Wild Child - Doors Tribute

Saw Wild Child at the Paramount in Huntington NY Saturday and was blown away how amazing they sounded. Lead singer looked like Jim Morrison.Can't wait to see them next time in town.

Wild Child is the best Doors cover band I've seen. The highlight of the night was when "Jim" beckoned the entire audience to the front of the stage around mid way through the show. Everyone rushed to the front and it turned pretty wild (and fun) until the ushers/security guards broke up the crowd and ordered them back to their seats a few songs into it. Great show!

Wild child puts on an amazing show. For those of us that did not get a chance to see the "Doors" Wild Child gives you a chance to experience one of the greatest bands to live. They make sure and stick to all the original tracks and sounds. Wild Child gives you a chance to experience something very few people have had the opportunity or ever will.

It felt like the psychadelic 60's! Everyone was dancing and singing every song. Very groovy show. Felt like I was watching The Doors.

Better than when i say them a few years ago. that had half the audience up in front of the stage rockin. great performance and the price was right!

This is about the 7th time I've seen Wild Child. The first time was about 12 years ago at the Dana Point street fair. I believe that this was the BEST yet! They nailed the Jim Morrison sound and act. I'd recommend anyone who likes Jim Morrison to absolutely see this show -- you'll love it too!

My family and I loved the show! Would go see them again!

Great show. The lead singer is absolutely Jim Morrison!!! I saw The Doors three times in the late 60's, early 70's and the mannerisms, moves, voice are incredibly Jim Morrison. Doors fans should definitely see this show.

We had a blast, danced most of the time in front of the stage. Loved the new Hanger at the O.C. Fair, great new place for a concert.

THE SHOW WAS GREAT, I GOT MY TICKET FAST AND THE BEST PART IS THAT DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT IN THAT LONG LINE.

Gotta give it out to the guys from WILD CHILD great show man really brought the essence of Jim Morrison ALIVE!! I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who LOVES THE DOORS AS MUCH AS I DO!!!!!

I heard from a couple of friends who saw them, they said they were awesome. Well, Wild Child exceeded my expectations of how alike they sound with The Doors. Wild Child were nothing less than EXTRAORDINARY.

I really dug that they were the only band playing that night at the whiskey. The longer the show went on, the more he embodied Jim. His voice seemed to transform to hit the pitches and the right guttural notes at the appropriate time. The mild effects, like dancing in the strobe lights enhanced the music and the ambiance. It was effen amazing.

September 18th, 2009 marked my sixth viewing of the Doors cover band "Wild Child" at a place called Canes in Mission Beach, San Diego. The venue is right on the sand and you can catch a bite upstairs overlooking the ocean before the show starts below. Wild Child delivers an incredible likeness of a live Doors show, performing for about 90 minutes. The band has done their homework, as their show has evolved over the years since the first time a saw them in 1985. Wild Child plays with the same dynamic, precision, and dramatic power as the original Doors. Singer Dave Brock completes the illusion, making you think that you have stepped back in time to the year 1968. Everytime I see Wild Child, they perform a song or two that I have not yet heard them play. Wild Childs audience spans generations, which includes people who have seen the actual Doors band in the sixties who appear positively mesmerized by the performance. I can't wait to see them again!

I went with my wife and few of our friends and had a really good time. First of all, I really like the venue (house of blues at downtown disney) and Wild Child did such a great job performing all of the hit songs of the Doors.

I go to a lot of shows. They were very good. Lead singer was much like the late Jim Morrison, very good singer! However, the House of Blues in Anaheim REALLY needs to fix a couple of things. They have ONE restroom UPSTAIRS!! My friend had a sore leg and must of had to climb those stairs several times that night! Then back down to get back to our spots! The men's room door was wide open so people could see men going, and my date looked down the hall to see me washing and adjusting my dress in the mirror. AWKWARD! Keep the bathrooms closed! With that many stairs, have a restroom on each floor!

