The inner journey may have been infinite, muses guitarist Robby Krieger, but for The Doors the real action took place on a tight, two-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard. \u201cThe London Fog, the Whisky, Sunset Sound, the Workshop\u2026\u201d he reels off names like a spell; an incantation, you might say, to the shapeshifting music conjured up in these places, usually under cover of darkness. Am<\/p>\n

Krieger is well placed to understand how deeply the songs of The Doors are steeped in the nocturnal magic of LA. Krieger and John Densmore were the only LA natives in the band, and Krieger grew up in Pacific Palisades, a few miles along the seafront from the band\u2019s early Venice Beach rehearsal space. He wrote the talismanic \u201cLight My Fire\u201d at his parents\u2019 home, while he and Morrison also collaborated there on \u201cStrange Days\u201d, \u201cWaiting For The Sun\u201d and an embryonic version of \u201cThe End\u201d.<\/p>\n

As if to underscore the band\u2019s spiritual connection to Los Angeles, for The Doors, says Krieger, the trouble always began away from home: Miami, New Orleans, Seattle, Ann Arbor\u2026 \u201cThe gig that almost ruined us was at the University of Michigan,\u201d he says. \u201cOn our way, we saw this ice cream place. We didn\u2019t realise Jim had an aversion to ice cream, so he said, \u2018I\u2019m going to the bar.\u2019 By the time we got to the gig, he was really messed up. When he finally got up on stage, he didn\u2019t want to play any of our songs, he just wanted to do a blues. John and I got so pissed, we left the stage. Morrison was always on the edge of destruction\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n
