I watched part of an interview Rick Beato recently did with the surviving members of The Doors—John Densmore and Robby Krieger. I found it to be a special thing—the three of them sitting in the studio where Light My Fire and other hits came together.
There they were, getting up in years but still fiery and sharp, reminiscing a bit, sharing details about who influenced them musically, about scouring LA for gigs, how certain songs took form and got recorded, and the brilliance of Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek.
It had the air of three guys just sitting, having a conversation, with all that water having gone under the bridge and plenty of stories to tell. It was cool, for some reason. And Beato doesn’t ask just your run-of-the-mill, starstruck questions, though there might have been a couple of those.
