Manzarek and Krieger Defined The Psycodelic side of Blues and Jazz... And Morrison just put it in words... But we cannot forget the groovy drums of John Densmore

[@zylac4305]

Morrison did more than just put the words, he was a composer and guided the band. If he was born with today’s technology he would’ve easily made music like Kanye West, Pharrell, you name it. He even predicted the type of music they make with machines.

[@badhause]

​@@zylac4305hay una entrevista de Jim donde hace esa predicción ,donde dice con 26 años sentirse viejo .....me gustaría encontrarla

[@TheListenerCanon]

@@zylac4305 Was Morrison even the leader of the band? I've always thought there was no official leader.

[@BigKevsPlace1]

You have it backwards. Morrison had the words. Manzarek and Krieger AND Densmore built their music AROUND those words to create the mesmerizing psychedelics that still resonate today due to the “universal” compositions.

[@ivegroulx]

Thanks Robby Krieger for playing this wonderful song I'm 69 and this song will never die. 🎶The Doors 🎶

[@Fendibson]

It makes my heart so warm that Robby and John are still playing today. Gives the people who weren't alive in the 60s a chance to experience it like it's still 1967. Even with both Jim and Ray gone.

[@stevencopley5487]

Yup, tears. 😭 I love this so much. I at 68 didn't even discover The Doors until this year (2023). I feel like I missed so much and have had to make up for it. I bought the collection and have been reading a lot of books including Robby's...such a fascinating history and what a time to have been living in LA...amazing.

[@Idromme]

55 years later and Robbys still bringing it. Awesome

[@bondgabebond4907]

The year was 1967. Graduated from High School. Same year The Doors and Strange Days came out. Never will forget the total enjoyment of the period. These groups can make a 3-5 minute song for the radio, and stretch it to 30 minutes in a concert hall. 60s Rock Is King.

[@lopezb]

I graduated in '69. In '67 We drove out to CA and I heard the long version of this on the radio from SF (KPFA?) in my grandma's house. It was so exciting! That same summer Purple Haze and Brown-Eyed Girl came out... we still had short hair; our folks let us go over to the Fillmore to catch a show: The Doors, Richie Havens, James Cotton Blues Band. Morrison was wasted (supposedly he had been given STP?) but the show was great nevertheless. He did not fall off the stage, and the sound was excellent. It's so great that Robbie is still doing this, and doing it so well. Fascinating about how the song arose. Never knew about the reference to Coltrane but absolutely!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. I was 10 years old when Light My Fire was released, when Robby included These Are Some Of My Favorite Things into his guitar solo I couldn't help getting chocked up remembering what it was like being a child growing up and listing to all of this great music when it was new during the late 1960's. Delightful.

[@mpt2558]

The assembled musicians who joined Robbie in this rendition brought it to a whole new level. Much respect, I think Jim would have approved. My favorite jam of all time, privileged to have seen Robbie many times and been hypnotized by that guitar.

Best surf song of all time. Driving up and down the coast of Florida in 68-69 looking for waves in Cocoa, Satellite, Sebastian Inlet, Reef Rd, NSB, Ormond, Blowhole. The Doors made travelling easy

[@Datsun280zxman]

I didn’t start listening to the Doors until I was 21 in 1980. I thought they were great then and I still do, shows how far ahead of their time they really are.

[@stevencopley5487]

I didn't start listening until this year 2023...at 67. Ya, I always knew the name, that guy that died and Light My Fire but it wasn't until this year that I went into a deep dive about everything Doors. I am now a fan for the rest of my life. I bought their collection and a lot of books...A documented fascinating history and time for music and to be in LA. Peace. 🙏

Robbery you are ROCK Thank you

[@Rayburn58]

This is absolutely one of the very greatest rock songs of all time. No other rock song ever recorded was better. As well the Doors as a band do not take a back seat to any rock band. The songwriting and arrangements of this band are remarkable. While Jim Morrison was a great vocalist and wrote some fantastic lyrics, most to the credit of the Doors greatness goes to the three instrumental band members. Their artistic creativity and originality is off the charts and second to none. The Doors Music is so incredibly diverse and overall their sound cannot be placed in any category.

[@Angel-VTek]

Light my fire + my fav things. What a masterpiece!

[@louise_rose]

The jazz undercurrent in the band was always part of it, obviously in Ray's organ playing but also in Robbie's guitar. The Coltrane connection he brings up feels quite natural. By the way, this song points forward to early Yes, doesn't it? - another band with jazz and soul influences. And yes, this is a superb version of LMF.

[@missiontotransition641]

Just finished reading Robbie's book! amazing stories! one of the best rock bio's ive read in some time. I love how they add the horn solos...gives it more of that jazzy feel. Far out to see Robbie play that solo in 2021!

What’s genuinely amazing is that the first song he ever wrote turns out to be the summer of Loves most popular song and a number one single for the Doors that put them on the map. So he didn’t just hit a home run, he hit a Grand Slam! After this hit, they went from clubs to stadiums. And he’s still so quiet and humble. The Late Great Ray Manzerak said Krieger was the Doors secret weapon. He also wrote Love me two times and Don’t you love me madly. Incredible guitarist and songwriter!

Always felt that Robbie was the coolest member of the doors. That SG played slung up high (compared to Page and Townshend), the crazy hair, cool clothes, the shades and almost expressionless face. Think he took ten steps within a three foot radius total per show. He was by far the most understated guitar hero of his generation.

[@jacksprat3009]

Light My Fire is one of the anthems of the 60's and more, of revolutions of the body and the mind. After the magic of the time I can understand wanting to keep it going. Me too! But you can't recreate something as unique, as living as "Light My Fire." Just can't be done. It's like trying to paint a picture of a flame. You can get close, and people might say, "Oh, that's just like a flame (or any living thing) and they might be right. "Like" the real thing but NOT the real thing. Rock on Robbie!
