- December 8, 2003 - As the crew heads straight to the hotel for a little rest and then on to La Scene to get ready for this evenings secret show at this small 300 person capacity club. The band was taken directly to the Pere Lachaise Cemetery where Ray, Robby & Ian were greeted by fans and press photographers. Ray & Robby at first were not going to sign any autographs when they got off the bus, but seeing the throng of fans surround them and asking for autographs they decided to spend a few minutes signing before they made there way over to Jim's grave.
Ray and Robby spent about 15 minutes at Jim's grave, looking at the many photographs and poems that covered Jim's grave. They allowed the press to photograph and videotape them as they lit candles, then took a poem from the grave, light it on fire and Ray scattered the ashes into the heavens. Then the press was asked to leave the area and Ray and Robby got to spend a few minutes alone with their good friend, Jim.
A lot of people don't give enough credit to Ray Manzarek. He could sing while playing two different keyboards at the same time, he was a great songwriter.
He was a master and without him there would not have been the Doors.
Indeed
He was also responsible for making sure all of the band members funds were takin care of .....they would of been broke if Ray wasn't savy about finances.
If we cared about what ignorats have to say, we'd die before we can listen to them all.
Did he ever sing with the group?🤔 Like on an album or in concert?
Hearing Ray say "He was a damn good poet" to himself really got me in my feelings.
he also said that's why we're here to sign stuff not to see our friend jim
@@thanosdarkseid8695 Yeah, the fans were totally uncool and should have waited until after to remotely bother them like that. Ray handled it exactly how you expect him to. With humor and class, letting them know they are being disrespectful to them knowing why they are there.
They both handled this crowd with grace and elegance. The music of The Doors was just truly amazing stuff. I just never tire of it!
Wow, too old friends and bandmates visiting their brother musician and poet. Beautiful, 🥰
Comerade Wireless Caller They did. However they also invited the press to cover the event, and they handled it beautifully. And the press did leave them alone to visit their friend at the grave site for a while, before descending upon them again on their way out. It's not easy being a public figure like that. People always want a piece of you. However, that's the price of Fame. RIP Jim and Ray.
Same here brother
Ray being sarcastic tho “We came here to sign papers not see Jim’s grave” 😂
Huge Doors fan. These are old friends of mine, even though we have never met.
“That’s why I’m here... to sign..items. I’m not here to see Jim” !!!!! What an absolute dude
❤️😂❤️
The band was NOT just Jim Morrison. These guys made it happen !!!!!!!
Not only was the band not just Jim Morrison but Ray Manzarek was pivotal to the sound and success of The Doors. They were both integral parts of the band.
@@satinwhip I believe Jim himself said Robby K. didn't get enough credit for the Door's sound. Robby K. came up with some great melodies on some of their greatest hits. The whole band just worked so well together.
What a stupid whiny thing to say... It was A BAND and a unit of four parts. All were gifted, together they were celestial synergy. Without Jim they did not last as "The Doors" because he was the songwriter and the voice of THAT band. They all lived on to do lots more cool stuff... Why the whiny need to defend them?
True, Robbie Krieger was a great song writer.
Manzarak needs to get over himself ,he sucks and would have never gone anywhere without morrison..maybe a job at the circus.
Unfortunate how Ray and Robbie got absolutely mobbed at Jim's grave; they deserved more respect and space.
Celebrate it as Jim would!, "how many of you people know you're really alive!" be pretty sad if only a handful of people showed up. That's just how Jim would have wanted it rambunctious and lively, he instigated crowd riots, he didn't hold prayer meetings
Took My Wife to this place many years ago . Small group of American Guys at the Grave . So quiet and peaceful.
How many bands get this much attention decades after they last charted? Absolutely amazing.
@@danielbass2895 Yep, Jim broke on through years ago, he's probably dancing with the appaches in heaven
I agree in the way they should be allowed to soak it in without the crowd ray seems to be calling them out in a professional manner. Rip Ray
12:33 Love how Ray remembers the old times and say to Robby "Boy, that was a hell of a time."
Los Angeles, 1968.
Ray Mazerek was such a great musician, deep respect for him and all the remaining Doors for that matter
It's Robby and John left these days. Ray passed away in 2013. May Jim and Ray Rest in Peace.
"Thats why I'm here, to sign items, im not here to see jim "... Heartbreaking. Some fans just dont get it.
Be kind. They're fans....
He was just being flippant, don't take it so serious, people will be people, celebrate the fact that they are still so popular! You know how many celebrities no longer relevant would kill for this attention. We should all be so lucky to be bothered for autographs 40 years later.
There's a time&a place thou💜would of been nice for them to have a bit of privacy too thou to visit their bandmate&friends final resting place...💜🙏RIP Jim...
People aren't just hanging out hoping surviving Doors happen to show up. This was obviously announced in advance, even filmed. If they truly wanted privacy they would have slid in without fanfare. Plus in the description it says they asked everyone to leave and they got time alone at the gravesite at the end. Watch and enjoy.
That comment is not to be taken too seriously. It could even be that he meant that it might look later (on film) like they were only there to sign autographs and not pay homage to Jim.
