Forrest Penner, Guitar Tech for Robby Krieger
Join me as I interview Robby Krieger’s guitar tech and Strange Day’s Tribute Band guitarist, Forrest Penner. He talks about how he got into The Doors, what it was like touring with one of the biggest Doors’ tribute bands Wild Child, and what a typical show with Robby is like. We break down Robby’s gear in depth from his strings to his amps, and we also talk about Robby’s version of the National Anthem and what issues they faced.

Live At Konserthuset, Stockholm, September 20, 1968
Celebrate The Doors Stockholm Record Store Day release with a podcast breaking down the shows including excerpts from the newly mixed release! We compare one of the bootleg sources to this mix, and we follow the tapes lineage as well as the various bootleg versions. We also give background on The Doors at this time, talk about the European tour, the venue itself, and we also break down each song and moment that makes this one of the best recorded Doors’ shows ever.
How does the new release handle the missing vocals in “When the Music’s Over”? Are there any cuts in this show? What makes Robby’s solos here different? Is Jim’s distorted vocal track fixed? All these and more are answered!
Whether you traded tapes through Kerry Humphrys’ Doors Collector Magazine and read Greg Shaw’s The Doors: On The Road or you got bootlegged CDs with Fred Baggen artwork and went to the Mild Equator for concert info, there is something here for everybody!
You don’t want to miss this one! Happy Record Store Days you all! -
