I'm 71 years old and I have always loved the Doors, but it wasn't until I got a smart phone that I realized how much they did in just 4 or 5 years.

Everything they did totally hold up. They were timeless, revolutionary and totally unique! 💟

There will never be another band that will take you on a mind bending trip like the DOORS. They are the top of the mountain. Thank you boys. Your music changed my life. RIP Jim. RIP Ray

Good for you. Please don't take the Oliver Stone's movie Version seriously, he got it wrong in all the important ways. When i did not know that, i thought that was most all true. I've been a fan since 91, when I was 12 years old. Best band from that era.

That was on "Soft Parade" album. they also didnt cover the last 2 albums

My father was a record collector and gave me the doors albums and a record player when I was very young. I have been a fan my entire life. They are incredible and incomparable! ❤

Who needs these talking heads. Listen to Ray Manzarek, he was an incredible musician and story teller, and you can hear him in several documentaries talking about the Doors. Ray was the man, pure genius.

I remember exactly where I was the moment I heard that Jim just passed!! Shock sadness and where will our music go???…Janis Hendrix et al…,,😢😢 Thanks for your vibe and talent ❤ You are missed!

Thank you, Ray, Jim, Robby, John, for creating this beautiful, mystical music. Their sound is like nothing else, nothing comes even close. The Doors forever ❤❤❤❤

Hey guys, Ray was playing the bass with his left hand, on what was called a piano bass, not his feet.

I have never seen waiting for the sun as a letdown album. The only one of theirs before Jim died was The Soft Parade, and that is mainly because of the production but it also has great songs. They had 5 great albums and one ok one. That is incredible

While Jim was the front man, the Doors never had a weak album, imo. But I’m very biased considering they’re my favorite American band ever and always will be. As us fans will say, they were undoubtedly ahead of their time. There will never be another combination of players like this. They were uniquely talented musically, but not enough could ever be said about the depth of Jim’s lyrics. And if there were ever a song to convert someone into an avid fan, it would have to be “ The End. “

“You could tell that they jammed a lot and the songs came out of the jam.” That’s exactly how I’ve always envisioned the Doors creative process. That was the way to create back then. Just play and play for hours while gelling as musicians, developing your own sound, and creating original ideas. It’s just my opinion, but, I don’t think many bands today are willing to work that hard anymore. They all want overnight success using Pro-Tools and social media. It’s just not the same.

Some of my best memories are tripping acid with friends just relaxing and listening to the Doors while the house breathed with me.

I love Waiting for the Sun. I think there may be a lot of truth about where the band was at the time but it was great to hear them go off in a different direction. Yes the river know! Love it.

10:21 What a homage. The way this guy described it blew me away. I absolutely hear this song so much different, better. Fucking timeless!

In the 60's We had the Beach Boys, over in England they had the Beatles, over seas had bands coming into their own, like the Stones,etc. But no one , no where, could come close to The Doors !!! Bands were widening their psychological bandwidth, mostly with drugs, but the Lizard King was already way ahead of them!!!

I've been a fan of the Doors forever. Their music is magical. Jim is otherworldly. Hard not to relate to their music. Jim is #1.

This was just great. New to me, finding a lot of footage i haven't seen. I wish they did this for each cut of each album. The intervies and confessionals were perfectly done.

The first song I ever heard of the doors was the same as Ray moonlight drive and from that moment I became a fan.this was in the 90s as I was 15 and later in the 90s tried lsd while listening to the door would free my mind and I would end up writing or 362 songs and poems

incredible insight into all the classic hits, love this doc!

Arguably, Robby Krieger’s main influence as a guitar player was flamenco. Already one of the “experts” on here is describing his sound as jazz, and blues - but no flamenco! He also was in a jug band! I’m not that far in, but is it worth it to keep listening to these guys?

In 1967, upon hearing The Doors, I thought, "Baroque, dark, curious, great musicianship."

Good takes..use to hear-break on through- before light my fire, on Los Angeles radio…and it was Dave Diamond, a local dj that played lots of Doors & Dave pushed them to edit light my fire…

this one album was enough to blow my mind..nothing but the best!

He was done with rock and roll.

Thanks for this

Glad you enjoyed it!

Their first album still stands up. It's dark, brooding, laden with LSD references, and wholly their own. After that they seemed to get increasingly self-conscious, trying to alter their sound to suit fans, critics, and not themselves L.A. Woman saw them produce themselves and it's a equally great but Morrison's voice is shot and the entire thing is pervaded by a kind of psychic exhaustion.

Viva the Doors por siempre, Morrison, un genio, el hombre más bello de todos los tiempos, le amo por siempre

This video is largely bloated by several guys just pretending to know what they're talking about. Quite annoying. Hey, I'm still watching it though.

It is an exceptional achievement when a band ( Like The Doors ) that broke up over 50 years ago is still selling millions of albums/ CD's a year. As a working, touring, album making band the Doors weren't around for to long only around 5 years The Doors where the last band all the critics thought would still be selling millions of albums a year over 50 years later.

Not a word? They mentioned quite a few times, that Jim would add his poetry and improvise on jams, developing songs. Was that what you were referring to? I am not busting on you, just trying to see if I got you right. I wish this was longer. This was very well done. Feeling the pulse of the music thru Disc Jockeys. Radio has shifted thru the years, where that whole radio grapevine is pretty much gone. Like now it's just listening to what you want. Not listening to the radio with a open mind. I used to love DJ's, do their personality thing and push music.

most people don't know this but the VERY FIRST band to ever be referred as "gothic rock" in the music press is THE DOORS. but, of course, since the british have somehow managed to convince the whole planet that "goth" is an exclusively british invention with zero help from any other nationality i quite literally NEVER hear THE DOORS referred to as a goth band or even proto goth.

What about the song "L.A. Woman"?

And The Soft Parade?

19:22 💀

Did they mention LA Woman? Yhe last album?

Anyone has the link of the part 2?

Great documentary- terrible ending.

ROBBY 'KRY-GER' LOL ,THE JOURNALIST WITH LONGISH HAIR SAID

When your mom is over turn out the light yeah yeahhhhh

No offense, but these interviewees are kind of lame. Not %100, but kind of lame. Down with the Davos group!!!

I'd rather have Elmer The Safety Elephant's commentary than these know - nothings

Suddenly Robbie is «Kraiger» and not Kriiiieger. Live and....unlearn?

love critics ...as Jim would say ....work it out ..just words ..I play ..so do you ..meanings are double edged ..Jim thought it was funny ...yeh he will ..Iys artist ..theatre ...books ...art ...playing the game ...play with it ..although ..amazing writer of songs ,songs ..sort of old world ..I like it ..he would laugh

The talking heads on this are pretty rubbish in general. The guy getting confused with Alabama Song and Crystal Ship is laughable. There's too many of these cheap docs on Sky Arts with the same "experts" talking about every single band on the planet

Who cares what these guys think.
