The Doors in Concert - Tribute to "THE DOORS"
The Doors in Concert (NL)
The Doors are considered one of the most influential bands of the 1960s, with frontman James Douglas "Jim" Morrison being one of the most charismatic figures in rock music of that time. He would have turned 69 on December 8th. On July 3rd of this year marked the 41st anniversary of his passing. At only 27 years old, he mysteriously died in Paris, and his gravesite at the Père Lachaise Cemetery remains a place of pilgrimage for his numerous young and old fans.
In his honor and in celebration of his 69th birthday, we bring back the good old times with the Dutch tribute band "The Doors in Concert".
The Doors in Concert are an authentic DOORS tribute band. The singer has the right look and perfect voice, the keyboardist has many similarities with Ray Manzarek, the guitarist plays and sounds like Robby Krieger, and finally, the drummer can approach John Densmore's finest nuances.
The absolute authenticity is the hallmark of this tribute band. Only instruments are used that the original band also played to get as close as possible to the right sound. Of course, the Vox Continental, Gibson G-101, and the Gibson SG fit into this framework. The keyboardist of The Doors in Concert plays the bass lines just like Ray Manzarek, using his left hand on a historically correct Silver-Top Fender Rhodes Piano Bass, a model that Manzarek himself has used as well. Vintage Fender amps and microphones are also used, just as THE DOORS did at the time. Every instrument and every piece of technical equipment is carefully and lovingly recreated to match the original equipment, preserving the glorious original sound to the finest detail.
The Doors in Concert reproduce the 'live' sound of the original band. The "live" versions are often musically more interesting and pure than the edited studio recordings.
Inspired by various live recordings (recently remastered and released on CD), songs from these musical realms are played prominently: "The Doors In Concert," "Live at the Aquarius Theatre," "Live in Pittsburgh," "Live in New York," "Live in Stockholm," and "Live at the Matrix".
Along with many hits like Light My Fire, The End, Riders On The Storm, Roadhouse Blues, and Love Street, songs like Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)/Backdoor Man, End Of The Night, Gloria, LA Woman, Unknown Soldier, Hyacinth House, When The Music's Over, and more will be heard.
Jim Morrison is regarded as a rock musician who articulated and exemplified the fantasies, visions, fears, and self-destructiveness of the late 1960s generation. Together with The Doors, he expanded the repertoire of rock music to include multi-layered conceptual pieces and forms of rock theater. The Doors' shows were energetic, explosive, exciting, and often eventful.
The Doors in Concert bring this era back to the stage. Authentic, passionate, perfect in sound and outfit. Anyone who loved Jim Morrison and The Doors should not miss this event and tribute show.
