I never thought I'd see the day when The Doors would be playing a sold-out show in New York City again. But last night there I was in the front row of Roseland in awe as Ray and Robby got down, just like I heard them do on their old, live recordings all these years.

Maria Milito from Q104.3, (NYC's classic rock station), announced "from Los Angeles, California, The Doors!" to a full house of eager Doors fans. The band went right into “Roadhouse Blues” to start off the night. They played a set that can't be put into words…but I'll try. It was full of energy, electrifying, hypnotic at some points, and professional throughout. And no one can argue that they weren’t having fun up there. Though Ty Dennis and Angelo Barbera were in the background, their excellent performances did not go unnoticed.

"Break on Through" followed, then an enchanting "When the Music's Over," "Moonlight Drive," and a hard driving "Wild Child." Then they sprung a new song at us entitled "Cops Talk" which will be featured on their new album they are currently working on. The crowd loved the dark/sullen feel it had. Other songs they played were "Love Me Two Times," "Alabama Song," "Peace Frog," and "Light My Fire," which couldn't be complete without an incredible solo by Ray and Robby. Manzarek complained how The Carson Daly Show wouldn't air "Five to One" because of its touchy subject. He stressed to the crowd that we need peace, no more war and for our troops to come home safely. Then he suggested that Bush should smoke a joint. The crowd went wild as they started the song. "LA Woman" closed the show but the crowd didn't want them to leave. Everyone called out for "More!"
