Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. “The first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock ‘n’ roll – I listened to the radio a lot – Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.

“I started surfing at fourteen. There was lots of classical music in my house. My father liked march music. There was a piano at home. I studied trumpet at ten, but nothing came of it. Then I started playing blues on the piano?no lessons though. When I was seventeen, I started playing guitar. I used my friend’s guitar. I didn’t get my own until I was eighteen. It was a Mexican flamenco guitar. I took flamenco lessons for a few months. I switched around from folk to flamenco to blues to rock ‘n’ roll.

“Records got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock ‘n’ roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn’t been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn’t have gone rock ‘n’ roll.

I didn’t plan on rock ‘n’ roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock ‘n’ roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock ‘n’ roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There’s no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz – which is dying – as far as making any money is concerned.

“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other’s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man’s ideas. Most groups today aren’t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.”

Changeling ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Playing Changeling with my band…

The Changeling is a song that is a lot older than most of the songs on LA Woman. I think The Doors performed it many times in the early days and it didn't sound like it does now, the tune was perfected for LA Woman. Great track!

I love Dan singing The Changeling!

The Changeling,another great Doors song!

"I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town."

Love Changeling, peach of a song. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‰

Love that jam!!! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’€

its gotta be Elenor Rigby pretty good cover who ever this is

I’m the air you breath The food you eat The friend you meet on the swarming street ๐ŸŒž

Definitely it sounds like Changeling, but Jim can sing it much better.

One of my all time favorite

The changeling awesome song

The Maestro’s still got the axe ๐ŸŽธ under total control ๐Ÿ˜Žโ˜ฎ๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŒฒ Do it Robby do it๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽผ โœ๏ธ๐ŸŽ™

The Changeling!

Changeling

Excelente canción

The Changeling

Bellissima,chissà quante volte l avrai suonata...

Franklin on drums. Is this a Robby set or Soul Savages show

Wooow orray

The Changeling from LA Woman. The Doors do James Brown/Stax. One of my favourites on that album….

From LA Woman album... The changeling

Christopher Pacuilli I Live uptown I live downtown I live all around

is everybody in?

Come to the east coast!

St. Louis again?!? Please! โค๏ธ

Great pictures Robby!!!๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽธ

Can you play London Ontario in Canada?

Listening to lots of Doors the past few days. Especially Soft Parade and Morrison Hotel. Over and over. Driving my wife crazy. Her: Didn't you just listen to that? Me: Yes, but these songs are so great I have to hear them again and again.

Sydney Australia please Robby Krieger, or a live stream from one or two would be cool

The Roundhouse, London……please.๐Ÿ˜๐ŸคŸ๐ŸŽถ

I would love to see you do a show in the Calif. Bay Area

Chicagoland - the west suburbs . I love the Acadia theater but also loved the venue back in 2012 when you were with Ray. I forgot the name, the ceiling was a glowing red dome and it was was very rustic, dingy and the smell of stail beer. Just the place The Doors would play at. Or depending on how many shows you wanna play, just pick certain cities. Simplify for yourself with all the work that goes in. Love ya Robby Krieger!!

I would love to see you and your band if you come back to CT. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค˜

Perth Western Australia -my backyard!

Lubbock, Texas ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

What I'd like to see Is a s..tload of music fans, critics, musicologists talking about YOUR ARTISTRY You are a clearly western guitarist, who unlike the great British players Grew naturally from the vine, and defined a millieu that both redefined your past, your influences, while carving new ground The perfect guitarist whose voice articulated ALL 60s, 70s pop culture, all its progress

New York please!

Come to Connecticut!

Minneapolis Minnesota, The Dakota please ๐Ÿค˜

Come to Palm Springs, California

Holly came from Miami F-L-A

Yes please! ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽถโค๏ธ ๏ฟผ

๐ŸŽธGetting lost on stage in what Iโ€™m playing is always the best feeling.

What helps you escape the daily madness?

Same for me, a guitar and a song to sing ๐ŸŽธ

Chasing the Muse is what I call it, when I’m doing my Artwork,the best; Primo! ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hi Robby Krieger! You still sound great! I guess music gets me through... thanks for posting. Robby, I just read that your parent's home burned, I'm so sorry, it's tragic. Strange days have found us.

Awesome ! Your the best at wandering around in the groove , that’s why we come to your shows , thanks man hope your home is ok

Getting lost in WHAT you're playing is also most satisfying. I feel very grateful for you still being out there creating. Be well brother. PEACE & RESPECT โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ™โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ•Šโค๏ธ

I paint every day and can get lost in it. I'm not good or anything but I do enjoy it

Listening to you, playing guitar, watching some football at the moment.

Playing guitar, recording, hanging out with my cat Luna.

Playing piano for me ๐Ÿคฉ

My escape from the daily madness is actually only 1 hour a day Mon-Fri when I watch General Hospital. Those characters have some big, crazy problems.

Playing music and listening to music

Listening your music.

I miss just jamming ๐Ÿ˜ž

Listening to The Doors especially watching the live performances and seeing Jim โค๏ธ

Walk in the nature, ear music that i love, see a good movie

Underrated guitarist

Music heals.

Gardening in above ground steel cattle containers, my 20 year old cockatiel pet bird that sings and talks to me and chickens, reading a lot, watching tv, working on cleaning and decluttering my rooms and watching and hearing you play guitar.

Jeff Beck is smiling.

Sony hall ?

Is this Freeway Jam by Jeff Beck?

Bobby te amo el quinche

Crossword Puzzles!

Robby always love you

La música es tu mejor amigo
