Robby Krieger plans “A 60th Anniversary Doors Celebration” at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater
From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, The Doors came to be known as pioneers in rock music, with a series of influential albums that reshaped the landscape of popular music. Led by the charismatic Jim Morrison, along with keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore, the band from Los Angeles showcased a blend of rock, blues, and psychedelia that became their signature sound. Following the release of their final album, L.A. Woman, and Morrison’s untimely death in 1971, The Doors’ journey came to an end, but not before cementing their reputation as one of the premier bands of their time, leaving a lasting impact on subsequent generations of musicians.
To commemorate the 60th anniversary of The Doors’ inception, Robby Krieger has unveiled plans for “A 60th Anniversary Doors Celebration,” scheduled to take place at the renowned Greek Theater in Los Angeles on October 30. The event will showcase a retrospective of the timeless tracks from the band’s pivotal 1970 album, Morrison Hotel, alongside essential fan favorites from their extensive repertoire. Krieger and his band will be joined by a rotating lineup of guest vocalists throughout the show, with the evening kicking off with an opening performance by the experimental electronic group Tripform, featuring Pablo Manzarek, the son of The Doors’ late keyboardist.
Reflecting on the enduring legacy of The Doors, Krieger expressed his gratitude, stating, “Sixty years ago, when The Doors were at the peak of their success, I could never have imagined that decades later, we would still be celebrating and performing The Doors’ music. I feel incredibly fortunate that to this day, fans continue to approach me, sharing their love for the music we created. The kindness shown by those who recognize me only seems to grow over time, and I consider it a privilege to have such dedicated fans.”
