Allright, last night, I saw one the greatest shows in my life. I'm only 21 years old, but I've seen over a 100 of legendary artists. No Eagles, Stones, Springsteen, Fogerty, BB King or could match this performance. Before the show, I already had a good feeling about it, but man. It just had everything , it was fun, it was loose and it was true rock 'n roll. Sometimes when I closed my eyes I thought I was back in 1969, visiting the Fillmore East. All those bands from the sixties/seventies eras playing clean, neat rock n roll these days. Polished. But not The Doors (yes I like to call them The Doors, cause I feel I saw a Doors show last night). At moments, I could truly feel Jim Morrisons spirit flying through the venue, as if he crawled into Ian Ashtbury. Now I'm saying unholy things, I know, but it just felt that way. Man, Ian Ashtbury, what a replacement for Jim. With respect, with honour and with the rock 'n roll spirit of The Doors in his heart. Amazing vocalist.
And what a musicians, from the first song, it was like a great psychedelic party. We smoked and we smoked, with Ray Manzarek as our spiritual advisor.
Highlights:
Roadhouse Blues, great opener
When The Music's Over, bizarre level of playing, after this, they could do The End as well.
LA Woman, best version I've ever heard, great solos
Riders On The Storm, again, great great solos
And then the humor, one of my friends mentioned: If Ray Manzarek would give his own show and asked a 100 bucks for it, I still would go.
Comedy moments with Ray Manzarek:
I’m sorry for those Bush and Rumshfeld assholes, we’ll get them out of there. Let’s not make war, man. Let’s make love, love is the energy where all good things come from. We just want rock ‘n roll, man. And sex. And we want PEACE!
You stoners are our kind of audience. You don’t want no war, you just want to get high. Weed, man. Marijuana! EL ES DEEE! Open the doors of perception. Yeeah, new perception. But don’t do speed, that’s beyond the doors of perception, speed kills.
The best guitar player in the world, Robbiieee Krieger!! Well, the best guitar player in rock ‘n roll, that I knów! Robbie Krieger!!
Now we’re gonna do something different. Robbie Krieger, plays flamenco guitar, he’s the bést flamenco player in rock ‘n roll. Well, he ís the best flamenco player in rock ‘n roll that I knów. Maybe you play the flamenco guitar?
(Ray Manzarek walks up the stage, noticing Robbie Krieger in the corner of his eye)
Hey look! It’s Robbie Krieger! Wow, man!
Ian Ashtbury: This is the worst microphone I had in TEN fucking years. (after 10 songs he gets himself a new one) Well, let’s see of this one’s better. IT IS! You see I was right! Man, don’t trust those guys back there, they’re all smoking pot. Man, I hate hippies!
Ray Manzarek: Ah no man. He’s kidding, we’re all in hippieville here. Hippieville, man!
Ian Ashtbury: Yeah you’re right, I’m only kidding.
Last words of the show:
Vocals Ian Ashtburyyyyy! On guitar…. Robbieeee Kriegeeer! My name is Ray Manzarek. I’m a hippie.

yeah it's weird, something with my memory. it won't work with school tough, maybe that's because I don't give a damn about school

anything related to music is stored in my brain, they call me the walking music encyclopedie. I tried to stop it with smoking pot, but it won't work
I'm glad I helped you remember. It was truly a memorable evening.
