I saw the DOORS on a flatbead truck in Camarillo, Calif BEFORE this song came out ! They did this song at a "Battle of the Bands". And, by the way, they WON !! It was quite the 'unknown' band to see. You Knew you were seeing Talent. In two weeks this song would be Number One Everywhere !!
I had the unforgettable opportunity or opportunities to have jammed with him a handful of times. I went to high school with his son Waylon Krieger, and came over his house to jam. Lo and behold, Robbie would walk into the room with his Gibson SG and jam along with us. He was the first guitarist I ever saw live that blew me away, very underrated. Another crazy coincidence, Waylon‘s good friend jamming on bass with us was Barry Oakley’s son. His name was Barry Oakley and he looked exactly like his dad. jammin with those guys actually was the first time I ever jammed the blues and they taught me how to truly improvise. Rob would bust out rips from classic doors songs too. So folks, don’t disrespect Robbie Kreeger.
Hey, small world of coincidences. We, too, played this song on a flatbed during a parade in Fairport New York en route to their fairmen's carnival. We were an Up With People band and were only licensed to do Up With People songs, but we got bored of just doing our only 3 or 4 REALLY BIG hits during the long boring parade route and somehow, a chord from one of our songs was the same chord played in LMF, so without any advance planning, somehow our entire song transposed into Light My Fire - it transferred so smoothly, just as though it was planned. On a sidenote, I feel so blessed to have managed to obtain one of the very few copies of this as a 45 rpm with the full 6:50 version - - - - on a 45 rpm !!!!
The Doors formed in 1965 in LA’s beachfront community of Venice, where last year’s Day of the Doors celebration was held. Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger are the band’s only surviving members. 6:19 [Billboard]
Robbie's playing was always over the top and outside the circle. He doesn't disappoint here either ! Wow ! .....and still playing through an old Acoustic solid state amp.
Elanor Rigby and These are a Few of My Favorite Things thrown into the Light My Fire solo! I met Robbie after a show in Chicago and told him how cool that he threw those other songs into the solo and he said “Yeah, sometimes I wonder if people notice “. Oh, we noticed!!!!
It is ok doing that things sometimes but I prefer always follow the feelings and development of the solos from the original original song. It is much better searching other arrangements or harmonies since the song itself respecting Morrison’s will. I don’t like references to other songs in the song because it diminishes the song itself.
@@hwearrow Jim Morrison sang the song that Robbie Krieger wrote. Morrison checked out 53 years ago, Robbie continued making music until his own passing. He was also a jazz guitarist first, and in improvisation, even planned excursions, he chose to play those tributes to Coltrane and the Beatles for his own enjoyment. The lack of respect for the song is in someone believing the writer/performer has to stick to playing it exactly the same for 57 years. Do you have any idea how boring it is to play the same song every night in the exact same way?
that bass is disgusting. the whole trend of “relic” guitars and basses is getting out of hand. people damaging the finish (usually paying foolish amounts to do it) to make them look aged. no way in hell did that bass experience what it would take to end up like that.
Great to see Robby out settin' the night on fire with his awesome licks! Loved how he snuck in a few familiar 60s melodies in his solo. Great job, Robby, it takes me back to '68 when I was 9!
truth is...a bit like queen. yes yes great guitarist but at the end of the day what's missing is the same. the lead singer. nice effort. it would be like having the experience without hendrix. stones without jagger. who without townshend.
The band needed more material for their first album. Morrison urged his bandmates to write some songs. Robbie went home to his parents house and wrote "Light My Fire". Manzarek then fleshed it out by adding the intro organ part, and their producer said to also do it at the end. Morrison contributed to the lyrics, and it was Densmore's idea to start the song with the single hit on the snare drum. Thus, a collaberative effort, but it was essentially Krieger's song.
As always, a beautiful job. Robbie is one of the last guys left on guitar who know how to interact with a keyboardist. Once again, his performances have a definite destination for the listener. Blessed hands, for sure.✌
Fcuking yeeah!!! I was listening to this when it was fresh. I was still at school here in Australia then. The Doors are still on high rotation around our house. Can not describe how much I've enjoyed this clip. Live long, Robbie. Thank you.
That is the art of making great music keeping it alive i was born in 1957 grew up in downtown Huntington beach at the time the golden bear was really the place on the coast to her top notch bands in the sixtys and early seventys i used to ride my schwinn downtown hippies and head shops everywhere the smell of incense in the air the doors are still one of the greatest bands ever considering there short tenure !
Old Waylon hasn’t gotten better with age. What sort of entertainer leaves 2 minutes into a number stays off stage doing whatever for 5 minutes comes back out after hitting his vape and hangs around for the applause? Nepotism at it finest. If you see him again tell him I said hi and to see a doctor about that liver.

