๐ธWhat about a show makes music better in your opinion?
The channeling of the spirit. The eternal search for a moment in time, when a band becomes a single voice,,,, a comic cosmic symphony,,,, Soul stirrings,,,,๏ฟผ๏ฟผ
Robby, being there watching the incredible guitar solos and drum fills that you’ve heard on the incredible albums. At one concert, we were literally less than 10 ft, away from the stage!
The live aspect of hearing your favorite musicians playing your favorite songs. I saw you at the Belly Up over 30 years ago. You opened for Leon Russell with your son. Although Leon was obviously a very good musician I came there to see you. You played the Doors hits simple and straightforward just like you always have done and it remains one of my favorite concerts to this day. I even walked backstage and enjoyed chatting with you. The Doors remain my favorite band to this day. I look forward to seeing your show October 30th. Thx for the great music!
The exchange of energy between the band and audience. I don't like the audience who just sits there with no energy, dance damnit! ๐คฃ
DAN Rothchild makes your shows better! I loved the City Winery gigs where you can sit down and order a drink to your table! We were packed in like sardines at The Whisky but definitely a great vibe there!
The thing is, the Waylon episode won't be tolerated.
When everything is in spiritual sync There is a certain feeling A certain communion A certain kind of magic It transcends the time and place you are in To become a rebirth of the senses and soul ๐
It's live and loud. Way better than the stereo System. And sometimes You get to meet the artist.
A talented guitarist
Lighting and equipment to gaga over, original and genuine beats and rythym
Live baby! Warts and all is were the magic happens! ๐โค๏ธ๐

๐ธWhatโs your favorite guitar riff EVER?
LA women boom
man, that's a toughie...so many grab the ear & soul.......right now i'm diggin' grant greens' version of miles " so what "........which to me is like miles davis beethovens' 5th !....it is that much a magnum opus
Ok..Robbie..I just want to say I have been loving your music..since I was 19..so that was like 1990...so...I picked up a guitar ..your ball room days are over..night is drawing near..shadow of the evening...Get together one more time....๐ฅฐ
Robby, there are so many , but only considering yours, Spanish Caravan, Love Me Two Times, Land Ho, Roadhouse Blues.
' Let it slide '. Always when i 've listening that song i going back to "strange days", and strange acts, adventures, and The people, and trips trough the space, and mistical world's
Whole Lotta Love.... and We Could Be So Good Together ๐
Any guitar work you did on Light My Fire. That has remained my favorite song of all time and its the ring tone on my cell. I never get tired of it. Saw you back in 1991 in Solana Beach and looking forward to seeing you again at the Greek Theater!
The intro to "The End", every time I hear it I close my eyes and let it just take me away... Thank you for that
End of "talking shit about a pretty sunset" by modest mouse.
This first part has more of a jazz fusion taste than rock, that shows a real evolution of sound and creativity. Lots of musicians get stuck in an era maybe because what the fans are expecting? ๐ค
Sunshine of Your Love (Sorry, Robbie) with Moonlight Drive and that AWESOME slide guitar a red c.h. behind!
The Doors ~ Love Me Two Times In general...Sabbath ~ Supernaut
Hard to choose, but for one, I love Robby's riff on Soul Kitchen, which imitates James Brown's horn section. Also love the riff on Love Me Two Times. For bands other than The Doors, I like the guitar riffs on Crossroads and Born Under a Bad Sign, as covered by Cream.
The circle of fifths, from Love me 2 times. Also the guitar solos from Wasted Years, by Iron Maiden
Well besides all of yours I’d have to say Slash ๐ธ has a few of my favorites starting with Sweet Child Of Mine ๐ Joe Perry has one, two or a few Dream On and the rest are in Blues / jazz tunes…. Boogie Chillin comes to mind
MOONLIGHT DRIVE...i can listen to it for the rest of my life and its still brand new every time! The slide in this tune is just deeply romantic! Perfection!
Light My Fire has an excellent solo, but my favorite is ‘Time’ by Pink Floyd
My cell notifications plays Love me two times guitar rif and Jim's voice "love me two times baby" ๐๐Never tire of hearing it everyday. Love forever.๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ธ๐ค
Wild child .So hypnotic! We could be so good together Five to one Love me two times Soul kitchen Roadhouse blues. But Wild Child just stands out to me.. Black keys were probably inspired by it with their hit "Lonely Boy",and maybe Black Sabbath were inspired by it too with their song "wicked world".
Which Riff of any other guitarist does Robby Krieger wish he had written?
Opening Riff on Peace Frog!
It’s impossible to chose just one. Especially one of Robby’s. I would say Mood Light Drive, Spanish Caravan. And; One- James Hatfield, Metallica.
Robby Krieger wrote many great riffs with the Doors. Roadhouse Blues is probably the best known riff that he created. Love Me Two times was another great riff. Myself, I like 20th Century Fox. That's a great song... ๐
A riff well i love all you're riff Robby but a great solo by jimmy page "stairway to heaven" live at MSG in 1973 it gives me chills♥๏ธ♥๏ธ♥๏ธ
"I Don't Need No Doctor" (Live at the Fillmore ) by Humble Pie ..and for you "The End" (long version) ๐
๐ธFine tuning things for Oct. 30th! Drop a song youโre hoping to hear!
