You Need Meat (Don't go no further)

One of Ray's finest moments during the 4 Door period with some cracking 'Screamin' Ray' vocals and some awesome Chicago blues piano playing from the Doorsmeister.
Probably came from one of the periods during the LA Woman sessions when Jim was off being Jim somewhere leaving the 3 Doors to amuse themselves with a bit of the blues....sucha s this Willie Dixion cover........ended up as a B Side to Love Her Madly and is an under rated Doors gem regardless of its lack of Morrison input.
Ray was a great singer back then even though he was obviously overshadowed by Jim Morrison and his vocal excursions during Doors gigs were always enjoyable even though most Doors fans do not give the guy the credit he deserves. Features some nice guitar from Mr Krieger too............

You need meat,
go to the market
You need bread,
try the bakery
You need lovin',
look here baby
I got just what you need
I gotta love somebody (x3)
Somebody's gonna love me

You need money, go to the bank dear
You need honey, look to the bee
You need lovin,
c'mon here woman
Well I got just what you need
I gotta love somebody (x3)
Somebody's gonna love me

Its actually a pretty good song

Listen to: The Doors - (You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further



Awesome rocking Doors courtesy of Screaming Ray Manzarek, John's pounding drums and Robby making his guitar really scream.

I wonder where Jim actually was when the guys did this song.
Bet he would have enjoyed it if he had been in the control room.

Another cover from the bands early club days and was noted to have been played during their London Fog engagement from February 1966.

The original Dixon lyric.
You need meat, go to the market
You need bread, try the bakery
If you need love, baby
Don’t go no further
Just come on home with me

I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I want somebody, to love me

You need grits, go to the grocery
You need fish, go to the sea
You need love, baby
Don’t look no further
Just come on home with me

I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I want somebody, to love me

You need money, go to the bank dear
You need honey, look for the bees
You need love, baby
Don’t go no further
Just come on home with me

I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I want somebody, to love me

I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I got to love somebody
I want somebody, to love me.
