Who's going? Hopefully it is being promoted this time.

yup. i'll be there with bells on.

hob usually gets some promotion here and there, a bit spotty but better than nothing, i suppose.

in any case, as the date rapidly approaches, my excitement level grows exponentially.

(of course, the show would be better had there not been this unfortunate split among true-blue riders fans, those of us who proudly wear our "D21C" shirts proudly. i guess it came with the departure of ian. those of us who stayed to support the band still make every show an absolutely exciting and alive experience)

BUT...I digress.



yeah, i'l be there.

I'm in too! I can't wait - hoping to hear some Soft Parade (fingers crossed!!)!

Nyree and I will be there. We need to hook up for some pre-shows beers.

count me in. legal this time, baby!

Right on. We'll be in Chicago sometime in the early afternoon............depending on how far we get towards Chicago after Friday's show in Mt. Clemens. I'll PM our phone#.

i will be milling around the hob from probably the early afternoon (you can hear soundchecks from the hob lobby).
any idea around what time the soundcheck will be dave?

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE UPCOMING SHOWS AND I JUST WISH I WAS THERE MYSELF.

OOOPS CAPS

damn, i'm just finding out about this now ~ i knew about the experience hendrix show in chicago on my daughters birthday (ugh!). man, would've been kool to catch up with everybody again. i guess i still have time to get there, only 600 miles (checks watch, balances checkbook) ~ hmmm... =)

Gonna try and get up there in early afternoon, tail gate and check things out, see everyone there.

ill be wearing my d21c, ceremony shirt. will be down later. PM me if you wanna trade phone numbers...

oh WOW im f'in excited!!!

Awesome show i was blown away for them bringing out gloria and the soft parade

Great show and great turn out, was front row in front of Robby, nice to see some of the regulars there and to meet some new ROTS fans also.

You made that girls day when you gave her that guitar pick, turns out she is a huge fan and it was here first show.

I had a total blast at Mt Clemens and Chicago. The guys rocked!!!!! We got to share some very special Doors times with some very special people. It was wonderful to meet up with dear friends old and new.

Hugs to everyone we saw, it was just the nicest time for us.

does anyone remember the setlist?

wow, I think that was my 10th show and this is the ONLY event that I think could've got me to Chicago last nite, what a show.

Closest I ever stood to Ray for most of the show. Near the girl that yelled 'I love you Ray' which was one of several funny moments, (when Brett thought she said his name at first). It seemed like Ray was pointing at the top of my head during the 'political' part of the show. That part really goes to Break On Through, so Im really starting to like it since it's artistic. I wondered if Ray thinks that anyone else (think outside of this country) should get high too?

How about Ray's friends from grammar school on stage? Looks like they were having fun, an existential moment in time, very cool.

(IMO that's the thing about this band. It's about the LIVE experience. I remember thinking I can't really (it's all good) understand Doors fans that wouldn't want to see Manzarek & Krieger jam Doors songs live under any name.. especially on a Saturday night.

I was bummed I didn't see an incense stick jammed in the chrome Z legs of Ray's keyboard (like back in the day as mentioned in his book)!
The thought crossed my mind as they even sold it there..guess I coulda bought Ray a box, didn't think of it until now.

Took a picture for someone with their camera so I know there was at least one camera not counting phones! Lotta people dancing, jamming and partying and having a great time, Gloria and The Soft Parade was excellent to experience live, loud and clear.

Excellent beer service. I like when someone hands me a cold beer right as Carmina Burana from a nearby powerful stack of 7 elevated speakers plus more on the floor starts.

At the end I was really checking out the in-house TV coverage of the show. Camera mix cool. I KNOW someone must've pressed record.

Not sure about order, here's what I remember as of now:

Love Me Two Times
Break On Through
Love Her Madly
When The Music's Over
Peace Frog
Alabama Song
Gloria
Waiting For The Sun
The Soft Parade
Spanish Caravan
Touch Me
L.A. Woman
Riders On The Storm
Light My Fire

thats cool, yeah she looked like she appreciated it. nice to be a part of someone's "first time..."




i have to agree with my friend here, the show was a blast and hanging out with all sorts of great people made for one of the most fun d21c shows ive been to.

real pity that BDM, RHB, and 521 were left out BUT waiting for the sun, gloria, and the f'ing SOFT PARADE additions more than made up for it. i feel like with brett its even more of an audience singalong show than with ian (which is cool), and its great to see the guys laughing and having a fun time up there (robby and phil doing mini-angus young dances was priceless).

robby...wow...its like when you think he cant outdo himself, he does stuff like the solo in WTMO and the riffage in gloria to remind you just how better he gets every.single.time.

all in all, great music, great crowd, great friends, FUCKING PRICEY BEER, great atmosphere...

Too bad we cant do it all over again this weekend, hope its not another 2 + years.

Sounds real close, if you want to get technical then sex machine was before Touch Me, way to much beer-didnt hit the bed till 5 am what a night.

We had a great time. We couldn't have gotten any closer.......................or else we would have been thrown back off the stage like that one girl was.

Here are some preshow pics of us and Universalmind.

the show was amazing! Brett has really come into the songs since last time thru chicago. it was a beautiful evening away from reality that i wish could have gone on forever.

did anyone get any pictures?

faith, peace & love

Great pics gregg.

You guys ROCK!
The girl that got thrown off stage kept hitting me in the head and eventually got thrown out, she was also pulling on Robbys cords and his monitor in front of him, she was toast.

Does anyone have any pictures from the show? Would love to see some!
