This is the coolest thing that has happened in such a long time. One of the all-time great rock guitarists noodling on his classic hits. How freaking great is that!?! Thanks Robby!
Robbie Krieger, the man who wrote "Light My Fire". If he did nothing else in his life, that classic alone should make him a musical legend, but so many great songs that came from him, and yet he remains one of the most soft spoken and humble rock guitarists I've ever seen. Thank you Robbie, your playing inspired and launched so many of us on our own musical journeys.
@@spookiesvideogames2697 While both Jim and Robbie wrote songs together, with Robbie more often supplying the music and Jim the lyrics, surprisingly, many of the songs Robbie wrote solo, sound on first reflection of the lyrics, like "Morrison-type-songs". But Robbie apparently had such a good ear, that he was quickly able to adapt to the "Morrison style" or "Doors Style" and subject matter. With The Soft Parade, the writing credits are clearly displayed for the first time, and would be for their remaining albums, so it's interesting to see how many "Jim Sounding Lyrics" are actually penned by Robbie: Robbie is now generally considered to be the original creator of "Light My Fire" as detailed in Danny Sugarman's "No One Here Gets Out Alive" book of the Doors. And while the self effacing Robbie was loathe to take sole credit for it, it was indeed he who came in with the basic chords and lyrics after the full Doors first meeting, the only one of the four who actually wrote anything over that fateful first meeting weekend. Robbie's original song was then modified. His rhythm (played originally more as a folk song) was given a faster, stronger beat and the song went from a leisurely to the now much more forceful beat we recognize it for. Uncredited was producer Paul Rothchild's important changes in the mid part and solo section, and John was the one who, after that initial blast of the snare drum, gave it what would be something of a Latin beat throughout, unusual at the time, but it worked. Ray was responsible for giving it that classical and now classic organ opening flourish after the snare hit which he credits somewhere to a classical song which I frankly forget the name of. It was Jim who contributed the lyrics "No time to wallow in the mire, try now we can only lose, and our love become a funeral pyre" - which Robbie is heard recalling in one of his interviews that he was initially hesitant about, saying , "Jim, why does everything you write have to be about doom and gloom?" - but with the benefit of the hindsight of time, he said he now realizes worked perfectly. Robbie did write many very Morrison sounding songs, here's a list of some songs people (like me!) just assume Jim wrote, and sound like definite "Morrison" songs because of the lyrics, but which Robbie actually wrote on his own: "Love Her Madly", "Peace Frog", "Ship of Fools", "Queen of the Highway". "Wishful Sinful", "Runnin' Blue" , and the hard driving "Roadhouse Blues" All of which have Jim sounding lyrics. Hope this helps to clarify things. - DJ
Robby, you are truly humble to ever so casually make a homemade guitar lesson with nothing more than your smartphone, as if you aren't one of the greatest original rock guitarists who ever walked the face of the earth with one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. I love and totally connect with your laid-back personality. I am forever grateful and inspired.
It's typical Robbie tbh. Loads of Doors songs were available on Ultimate Guitar, but only if you pay premium for the official tabs, so Robbie opened up another account on there & uploaded all the tabs again with free access.
We live in a WONDERFUL time. It seems so magical to me ... The Doors have meant, mean and will mean a lot to me. It is so special to be able to see Robby playing for everyone. Thanks a lot.
It’s Hank! I never expected to see you here! I’ve watched your entire catalog a hundred times over! You’re by far the most entertaining storm chaser I’ve ever seen on TV or the internet, and your amazing footage combined with the creepy yet pretty music is absolutely spellbinding! Please keep doing what you do!
Robby Krieger, tuning a guitar and playing the blues. And then writes a song that sounds nothing like the blues. One of a kind dude, one of a kind band.
It's so much fun to watch Robby and it's so nice he's doing all those lessons for us!! He definitely needs a actual camera, looks like he has so much fun showing us his things!!
I feel ya. I saw the Robbie and Ray play in a small venue in the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel front row against the stage. My date grabbed Rays foot! That's how close we were. It was surreal and it was packed inside and a night I won't ever forget. Im 47 and a life long Doors fan. I have no shame in admitting that I got teary during the show. I can only imagine what it must've been like with Jim singing. The energy was intense.
