2008 Robby and Particle <> Ray & Robby in Napa <>
Robby guitar auction
Robby Krieger joined
jam band Particle
last night at the Key Club in Hollywood for four songs during the first set.
When Robby stepped up to the mic, he related how the venue was Gazzarri's
back in the day, and explained that there were two stages then and indicated
their locations. (More recently this club was called Billboard Live for a
few years before becoming Key Club). Particle started off with two
songs that lasted approximately 25 minutes and then Robby was introduced.
Together they played Roadhouse Blues, Light My Fire, Riders On The Storm, and L.A. Woman.
Evan Marshall of the
Evan Marshall Band
handled the vocals on Riders On The Storm. The
other three songs were sung by Adam Iscove, who also did the singing back in
March of this year when Robby played several full shows with Particle, and
the set lists were Doors-heavy and Particle-light (those were great
shows!). Robby left after his
songs were finished, and so did Beverly and I.
Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger will be doing a special performance at the Napa Valley Opera House on Saturday, March 21st. This is not listed on the venue website yet at: http://www.nvoh.org/ but tickets are on-sale when you click on the link to buy on-line. I'm not sure what type of program this will be; maybe they will be sharing the stage with an orchestra. Regardless, it sounds cool and different, and I probably have to be there myself! When I learn more about the show, I'll be sharing the news.
A Robby Krieger owned and played black Fender Stratocaster will be auctioned through Julien's on February 6th as part of the 51st Annual Grammy Awards Live Charity Auction benefiting MusicCares. It is estimated to sell for $2,000. to $3,000. To learn more about this auction item #55, go to: http://www.auctionnetwork.com/UpcomingItem.asp?EventId=30340&ShowId=343

Robby Krieger was one of the guest
performers back in late May when Camp Freddy played a month-long
residency at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. He and Camp Freddy were joined
onstage by Train frontman Pat Monahan, and they did a rousing rendition of Led
Zep's 'Whole Lotta Love.' Check that out on YouTube at:

100 of the most revered guitar players crossing multiple genres. Each
guitarist was graded in nine areas including technical ability, influence

2008 Robby & Alice <> review of show
Robby Krieger played
in Phoenix last night
at the Alice Cooper Xmas Pudding show, which is an annual charity concert that
benefits Solid Rock and Arizona's youth. According to a post on the Les
Paul website, Robby played Riders On The Storm, Love Me Two Times, and Roadhouse
Blues, with Alice handling the Morrison vocals. Read the full post at:

I wonder if Robby and Alice manage to get in some golf time together this
weekend!
AZCentral.com ran a re-cap of last night's Alice Cooper annual Xmas Pudding show, which featured Robby as one of the guests. Read it at: http://www.azcentral.com/ent/music/articles/2008/12/14/20081214alicecooperreview.html

birthday party
Here is a link to an interview
with Ray and Robby
that apparently was conducted just prior to their arrival at Barney's Beanery on
Monday night for the party and celebration:

December 9,
2008 Barney's Beanery event
The Doors and KLOS sure know how to throw a party!
Last night's celebration of Jim Morrison's 65th birthday at Barney's Beanery
was open to fans who won tickets through 95.5 KLOS and invited guests. There
was a huge searchlight out front lighting up the night sky and showing the way
to Barney's! When I arrived shortly after 8 p.m., it was already well
underway and Barney's looked like it could be close to capacity. Robby and
Ray had arrived just a few minutes before me ... they were being mobbed by fans
in the parking lot adjacent to Barney's as I was trying to pull in to park, so I
had to circle the block before I could drive in there. Once inside, it was
indeed one big happy gathering. Naturally, the sound system was playing
the new Matrix CD set, and the closed circuit t.v. screens were showing images
of Jim and the band. The food and the drink were all 'on the house' ...
after all, it was a party! I spotted photographer Henry Diltz walking
through the crowd. Riders On The Storm tour manager Marco Moir, bassist
Phil Chen and drum tech Owen Goldman were all in attendance ... and Owen shared
with me that he plays on the forthcoming Robby solo CD that I mentioned last
week. I spotted a merchandise table that I forgot to return to later to
check out, but I did see the Matrix CDs, the 'Jim Morrison Scrapbook' by Rock
Hall VP Jim Henke, and samples of several of the Converse Doors shoes. Ray
and Robby posed in front of the humongous 3-section sheet cake decorated with
The Doors logo, L.A. Woman lyrics, and Happy Birthday Jim ... Ray made the first
cut in the cake, joined by Robby ... at one point they were both holding big
messy chunks of cake, and a few people started encouraging them to feed each
other the cake! That did not happen. After the cake cutting and
photos, they moved over to the bar area where they both spoke (but I could not
hear!). There was a gold
plaque in a stand on the bar, visible in one of the photos I took. I meant
to return later to take a photo, but forgot! However, I know that the
plaque reads: "Here Sat
Jim Morrison - Poet, Artist, Legend." Ray and Robby then adjourned
to the room on the other side where Jim Ladd would be broadcasting live.
The booths and tables had been removed so there was plenty of standing room in
front of the dais that the three of them sat on. Jim interviewed Ray and
Robby between songs, but unfortunately, it simply could not be heard in the room
where I was. There was lots of singing along coming from that room and it
looked like everybody was having a great time. Ray and Robby both made
their exits about 11:30 p.m. By then the crowd inside had thinned and fans
who had been standing outside were allowed in. When I left at about 12:30
a.m. the party was still going on, there were quite a few people inside
Barney's. There are 8 photos from last night that can be
viewed here.
If anyone can find a link to the webcast or other photos, please send it along.

