ever made me feel that way. The concert was awesome. If I had 3 wishes, one would be to go back to that day.

Robbie krieger is the most undervalued guitarist player in the history, he's excellent I hope he comes to Mexico again :(

Robby Is one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard

Ray was the musical backbone of the Doors.

makes me wanna run out the door and buy a bottle of whisky. The Doors' music is drinkin' music. ..makes you feel all these different things, it's soul music...you get your own meanings out of it... 'I need someone who doesn't need me'

To me Jim is looking at his brothers and truly admiring them. He thought they were brilliant and gifted. He loved them.

Not enough Densmore closeups Dude was seriously underrated

For the record; this is April 1969. 'The Soft Parade' performance from this program is incredible, I highly recommend it. LYJ.

They were so tight at this point love Morrison and the blues

I never get bored of The Doors. Real music.

No body better than Jim Morrison

They were all just as important as each other in and to this music. Doors fans know that it couldn’t have been any other line up.

everytime I observe Ray, I wonder how he managed to play like that! This is what made The Doors something else! they were not like other bands all pulling and pushing in front of the cameras. You can see the focus in every single artist here. Love them all!

Ray Manzarek was ***king phenominal ..R.I.P. RAY....

Ray always kills it

RAY MANZAREK, CREADOR DEL SINGULAR SONIDO DE THE DOORS. A DOS AÑOS DE SU PARTIDA. DESCANSE EN PAZ. GRACIAS, RAY. Raymond Daniel Manczarek (Chicago, Illinois, 12 de febrero de 1939 - Rosenheim, Baviera, 20 de mayo de 2013) fue un músico, cantante, productor, director de cine y escritor estadounidense. Fue cofundador y teclista de la banda de rock The Doors entre 1965 y 1973, y en The Doors of the 21th Century (luego Manzarek - Krieger) desde 2001. Sus primeras notas en el piano fueron a los nueve años. Fue pianista de The Doors entre 1965 y 1973; hasta 1971 la banda actuó con su formación original compuesta también por Jim Morrison (voz), Robby Krieger (guitarrista) y John Densmore (baterista).

the DOORS always the best band from the 60's... and always ... integral part of MY life.LOVE THIS

one of their best songs ever. I wish i could shred a piano like ray.

I love the Doors best in two configurations: slow blues and ballads.

A fan since 1990 this never gets old

amazing guitar solo. a great example of less is more.

Ray Manzarek was the glue that held this band together, musically, imo.

So great it's really unbelievable.oh hell ya. Blues ! She came!

Phenomenal. To think that Jim would be dead in less than a year later, after this performance, sends shivers over me.

ray is a machine on that solo.

This is my favorite band right here.

The slide Robbie is using is actually the lid of a bottle. This video is from a DVD, and later in the DVD there's an interview with Robbie and he talks about it. You just wrap a rag around the bottle, and smash the bottom of the bottle, and keep the top.

Just look at Manzarek... bass on left hand and keyboard on right hand, and after Jim died, he even sang. What amazing talent.. Nowadays, you'd have 3 people doing all that.

WHOA! Robby Krieger w/ a Les Paul? Haven't seen that before...love them Les Paul "Black Beauties" and I totally dig Robby's unique Flamenco guitar style. Rock on and R.i.P. Jim.

Not all rock. 50% Rock 50% Blues That's what makes the Doors :D

Pure genius...

Hey fellow music lovers, I just want to claim my seat and say I loved this song and video! It made my day after work.

love this jacket too :)

probably my favorite jim morrison, were he didnt give a fuck about looks or money, he was just being the blues man he was. and did a good job of it too

That beard, so cool!

Jim has to be one of the most handsome men of the last century, I mean; Look at him! I'm so jealous...

Jim really relishing it 1000%

no words... just true artists.

By far the best recording of build me a woman (imo). Something about this version is just mesmerizing.

Every time I drive past an 18-wheeler on Sunday's I sing to myself "Sunday trucker...." and wonder if the driver is singing that same thing to himself throughout his route.

