Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Story of the Doors

With hits like "Light My Fire," "Riders On The Storm" and "Break On Through," the Doors are one of the most beloved rock groups of all time. Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Story of the Doors is an entertaining lecture-concert celebrating their career and music, featuring Mike on guitar and vocals, Greg Wyard on bass and vocals, Adam Warner on drums and vocals, and Jill Daley on piano and organ.

You'll learn about Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek's 1965 formation of the band in Venice, California, their rise to fame from the nightclubs of the Sunset Strip, their legal problems amid innovative albums that fused rock with poetry, and the afterlife of the Doors following Morrison's untimely death in 1971. The latest in a monthly series that has included sold-out lecture-concerts on David Bowie, Billy Joel, Gordon Lightfoot, Tina Turner and the Beach Boys, Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Story of the Doors is a must-see for any music fan.
