I'm 100% sure he was 5'9 when he was young, he didn't look much shorter compared to Jim who was between 5'10 and 5'11.

I think his peak height might have been 5'9, John Densmore lists himself as 5'8 in his book, and in a lot of Doors pictures Robby (who wore similar boots to Jim's ones) seems to have an inch and a half on John.
Weird enough John Densmore is now about one inch and a half taller than Robby, which is definitely weird, I think Robby shrunked a lot.

In many Doors pics you can definitely see that he's not that short compared to him, I think one inch and a half shorter, considering that Jim was 180 cm I would say that Robby's peak height in the 60s was about 175-76 cm, now he's about 172 cm.

He was the exact same height as 'G'. I still remember the pic. He's 5'6.75.

he, like Jim, always wore boots on stage. I bet Jim's boots were bigger, but he always looked a couple inches taller, and jim was no more than 5'11 with boots, making him about 5'8.5-5'9. Robby had to be 5'7-5'8

Doorsfan, I agree. 5'8" looks about right here. I would say in his prime about 5'9". Jim did look a couple inches taller, like you said because of his boots. So Jim probably was close to Robbie's height, no doubt.

robby, if standing up straight, has clearly half an inch on 5.7 1/2 glenn, making him a strong 5 foot 8. He doesnt look like he has lost much height. Morrison was 2 inches taller than him in cowboy boots. without boots i suspect morrison to be around 5 ft 9ish.
glenn however is clearly not 5 ft 8, a little less.

Jim was only an inch to inch and 1/2 taller than Robby, which makes Jim 5 ft 9 to 5 ft 9 1/2 . Jim Morrison was NOT 5 ft 11 in. Sorry.

Glenn, I'm a big Doors fan, and I appreciate all the posts of Morrison, Krieger, and Manzarek on your site. Would Rob or you consider adding a listing for Densmore ? That would give all 4 Doors a listing on your site, and I think that would be a great honor for a great band.

Kreiger was about the same size as Morrison when he wore those Frye boots. People say he looked slightly shorter, but maybe because of the high forehead from going bald. Remember, Jim had a ton of hair on his head.

This question is for Glenn. I think your heights are pretty much all accurate.
But I was wondering, the December 28, 2007 pic below shows Robbie straighted up, so he isn't leaning in. Don't you think it makes him appear about 1 1/2"-2" taller? Maybe instead of 5'8", maybe 5'9"-5'9 1/2"?

That picture which show Robbie straightened out makes him look a couple inches taller. Almost looks 5'10", but that's with shoes. Probably around 5'9", maybe a little taller when he was younger.

Whats funny is aside fro Morrison, most of the Doors were pretty clean. Pot and psychedelics yes,but only Morrison was the big partier, drinker, drug user.... that is what caused strain in the group. Densmore and Kreiger were actually into holistic food a medetation since they were 19-20. More of the "naturally" high and mind expanded. Morrison was the intoxicated dionysus. Funny thing is that he went from an Adonis to a vagabound in 4 years. If krieger is that bad, imagine if Morrison had lived, what he may have looked like. He'd have given keith richards a run for the title of most weathered rock star

I straightened the pic with rob and glenn. He only appears to be a half inch taller so if there is any footwear advantage etc it would make up for it. He seems 5'8 maybe 5'8.5

Robbie looks like he's leaning somewhat. But, 5'8" looks about right. When he wore boots and stood next to Jim Morrison, they looked around the same height. I wonder if Robbie will come out with a book like the other Doors members did.
