An Evening with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Wolverhampton Civic Hall: Sunday 18th July 2010

“Is everybody in? The Ceremony is about to begin...”

In 1965 in Venice Beach, California, RAY MANZAREK, ROBBY KRIEGER, JIM MORRISON and JOHN DENSMORE came together as THE DOORS. During a short six year period the group created the sound of a generation that has remained timeless to this day. The story, real or embellished, has become legend but that is only one part of appeal of the group, the real story is the music.

THE DOORS founding members, MANZAREK and KRIEGER, now take THE DOORS music to new territory by performing with a local 52 piece orchestra in each city. Conductor Brent Havens, has charted out THE DOORS songs that will take the band and audience on a two hour plus ride of their musical history; “Light My Fire”, “Break On Through”, “L.A. Woman”, “Riders On The Storm”, “Roadhouse Blues”, “Touch Me”, “Crystal Ship”, “Love Me Two Times”, “Waiting For The Sun” and many more.

For those of us who never got to see THE DOORS, this is a chance to see two members of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame play some of the most revered music in history, music so powerful it has been the subject of books, documentaries and an Oliver Stone movie. Now for the first time on tour, you can hear their music re-imagined with orchestra and the band that created it. When Ray and Robby take the stage, the legend of THE DOORS remains alive and well.
