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 !!!!
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.
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]
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?
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.
This is amazing - just an old man who knows music and his guitar better than anything jamming and loving every minute of it!!! Absolute LEGEND!!! He makes this look like childs play - like he's half asleep but plays circles around 90% of guitarists!!
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!
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.
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.
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 !
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.✌
to tears, brothers, to tears and choked on tea and watched it again. Thanks Robbie, you still have something to say to the young ones. The best cover version of LMF
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

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.
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.
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 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 live in Camarillo thats so cool
what a performance, I still listen to the Doors frequently and this is just a superb recording + add the nod to "Eleanour Rogby" wow!!!
79 years old in 2025, Happy Birthday Robbie (08JAN2025)! We have loved you for all these years!
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.
this video is why i love the doors music so much, and Robbie Krieger's guitar playing is so much a big part of it 👌
I think it's awesome Robbie is still rocking 🎵🎶🎸 you go Brother 👍
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.
Do it Robby, Do it!!!
Krieger's masterpiece. The Doors might not have made it big without it.

It would be more interesting if all the band members were here! 9:16
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..

I think he's playing out of those Fender DeVille's.
Wonderful
I love You you Robby Krieger and son..
Im now 60 and can remember the music 🎶🎶❤☮️
This is amazing - just an old man who knows music and his guitar better than anything jamming and loving every minute of it!!!
Absolute LEGEND!!!
He makes this look like childs play - like he's half asleep but plays circles around 90% of guitarists!!
Yeah I got to meet Robbie a few times in the 90s... Good brother and a good person..
Go Robbie, you still sound Awesome , My Best, Cousin Figel
A true icon. What an inspiration.
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.

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......

That time has gone, but that sound is still amazing.
Beautiful interpolations, nods to the Doors. Great band.
A total Inspiration! WOW MAN!
A living legend, i have to seen live before he is gone, The Doors my favorite band ever!!
Oh SO GOOD all these years later!! A bunch of talented guys there Robbie!
Great to hear Robbie stretch out. Great sound with the Gibson.
Magic performance ROBBY👍👍👍..music of THE DOORS Is not at the moment...Is FOREVER in our hearths ❤️❤️❤️
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.✌
Yes!!!! Go Robbie...nice drift into Eleanor Rigby...love it.😀
Best thing I've heard in over 40 years!
Awesome he still has it❤
What a find. Robbie, 78 now. The great guitarists are starting to disappear. Let's love 'em while we can!
Robbie Krieger as Legends
Neat how he played favorite things!!
Yes, and "My Favorite Things" was preceded by "Elenore Rigby"!
The joy of his improvisations!!
Robby..you rock Man..😎
Sweet. Nice, Robbie!
My buddy Vinny was at the show and he loved it. Wish I was there 😅
That John Garcia with the mic?
I’m 63 and still smile when I hear this song. They don’t make them like this anymore
"Snowdrops that stay on my nose and eyelashes..." 🎶
I once sat next to Robbie Krieger. Back 2001...He was like Man I don't drink or smoke weed...😁
Cool story!
ROBBIE KRIEGER, STILL SPREADING THE LOVE 💕!!! M.O'B
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.....
Thank you Robbie!!!
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.
Thanks for posting this
Robby..WE Love You
I love you Robby Krieger...
The Living Legend.
Bravo Robbie!!!!!
Love this track.
Love Robbie and the Doors
I was lucky enough to get his autograph on some old "Doors"
stuff, TWICE.
I know them guys up there performing with Robbie is having a BLAST 🎵🎶🥁🎹🎸👍
to tears, brothers, to tears and choked on tea and watched it again. Thanks Robbie, you still have something to say to the young ones. The best cover version of LMF
He wrote it. The entire band got credit for it. That's the original guy for LMF!
4:55 esse solo de 🎸 guitar de Robby IS wonderful.💯💯💯🔊🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸✌️
This video is incredible
Robbie = Love
Looks like it was a great show with Robbie, who's obviously still got it. It's probably nice in CT right about now.
I played this song when it first came out. 😉 (I just turned 73}
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.
While he may not be the greatest guitarist of his age, Robbie is still brimful with ideas. Witness that medley guitar solo!
rockearemos forever!!!! GRACIAS MAESTRO!!
Excellent sound! Keys are great too! ❤
Pretty good pretty good pretty neat pretty neat those are a few of my favorite things
Thanks for the clear blue pure music reality infusion.
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!

🎶 "These are a few of my favorite things..."
My friend Waylon....I smoked a joint with him circa 2001
Dudes 100 years old, good for him
I loved the Doors
Legend. Respect 🫡
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
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.

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.
The good old days
Yo Ed Roth is da man!