Whouaaaaaa !!! Clairement stupéfiant. Hi Robbie... i am re-birth in a french guy now. i live out there really unknown. My poetry is very bad considered this strange period of time. But still have my voice. Strange thing these rebirth. Hope you enjoy performing music a long long time toward the sky of unlimitless possibility. Fly fly..little bird... and never accept limit.
The Doors !!!!! Maybe every day listen songs of this great band , today : land hoo or summertime.I have the oportunity to seen the Doors of the 21Century on 2003 on New jersey.Saludos desde Uruguay a Doors fan.
Chruszczow umarł, Kennedy umarł, Mao umarł, Chomeini umarł, Jan Paweł II umarł, Elżbieta II umarła, a Robbie żyje, gra i śpiewa! niech nam żyje Robbie, piję za zdrowie Robbiego!
Free speech: wow robbie looks like senior politician/businesssan and the backup singer is cautiously showing some Jim Morrison “wild side”that the cautious audience expects
Very underrated, the doors was one of the greats which didn't get the accolades they deserved 👏 🙌 👌 will.never see another band even close to.the doors ,a poet mixed with musicians wow what a combo,by the way love the cover
i mean comeon krieger is good but that organ player is not anygood and the lead singer? give me a break he is not jimhe cant sing. the other guy cant sing either, that organ player is horrible. he is tryingto make it different. and he sucks at it. id pay to hear just robbie anytime. i was and still am a big doors fan. but i do not hate to say it.. even that singer guitar player needs to find a different line of work, like maybe a waiter at a dive restaurant,. i saw them live at filmore west in san francisco i was a kid but they were great. i used to play along with light my fire on my moms church organ lol upset her, lol i was a kid im 70 now gotta go cant stand to hear these guys
Intacto el guitarrista… esencia de la banda. Recién adquiri su libro, muy bueno ya que cuenta anécdotas de primera mano acerca de uno de los mejores grupo los Doors.
78 years old ! What a legend !
He is terrific
55 years old! 😊
He looks 105. But plays good.
78? looks more like 100, but anyway glad to see he still on stage.

I live in Camarillo thats so cool
It's crazy, as soon as he starts playing light my fire you immediately know that's him. Super underappreciated for how influential he was
he's not underrated at all, stop with that nonsense
Doors. One of the first albums I ever bought back in 1968.
Robbie Krieger Still great on the guitar.
I still have the vinyl copy I bought in 1967.
I think it's awesome Robbie is still rocking 🎵🎶🎸 you go Brother 👍
Krieger's masterpiece. The Doors might not have made it big without it.
The Doors formed in 1965 in LA’s beachfront community of Venice, where last year’s Day of the Doors celebration was held. Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger are the band’s only surviving members. 6:19 [Billboard]
It would be more interesting if all the band members were here! 9:16
Do it Robby, Do it!!!
Go Robbie, you still sound Awesome , My Best, Cousin Figel
As baby boomers we can appreciate The Doors and Robbie's licks on all their classic songs as some of the best there was from back in the day..
Robbie's playing was always over the top and outside the circle. He doesn't disappoint here either ! Wow ! .....and still playing through an old Acoustic solid state amp.
I think he's playing out of those Fender DeVille's.
Wonderful
I love how Robbie just comes on stage in his pajamas!
he hadn't finished his crossword puzzle.....
I thought the same thing 🙂
I thought it was a hospital gown. Like he snuck out.
Neat how he played favorite things!!
Yes, and "My Favorite Things" was preceded by "Elenore Rigby"!
The joy of his improvisations!!
Oh SO GOOD all these years later!! A bunch of talented guys there Robbie!
He’s so relaxed just imagine when they played live with Jim they had to be ready for anything.
yeah, like being punched in the face and appearing on the Smother's Brother's Show with a black eye.....
A true icon. What an inspiration.
Thank you Robbie!!!
Robbie Krieger as Legends
Love Robbie and the Doors
Thank you for filming. I wasn’t able to go to the show
Keyboards rocks
Yes, and he's playing an authentic Hammond B-3 tone wheel organ, not some cheesy digital TV tray gizmo that weighs three pounds!
Sweet. Nice, Robbie!
Who is singing? Doing a great job as ALL of them are!!!
My buddy Vinny was at the show and he loved it. Wish I was there 😅
That John Garcia with the mic?
Looks like it was a great show with Robbie, who's obviously still got it. It's probably nice in CT right about now.
A total Inspiration! WOW MAN!
I know them guys up there performing with Robbie is having a BLAST 🎵🎶🥁🎹🎸👍
Thanks for posting this

Bass player is groovin
What a find. Robbie, 78 now. The great guitarists are starting to disappear. Let's love 'em while we can!
Robbie Kriegers son Waylon doesn’t look like his dad one bit.
Yo Ed Roth is da man!
Itˋs so cool to see and hear Robbie and his magic Guitar.... So nuch Memories. Great Musicians all around him.
I can smell the Desert Wind......
are we really this old ?!?!
Yup
I played this song when it first came out. 😉 (I just turned 73}
4:55 esse solo de 🎸 guitar de Robby IS wonderful.💯💯💯🔊🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸✌️
"Snowdrops that stay on my nose and eyelashes..." 🎶

