The Doors’ John Densmore and Robby Krieger on Their 60th Anniversary, Archival Concert Recordings and the L.A. Fires (EXCLUSIVE)
John Densmore and Robby Krieger of the Doors discuss the band's 60th anniversary and the group's ongoing series of archival concert recordings.
Krieger and Densmore each realize that the 60-year legacy of the Doors — their innovative, influential partnership with lizard king poet Jim Morrison(who died in 1971) and organist-pianist Ray Manzarek (who passed 2013) — and the continued sales of their Rhino catalog, including new rarity releases, is the headline for this story. Thinking back to first playing in Manzarek’s parents’ garage in Manhattan Beach with Morrison in attendance (“Jim was so fucking shy, he wouldn’t sing”), Densmore brings his past into his present by recalling the nascent Doors’ debut jam. That said, both Densmore and Krieger have been thrilled to see additional studio sessions attached to each new Doors’ catalog re-release and that the Bright Midnight Archives of rare, never-before-released concert recordings are being heard by loving fans and novices alike.
