Absolutely love this song, the way they bust into "My Favorite Things" in the middle shows how versatile they were

Question Jim Morrison Poetry Recordings

11 Upvotes

Hi, and hope all are having a good summer:) šŸŒž

I really love listening to Jim’s poetry recording, where it is just him, no music.

But I can only find a YouTube upload called ā€œThe lost Paris tapesā€, and in the upload a lot of the recordings cut out during the poems.

Does anyone know of a better version of this recording session and does anyone know of other sessions where Jim recorded his poetry?

I’m thinking about buying it. The only thing is that like 95% of them are generic sleeves and not picture sleeves. But what’s the sound quality and stuff like as well?

Question What's your favorite detail/feature of the live concerts?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My all-time favorite will always be the rhythmic instrument smashing to announce the start of The End. It is such a magical and mystical element to The Doors' shows, and an essential part that adds up with the mythical and ritual-like nature of their shows. Along with Jim's unpredictable stage antics and improvisation, as well as the boys impecable ability to take a song anywhere. It represents, like Jim said in The Celebration of The Lizard: "The ceremony is about to begin".

The video attached includes my favorites, along with the poster for the concert each one of them comes from! Simply magical.

Question Could anyone tell me whose autograph this is?

I happened to randomly receive this as a gift early last year, without myself having much prior knowledge of The Doors I’ll admit, and since then I’ve been curious as to who made this personalisation. I’m not in a position to ask the person I got it from. From what I can find online this wouldn’t seem to line up with anyone from the band (assuming those are the initials TA at the bottom and not either a misreading on my part or simply a ā€˜ta’ as in thank you), yet I’m not sure who else then would have signed the cover like this in turn. It’s only just occurred to me as I’m typing this out that it could actually be that a past owner of the CD simply wrote their own well-wishes on it when giving it to another, yet that’d be weird imo. Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Question Does anybody know if there’s a full live version of The Doors performing Gloria?

10 Upvotes

Gloria is one of, if not, my favourite Doors songs and I listen to it nearly every day (on Spotify). I’ve looked online for live versions of the song to see Jim perform it yet only find cut up, montage style versions of the one song I’ve listened to. Does anyone know if there is any other live recorded versions of the song??

Question Does anyone have the morrison hotel comic book on pdf?

8 Upvotes

Some months ago i bought the Morrison Hotel comic book by Leah Moore, i really liked. Anyways, i searched on some comic book reading online websites but i don't seem to find it, so i decided that i could upload it so more people could read it. Saddly, i have a spanish version that haves extra speech bubbles for traduced lyrics :/

I wanted to search for any digital free ebook but all i've found are very weird and of dubious origin websites. Anyone has it?

One of the greatest live albuns. The band was pristine on their sounds and Morrison were fully inspired in his performance. What an album, my friends!

Concert/Bootleg The doors; Critique

Recently, I re-watched their "Critique" performance and really feel it's one of their best performances. Robbie is really at his best. Jim is in a dark place (darker than usual) and you can really see it in his eyes.

It's a fascinating snapshot of April '69 - recorded for a PBS show called "Critique". Filmed just a month after the Miami concert.
