September, 1965: Robby Krieger joins The Doors.

"I was in another group and John was telling me about this group he was in called The Doors. They had this wild and crazy guy, Jim Morrison, who was going to be the lead singer even though he couldn't sing at the time. But I knew he had potential because he had just started singing about a month before and he was already pretty good. A couple weeks after John joined they needed another guitar player. John brought Jim over to my house and we hit it off good. So we rehearsed and that was it." -Robby Krieger

'Real poetry doesn't say anything, it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you... And that's why poetry appeals to me so much – because it's so eternal.' –Jim Morrison

What happens when a Los Angeles icon like @Beck hits NYC for an afterparty? You get Jon Hamm singing The Doors’ “L.A. Woman” at the top of his lungs.
The actor, whose role in ‘The Morning Show’ debuts on Sept. 13, was accompanied by Jason Faulkner on guitar and even Beck’s daughter, Tuesday, got up to play the bass on a song during the impromptu jam session at @themulberrybar. Beck and Phoenix, who were also in attendance, performed at Madison Square Garden @thegarden earlier on Saturday night (Sept. 9). Their Summer Odyssey 2023 tour ends tonight at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland.

Join The Doors and LIVE AT THE MATRIX 1967: THE OR

Join The Doors and LIVE AT THE MATRIX 1967: THE ORIGINAL MASTERS liner note writer Joel Selvin at White Rabbit in San Francisco, the former site of the famed Matrix, for an evening celebrating the band’s storied performances from the 7th-11th of March, 1967. The live-streamed event kicks off tonight at 6:30pm PT on The Doors’ official YouTube page.

The original recordings, sourced from the first-generation 7” reels, were remastered by longtime Doors engineer Bruce Botnick, but retain the raw energy of those early years. The release includes all 37 songs from the original masters, including “People Are Strange,” “Break On Through (To The Other Side),” “Light My Fire” and more. “They were young, Fresh and unhibited, spreading their wings to fly,” writes Selvin. “The tapes are raw, savage, rough around the edges. This is pure Doors: unselfconscious and unspoiled.”

LIVE AT THE MATRIX 1967: THE ORIGINAL MASTERS is now available in a 3-CD box set or an expansive 5-LP set which includes a rare recording of “Bag Groove” pressed on an exclusive 7” single.

Order your copy now: link in bio.

“The audience was one of the best we’ve ever had. Everyone seemed to take it so easy. It’s probably the most informed, receptive audience I’ve ever seen in my life”
-Jim Morrison, after performing at The Roundhouse in London

"Seeing The Doors at the Crosstown Bus in Boston was a defining moment of my life. I later became a staff pop critic at the Boston Globe for 28 years and today teach the online Rock History course at Berklee College of Music. But one event that helped drive me toward a rock career was seeing Jim Morrison smash boundaries in concert. It was a pure, over-the-top rock 'n' roll evening.”
-Steve Morse, Doors fan in attendance