@@aland4440 i felt the same way when i saw him and his son play. I thought they recruited a damn good Jim impersonator, but later found out it was his son
Alan D sure it was amazing, how lucky you are!! I’m just 17 but spent all my life with the Doors; when it comes to appreciate good music the age definitely doesn’t matter.
Thank you Robby. This is so special in thsese " Strange days"You are the best. And The Doors is my favorite rock group of all time. I love you and your songs forever. I got all your albums and the film. Miss Ray and Jim. Stay safe💜💜💜
I was a teenager in late 60 s when I I first heard Doors music, light my fire, on radio. Went to record shop, listened to the lp, was knocked out by the music. Still love it today, have all their music , on vynil.
Does more than stand the test of time totally agree it’s super fresh not just Jim the whole damn band so different from the jam bands of the day they all had their place Doors music will live for ever till the end of time 😉
It's weird watching "someone" play the song on youtube in their house, just to a boombox version or whatever and kind of chatting with everyone...and then realize it's the guy who created the part....lol I got into the Doors around 1983 when I picked up a cassette (yup...I'm old) of "The Doors - 13"......that started me down a long path with them....I ended up with all of their albums and they were MY band throughout high school and college.......in fact, in high school, I so badly wanted to play like Ray Manzarek....so I begged my my parents for a keyboard (which would have been a Korg Poly 800 at the time), and Christmas morning, I saw the large box and excitedly opened it....and found an electric guitar.......so, I had to switch hero's and suddenly I was trying to learn every Doors song I could :-) Everyone always talks about Jim.....and, of course, I idolized Jim Morrison.....but...in truth, I always had more respect for Ray/Robby/John, because as I learned just how "unstable" performances could be with Jim......I realized it took a pretty tight crew to be able to hold things together while he was sometimes coming apart....lol.
I listen to the old live tracks on youtube , Germany was one, and the quality of solos during songs from each band member and the synchronicity is really outstanding 👌
Robbie Krieger is one of the most awesome and best guitarists of all time!! I will always love and respect The Doors and there legendary Music for life!!!!!!😎🤘🏿👍🏿
Cory Claxton no he isn’t underrated at all. He was the guitarist for one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. Why am I even responding to such an absurd comment
@@jeff7764 For guys such as you and I The Doors are an essential rock band, but many actually dismiss them as having no musical integrity. A fact that not only baffles me but pisses me off. They're clearly Morrison haters.
Robbie, You and the rest of the band were pure magic. You all deserve the timeless appreciation for what you created. Thank You so much, it can't be stated enough. A lesson on LA Woman would be amazing.
I read everything out there, anything I could about the doors or Jim Morrison. Thank you mister Robby Krieger for All of the good music,an bringing the magic alive.My father just crossed over, he introduced me to the doors as a small child....best gift he gave to me....keep on rockin!Peace
It's unbelievable that Robbie and so many other icons are sharing their cool tracts on TH-cam. Gosh, wish I'd had all these lessons back in the 70's. Highschool would've been so much cooler... Robbie, thanks for sharing. Take care and be well!
Robby is personally teaching me. I’m definitely living in a simulation. Life can’t be this good for real. He is a guitar God to me and can you imagine what he lived through and the stories he can tell. Rock on Robby
The Doors are my absolute favorite. Every Doors song is great. Moonlight Drive is one of my top joints from them. Doors fan since teenager. That was many moons ago. Peace to all my DOORS brothers and sisters!
OMGuitar this is soooo cool. A personal tuitorial with the maestro Robby Krieger. Always love Robbys slide playing.. I understand that when Robby first played slide style at an early rehearsal with the Doors Jim was realy blown away by the sound and atmosphere and suggested that Robby use slide on everything. That 54 Les Paul is in fantastic condition, I felt it as it hit the floor, obviously some of Morrisons spirit in that guitar.
I was born in 1980...and you where my 1st band I put into the 8 track player....I have always wanted to tell you guys I love your music...and I would do what ever I could to meet him if he was a live ..and if I ever get a chance to meet you and ray ...Rob I would cry....you guys are still a big part of this planet please stay healthy....just knowing you have a chance to read this is unbelievable...I hope to party with Jim one day in heaven...I know he got his wings smooth as Ravens claws...🙏🏼 Long live the DOORS...
