Robby Krieger, the guitarist whose riffs anchored The Doors through their entire run, brings his band The Soul Savages to the Copa Room for a night built around that catalog of psychedelic blues-rock that still sounds like nothing else from the era. Expect the slow-burning menace of songs built on modal scales and flamenco-tinged phrasing, the kind of guitar work that made Krieger one of the few players to turn a Spanish classical influence into stadium rock. The Soul Savages fill out the sound with the muscle a four-piece needs to carry that material live, leaning into extended jams and the loose, smoky feel the original recordings only hinted at.

The Copa Room itself sets the mood well for this kind of show, an intimate lounge-style room where the band isn't far from the crowd and the sound has room to breathe without getting lost in a cavernous hall. For anyone who grew up on Doors records or just wants to hear that unmistakable guitar tone played by the man who created it, this is as close as you can get six decades later.