The show was amazing. Two set show with a brief break. Great crowd. Awesome atmosphere. Essential for all doors fans. They even played Paint it Black!

Wild Child is a genuine tribute, Jim would be proud, rip 7-3 Cool dudes, really great to their fans

I've heard for years this band is the closest you can get to going back in a time machine and seeing the real deal. I was floored by the performances of every song Wild Child played! Even though I'm not old enough to have seen the Doors live, I'm convinced this would be a near perfect rendition. They opened with Break on Through which really got everyone going! There was a small spot in the song where a strobe light went on and Dave Brock started to do the customary Jim Morrison "Indian" dancing. That alone sealed the deal and I thought, this show is going to be absolutely epic! And it was!! All the songs you'd want to hear were represented and the final song appropriately was, "The End." As the concert went on, you saw more and more of the Jim Morrison "Indian" dancing and you felt as though you were seeing the man himself. All the band members killed it and I was particularly impressed with the drummer. His dynamics were unbelievable. All in all, this is one of the best concerts I've seen!

Didn't really know what to expect but pleasantly surprised. They never stopped their entire set. Can't wait to see them again

Dave Brock (aka Jim Morrison) got older, much older! The band sounded great & so did Dave, but...I wouldnt look at the big screen or get seats too close (we were near the big speaker & it almost blew my eardrum off!) as you dont want to look at the face, especially of Dave Brock, lead singer. He can still belt out the tunes & act sort of like Jim. His choice of clothes were off. Its been a few years since I have seen them. I loved the leather pants, & shirts he wore BEFORE. The outfits were 80's retro! I gave this a 4, because the band was great, & the crowd awesome. Full of energy, friendly & wild but not obnoxious. It might be time to retire Dave.

Dave is a wonderful lead singer and his band is wonderful

Morrison passed before I could see The Doors. However I saw WC lead singer perform with Manzarek and Kreiger of The Doors twice before. His performance and this band is much better. I ordinarily don't care for tribute bands but Wild Child breaks the rule. Like all great acts this group had a crescendoing effect. Fans young and old were dancing in the aisles at the end.

Loved every minute of it!! Def would see em again.

This was my 2nd time seeing Wild Child. If you are a Doors fan, PLEASE do yourself a favor and go and check out these guys!!! Dave Brock, as Morrison, is uncanny in his apperance, vocals, mannerisms, stage presencse, etc. The rest of the band are great, too! The guitarist with the long, black hair would look out at the crowd, dancing & singing, and he would seem so HAPPY! Well, they covered most of The Doors big hits and a few less commercially known songs. IMPORTANT INFO: The Hanger is a very small venue - it was AWESOME!!! Just a head's up, though. If you are gong to the show, you will see people start lining up on either side of the seated audience. During the 1st or 2nd song, "Morrison" says something about coming on down to the front. That is the cue to get up out of your chair and haul butt to the front of the stage. That is what those people waiting on both sides of the seated people are waiting for. It kind of is not fair, if you didn't know this (I did because like I am doing for you, someone mentioned this in their review on here - so I knew he was going to give a signal for that. ). Had I NOT known about this before hand, and was not able to get where I ended up (dead center, leaning up against the stage!), I would have been really, really mad. I had assigned seating and these people lining up, had general admission. They scrambled in a second, once the signal was given. I don't see anyway possible that the people sittting behind all the people now standing in front of the stage, could see anything! Just a head's up - since someone was nice enough to mention it and thank God, because I raced up there before anyone and got the BEST position!!! So, THANK YOU to the person who gave this same advice!!! The last song was "The End". After the show ended, you can briefly (VERY briefly) get a chance to purchase Wild Chld's double c.d. and then line up for a chance for Dave Brock (Jim) to sign it and snap a quick picture. You have to act fast! All in all, and I've been to over 200 concerts - this show was one of the best I have ever seen and, being dead center and in the "front of the front row", I could reach up and touch "Jim's" pants and boot every now & then and make eye contact, etc. I was able to take some incredible pictures and live video. IT WAS INSANE! IT WAS EXCELLENT! It was like The Doors themselves were live and playing! Trust me!!!! Check out WILD CHILD. There is NO WAY you can be dissapointed - NO WAY. LONG LIVE THE DOORS! LONG LIVE MORRISON - thank you, Dave Brock - for continuing his legacy and live performance, and for nailing it!!! I'm sure Jim Morrison was looking down from above and checking out the show. I could feel you, Jim. I could really feel you, enjoying the show!