๐Greek Theatre
In the top of Electronica the organ Is used in chopped mode as Attack to another chord
New drummer?
Made my day guys. To see Robby of the original Doors performing this is awesome ๐
The whole LA Woman Album. I would really love to hear, "Riders On The Storm." I was 12 years old when I first heard that song. It was during a power outage and I was in the dark listening to that song on my transistor radio. Eerie and Amazing at the same time. I am now in my 60's and still Love that song and The Doors. Thank you for your Music and Fine Guitar Playing... ๐ถ๐ค๐ต๐ธ๐ฅ๐น๐ช๐
like the pants!---have to play Light My Fire!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds great fellas!!… Jim and Ray would be proud…actually, they are proud.๐ถโจ
that rug really ties the room together
I've gone twice already. And I've enjoyed the shows tremendously. However, there are better singers out there . Robbie should get that guy from that doors, cover band. His son's voice, It's just too soft and high pitched for this music
One of my guitar heroes Robbie , may not be the whole ego mounted trip of some form of exotic creature on sexual display , for the masses to revere , doing, oh so fast and so loud guitar solos and all the macho kind of posturing, you know , but he’s a true artisan and venturer into the unknown, a pioneer , that put his peg on the land and stated clearly to the world, I own this new territory! Doors are just one of those iconic one off bands that help define a period of time in human history, about youth culture.
Hi Robby, I was with Tom W yesterday at St Charles and I gave him a message for you. Boston Mary
I can't see you're face in my mind! Your trademark slick guitar is soooo cool on that track, kinda makes me want to move different every time I hear it. You stand out from a period of truly great artists sir ๐โค๏ธ
Everybody wants to know, what happened to Jim Morrison’s Shelby Mustang from the 60s, it was a rare car and rumor was it was Wrecked and many are looking for it , in the rock world and car collector world
let me know if the drummer can't keep up . I can jump in. oh I can sing like Jim
Bring in David Brock for vocals and make all those great instrument riffs shine.
When the music’s over!
What a great room to jam.
Roadhouse Blues!!
When the music over mike74 !!!!
Let me Sing in your band ๐ You won’t regret it ๐
Spanish guitar
Spanish caravan!!
Indian summer please
I wonder… are all the SGs he’s seen playing in this videos the same ones from the Doors period? I know he mentioned the ‘54 Les Paul was the same one he used on Moonlight Drive.
Alabama song!
Good luck at the Greek, my friend! Miss you
Just some friends backstage - what do you think we were talking about right before this was snapped?
Starve a cold feed a fever…or…(crickets).๐คฃ๐ธ
Asking where they could get a pair of those pants that you’re rockin’.
The Butts Band?
About whether by the end of the concert the beer would warm up!
Which thumb to use when hitching a ride back home after the gig?
Who farted?
What kind of product Jim Morrison used on his hair? ๐
Your pants
About The Doors?
Who eat more chicken wasn’t a topic I guess… ๐ค๐
Tony Iomi and cold beer ๐บ
Robbie get to a world stage, don't ask!
Mr. X - AKA Frank Wagner , as we all know it’s Jim Morrison
I only recognize Robby.
The key for 'The Crystal Ship'.
"WHERE IS MY RHYTHM SECTION?!?!?!" LOL
How many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie- Pop?? ๐ค
Do you remember that time 'Dorothy slipped us that tab at the beach'? I know we never believe we could ever do things like that to each other. ๐คฃ
Again, where does Robby get those cool pants?
(them) I don't feel anything yet (Rob) You will
"Who is gonna "LightMyFire"!!!! Lol You Go RK!!!
Your ๐ pants.
Probably Robbies snazzy pants dominated the conversation , they would if I were there
Dude...you smell that?
Razzles are they a candy or are they a gum?
Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. “The first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock ‘n’ roll – I listened to the radio a lot – Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.
“I started surfing at fourteen. There was lots of classical music in my house. My father liked march music. There was a piano at home. I studied trumpet at ten, but nothing came of it. Then I started playing blues on the piano?no lessons though. When I was seventeen, I started playing guitar. I used my friend’s guitar. I didn’t get my own until I was eighteen. It was a Mexican flamenco guitar. I took flamenco lessons for a few months. I switched around from folk to flamenco to blues to rock ‘n’ roll.
“Records got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock ‘n’ roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn’t been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn’t have gone rock ‘n’ roll.
I didn’t plan on rock ‘n’ roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock ‘n’ roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock ‘n’ roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There’s no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz – which is dying – as far as making any money is concerned.
“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other’s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man’s ideas. Most groups today aren’t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.”
Most people know Robby Krieger as the consummate music artist in his role as former guitar player and songwriter of the legendary band The Doors.
What shouldnโt be surprising is that creativity has no boundaries and many times artistic expression will spill over into more then one medium for the artist.
Robby Krieger is no exception as demonstrated in his creation of a collection of spectacular, never-before-seen works of artโฆnow available to art lovers and Robby fans.
Now, through the charity services organization, ART FOR A CAUSE, limited edition, giclee prints of his beautiful paintings will, for the first time, be available to the fans of Robby Krieger.
โI hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.โ – Robby Krieger