My all time favorite American Band, The DOORS...! I have all the albums vinyl and cd's and the outake album, everything and all the books....Light My Fire by Robbie in my top 5 all time favorite songs....! 1967 I graduated HS..... (I'm a south side of Chicago guy like Ray, who was from Bridgeport)... What a song Light My Fire is and I still listen to it all the time..... I remember that summer well... Thanks, Robbie! GG...IN
Does anyone else get an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia when watching this ? Thank u Robbie again and again . Just love these lessons , listening to you and you sharing your killer guitar collection .. Cannot get any closer to rock and roll history than this
This video reminds me of early TH-cam (2006-2011), the strange days akin to having premonitions of flashbacks! 1967 always brings a Smile. #TheDoors #RobbyKrieger #OpenTuning #EarlyTH-cam #LetsSwimtotheMoon #TidalEnergy #TheDoorsStrangeDays #1967
I used to fall asleep to the Doors music. So many favorites...This one is outstanding. I am a guitar player and Robby is one of my favorites. I had a roommate when I was in my early 20's. Unreal drummer and his bands were incredible...played with many pro's and won't bore you with the details. Anyhow, drunken I used to love pounding on his drum kit, (everyone would scream at me to knock it off). Their guitar player started with this riff at a house party...I jumped off the drums and started singing in my best Morrison voice. The next 2 hours it was me and the guitar player doing Doors tunes. I thought it was just a goof, but the musicians there thought the two of us were incredible, (I am not a singer BTW). I love the Doors and I love Robbie...
there is something eerie and melancholy about all of these Doors videos post-Jim - you can just sense how much each and every one of them misses him - and now Ray - and playing in the band and now that two of them have passed you sense John and Robbie know their time is nearing as well - its like time stood still for all of them since Jim died - you watch Robbie here and you just sense he is drifting back to those days and thoughts must be flashing through his head of how it was then - will be one hell of a gig once they all reunite - you can sense their loss so much its like part of them died and they are mourning like a dog that never leaves the grave of his owner - I think The Doors were one of the closest bands of all time ...
Love you Robby! I wish I were as fresh you are now when I get your age. You are part of a one an only generation that we the youngsters are proud to still enjoy. Peace from Spain!
I sold off a lotta "contemporary" records when I dove deeply into real old blues music (in part inspired by this vivid slide-guitar piece), but I never sold my Doors records ... I have always imagined some brilliant and ebullient animation set to the delightful solo on this record I ain't superstitious or religious, but may many many blessings come your way Mr. Robbie Krieger !!!
What a special treat-like a private lesson from a Master. Been playing the Doors for decades and yet it still sounds fresh and current. Make the hair on your arms stand up when you hear your favorite song of theirs. Thanks and Cheers!
Mis respetos para ud sr krieger una influencia para muchos guitarristas saludos desde mexico se le quiere mucho alla y a los doors tambien. Mis respetos ❤
I had the incredibly chance privilege of getting guitar lessons the 80’s from Robby’s bass player at the time, Rick Moors, at JB Wilson’s guitar shop in Woodland Hills, CA. I would ask Rick, how to play LA Woman, or Light My Fire, or whatever, and he ask Robbie. The next week, Rick would show me what Robby shared with him. I was so blessed by Rick and Robby. It is almost unfathomable to me that I was connected to these two dear and patient souls, taking time to share Robby’s and The Doors’ music with a greasy, curious 17 year-old me. Even to this day, blows my mind. Thank you Robby and Rick, for adding that magic to my life!
That LP 1954 black beauty OMG - Robbir Krieger is such an appreciated legend Guitar player who was in the one of the greatest bands of all the time "The Doors"
This is one of the best things that happened during this quarantine, this series is so cozy and comfortable to watch. I remember dressing myself as Robby for a presentation about blues and rock music during middle school and I had to play the harmonica because I had just started to learn the guitar, wish I could've rocked Moonlight Drive at the time haha. Thank you for everything Rob, really. Love you and The Doors.
Moonlight Drive is essenrially my favorite Doors tune. Thinking more on meeting Robby and his son in Seattle 20 years ago, and his genuine kindness, I later swung by the Seattle waterfront after work several years later and watched the group live when Ray and Robby toured with The Cult singer. It was funny because I, along with many others, was just on the waterfront walkway and it was like you were in the crowd, but didn't have to buy a ticket to the show. A lot of folks who bought tickets were looking back on all of us enjoying the free waterfront show clearly annoyed, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It didn't matter that it wasn't Jim Morrison, along with John Densmore, maybe even L.A. Woman era Jerry Scheff on bass, up there, although that would have obviously been top choice in an alternate universe, it just mattered that Ray and Robby were up there with a full band playing live.
