🎥: “The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)” at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968. This track was shaped by the powerful Tex-Mex border radio stations that Jim and Ray listened to while growing up, which immersed them in Blues and early rock ’n’ roll that would later influence their sound. Watch the full performance here: found.ee/TheWaspLive

March 13th, 1967, The Doors kicked off a 21-night engagement at Ondine. It was a short-lived but ultra-exclusive nightclub in Manhattan that operated for just two years. Photos courtesy of Getty Images.

The moments leading up to the show... “I don’t think any one performance is like any other... I like to let each thing happen — direct it a little consciously, maybe, but just kind of follow the vibrations I get in each particular circumstance. We don’t plan theatrics. We hardly ever know which set we’ll play.” -Jim Morrison #TheDoors #JimMorrison

Happy Birthday to Ray Manzarek, the visionary keyboardist behind The Doors’ unmistakable sound. From the opening notes of “Light My Fire” to the atmosphere of “Riders on the Storm,” his playing continues to shape and define the music. "’See that guy,’ Jim Morrison once remarked, pointing to Ray...’He is The Doors.’” -ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE Photo courtesy of Getty Images.
