Riders on the Storm - The Doors HD
Музыка
Rest in Peace Ray, you are with your old friend now
MUST SEE for Doors and Jim Morrison Fans Live Video Performance in HD
The song was recorded at the Doors Workshop in December 1970 with the assistance of Bruce Botnick, their longtime engineer, who was co-producing the recording sessions. Jim Morrison recorded his main vocals and then whispered the lyrics over them to create the echo effect. This was the last song recorded by the members of The Doors, according to Manzarek, as well as Morrison's last recorded song to be released. The single was released in 1971, shortly before Morrison's death
I put this video together to get a sence of how it may have been, the live video was taken from a concert in Toronto Canada 1967 the song, the end.
Another great concert, try this - • Video

Besides their exceptionally beautiful instrumental soundscapes, mesmerizing, hypnotic keyboards. And the one thing that I really love about Morrison is that he didn't sing like the howling, growling, screaming rock singers of the era, as he was much more of a romantic crooner, like Sinatra, etc. - which really made them sound very unique and against the day's rock vocal conventions. Morrison had this warm, velvety, soothing voice. And like all great poets, he truly knew how to paint pictures with words, in such a way that the listener's mind is left to conjure up imagery per his own experiences and sensibilities. And this approach gives a different sense of the songs' meanings, from listen to listen and especially over a long period of time and further personal experiences. He had wondrous artistic gifts, but money, fame and alcohol were not his friends.

I remember hearing The Doors “Riders on the Storm” on Armed Forces Vietnam Radio in 1971. Riders on the Storm was introduced by the popular, super cool radio personality Wolfman Jack. He recorded his radio programs in the US which were then flown to Vietnam and broadcast on AFVN. I served in Northern I Corps; from Hue/Phu Bai, then Fire Bases Sally, Nancy, Barbara, Quang Tri, Dong Ha located along Route 1 to Mai Loc, Vandergrift, and Khe Sanh located along Route 9. In 1971, Fire Base Khe Sanh was a very reduced version of the famous 1968 Marine Combat Base. I took part in the reactivation of Khe Sanh during Operation Dewey Canyon II supporting Operation Lam Son 719, the South Vietnamese invasion of Laos. During the night of 23 March an NVA sapper attack killed 3 Americans, destroyed several aircraft and 2 ammunition dumps. This Fire Base was abandoned again in late 1971. When Riders on the Storm played on AFVN radio, I would sit quietly, brooding in the muddy, pest infested, sandbagged bunkers, and fighting positions stunned and overwhelmed by the beautiful dark lyrics. Although, there were different meanings for this song; my interpretation led me to realize, at 19, that I was a small insignificant person in the chaotic Vietnam war, world, and universe. I was surrounded by the war, frightened and alone. Help was not on the way so I had to hang on and survive the storm. Deft, sophisticated and ominous, the last verse, “The world on you depends, our life will never end” Riders on the Storm became a spiritual song. If I die, I won’t occupy this body but my spirit does not end. Over 50 years later, when I listen to Riders on the Storm, I’m still deeply moved by the music, and lyrics.
Great music, excellent guitar riffs and let's not forget the amazing vocals of the one and only Jim Morrison. Not enough adjectives to describe The Doors.

The beauty of this song is encapsulating many aspects of existence in 7 minutes. Creation, innocence, impression, fidelity, temptation, loss, angst, sadness, solace, and much more. A timeless piece that continues to resonate through the universe infinitely, teaching anyone who listens to the truth, it is within our grasp to understand.

Manzarek is one if not the most underrated keyboard player and composer. Morrison was a front men out of this world because his style was in symbiose with the riffs. Without Manzarek there's no Doors or Morrison.
Absolutely magnificent 👌 👏
Still one of my absolute favorite songs and bands.
Nunca habrá un cantante como Jim Morrison, con una excelente voz, muy varonil y sensual, un físico muy atractivo y una personalidad rebelde y magnética, su música durará por siempre.

Cuando era adolescente me encantaba Jim Morrison por su sensual físico, pero ya de adulta me gusta más el lado de su personalidad, su talento, si forma de pensar y su lado místico Escucho las canciones con un enfoque diferente y creo que esa parte de Jim Morrison me gusta más ahora que la parte del físico aunque claro que guapo siempre será

When Jim told the lyrics of "Moonlight Drive" to Ray, the Doors started.
Ray Manzarek's work...he really built this musical masterpiece... Genius.
Imagine a concert with such a great band and no freaking phones. I'm not THAT old but i still miss the no phone era.
Happy Birthday Jim. Dec 8 2023 you would be 80 today
just sit in your car and crank this song up as loud as you can stand it and close your eyes , it's like your in a storm .love it.
Listening to this track during a rain it's an exciting experience: I just did it because in my city it's raining for the first time in this summer and in that moment I remembered how epic is "Riders on the storm". Thanks to Jim, Ray, John and Rob for this timeless masterpiece. Long life for the lizard king!
