- (5 Jan 2017) THE DOORS CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
Iconic 1960s rock band The Doors came together for a special honor and performance 50 years after releasing their self-titled debut album.
Surviving members John Densmore and Robby Krieger joined hundreds of fans Wednesday (4 JAN. 2017) to celebrate January 4 being proclaimed "Day Of The Doors" in Los Angeles.
The event took place in Los Angeles' Venice neighborhood, where the band was formed.
"Well, it's 50 years of The Doors. We started right here in Venice and we're ending up right here in Venice too so it's all a cycle, you know?" said guitarist Robby Krieger.
"The ocean is just right out there and that's where Jim got the idea to write the song 'Moonlight Drive.' So then we went to Hollywood and made it, but our roots are here," added drummer John Densmore.
The group, known for hits such as "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm," performed "L.A. Woman" for the crowd. Many fans waited hours in the rain to see the them.
"Even though Robby and I sometimes haven't played for years, for me anyway, a couple bars and I'm back. When you do the songs for many, many years over a lifetime they're in your blood and it only takes a second to chase down the magic," said Densmore.
Jim Morrison, the band's lead singer and songwriter, died in 1971 at age 27.
"I have no idea," said Krieger of Morrison's reaction to the honor. "You know you cannot say what Jim would have done or said because he always would do something different, but I bet you he would've been here and he would've dug it and I think he would've been proud."
"I'm sure Ray would've loved it. He was always working the band and this is great," Densmore said.
In 2013, keyboardist Ray Manzarek died of bile duct cancer in Rosenheim, Germany. He was 74.
As for inspiration, Krieger said he still looks to the oldies.
"Well, I listen to '60s music a lot, you know. You know I always try to find something good in today's music and have been failing miserably lately … Yeah, there's always bright spots, but as far as being you know a whole era of music, I am waiting for the next one, something different," he said.
While Densmore finds his close to home.
"I don't have my finger on the pulse of music. I read a lot and what really inspires me are my grandkids," he said.

Do you guys realize how much incredible music these people have given us? And our children's children also? Celebrate them!....
These remaining members are treasures
Awesome! Loved these guys since early 1970s I was like 5 years old. Didnt know who the Doors were but Riders on the Storm ruled the rock stations it was on all the time.
Rip Jim and Ray..thank you jon and robby
Un grande grazie dall'Italia. Ciao Robbie, ciao John e ciao a Ray e un ciao speciale a Jim.
Absolute legends!!! The best by a country mile!!!

Please post positive proof pronto

legends,,good to see this happen,even if Jim and Ray or gone
*ARE not OR Good Lord...

Glad to see Densmore doesn't hold any negative feelings towards Ray Manzarek. These guys are living legends, may they live on for another 1000 years!
Considering john sued Ray until Ray had cancer and died from the stress.
Such great musicians and wonderful people. Love Robbie and John.
Great Show! Happy 50th Anniversary. I am enjoying the rerelease of LA Woman with the unreleased demo tracks. It’s fantastic!
Densmore mentions that Ray and Dorothy had a 2 Bedroom apt in Venice that was $75 a month in 1966. Now the same apartment is probably $2500 a month. It was a simpler time back then.
While the pay was definitely less than today, one could get by with less as well. Now you can’t. So life was easier back then.
These guy represent a spirit when California was on the rise...freedom and creativity. A day that evidently is now gone.
Mint I am from England 🇬🇧 love ❤️ u lots 😮 wow
Thanks much for posting this!

the best band for the 60s
Nadie como "The Doors" para expresar la rebeldía y anhelos de muchas generaciones. Son el más grande grupo de rock de toda la historia. Saludos desde Tultitlán, México.
Great! Thanks for posting this celebration of the Doors! John and Robbie are still alive and Jim and Ray are in the Sky. Maybe they are jamming on new or old songs. Who knows? Anyway, most people don’t know they were from Venice Beach.
The best American band to this day. The best musicianship. Nobody could play organ like Ray and nobody could sing like Jim! They were both incredible! 😎👏🏻⚡️🔥🎸💥🙏🏻

The Doors forever special unique.. still had the same power.
The Doors ,great stuff,,good onya love em
America's tightest, most creative, and prolific production of albums in Rock .one of a kind lead , singer also.
I've been a Major Doors fan all my life, Jim died when I was just 6 months old, so it's obviously an After-The-Fact thing with me. But, now Ray is also gone & while before, I dug it when the 3 got together, it's just time to call it a day. Jim sang "When The Music's Over", but that's the beautiful thing. It never will be. It's eternal. Like Jim is eternally just a kid.
Eternally 27 years old 🖤 🇺🇸 🖤

Very nice tribute.

I'm a die hard fan of the doors for over twenty years since I was in the 10th grade when I was 16 years old and my late dad was a fan of the doors in his hey day and I know it's a just shame that Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison are not with us anymore because they passed away
I spent my money. And just arrived from Père Lachaise Cemetery.where the lizard king is RIP.what a experience.
Really cool !
you guys deserve the top of the monument

Missing Jim and Ray❤❤❤
Cheers !! 🍺 😎 👍
MAGICIANS.
Could the world really handle another Jim Morrison ?The die was cast in the mold was made .It's sad to say he was one of a kind .The music's not over ?
ua-cam.com/video/--RYPHqbD50/v-deo.html
Héroes definitivos.
LEGENDS!
Densmore is a really cool guy. He’s grounded. A real product of the ‘60s. I wonder if Krieger still resents him over the money.
3:45 me too :)
Como assim, os caras estão vivos e tão esquecidos por nós, fãs brasileiros...
*RIP Jim and Ray*
*Today's the 50th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death*

sometimes you don't realize what time does to folks.
Nice
Soon there will be no one left of the Doors. 😞
ua-cam.com/video/--RYPHqbD50/v-deo.html
That will be terrible. I wasn’t on the earth yet for Jim, but when Ray passed away I was incredibly sad. He was the greatest storyteller & so positive. I hope Robby & John stay with us for another 20 years at least!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
man, it gets cold on venice? i didn't think it did, lol
joe smith It is in January. That's our rainy season. Except for this weekend where it's gonna be 80. Go figure 🤔
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷
Wau
Les entêtés de la pub .
This was America's greatest rock band....not the Grateful Dead (although they were a great band, not even close to the Doors).
Jay Birdy Fuck yea! NO ONE fucks with The Doors!
Doors are 10× better than the grateful dead imo 💯
Jay Birdy dead were a folk band with two drummers and no singers. They weren't great on any level except as a disappointment. The Doors had the most unique sound in rock and roll. Nobody sounded remotely like them. Dead's music was a bore. Doors were exciting, you never knew what to expect when they played live; in fact, they never knew what to expect from Jim.
Lithium __6794 They're from same state, different planets.Doors a thousand times better, more original, interesting and edgy. Imagine Jim singing a garbage song like Sugar Magnolia. You can't. He wouldn't.
Doors were a great band, saw them play in Canada, best American band of all time.
Give it up fellas its over.

Before I get to my main point. Now I hate that Oliver Stone movie that portrayed the Doors. But it did introduce me to them I listening to Greatest hits and after that I started by their albums. There are Superb musicians. Shame I never got to see them. Unfortunately I wasn't born around the 60's.
Where’s the drums? Why no organist? Why not use a rock singer?
