Annual Review 2011
We’re looking back on a year filled with anniversaries. Jim Morrison had
died 40 years ago, The Doors had been recording their legendary debut
album 45 years ago, and we from The Doors Experience celebrated our
tenth anniversary at the Reigen club in Vienna, with almost all of our
former band members attending.
For Jim’s 40th anniversary of his death we played two huge
concerts, which were crowded by 3000 plus fans each, on at the
Sparkassenpkatz in Innsbruck /Tyrol, the other at the big Lent Festival
in Maribor / Slovenia. A few weeks before that we had a crowd of more
than 1000 in the heart of Vienna. More excellent concerts in many a new
location were played in Zagreb, Spielfeld, Saalfelden, Timelkam, on an
old castle called Stixenstein. We played the Bergamo area in Italy again
and had harp players John Lee Harper and Cesar join us for Roadhouse
Blues and a few other tunes on stage.
The tour 2011 came to a closure once again in Innsbruck and Zurich with
our legendary New Year’s Eve show at the re-launched Alte Kaserne,
attended by fans from all over Europe and more.
 For
professional reasons our bass player Jürgen Schaupp could not play most
of this year’s concerts. That is why we switched our line-up to that of
the Doors’ live shows in the 1960, with Klaus playing all the bass parts
on the bass keyboard. So from now on we are a four piece concentrating
on the very sound of the Doors’ live albums. Anyway thanks to Jürgen and
all other former bass players we had.
Due to many requests we had our fan
t-shirts
also produced in 6 small sizes for children, whereas 7 sizes for
grown-ups from S to 4XL are available as well. Plus we had a second
button designed, showing our lead singer Jason. T-Shirts and buttons are
available at our concerts or just write an e-mail to presse@thedoors.at
A lot is happening on our youtube-site
www.youtube.com/baronlejois,
where our songs have been downloaded about 700.000 times up to now. Our
video of Break On Through recorded in Zagreb has been downloaded about
220.000 times now.
Download figures of songs on
www.myspace.com/thedoorsexperience
have risen enormously once more. At the end of the year we counted 2.7
million downloads.
Plus there is a whole lot going on at
www.facebook.com/doors.experience where most of the new concert pics
can be found. Plus contests and rare video clips, which are not even on
youtube.
We are looking forward to seeing you again during our tour 2012!.
„Take it as it comes!“
