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 40^th 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!“
