Irish Sunday Times - Ireland with some exciting news, especially for the fans who will attend the Riders On The Storm concert in Dublin on April 11th: "In a year in which the Eagles, the Who and the Rolling Stones are set to play Ireland, perhaps it is only fitting that the current incarnation of the Doors are planning to use an Irish date to test their first material for more than three decades. The last time the band recorded new material was in 1972, a year after Jim Morrison, the band’s iconic frontman, was found dead, at the age of 27, in a bathtub in Paris. Now, 34 years on, Robby Krieger, the guitarist, has revealed he has recorded five new songs with fellow original member Ray Manzarek, the organist. Providing the vocals in place of Morrison is Ian Astbury, former lead singer with British band the Cult. Krieger says he will try out the new material when he performs at the RDS in Dublin next month, along with classic hits such as Light My Fire."

see a slow few weeks at these parts but now news is starting roll in, and good news at that cool.gif. The only new songs of course ever performed were Cops Talk, Eagle in the Whirpool, and An American Express once. Ray also did Street of Crocodiles once at an evening of spoken word. Should be very exciting to see whats next

I talked to Ray today and he said he didn't know if they were adding in more than Cops Talk and Eagle. If I find out more I'll let you know.

nudge him in the direction of "even more new songs" Dave wink.gif

oh and if part of the problem is that Ian hasn't had time to learn more lyrics whilst being busy with The Cult, tell Ray "An American Express" would be just fine

Not right now. The current European tour leg is finalized, so if possible you should try to make it to one of those gigs.
