This song is the essence of the Doors musical side.  Sweet, dark, pretty and thoughful all at once.

The Doors are still unmatched for sheer exuberance and creative panache-That cover is a representation of Jim Morrison's fascination with freaks and the world of carnival. Good follow up with Chris Isaak.

The Doors don't sound nearly as good live in my experience, but I have to wonder if that's because Morrison was high so often.  
 

Had the pleasure of seeing the Doors in Philly at the old Arena (where the Roller Derby track was), second show.  It was the tour after the infamous Miami incident.  The show was delayed in order to get still police chief Rizzo's cameras out of the hall.  Rizzo wanted to have cameras rolling in case there was a reprise of Morrison alledgedly exposing himself again.  They got the cameras out and the show started shortly after.  The cameras did come back shortly after the show started, but all they got was a really great show.

The sound was very good actually, at least for back then.  Halfway through the second set, Morrison jumped off the stage and roamed through the audience still singing as he did occasionally.  It was a more than worthy show.  They were in great form.  I did remeber Manzarek looking at Morrison alot wondering WTF was he going to do next.  The Doors may have had a set list, but in reality, they had to follow Morrison's lead and make adjustments on the fly to compensate.  The skills and musicianship of the band were way beyond their time. When they played live they never knew where it was going, they literally played by the seat of their pants, improvisationally.

So, you've never experienced the joy of a live performance? Would you rather just listen to the boom boom of fireworks on your Ipod earbuds rather than experience the visual spectacle? Give me live any day! Just sayin'.

The Doors - "10 Minute Interview" (1969)

"Jim Morrison and Ray Manzerek do most of the talking in this 10 minute cut of an interview with band taken in 1969. Jim wears shades throughout the interview and seems knocked out or up on something. They talk eloquently and with very considered response to the interviewer about their thoughts over many various topics. They talk about their thoughts on comparisons that have been suggested between their music and rock concerts becoming religious or spiritual experiences for the Youth of America at the time.
Note, the interesting response of Jim Morrison suggesting that he can see a time where concerts will be given by one man with a lot of machines."

are you talking about the band being overrated or the people overrating the songs here, seems like alot of people don't care for them on RP but ratings are still strong, maybe the people that listened to their "whole " body of music have different opinion cuz they sure don't all sound the same to me, the doors just weren't Morrison, the band was really quite good

Inspired song from a great album, with creative cover art to boot, a London soho street scene I believe. The doors at their best and most original; I mean who else sounded like them at the time?

Surely if Sarah Palin got lost in the Alaskan wilderness she could find her way out, right?  I mean, she can field dress a moose, so basic orientation should be simple.
