At around 8:15 the lights went down, and Ty and Angelo walked on the stage, followed by Ian. Then the moment I had been waiting for, Ray and Robby walked onstage! I looked back at my friends who were looking down at me with their hands in the air, and I almost lost it right there! The opening lines of “Roadhouse Blues” started, and I stood there in awe watching Ray and Robby play live right in front of me! “Break On Through” came next, followed by a great version of “When The Music's Over.” Robby slipped on the bottleneck for “Wild Child” and “Moonlight Drive,” which both sounded great. During “Backdoor Man” they had some video footage of some old blues guitarists, which was really cool. In the middle of the song Ian decided to replace the word "chicken" with "pussy" which got lots of applause from the crowd. After that they played acoustic versions of “Crystal Ship” and “People Are Strange.” The songs sounded different acoustically, but both sounded really great. It was nice to hear a different spin on some familiar songs. Robby then went into a long intro for “Spanish Caravan” which was amazing to watch. I just sat there looking at his fingers, wondering how he did it! I don't understand why Robby isn't considered one of the best guitarists around. I wish Robby had been given more time on the studio version of that song! “Maggie M'Gill” and “L.A. Woman” followed. Those songs were the highlight for me. I don't think either song could have been played any better. I'm glad they are doing some lesser-known songs like “Maggie M'Gill,” hopefully they play more songs like it! During “L.A. Woman” Ian yelled out, "This is for Jim!" and the whole place went nuts. You can tell that Ian is such a big fan of these songs and this band and that he feels privileged to be a part of this. The band left the stage to a huge ovation.

You could hear the rain and thunder as the guys walked back out to start “Riders On The Storm.” We are really fortunate that we get to hear live versions of songs like this, as not many people before this tour ever got to hear “L.A. Woman” or “Riders On The Storm” live. As the song finished, you could hear Ray count off and they went into “Light My Fire.” I was in such a daze the entire time it never even dawned on me that they hadn't played that yet! Ray and Robby both played great, long solos, and Angelo got to do an awesome bass solo as well! “Soul Kitchen” closed the show with tons of people rushing the stage! The band left the stage and a picture of Jim came up on the screen, to which everyone stood and cheered. As most people were leaving, a select few of us got our chance to go backstage and meet The Doors. When I got back there Ian was talking to some of the fans, then walked over to a table with Ray and Robby to sign some autographs. Ray was first at the table, so I asked him to autograph my ticket. He was very nice to everyone, willing to spend some time talking to each fan. Next I got to Ian, who asked how old I was. I told him I was 23, and he said one day I would be an old fart like them! Ian was so friendly and cordial to everyone; it's so great to see people like that. Finally I got to Robby. I told him how much his music means to me and how thankful I am that they are doing this tour. He shook my hand and said that he really appreciated the support, and that he was glad that I could make it to the show. As I walked back to my friends who were waiting for me at the car, I was trying to comprehend what had just happened. I just shook hands and got the autographs of two of The Doors! For the entire ride home I just sat there staring at my autographed ticket, realizing what had happened that night. My friends also said how great they thought the show was, even though they weren't familiar with all of the songs that were played. When I bought the ticket I was expecting nothing less than to see the greatest concert of my life, and it turned out to be more than I ever dreamed possible. The Doors have had a huge impact on my life, and I am glad I got the opportunity to thank Ray and Robby for what they have done for me.
