In 1966, The Doors became the house band at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles, and in 1967 they released their self-titled debut album. Frontman Jim Morrison’s commanding voice and the band’s groundbreaking blend of blues, jazz, rock and Eastern musical elements made them one of the most popular and influential American rock bands of all time. As the band approaches 40, founding member and keyboardist Ray Manzarek will join renowned rock journalist Ben Fong-Torres to discuss their upcoming book project The Doors by The Doors. Film clips and conversation will be followed by a special performance by Manzarek, with guests including acclaimed poet Michael McClure and eclectic bassist Rob Wasserman.
