About this listen

Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight.

Through a series of vignettes, Robby takes listeners back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. Both a time capsule of the 1960s counterculture and a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician, Set the Night on Fire is a must-hear for Doors fans and an essential volume of American pop.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I have been totally hooked on this Audible, it’s made me laugh, and cry. I learnt so much that I didn’t know. I love The Doors and their music will live on.
Thank you Robby

I'd just finished (and enjoyed) 'Jim Morrison' by Stephen Davis so moved onto this book by Robby Kreiger. It's better.
A first-hand account of his journey with and without the Doors. He's honest, it's not an ego trip and he writes with humour. I laughed out loud more than once.
Highly recommended.

Outstanding

Couldn’t of found a better person to narrate this audio book, Dennis’s laid back narration reflects Robby’s personality well. Awesome book, found out loads more about the Doors history that I never knew, and I have read a lot about the Doors.
