Eines meiner All Time Favorites. Hier erzählt Ray Manzarek, der inzwischen verstorbene Pianist der Doors, wie das Lied entstanden ist und zeigt nebenbei, was für einen schönen Klang ein Rhodes Piano hat 🙂
(gefunden bei Das Kraftfuttermischwerk)
und natürlich das Original:
… The song was recorded at the Doors Workshop in December 1970 with the assistance of Bruce Botnick, their longtime engineer, who was co-producing the recording sessions. Jim Morrison recorded his main vocals and then whispered the lyrics over them to create the echo effect. This was the last song recorded by the members of The Doors, according to Manzarek, as well as Morrison’s last recorded song to be released. The single was released in 1971, shortly before Morrison’s death I put this video together to get a sence of how it may have been, the live video was taken from a concert in Toronto Canada 1967 the song, the end.