Don't forget tonight's
webcast with Robby and Ray from Barney's Beanery on DJ
Jim Ladd's radio show on KLOS 95.5 ... watch by logging on to
955klos.com
as well as John's radio interview this morning, in about 35
minutes at: http://www.johndensmore.com/denschat.html
Ray and Robby, along with Ian Astbury, Ty Dennis, and Phil Chen, visited Jim Morrison's grave in 2003 on Jim's 60th birthday. I was somewhere in that crowd! The Doors of the 21st Century were on a tour of Europe, and would go on to play an unannounced show at a small club called Le Scene later that night, followed by a huge sold-out show the next night at Le Zenith. An exclusive video of the band members at Jim's grave is available on YouTube for just a few days. View it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6bxopJo8AY (thanks, Art)

2, 2008 Robby solo CD coming
Robby Krieger plans to release a solo
album early next year, according to a small story I found
on-line. It goes on to say the CD will be mostly instrumental and heavily
influenced by Spanish flamenco guitar, and that Little Feat's Richie Hayward
plays most of the drums. The targeted time frame for the release is late
January or early February. Read it at:

2008 Barney's Beanery event <> Robby in DVD
Robby Krieger and
Ray Manzarek will honor what would have been
Jim Morrison's 65th birthday on December 8th with a gala celebration at L.A.
world-famous Barney's Beanery. There will be a live
KLOS radio broadcast hosted by
DJ Jim Ladd.
Winners of a KLOS contest will get to meet & greet Robby and Ray. There
will even be a memorial plaque to mark the place where Jim allegedly urinated on
the bar, which got him barred from the establishment. This event is open
to the public, so maybe you can even get the band's manager Jeff Jampol to buy
you a beer! I know I'm going to give that a shot. This event also
marks the November 18th release of the "Live At The Matrix 1967" 2-CD release.

2008 Robby & Camp Freddy

May 30,
2008 Robby at the Roxy <> more Robby
at the Roxy
Robby Krieger stole the show (in
my humble opinion) at last night's Camp Freddy performance at the Roxy on the
Sunset Strip. Seriously, these are always star-studded ensembles starting
with the members of Camp Freddy themselves, who are then joined onstage by a
never-ending line-up of guest performers for some terrific cover tunes.
Some of last night's guests included Mark McGrath, Juliette Lewis, Naveen
Andrews (Sayid on 'Lost'), and Billy Duffy. When Robby was (finally)
introduced, it was as 'the man who practically invented the Sunset Strip scene'.
The audience response was resounding: appreciative, thrilled, and excited.
He is literally revered!
Robby took care of some hand-slapping at the very front of the stage and then was
joined by Train front man Pat Monahan, who sang a cover of Led Zep's "Whole
Lotta Love." Pat must be a huge Led Zep fan because he has been covering
"Ramble On" in concert for many years, and even released it as a single.
Anyway ... when that song ended, Pat left and out came Billy Idol and Steve
Stevens for, yes of course: "L.A. Woman." I was disappointed
that Robby did not make it back onstage for the finale, but it was mayhem on
stage at that point. There were probably no amps left because most of the
night's performers were back out there. To learn more about Camp Freddy
and check out their pix and reviews, go to:
campfreddy.net
The band was in NYC the night before so it'll probably take them a few days to get
it updated with the guests and the set list.
Robby's appearance last night at the Roxy, and the entire event in general including all the special guests, is covered in much more detail in a press release today than I could have relayed. To read the press release, go to: http://msopr.com/?q=node/3916 (thanks, George)