First time to see these guys and I was impressed will def. see them again.

Wild child delivers, even as old as he is now still bringing back memories of a great era. For the first time HOB let me down with the super bright lights directly into my eyes. The stage was dark, the artist almost invisible and my companion unhappy next day with red eyes.

Wild Child is the real deal. The Doors are my favorite band and Wild Child was as close as I ll ever be to seeing The Doors. Music was on point. The singing was as if Jim was being channeled.

Definitely a solid group of musicians perfectly capable of continuing the Doors legacy. Dave's voice was that Morrison baratone accentuated appropriately with screams and comments.the keyboardist Kit, was excellent as well as the totally capable guitarist and drummer. Highly recommended..lots of fun.

I saw Wild Child at the House of Blues last week. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. This band really sounds like the Doors. I just closed my eyes and imagined I was back in the sixties at the Troubadour. They played two great sets. I'll see them again. This review would have received 5 stars for the band alone, but I took off one because of the venue. Now about this venue: I'm not a big fan of HOB San Diego. Standing room only for most people. I paid the extra to get one of the very few seats that are up in the balcony. Lots of stairs. Not so great for us older folk.

The performance of the music of the doors was excellent. The show started a few minutes after 9 PM, and was finished before 10:30 PM. I feel they should have played at least 30 more minutes. I don't know if something was off, but the energy was low this evening.

My wife and I see a LOT of cover/tribute bands, and this is the best one out there. They never disappoint in getting the audience engaged in the music, they capture the essence of what The Doors were all about and the audiences are age-wise as diverse as any out there. Highly recommended.

Attended Friday night show. We're old hippies. It felt like the 60s at the Whisky (sans the cigarette smoke). I will see them again. Opening act: Stungranade, played a great set to open for Wildchild, but I wish the singer knew the words better.

Very good concert, Dave and musicians have a lot energy during the concert. They are pretty good.

Awesome show.!!!! Sounds and look like the real JM. Played great hit list like Touch Me, L.A Woman, Raodhouse Blues, Break on Through....

The band is fantastic and he visually looks like Jim Morrison. I thought he held back his voice on the first 3 or 4 songs but nailed it later om. The band is exceptional, note for note they were spot on. Wish they had played longer and they didn't play "The End" one of my favorite Doors songs. I would definitely see them again.

This performance was absolutely sick and amazing! I felt like Jim was up there on stage! Dave mastered Jim's every charismatic move and nailed his voice The band are talented musicians and have mastered the unique sound ,and psychedelic vibe. Just an awesome show!

Brought me right back to 1969 at the Garden seeing Morrison. I would definitely see wild child again when they are in NY and recommend the show to every Doors fan.

Great show, great performance! The best Doors tribute band I have seen.

They play all the songs you would expect, except their band name! Kinda low key, but great renditions without the anarchy The Doors commonly created during live sets.

Great band playing true Doors music! Will definitely see them again when back in the area.

They are the ABSOLUTE BEST! You will never be disappointed when you see these guys!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Looked and sounded exactly like Jim Morrison and The Doors. Definitely a MUST SEE.

The just seemed past their prime. Just a routine gig, didn't have the energy.

Awesome Awesome Awesome, these guys ALWAYS deliver a great show! BTW seen them 4 times in 2 different places.❤️❤️❤️

had a blast pretty good impersonation about the fourth time see wild child really like it..