I salute to the man himself Robby Krieger and moonlight drive is one of those songs that will stick in your head for a while but it's just the coolest song
This is so important. I love how he doesn't even care yet this is literally as historic of a lesson as it comes. There's nothing like learning from the master himself .
Often I feel sad for a moment in time that passed before my birth yet is continually revisited, rehashed and sentimentalised over. The Doors died in 1971. RIP.
Dear Mr Robbie Krieger.... You are the man and thanks for posting that during this pandemic. I'm 57 and would have loved to have seen see the Doors live (Absolutely Live). Thank you soooo much! It helps .
we actually live in a time when we can watch TUTORIALS BY ROBBY KRIEGER.... let that sink in
For free no less
Rafael Lisboa what a time to be alive!
Exactly! We may not live in a time where we were able to witness The Doors live but at least we get this
Yes!!
Reading that just gave me goosebumps
ROBBY NEVER STOPPED DOING IT!!
as morrison once said: DO IT ROBBY! DO IT!!
Never thought I'd get guitar lessons from the goddamn Robby Krieger himself...bless the internet!
Right on!
Now bring on Jimmy Page!!!
烟雨 innit
And bless Robby for being in our lives.
Brian! Jimmy is fine but I think you are on the wrong planet here. Check your astral chart and ....
Were the coronavirus victims blessed before they got sick and died? UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH religious hocus pocus nonsense. :'D
This is the coolest thing that has happened in such a long time. One of the all-time great rock guitarists noodling on his classic hits. How freaking great is that!?! Thanks Robby!
It is a real treat.
I love how Robby still gets a kick out of playing his own songs.

Dont tell me you wouldn't
@CozmoChimp68 I'm talking about his guitar work on the song.
'Oh sh*t..there goes the '54' - he's refreshingly down-to-earth. Love you, Robbie
HAHA yeah on essentially a priceless guitar.
400k guitar, no less.

@jfsfrnd care to share?
I thought Jim and Robbie both wrote lyrics for "Light My Fire", no?
@@spookiesvideogames2697 While both Jim and Robbie wrote songs together, with Robbie more often supplying the music and Jim the lyrics, surprisingly, many of the songs Robbie wrote solo, sound on first reflection of the lyrics, like "Morrison-type-songs".

I almost dropped a tear watching him enjoy it so badly, jamming with his old friends
So wholesome
ok let's see what you got erm, FA-FUGGIN-CUNDO...
What a blessing these lessons are
This quarantine thing can carry on if it means we get more of this !!
Blood_Hound oh yes they are, because they are from one of the best guitarists of all time
i would have never imagined getting a guitar lesson from robbie being possible
@John Henderson Straight from the horses mouth !
This lesson be a blesson

I love and totally connect with your laid-back personality. I am forever grateful and inspired.
1000% true
I bought my son an SG 23 years ago as his first guitar because I used Robbie as a role model.
"Thank You" is not enough Robby. But, thank you.
4:55 Fascinating, when he starts playing, it sounds almost exactly like the recording, Much better than the other videos on TH-cam. :-D
I don't deserve this living LEGEND teaching me his work of art for free
You could send a donation to your favorite charity in his name. People can always use a helping hand. Best Wishes
He has enough money, and you won't make any off of it, so why not teach you?
I'm worthy!
I have no problem snagging any tricks guitar legends want to throw my way.
Bring it on!
"We're not worthy!" - Wayne & Garth
It's typical Robbie tbh. Loads of Doors songs were available on Ultimate Guitar, but only if you pay premium for the official tabs, so Robbie opened up another account on there & uploaded all the tabs again with free access.
“Indian Summer” still an all time favorite as well. Transcendent.
Man, is a very beautiful song, I love it
Indian summer is one of the greatest songs ever recorded
Juke Joint Jack You have Excellent taste Sir.
That’s my fav Doors piece. Such an evocative tune.
Hard to believe he'd only been playing a few years when he came up with all this stuff. Much respect.
And was playing mostly flamenco. Musical genius.
A few months on electric...its a great story..
its basic delta blues and a slide guitar open G tuning. he learned it from others.
