Stay in touch with The Doors…

*******************

The Doors channel is the official YouTube home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.

The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger – a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

"Roadhouse Blues" probably laid the path for careers of ZZ Top and the Vaughan brothers. AM radio blues!

[TZKeyz]

I saw the Doors in '71 when this album came out.

[judelssyfuentes]

Genial...ver a John Densmore y Bruce Botnick aún trabajando con la música de The Doors.  Felicitaciones a la mejor Banda.

[chrisbrimhall]

Although Morrison did much of the writing and was a good front man when sober, I feel the other members kinda get the short end of the stick fo4 their contribution to the Doors

[majorblitz]

Love doing this song live with my band. I figured out how to play most of the harps in between versus. It can be challenging but plenty of fun.

[wildrosesfortheexit]

This is great they need to make as much content as they can why they are still here! Wish Ray was part of it