This was the 2nd time I've seen Wild Child and they didn't disappoint. If you are a Doors fan, I'd highly recommend seeing this show.

As far as tribute bands go, I'd have to say Wild Child rates on top along with Queen Nation. Some of these bands have no resemblance to whomever they're imitating, but Dave Brock is an excellent Jim Morrison. Seen them several times.

Great show! They sounded very closely to the original doors and the singer looked just like Jim. Very good show I would definitely watch them again.

Great time with this band. Love hearing the Doors live. Stand

Really enjoyed the cute and talented kids of Minor Strut!!! Only sorry that the lead singer was overshadowed by the instruments. I think a sound adjustment issue. I saw Wild Child in the 90's in Orange County and they are going strong!!! The closest thing you will ever get to Jim Morrison and The Doors!!! Dave does an AMAZING job portraying Jim...

I love the music of The Doors. They do not exist anymore. Wild Child amazingly recreates a concert of The Doors. The music is there and the musicians are very talented, The presence of Jim Morrison is almost there. Dave Brock is extraordinary. He sings and act like Jim Morrison. He is startlingly impressive. I want to see him again as soon as possible. One of the best concert I have ever seen.

What a great show. We powered through the rain to get there and had a blast. This guy has a great voice and the guitar player rocked. Must see for all Doors fans.

Saw Wild Child as a "first date" - we both had a great time.

Amazing experience! Great show ! I took my 15 old daughter to her first concert ever ,because she loves the doors too and it blew her mind ! now she wants to go to another one !

Doors was a great show totally worth it .It Felt like watching the original artist the voice and music was as good as original. Must see this show if you are Jim Morrison Fan

They were spot on. This was my 3rd time seeing Wild Child and this year they were fantastic - just as good as two years ago at The Paramount. Last year we opted to see them at The Gramercy in NYC and the show was plagued with technical difficulties but this year was great. Will definitely go again.

I was transported back to 1970 as the music sounded just like the original Jim Morrison and the Doors. It was soooooo good.My group of six baby boomers were so impressed with the sound and just how many hit songs were song. Just outstanding. If you are considering seeing this show, go! You'll be giving yourself big treat.

Pleasantly surprised. This was not a bar band. Really enjoyed the show

The band sounded like the Doors. The lead singer looked and sang like Jim Morrison.

Wild Child was amazing, Sounded just like the great , late Jim Morrison!! Venue is great

Two-set show, which was great, because I would rather listen to all Doors songs, than an opening act that I may or may not care for. The band sounded really good -- top-notch musicians who do an excellent job of replicating the music, and of course Dave Brock's vocals were incredible... on pretty much every song he sounded as good as (if not better than) Jim Morrison. Anybody who's a Doors fan would dig seeing this band. The only downside is that they're so popular, the HOB venue for their shows is always really crowded, and if you're on the floor, you're packed in pretty tight (unless you choose to stand behind a post or way in the back, where you can't see and hear as well).

The House of Blues is incredible and befitting of the events hosted. Little on the wildside, which I enjoyed. In so far as the event in question, only have couple of concerns, thought the event was to start at 8pm didnt get underway until 8:30+ The sound quality seriously needs improvement. Cant wait until I have the opportunity to view other events. From the 60s Generation See you at the next favored event Michael

The amphitheater is set in the beautiful Big Bear forest at the Big Bear Discovery Center near Fawnskin. This concert is a fund raiser for the So Calif Mountain Foundation which is a very good cause. The concert was amazing! Dave Brock is a Jim Morrison incarnation. Most excellent band, a cut above most other tribute bands. The Mountain Foundation summer season features 5 or 6 events, each with an opening band and the headliner band. Very well put together, the summer series concert is must-see.

