Throwback to celebrating @JeffersonAirp star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Airplane and The Doors crossed paths plenty back in the day. We played many of the same clubs and festivals and even shared the stage during our 1968 European tour.

"You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask." -Jim Morrison

The moment those first organ notes hit, you know it’s “Light My Fire.”
Inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Invention No. 8,” this intro has been called “one of the most recognizable sounds in the history of rock music.” Manzarek magic at its finest.

From a 1967 Las Vegas show to a limited-edition print.
This original poster was created by German artist Wilfred Weisser for The Doors’ August 25, 1967 performance at the Las Vegas Convention. Weisser spent time in San Francisco during the mid-’60s, going to concerts and submitting his artwork to local venues, before eventually returning to Germany.
With only approximately three original posters known to remain, this piece offers a rare look at The Doors’ early concert history.
A new edition of 100 prints is now available exclusively through The Doors Store. Measuring 19" × 24", each print is produced on 300 gsm Art Natural F.A. paper with a smooth matte finish and printed using a Canon Pro 4000 12-color ink printer.
Limited stock remains.

Jim Morrison + Ed Sullivan = one memorable night.
On September 17th, 1967, The Doors made their national TV debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Producers asked Jim to change one line in “Light My Fire.” He said he would. Then he sang it exactly as written.
Needless to say, Ed Sullivan wasn’t thrilled.

September 1965: Jim, John, Ray, and Ray’s brothers stepped into World Pacific Studios in Los Angeles to record a six-song demo that would become the blueprint for their sound and eventually their self-titled debut album, THE DOORS.
“We had our own acetate with six songs... Jim slipped into their yellow bug... having heard his voice on tape for the first time, was beaming from the backseat.” - @JohnDensmore

Happy Birthday to Jac Holzman.
One of the first to recognize what The Doors could become, Jac signed the band to Elektra Records in 1966 after seeing them perform at the Whisky a Go Go. Beyond giving the band creative freedom, Jac understood the importance of looking out for Jim while giving him the space to be himself.
As Jac later reflected:
“Jim and I were never really close friends, but there was a fundamental trust between us. He sensed that I would serve him and the band best by not being a part of the entourage, by preserving my objectivity, and by being available as needed 'in the clutch.'”

In fall 1965, Robby Krieger stepped in as the final piece of The Doors. 🎸
Blending fingerstyle flamenco, slide guitar, and Blues, he instantly shaped the band's sound and brought the songs to match. In addition to his bottleneck slide work, Krieger penned heavy hitters like “Light My Fire,” “Love Me Two Times,” “Touch Me,” and “Love Her Madly.”
“The biggest thing for me beyond inspiration – no matter where I get it from - is that I never try and copy anybody.” - @OfficialKrieger
On this day in 1968, The Doors stopped in Frankfurt, West Germany, to film a performance of “Hello, I Love You” for the TV program 4-3-2-1 HOT & SWEET.
Set up in the middle of Römer Square, the band performed as locals went about their midday strolls.

Happy Birthday to Jac Holzman.
One of the first people to truly believe in The Doors, Jac signed the band to Elektra Records in 1966 and gave them the creative freedom to become who they were. His vision helped shape everything from their music and album design to the way the band was introduced to the world.
