Ray Manzarek was a keyboard genius!

I like how the song meanders through its instrumental section and then bursts back to the original motif. The contrast makes it so enjoyable and lively to me it’s brilliant

I’m so glad you reacted to the long version and not the truncated singles version

I think of 'Light My Fire' as an instrumental piece with a vocal intro and outtro. The lack of conventional structure was pretty much the shape of things to come in prog rock.

Interresting that you noticed aSpanish feel to the guitar. Robby Krieger studied Flamenco guitar before he joined the Doors.

As a 70 year old who grew up with The Doors, I always thought the choice of organ sounds on their first few albums created a feeling of being at a carnival which were very popular in the 60's. No one sounded like them.

I heard Ray Manzarek, the Doors keyboardist, say in a radio interview that he was thankful that his parents made him practice his classical piano lessons. It shows in his playing.