The first song he ever wrote was Light My Fire...you can't really beat that. Crazy.
Think about the others he had to work with. A pretty good mix of talent.
"Do it, Robby, do it" and he never stopped doing it!! He's a LEGEND!!
We live in a WONDERFUL time. It seems so magical to me ... The Doors have meant, mean and will mean a lot to me. It is so special to be able to see Robby playing for everyone.

Never thought blues could sound so haunting and mysterious
Thank you Robby!!! Be careful with that Black Beauty 😳 Love your slide playing.
I once sang "Moonlight Drive" on the roof of the apt. building where Morrison purportedly wrote the song.
That's awesome
I was a teenager in late 60 s when I I first heard Doors music, light my fire, on radio. Went to record shop, listened to the lp, was knocked out by the music. Still love it today, have all their music , on vynil.
Wow! If there's something I never thought would be possible was that one day, I'd be able to look up Robby Krieger's nose after a guitar lesson!
The Doors are still ahead of the time, circa 2020
Yes they are.
Which is why so many of the current group of teens (aka GenZ) LOVE the music of The Doors!!!
Does more than stand the test of time totally agree it’s super fresh not just Jim the whole damn band so different from the jam bands of the day they all had their place Doors music will live for ever till the end of time 😉
What a tired statement. What does it mean to be “ahead of their time”????

Currently this is my favourite guitar solo. Crunchy, swooping, incisive, just a fantastic piece of music.

Does anyone else get an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia when watching this ? Thank u Robbie again and again . Just love these lessons , listening to you and you sharing your killer guitar collection .. Cannot get any closer to rock and roll history than this
This video reminds me of early TH-cam (2006-2011), the strange days akin to having premonitions of flashbacks! 1967 always brings a Smile. #TheDoors #RobbyKrieger #OpenTuning #EarlyTH-cam #LetsSwimtotheMoon #TidalEnergy #TheDoorsStrangeDays #1967
The Song That Started It All. 🌕🎸
There is simply nobody like Robby Krieger.
He somehow makes the world more fun.
After 55 years "we are go inside the Doors" . Thank you!!
I used to fall asleep to the Doors music. So many favorites...This one is outstanding. I am a guitar player and Robby is one of my favorites. I had a roommate when I was in my early 20's. Unreal drummer and his bands were incredible...played with many pro's and won't bore you with the details. Anyhow, drunken I used to love pounding on his drum kit, (everyone would scream at me to knock it off). Their guitar player started with this riff at a house party...I jumped off the drums and started singing in my best Morrison voice. The next 2 hours it was me and the guitar player doing Doors tunes. I thought it was just a goof, but the musicians there thought the two of us were incredible, (I am not a singer BTW). I love the Doors and I love Robbie...
Chilled and down-to-earth. Class act.
there is something eerie and melancholy about all of these Doors videos post-Jim - you can just sense how much each and every one of them misses him - and now Ray - and playing in the band and now that two of them have passed you sense John and Robbie know their time is nearing as well - its like time stood still for all of them since Jim died - you watch Robbie here and you just sense he is drifting back to those days and thoughts must be flashing through his head of how it was then - will be one hell of a gig once they all reunite - you can sense their loss so much its like part of them died and they are mourning like a dog that never leaves the grave of his owner - I think The Doors were one of the closest bands of all time ...
Glad to see you doing well Robby!! Love moonlight drive!!🤘im a Doors fanatic!! I got the Doors running through my blood😊
Love you Robby! I wish I were as fresh you are now when I get your age. You are part of a one an only generation that we the youngsters are proud to still enjoy. Peace from Spain!
Can Robby teach us wild child next?
Yes please!
I think last week he said he’d be teaching “Spanish Caravan” soon.
Yiiiisssss
Love that song. I recorded wild child from album to CD and play it my car and it sounds so full, better than vinyl, in my car when I ride!
Please!!!!!!
I sold off a lotta "contemporary" records when I dove deeply into real old blues music (in part inspired by this vivid slide-guitar piece), but I never sold my Doors records
... I have always imagined some brilliant and ebullient animation set to the delightful solo on this record
I ain't superstitious or religious, but may many many blessings come your way Mr. Robbie Krieger !!!
What a special treat-like a private lesson from a Master. Been playing the Doors for decades and yet it still sounds fresh and current. Make the hair on your arms stand up when you hear your favorite song of theirs. Thanks and Cheers!
