The Doors' surviving members jam to honor their dead keyboardist — and it's somehow not depressing.
A hybrid concert and documentary capturing a 2016 performance in Los Angeles, CA by surviving Doors members John Densmore and Robby Krieger to honor fellow Doors member Ray Manzarek on what would have been his birthday on February 12th. The film also includes rare archival footage of the band, conversations with Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, and esteemed music journalist Ben Fong-Torres, as well as new interviews with John and Robby. Proceeds from the LA concert were donated to Stand Up for Cancer as selected by Ray Manzarek.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Justin Kreutzmann is Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann's son — rock royalty documenting rock royalty.
This 2016 show was one of the last times Densmore and Krieger performed together publicly; their decades-long legal feud over The Doors name made this reunion politically significant.