2008 Robby and School of Rock
Robby Krieger was at The Mint in
Los Angeles on Saturday night for the Hollywood
School of Rock show. Apparently each show is dedicated to a different
band, and this show was about The Doors. I wish I had known about it!
Robby even got onstage and played a few songs with them. Robby's friend
and frequent collaborator Arthur Barrow is involved in this program. To
see a YouTube video of Robby and the young musicians jamming on Roadhouse Blues,
go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRNl8a8nVhs
It's funny watching the young vocalist singing that
she woke up this morning and got herself a beer! Another fun video from

27, 2008 Robby in indy film
Robby Krieger will be included in an
independent film called "Turn It Up!" The filmmaker's name is Bob
Radler, and he writes about this project on Macworld.com.
Radler describes it as “an examination of the
emotional connection between human beings and guitars — on both personal and
societal levels." It will go the film festival route and then maybe to a
theatrical release and to DVD. Read the full story at:

2008 Robby & Particle in LA
Robby Krieger joined Particle again on
Friday
night at the El Rey in Los Angeles. This time the show started with a
Particle song that only last 15 minutes (Thursday night's opener went on for 25
minutes!) ... and then Robby and singer Adam Iscove hit the stage and the real
show began. The set list was similar but not identical to the Anaheim
House of Blues: L.A. Woman, Peace Frog, Roadhouse Blues, Break On Through,
Riders On The Storm, new addition Who Do You Love, new addition Not To Touch The
Earth, and Light My Fire. There were about 4 Particle songs interspersed
and during one of them, I swear I heard Robby playing some Away In India.
They returned for an encore of Soul Kitchen, and just like the night
before, the band returned for a second encore and performed The End. It
was a late night with the show ending at 1:00 a.m.
============================================================
March 14,
2008 Robby on Rockline <> Robby and Particle: GO!
<> Particle's guest singer
I don't know how
my Doors radar
missed this one, but Robby was the guest on 'Rockline' on
Wednesday night. All is not lost, as it can be listened to on 'Rockline
Replay' in five segments. To listen, go to: http://www.rocklineradio.com/
and click on Rockline Replay ...
I'm listening to the first segment right now, where they are talking about the
new 'Live In Pittsburgh' release and playing songs from it ... which,
incidentally, is a GREAT show which was just released!
Robby Krieger joined Particle last night (Thursday) at Anaheim's House of Blues. I have seen Particle shows before in the quest of seeing Robby join them for a few songs ... but this show was VERY different and I am so glad that I was there (thanks, Larry!) After Particle began the show with one of their overly-long jam songs, Robby was introduced along with a singer named Adam something. The singer was actually quite good, so I apologize for not catching his last name. They launched into L.A. Woman, followed by Peace Frog, Roadhouse Blues, Break On Through, Riders On The Storm, and Light My Fire, with 2 or 3 more Particle songs interspersed. They returned for an encore of Soul Kitchen. Much to our astonished delight, they returned for a second encore and performed The End ... yes, they sure did! Although The Doors of the 21st Century / D21C / Riders On The Storm do not perform that song in concert, the Robby Krieger Band always did ... and frankly, this show felt more like a Robby Krieger show with the members of Particle as his backing band, than it did a Particle show with Robby as their guest guitarist. Make no mistake, all the members of Particle are outstanding musicians, but I cannot take too much of their music on its own .... but as a backing band for Robby, that is a horse of a different color! It seemed to me that most of the show attendees were there because of Robby, whose appearances with Particle locally have been heavily promoted. And before I forget, I want to give a shout-out to the three young guys I met in the parking lot and again at the front of the stage ... enthusiastic fans who were there because of Robby, just like Beverly and I were! Robby and Particle have two more shows scheduled: tonight (Friday) at the El Rey in Los Angeles, and then the San Diego House of Blues on Saturday. If you are in southern California and were going to miss these shows because Particle is supposedly the headliner, I urge you to re-consider and go!!!!! I'm even trying to change my own Friday night concert plans to go see Robby and Particle again!
Adam Iscove is the name of the singer who was on stage last night at the Anaheim House of Blues, along with Robby and Particle. Adam is the vocalist for an L.A. area band called Allrise. He will be onstage with Robby and Particle again tonight at the El Rey in Los Angeles and tomorrow night at the San Diego House of Blues.

Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek will be guests this Thursday
night, January 24th on radio's Coast To Coast hosted by George Noory. The

questions surrounding Morrison's death, as well as the belief that he may still
be alive. The show is live nightly from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., Pacific
