Remember this dude wrote “people are strange”
That was really lovely of him
*Jim gently wiping blood / consoling* I think I can hear her eggs drop.
She’s thinking about how her friends will never believe her when she tells this story
I went to the cemetery in Paris where he is buried. Not just to see his grave but to take a walk and see many famous graves. There was a woman about my age hanging out by Morrisons grave. She started talking to me about him. She had traveled to Paris and spent nearly the entire previous day sitting alone at his tombstone. And it was about noon and she planned on staying there until the place closed. And the next day.
She was born after the guy died! She seemed pretty level headed but who the heck sits at a single grave for three days after traveling to Paris from the USA?
People are nuts. Plus the grave is fenced off now so she couldn’t even sit very close to it.
Great footage
One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen him at, now a long time ago. Still a great guy.
He’s so high, I’m high; and this was 54 years ago. Damn.
Lol Jim’s such a weirdo but I think his intentions were good
She looks like she could have dropped in from the 80’s
Now I see how magnetic he is. I bet she’ll never forget that
“I’m sorry that happened to you my fans are crazy. We were going to do some drugs, do you wanna do some drugs with us?”
“I don’t DO drugs…… normally, but hell yes Jim Morrison let’s do some drugs!”
It’s all coagulated
Dudes so high he’s floating.
Not so sure she’s sober either lol
She’s like… I’m suddenly ok but still gimme a quaalude.
RONNIE CUTRONE: I loved Jim Morrison dearly, but Jim was not fun to go out with. I hung out with him every night for just about a year, and Jim would go out, lean up against the bar, order eight screwdrivers, put down six Tuinals on the bar, drink two or three screwdrivers, take two Tuinals, then he’d have to pee, but he couldn’t leave the other five screwdrivers, so he’d take his dick out and pee, and some girl would come up and blow his dick, and then he’d finish the other five screwdrivers and then he’d finish up the other four Tuinals, and then he’d pee in his pants, and then Eric Emerson and I would take him home. That was a typical night out with Jim. But when he was on acid, then Jim was really fun and great. But most of the time he was just a lush pill head.
RAY MANZAREK: Jim was a shaman.

He’s nurturing.
Sixteen stitches put her right, and her dad said
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you”
Sally got married to a rock musician
She met in California
Tommy always talks about the day
The disciples all went wild
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
To remind her of his smile
Wow they sure don’t make ‘em like that battle axe kicking people out of the area anymore.
You think she still alive?
The Doors is well worth a watch. Val Kilmer did a great job of portraying him.
This event actually inspired Pete Townshend to write “Sally Simpson” off of The Who’s album, Tommy
I heard someone also got whacked by a door at a chair’s concert
It’s crazy that she was brought back stage (a police officer carrying her), and hanging out with the band while things were sorted out. That older lady guarding/shutting the door (the door-lol) was stressed!
Then I swear, Jim just wiped the side of my brow gently and said “here. It’s already coagulating. “
I visited his grave in France in 1993. And now I just realized a lot more time has passed between 93 and now than his death to 1993.
Sigh.
The man is in that post lsd peak clarity
She was having a MOMENT.
It always surprises me when JM doesn’t look like Val Kilmer
I think she’s beautiful
Jim just rubbing some spit in her laceration.
As much hate as Jimmy Fallon gets on here, I can’t think of the Doors without thinking of Fallon’s cover of the Reading Rainbow theme song in the style of Jim Morrison. That song went harder than it had any right to.
I’m not jealous of her having Jim stroke her face, no….
God I love him.
When he starts dabbing away some blood on her face you can just see it on her face that she’s trying to take in as much of that moment as she can. xD
Wow, something actually old school and cool and not a repost
I love his voice
I’ve seen images of Jim Morrison before and heard The doors but I genuinely think this is the first time I’ve ever seen him just talking. I’m not sure exactly what I expected of him but he seems so…normal? I mean he seems high but it’s weird to see someone who seems so larger than life as just a regular person.
Fuuuuuck, he’s just so so cute, I’ve never seen video footage of him not singing. Sheesh.
This makes me realize how good Van Kilmer’s portrayal was. The voice is spot on
He was just unfairly cool. Like could steal your girl and you couldn’t even be mad about it cool
Injured by a chair, healed by a Door.
The man had a 149 IQ! Super smart
and broken, but had a big heart. Not to mention, a great singer, and big personality!
I’ve been reading all these comments; Yes, I”m still around. Not anywhere near a Karen. The concert was actually in August, ’68. The girl in the red dress is my sister. I was 16 and just graduated HS. I was concussed and needed 30 stitches to close the crack in my skull.