The Ray´s solo fuck! that´s great men!

LOL i've read that this performance was just a few days after the MIAMI incident. dude, i was born in the wrong era, THIS is rock n roll.

Give me a witness, darling. I need a witness, babe. I got the poontang blues. I got the poontang blues. From the top of my head to the bottom of my cowboy shoes. Build me a woman, Make her ten feet tall. You got to build me a woman, Make her ten feet tall. Don't make her ugly, Don't make her small. Build me a woman, Make her ten feet tall. You got to build me a woman, Make her ten feet tall. Don't make her ugly, Don't make her small. Build me someone I can ball All night long.

Wish this version was recorded for album use

Jim was like 25 in this video? Wow

Long Live Jim!! The pride of Tallahassee. We love you Jimmy.

Love the sheared wine bottle neck Robbie is using to get a bluesy sound. This was the first time Jim sported a full beard in public with The Doors. In Miami it was much more cultivated.

he had a much higher space than most of us have...i will always adore his poetry!

The Doors una leyenda esta version de Build Me A Woman fue tocada en vivo, mas no grabada en ningun audio.

Great, I love this song

she came, she came ; i saw her coming just about the break of day (possible double meaning ya think) laying between the lines

How I love that vox continental!!!

I never made that connection before but now that you mention it I can see the resemblance. I also have to agree they both rock!

2:12 - 2:39 Yeeah!! Master of Master!! Sir Manzarek

love the way the doors went from rock to blues.

i don't know why but the doors just puts me in a certain trance it's as if i smoked a joint every time i listen to their first album.

agreed, it just blows me away everytime I hear it!

Get it ray !!!

Robbie tears it up on the guitar!

Love his jacket ..

Ray is awesome

she caaaaammmeeee

love how robbie is using the neck of a wine bottle as a slide

wow!it's the first time that I listen to ray play a chord 7/#9!!!great ray!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gods.

This looks like the PBS Soundstage show...widely available on VHS back in the 80's...don't know if they put it on DVD

Ray, SUPERB

yay jim !! the only one in the entire world that totally ROCKS the bearded look !

I love this song!! I like how many times Jim Morrison slips in the word motherfucker. This had to have been super controversial back in the late 60s / early 70s. It would be considered controversial today!!

jim morrison had a drinking problem long before that, and yeah i can connect to him and the alcohalism he had, because im becoming one my self. yo can hear the feelings and emotions in his singing. usually when someone sings blues and is acually sad, it makes it feel real to everyone listening. even though it was a bad time for jim he still managed to sing and thats what makes it special to me.

I got the poontang blues

This is so great!

This band got me more into blues from BB King to Lee Morgan.

Build a woman, great idea.

Build me a woman I can ball all night. Heard that.

Its on 'Absolutely Live', which has since been repackaged as 'The Doors In Concert' along with another live album 'Alive she cried'. The song was never on a studio album.

I'm a bass player and I fully agree!! HAHA! Long Live The DOORS!!!! :)

I got a one eyed woman, 10 feet tall. She overlooks half the things I do. Life is good. Even better with 'Doors'

Jim.

im in love Robby´s Gibson les paul custom 57 ^^

Well said. Totally agree. He was fucking amazing.

look at that guitar slide!!! its huge!!! and jim is freekin smashed... or at least hes askin like it.

Me encanta esta rola

LES SALIÓ FENOMENAL ESTA VERSIÓN DE BUILD ME A WOMAN EN VIVO..HUBIESE SIDO GENIAL ESTA VERSIÓN EN ESTUDIO..

MISS YOU JIM

Jim with a very cool look going on around this time. I'd rank it just behind Robert Plant & Roger Daltry circa 1972 on the coolness scale.

17 years ago. One of the first youtube videos

AWSOME!

THIS IS FUKIN ROCK AND ROLL!!!

40% Rock , 40% Blues and 20% Jazz (don't forget about john)

Great

You stole these words from my mouth. Ray is just great!!!!!!!

Супер!!!

Robbie's slide in underrated...

Great Song!!!

Robbie is a bad ass.
