Well... Last night was a long time waiting for me... The DOORS... Live! (even without Jim) & as I knew they did not disappoint!

I got there around 4pm. Already eleven people on line for this general admission show. By the time the door opened Ii was #3 in the door.... needless to say... front row dead center was to be the spot for the night.

The show started at 8:30 (for a 8:00 show) and the band came out smokin'. Robbie was the MVP for the night. He can really smoke....Ray was no slouch either! The set list read as follows:

ROADHOUSE BLUES  Robbie comes out on fire....Ray & Robby jam!
BREAK ON THROUGH  Play it Ray!
WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER  Such a great scary song.
LOVE ME TWO TIMES  Great sing-a-long!
MOONLIGHT DRIVE  Robby plays his best spookie slide
HORSE LATITUDES  Played it for fitzy!
WILD CHILD  Robby plays more mean slide!
COPS TALK  New song....not bad...Ray & Ian trade lines.
ALABAMA SONG  The place starts to go nuts!
BACK DOOR MAN  The lunatic feaver in the crowd really builds!
FIVE TO ONE  Beer flowing...moshing right behind my head.
CRYSTAL SHIP The band slows it down w/ an acoustic version
PEOPLE ARE STRANGE  More acoustic coolness...A great Robby solo.
SPANISH CARAVAN  (Including a ten minute Robby flamenco jam prequel) Excellent!
MAGGIE MCGILL  "Illegitimate son of a rock & roll star"
L.A. WOMAN  More smokin' guitar playing!
LIGHT MY FIRE  Ray can really take it out there.
GET UP, STAND UP Ugh!
LIGHT MY FIRE   My favorite things jam.
RIDER'S ON THE STORM  W/ rain & thunder effects even!
PEACE FROG  The East Coast 'most requested' song!
SOUL KITCHEN  "The clock says it's time to close...now"

I had the best time.....great psychedelic light show... If you weren't there, you missed out... If you can catch them at Jones Beach on Sunday, August 24th! The tickets go on sale next Saturday! I hope i can get one!
