Interestingly, Harrison Ford was a roadie for The Doors for a brief period of time.

Best cover band ever?

Ray, Robby and John were right on. The Jim was a little off imho, but then, how does anybody do Jim spot on? I thought Kilmer got closest in the The Doors movie, but that flick wore me down.

Meanwhile, this is likely the worst cover band of all-time. They said that after this guy sang, grass never grew in that field again.

Holy shit my new fav band. Countdown now begins until they are accused of being racist and white supremacist and sexist because they are perfect looking Caucasians, are religious and are from rural Georgia and sing country music.

Sure beats anything the Dixie Chicks ever did.

They're actually a tribute band rather than a cover band. They are from the Netherlands.
THE DOORS TRIBUTE BAND
Relive the authentic live sound and appearance. The Doors in Concert is a The Doors tribute band with the same sound, looks, equipment and energy as The Doors in their prime.

Authentic live sound and appearance
We exclusively use the exact same instruments and setlists as The Doors during their golden days. Our The Doors tribute band focuses on all the tiny details that made The Doors one of the most iconic psychedelic rock bands that ever walked the earth. All those little details together make a big difference from any other The Doors tribute band!

.....

What’s a The Doors tribute band?
You probably heard about The Doors, the most awesome Californian psychedelic rock band from the sixties. Founded on Venice beach in 1965, Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore enriched the world with six legendary (and platinum) rock albums, with timeless classics such as Light My Fire, Break On Through, Touch Me, L.A. Woman and Riders On the Storm.

Nostalgic longing for The Doors in their prime
After Jim Morrison’s untimely death in 1971, the remaining band members released two more studio albums – but their sound never really went back to that shamanic acid rock sound of The Doors’ earlier years, resulting in a worldwide nostalgic longing for the psychedelic sound and appearance of the original The Doors. That’s where The Doors tribute bands come in. The Doors tribute bands try to fill that longing for experiencing The Doors live on stage.

The Doors in Concert: authentic Doors tribute band

The Doors tribute band versus The Doors cover band
Make no mistake, The Doors tribute bands are not The Doors cover bands. The Doors cover bands simply play songs from The Doors, while The Doors tribute bands respectfully pay tribute to their Californian acid rock idols and try to keep The Doors’ legacy alive by carefully recreating a live concert from The Doors. That's so much more than a The Doors cover band.

Authentic Doors tribute band
There are a lot of The Doors tribute bands out there, but The Doors in Concert is the most authentic The Doors tribute band of them all. We (The Doors in Concert) fell in love with The Doors' live albums and bootlegs, which show a much purer The Doors sound than on the studio albums. That is why our The Doors tribute band is named after the eponymous live album.

Being an authentic The Doors tribute band means that we recreate the exact same live sound and appearance as The Doors in their prime. Meaning that we simply put way too much effort in all the tiny details that made The Doors the most iconic psychedelic rock band that ever walked the earth. But all those little details together make a big difference from other The Doors tribute bands. Even our band van is authentic!

The exact same instruments, amplifiers and microphones
We keep The Doors’ legacy alive by exclusively using the original, authentic instruments, amplifiers and microphones that The Doors used on stage in the sixties and early seventies.

Same organ and piano bass as The Doors’ Ray Manzarek
Being an authentic The Doors tribute band means that our organist (Willem Vonhof) is also our bassist. Just like The Doors’ Ray Manzarek, Willem plays the same Gibson G101 organ (1967) or Vox Continental organ (1966) with his right hand, whilst playing bass on the same gold sparkle Fender Rhodes piano bass (1966) or silver sparkle Fender Rhodes piano bass (1966) with his left hand.

Ben Webster, anyone? At the 1:06 mark, someone in the audience sneezes and Webster hesitates, raises an eyebrow and then continues to play while Shavers laughs.