A special magic associated with getting it straight from the songwriter. Old school confidence but tempered with humility---a lost virtue.
Mis respetos para ud sr krieger una influencia para muchos guitarristas saludos desde mexico se le quiere mucho alla y a los doors tambien. Mis respetos ❤
Roberto García ¡ claro ! ¡ órale !
I had the incredibly chance privilege of getting guitar lessons the 80’s from Robby’s bass player at the time, Rick Moors, at JB Wilson’s guitar shop in Woodland Hills, CA.
I would ask Rick, how to play LA Woman, or Light My Fire, or whatever, and he ask Robbie. The next week, Rick would show me what Robby shared with him.
I was so blessed by Rick and Robby. It is almost unfathomable to me that I was connected to these two dear and patient souls, taking time to share Robby’s and The Doors’ music with a greasy, curious 17 year-old me. Even to this day, blows my mind.
Thank you Robby and Rick, for adding that magic to my life!
That LP 1954 black beauty OMG - Robbir Krieger is such an appreciated legend Guitar player who was in the one of the greatest bands of all the time "The Doors"
The best memories for this man I'm sure... God bless you Robby Krieger...
This is one of the best things that happened during this quarantine, this series is so cozy and comfortable to watch. I remember dressing myself as Robby for a presentation about blues and rock music during middle school and I had to play the harmonica because I had just started to learn the guitar, wish I could've rocked Moonlight Drive at the time haha. Thank you for everything Rob, really. Love you and The Doors.
Buying my first guitar to learn this! Thank you Robby Krieger, love you!
I was jaming moonlight drive while cooking dinner earlier and this is came in ! Thank you Mr. Robby ! You're truely legend !
Because I couldn't do that at that time, I will took glass of beer now to celebrate because with this kind of playing you get the job in the Doors!!!
I was a 9 year old child when Jim Morrison passed away , I've always liked the doors music !
Hermoso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you Robby! From another Sagittarius proudly born on Dec 8th 😘
Robby you are a legend man. I love you and the rest of the doors ofc ! Band of my life .Stay cool
Thank you, Robby Krieger, God Bless ya. Stay Healthy!!
Thanks so much Robbie, love moonlight drive !!!
We miss all of you and we know that you miss us, but we will meet again.
Thank you for giving so many people a life that was different.
Moonlight Drive is essenrially my favorite Doors tune. Thinking more on meeting Robby and his son in Seattle 20 years ago, and his genuine kindness, I later swung by the Seattle waterfront after work several years later and watched the group live when Ray and Robby toured with The Cult singer. It was funny because I, along with many others, was just on the waterfront walkway and it was like you were in the crowd, but didn't have to buy a ticket to the show. A lot of folks who bought tickets were looking back on all of us enjoying the free waterfront show clearly annoyed, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It didn't matter that it wasn't Jim Morrison, along with John Densmore, maybe even L.A. Woman era Jerry Scheff on bass, up there, although that would have obviously been top choice in an alternate universe, it just mattered that Ray and Robby were up there with a full band playing live.
I salute to the man himself Robby Krieger and moonlight drive is one of those songs that will stick in your head for a while but it's just the coolest song
This is so important. I love how he doesn't even care yet this is literally as historic of a lesson as it comes. There's nothing like learning from the master himself .
Often I feel sad for a moment in time that passed before my birth yet is continually revisited, rehashed and sentimentalised over. The Doors died in 1971. RIP.
Thank you man!
for everything!
What can I say? Robby with his guitars, awesome 👍🏻🎸 wish I could have a one to one with him for an hour or 10. Love ya Robby 👍🏻🎸
At the beginning Robbie was playing “Little red rooster”
Yah man, when I first go to open g it's almost instinctual to play that, almost like smoke in the water when u first pick up a guitar
Dear Robby, I am grown up with your songs in Germany. I love to see you playing. Thank you so much!
Dear Mr Robbie Krieger....
You are the man and thanks for posting that during this pandemic.
I'm 57 and would have loved to have seen see the Doors live (Absolutely Live).
Thank you soooo much!
It helps .
This is my favorite song of all time.
ROBBY , que alegria verte man , viejos son los trapos hermano ; god bless you !
saturn return A mi también hermano
Look at the joy in his face even today!
Amazing gold ...
Thank you sir for still being alive and strong .