The Living Legend.
Great to see Robby out settin' the night on fire with his awesome licks! Loved how he snuck in a few familiar 60s melodies in his solo. Great job, Robby, it takes me back to '68 when I was 9!
Yup I was 10 in 68 they don't make em like that anymore. God bless them and Robbie.
I am Robby Krieger's friend...
COOL, what other guitarist cood jump out on stage in his pajamas and do this kinda lead solo?
I love You you Robby Krieger and son..
truth is...a bit like queen. yes yes great guitarist but at the end of the day what's missing is the same. the lead singer. nice effort. it would be like having the experience without hendrix. stones without jagger. who without townshend.
Truth…
yeah but ya ought to appreciate that as an artist he still wants to perform at his age and still has the fire and ability within him
I don't know, I don't blame them for giving Robbie credit he certainly deserves it and then some, but I believe Ray Manzarik wrote light my fire

Horrible keyboard solo. Just very bad
LMF is credited as a DOORS composition.
@@gregoryschleitwiler9601
He loses track of the timing there somewhere..
And too long.
As always, a beautiful job. Robbie is one of the last guys left on guitar who know how to interact with a keyboardist. Once again, his performances have a definite destination for the listener. Blessed hands, for sure.✌
ROBBIE KRIEGER, STILL SPREADING THE LOVE 💕!!! M.O'B
Thanks for the clear blue pure music reality infusion.
Fcuking yeeah!!! I was listening to this when it was fresh. I was still at school here in Australia then. The Doors are still on high rotation around our house. Can not describe how much I've enjoyed this clip. Live long, Robbie. Thank you.

I remember when they had a good singer.
Call the band
The Door.
Listen to me Bobby..I smoked a joint with Waylon...just saying,...2000...September. I wa 29
Jimmy's dance ing in heaven
Who was the bloated guy with the Fender shirt pretending to sing lol
Waylon Krieger, Robbie's son.
@@bobcox98 He is kind of obnoxious up there you can tell he doesn’t belong
@@DJBOOTS378 that’s what I thought , who is this guy haha he doesn’t add anything except look at me up here
Old Waylon hasn’t gotten better with age. What sort of entertainer leaves 2 minutes into a number stays off stage doing whatever for 5 minutes comes back out after hitting his vape and hangs around for the applause? Nepotism at it finest. If you see him again tell him I said hi and to see a doctor about that liver.
I also..Spoke with Robby Krieger...I ask him about Jim Morrison..
I smoked a joint with Robbie's son Waylen after the Concert......
One word ( WOW )
My friend Waylon....I smoked a joint with him circa 2001
He kept it going cool!

Very underrated, the doors was one of the greats which didn't get the accolades they deserved 👏 🙌 👌 will.never see another band even close to.the doors ,a poet mixed with musicians wow what a combo,by the way love the cover
They are appreciated.
….LEGENDARY…. This was made using the ❤ and other substances 😅
I was lucky enough to get his autograph on some old "Doors"
stuff, TWICE.
Jesus. What is wrong with people? Do they hate themselves so much that they have to spread it around with youtube comments?
Pretty damn sad.
Yes!!!! Go Robbie...nice drift into Eleanor Rigby...love it.😀
Reminiscent of the Door's appearance on the Ed Sullivan show !
i mean comeon krieger is good but that organ player is not anygood and the lead singer? give me a break he is not jimhe cant sing. the other guy cant sing either, that organ player is horrible. he is tryingto make it different. and he sucks at it. id pay to hear just robbie anytime. i was and still am a big doors fan. but i do not hate to say it.. even that singer guitar player needs to find a different line of work, like maybe a waiter at a dive restaurant,. i saw them live at filmore west in san francisco i was a kid but they were great. i used to play along with light my fire on my moms church organ lol upset her, lol i was a kid im 70 now gotta go cant stand to hear these guys
Buy that KEYBOARD player a beer, A KEYSTONE perhaps🍺🍺
This video is incredible
Yeah I got to meet Robbie a few times in the 90s... Good brother and a good person..
Guy on the keyboard killed the song …. Ffs, cant you just play the notes?
Lol being there live and you have to look over phones to see Robby live..what waste of an experience.
Pretty good pretty good pretty neat pretty neat those are a few of my favorite things
Intacto el guitarrista… esencia de la banda. Recién adquiri su libro, muy bueno ya que cuenta anécdotas de primera mano acerca de uno de los mejores grupo los Doors.
A living legend, i have to seen live before he is gone, The Doors my favorite band ever!!
Beautiful interpolations, nods to the Doors. Great band.
🔥🔥🔥🦎👑 saw this group a few years ago! I recorded the whole thing
If Jim Morrison was still alive he'd be dead by now.
My young buddy Waylon..I was 29
Great to hear Robbie stretch out. Great sound with the Gibson.
Видимо хреново пенсионерам , что в 80 лет приходиться выходитьна сцену зарабатывать.😮😮😮
6:08 Eleanor Rigby
6:59 My Favorite Things
The drummer has no feel.
Any drummer can play the doors !
@@richarddouglas1712 LOL….ok
the guy with the sunglasses can easily be let go from the band
Original band memeber still goin.....Wow...)
Ein. schwacher Song, Jim fehlt mir seiner außergewöhnlichen, charismatischen Stimme !
The time to hesitate ashough.....😁
Who is the keyboard player?!
Jim Morison loves you Robby