Wild Child is still "Wild"! The first time I saw him perform was 21 years ago at a little club called The Hop..since then I've seen him about 10 times & he never fails to do an awesome show. The HOB however needs to cut the amount of people they allow into the bottom part of the venue. We were like sardines, and you couldn't enjoy your beer because you had idiots smoking out alongside of you..seriously..!

They are an incredible band to see live!! The sound amazing and the set list was killer! If you appreciate great music and The Doors, you won't regret seeing them.

I've seen them about 9 times. They get better each show. They are unbelievable. Dave Brock looks and sounds like Jim Morrison. I hope they play at the House Of Blues again.

OMG. this is the reincarnation of J. Morrison! But the lead guitarist was incredible too. surpassed my expectations 120%.

This was the EIGHTH time I've seen Wild Child in the last 10 years. They get better and better. Dave Brock performs like a Jim Morrison clone and the band is right on note-for-note. It may have been my eighth time, but I'll be back for more.

I have been on a tribute band kick this past year and without a doubt this was the best of a great bunch. There was no artificial ackwardness. No costumes or wigs. Just the music and it is glorious and powerful. Is he a dead ringer for JM? From a distance, yes but it is the voice that carries across the years since JM left us. If JM could have see Wild Child through a telescope from 1971, he might have been able to see a future for himself. One where he could have gotten older with dignity and grace. And so could his music. But it is here in spirit though Wild Child and you should be there in the flesh to see for yourself.

I have seen Dave Brock's Morrison tribute four times. He just gets better each time! Would travel across the country again to see him!

This was my first time seeing Wild Child, the show was better than I expected. The Singer, guitar man, piano y drummers all good and professionals. Good show!

I am a big doors fan and wanted to let every doors fan know that Wild Child was amazing. They played every big hit and sounded incredible. They opened with Road house blues and closed the house down with La Women and the End. I will be going to see them every time they are in town. If you are a big doors fan I guarantee you will be brought back in time and think you were listening to the Doors. There were young 20 year olds in the crowd and they were rocking out as much as the older people in the crowd. What a great concert.

best russ i had in years i saw him at singer bowl, as close to the real thing as possible

I enjoyed the music very much and the band played well, wish they would have interacted a bit with the audience or just went above just the singing.

We drove 2 hrs up Big Bear Mountian To see the best Doors Cover band in the country. Dave played Jim Morrison When her came out. My Hairs rose on my arms Excellent Jim to the Laugh. Excellent Love to see again. The rest of the band as Awesome.

Absolutely loved this show! The band was amazing and the crowd was great as well.

I've seen Wild Child many times over the past 20+ years, and every single time they have put on an outstanding show . I had the privilege a few years ago to see them play with the 3 remaining members of the Doors in Costa Mesa, CA. Dave Brock's voice is the closest to Jim Morrison's than anyone else. The musical talent of the rest of the band is remarkable as well. Ray Manzarek would have been proud to hear what a tribute the keyboard player pays him as he pounds out the notes with perfection . And the lead guitar player and drummer are right in step with the quality and talent of the others in this band. We had an outstanding time in a small venue where Wild Child rocked us all!!!

Wild Child was the best Doors cover band I have ever seen.

We were lucky enough to catch the East Coast tour of Wild Child: Dave Brock's Doors Experience this past Saturday night, 8/16. I haven't seen my son that happy in forever, and we danced until the very last note! A remarkable talent in his own right, Dave Brock also channels the most remarkable Morrison imaginable. The band is beyond wonderful, Kit Potamkin smokes the keyboards, and the drummer and guitarist were jaw dropping amazing. Thank you Wild Child for making the trip East! Hope to catch you in California soon! xoxoxo

Fantastic performance by this amazing band. Needless to say that David Brock resurrects the spirit, look and behavior of Jim Morrison like no one else can. I adore the Doors and have been wanting to see Wild Child forever. I am so glad I got to see them. Not to be missed! If I lived in Southern Cal I'd be a groupie! It's amazing what kind of music four guys can produce. Excellent renditions of LA Woman, Hello I Love You, Not to Touch the Earth and even Touch Me (which is a tough song to perform without the horns and strings). And a surpise... they played The End! I saw David Brock perform live with Ray Manzarek and Robbie Kreiger at the Wilbur in Boston September 2012; not only was he great, but so respectful of the actual Doors members, because he did not upstage them once. Cannot rave enough about this band!

