Yeah, Morrison -- even when sober -- was reputed to go off on tangents during concerts. You're absolutely right about the skills of the remaining band members to keep up with Jim's wandering. It's easy to see that in any recording of their concerts: Robby, John, and Ray watching Jim for a clue, and visually checking with each other.
Happens a lot in any band, but I suspect it happened a lot every time the Doors played live, especially towards the end.
<snip, snip> ... I did remember Manzarek looking at Morrison a lot 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.

The Doors music, like many more bands from the 60's & 70's, require being listened in the album's entirety.
Alone, they are good but the album is the only way to listen. i.e. A hand model is not the whole body. ;-)

Yeah, and the sound still stands up. Compared to a lot of their peers such as The Kinks, The Doors created a polished, well-crafted sound in the studio.
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.
I agree with almost all of this, except for the part where you slag off The Kinks.

Soundtrack to life on my '67 Triumph Daytona T100R. SoCal life was good, very good.

Nice one Bill - as 'It's Different For Girls' fades out on just the bass, "You're Lost Little Girl' starts up with just the bass!

BTW: This Doors track is one of my favorite slow burners from the band . Easily one of the most haunting of Morrison's lyrics. For themes of alienation and loneliness brought to life in living color, not many albums can match Strange Days. "Let's swim to the moon... let's climb through the tide... penetrate the evening that the city sleeps to hide." Timeless.
Here's to continued obsolescence and additional insights into your musical likes, etc. - reading your comments on The Doors' music reminds me that we'd probably get along. Long Live RP and short live HATE!!

When in Paris a few years had to go to pay my respects at Jim's grave. Amazing cemetry and well worth a visit. Even had a drunken Jim Morrison fan by his grave singing and playing the guitar.
Classic Morrison. No need to look it up. Most excellent.

My favorite Doors album and favorite Doors cover!
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.

I've never owned this album and this song never seemed to be played on radio. Thus RP is the first place I've heard it! Nice!
I typically can't stand Doors music, but this one is kind of nice.
This album got me through a long winter in Keflavik, Iceland. Love it!

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'.

"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."

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.
Bill — I see what you did there and I laughed.
Hmmm....playing Lost Little Girl right after Alaskan Pipeline specifically dedicated to Sarah Palin....conincidence? I think not!
Perfect song Bill...thanks for staying non-partisan. ;)
Hey folks! Leave Ichthyologist alone to dissect bits of fish flesh in the labratory.
Doors. Perhaps a tad dated. Maybe but this one and others are gorgeous as always.

I'd heard that Jim wrote this with Mia Farrow in mind (who was married to Frank Sinatra at the time). I hear a big Sinatra influence in Jim Morrison's singing and songwriting (I can picture Old Blue Eyes doing a cover of this--it's too bad he never did). Another Doors song that reminds me of Sinatra is "Wishful Sinful" from the Soft Parade album.
And you should see the woman shown on the back cover: she's a ringer for Mia.

I might have said that honor would go to Morphine (whom you give two of your meager three 10's), except that very few would actually bother to rate them at all.
Yah thanks this is great stuff.
The recent remasters of the Doors' CDs sound excellent! Many bonus tracks, too, although many are just unused takes of the usual songs.

Not to Jim, they weren't.
Excellent! You won't hear this great little number anywhere else. Way to go, Bill!
Thanks for the info!!...

Jim's girlfriend from his formative years gave an interview a few years ago in the St. Petersburg Times.
It's supposed to be her only interview ever concerning Jim:

AAHH... 
I'd heard that Jim wrote this with Mia Farrow in mind (who was married to Frank Sinatra at the time). I hear a big Sinatra influence in Jim Morrison's singing and songwriting (I can picture Old Blue Eyes doing a cover of this--it's too bad he never did). Another Doors song that reminds me of Sinatra is "Wishful Sinful" from the Soft Parade album.
I just like knowing why Jim sounded so relaxed when this was recorded....what can a girl do to relax a guy?
The little girl wasn't lost at all, unless she didn't know where Jim's lap was.
It's great to hear some Doors on here once in awhile. Thanks RP!

Carol Kaye on bass. Cool sound. Especially for a band that just couldn't swing, despite them getting the lifetime acheivement grammy this year. Go figure. Manzerick is 68. Jim will never age.
Can't believe I had not rated this one yet. Every time the Doors come on it's knee-jerk Sucko-Barfo rating time.
Would you like some cheese with your whine?
