Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
In the Eye of the Sun

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this driving rock track, and at approximately 87 seconds it stands as one of his most extended statements in the post-Morrison Doors catalog. Entering at around 1:55 over the A-major tonality at 121 BPM, Krieger stretches out with the freedom afforded by the trio format, his guitar work spanning a wide dynamic and textural range. Without Morrison's commanding vocal presence, the solo serves as the track's dramatic centerpiece, showcasing Krieger's ability to sustain invention and build intensity over an extended passage.

Robby Krieger was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