When something is advertised as the most Amazing Doors Experience, it is hard to imagine it living up to those lofty expectations. Outside of seeing the original band play, i don't think there could be a better Doors show. Dave Brock was amazing. Great charisma, great everything! He could have been a Jim Morrison understudy. The show was fantastic, had great flow from song to song with personal attention paid to the crowd. Just an outstanding show, and in a great venue like the Fillmore Silver Spring.

Wild Child was fanatstic. I felt like I was a teenager listening to Jim Morrison and the Doors. I recommned this group to any rocker.

Well, there is really nothing bad to say about this event!! It was as if we were seeing The Doors live themselves 45 years ago!! Dave Brock is amazing as Jim Morrison. He's got the look and the sound. How the heck he got the sound down so perfectly I'll never know!! This is a fun night out, anytime of the week!! Get your friends together that enjoy The Doors (and who doesn't) and get to a show!! You will not regret it!!

I would absolutely tell any fan of the Doors to go see Wild Child. They put on an excellent performance that I rocked out at the whole time they were on stage.

The show was absolutely amazing , sound quality was excellent , band was spot on. David Brock was amazing

great experience,loved it,Love to see them again and again

Amazing show. The Doors truly come to life. Awesome set list that includes all your favorite songs.

will see it over and over every time its on l.i., ray is the best in the west

Knowing David Brock for 20 plus years and working with him in California, I knew this would be a great Doors show. I also saw him perform with Ray and Robbie from the original Doors and if anyone can bring Jim Morrison to the stage, David and his band Wild Child can and do it best. From the opening song to the encore, they did not miss a beat and the full band was spot on. I heard people around me say how eerie it was that it felt like Jim was really there. It's so great to see The Doors music still living on and David and band keeping it alive.

I had never seen the doors live but I love the music. Now I can say that for all intensive purposes I had been to a doors concert. They were fantastic. Their drummer, was amazing. He got such a big sound from such a little kit. Truly spot on and intricate.

amazing likeness in voice and looks{considering age difference}

Wild Child! Another great performance! I prefer to see them in Hollywood, but this was a great show, too :)

Awesome.......such great musicians......always entertaining!

Best show ever! I have seen this group quite a few times and this show was awesome. !! Really took me back to my high school days. I was up out of my seat dancing in the back. I can't wait to see them again.

Loved the show. I've seen the band a few times before and I am mesmerized by Dave Brock's performance every time; it's like watching Morrison performing. I am a huge Doors fan and so glad Wild Child keeps their music alive....

Fantastic! The guys nailed it, felt like it was 1969. Venue was great also, sound & video. Well worth the modest ticket price!

2nd time this year at Wild Child performance. All the Doors hits, one after another with no interruption, done well. Just a very good show.

at the Hanger....OC Fair. Sound quality and volume? Good. Performance? Also good. First rate musicians. Dave Brock does a pretty good Jim Morrison approximation. I saw , see them if you can. Worth it. Doors music is great music.

This Doors tribute band is by far the best and I've seen them often over the last 20 years. The musical renditions are spot on, with kudos to the lead guitarist, who plays and improvises just like the Door's Robbie Krieger (although he looks just like Keifer Sutherland's Jack Bauer in 24). Unfortunately, lead singer and Jim Morrison impersonator Dave Brock is looking and acting more like Jim Morrison of the Doors probably would today at age 70. I suggest they no longer project giant screen close ups of his face as there is no longer the close resemblance that he had 10 or 20 years ago to the Lizard King. All in all a great show and worth seeing and paying for this band.