I wish James Douglas Morrison, could have grown old with the rest of us, imagine what his intellect would have contributed. Peace Profound, Pamela and James.
Still here…
I imagine if Jim hadn't died so young, he may have done some singing with Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin. His voice always had a crooner vibe to it.
Never wou.d of happened with the amount he drank
If Jim was still alive he would be Super Pissed at the Fucked Up World Today! I can't think imagine how he would react,but it would not be good.
@Gene Yuss I would agree with you. I think his common law wife, Pamela, put him there to honor him, and her memory of him, poet and thinker. All writing including the Bible you are quoting from, has the seeds of ideas from an ancient world. A ancient world where Morrison would reflect upon, including the Bible, Dante, Aquinas, Saint Augustine, Homer, Rimbaud, Artaud, Mark, Matthew, Luke, Paul, John. Sometimes society fails to recognize when some one great comes along. I wonder where in Dante’s Divine comedy your personality would fall into? Maybe Virgil could help you understand a personality like Morrison?
12:45 "If he had gone to England instead of going to Paris he'd still be alive." (Ray)
What he say after? This place is a Cancer?
@@williamshepley3923 no I think he said the place: Cannes (also in France).
@@jessejonker4888 yes he was talking about Cannes. it'a nice place, on the Riviera....he said also that Jim didn't communicate a lot in Paris, because he didn't speak the language and french people in 1970 didn't speak english. i guess he meaned that Jim was lonely in Paris so he drunk a lot etc...
This was beautiful! Robbie Krieger seems like a very kind, humble soul. 🌻
Very cool cat
Who is saying otherwise
I met Robbie several times at NAMM shows 2015 - 2020. He is very humble and none assuming. I asked him about the accuracy of a couple scenes in the movie. He spend considerable time talking about it in an a most sincere way. I have video of him playing ping pong in the Gibson green room. The ball kept going under my chair, Robbie chased them all down. It was sort of weird to see a Door under my chair. LOL! He's a much better guitarist than a ping pong player...LOL!
@@RawDaDa What a great memory! Ty for sharing w/ us.
@@---Joy--- here's the video I spoke of.....czcams.com/video/VJGoX9HUdSo/video.html
Amazing how these guys still get swapped with autographs 50 years after Morrisons death! The Doors will never die
This is from 2003 and Ray died in 2013.

@@lindabutcher7014 this is 2003
I am surprised to see so many young people in the crowd. The soul of the Doors are still alive. Long live Rock'nd Roll 👍☮️🙏
Met some hot young chicks at the grave when I was there.
sorry attacking ray and robby at a cemetery no
It looks like it was announced that they were coming going by the crowd size & media there. I visited the grave in 2015 & there was only about 6 people. There's a tree nearby covered in discarded chewing gum. Not sure the significance of that.
Most music today is trash unfortunately and no I'm not a Boomer
The old fans at this hour are in bed or in retirement home . . .
I can’t even fathom standing there, paying my respects to Jim’s grave when all of a sudden Robby and Ray come up behind me to do the same.. God bless all the members and long live the Doors 🫶🏻
What a voice Ray had!
RIP Ray Manzarek 1939-2013
Ray and Robbie handled the crowd with grace.
Like the pros they are.
Their music is timeless.What a loss Jim was to the world
Robbie has always been a very underrated guitar player
Nonsense
Not underrated for anyone who seen him in concert and I was lucky to see the Doors 2nd to last concert at State Fair Music Hall - Dallas Texas 1970.
Robbie had the most beautiful long haunting solos as did the whole band.
Morrison who had the beard was drinking Texas Tall Boys during the solos.
For me *not underrated but definitely overlooked, as are a lot of fine musicians.*
@@casyatbat What on the Hell Earth is this Texas Tall Boys? We do not drink this in France.
Says who ? What a load of shit.
"underrated" is the most overused word in music video's comments.
After 55 years their music sounds like it was made today. They were so ahead of their time
The Doors far better than the gutter music of today 😎👍🏻
They are outside of time.
The Doors the band that transcends time thank you Ray Robby John &Jim Love you.
To all of those wondering who the Morrison look alike is, it’s Ian Astbury of The Cult. He was singing in the band Ray and Robbie put together during the time this video was taken.
Oh wow ! Never would have know that. I loved the Cult. Awesome band. Cool !
Thanks, man. I knew he looked familiar. What a rock history that guy has made for himself, him and Billy.
Thank you. That answers my question. :)
That was my question, thanks!
I thought so, thank you for making that clear. I love Ian Astbury so I did a double take
The intrusiveness of the fans is regrettable in a private moment, but from another point of view it's good to know that the music lives on.
They publicly announced the visit.
If this was gonna be the only lucky instance that I caught these two LEGENDS . You bet your sweet arse im trying to procure an autograph. But if obliged then deeply apologize for the intrusion. For sure. ;)
intrusive if only they didn't tell everyone that they were going there.
I saw the Doors at the Whiskey back in the '60s and they were my favorite band. I was surprised in the '90s when my son told me the Doors were his fav group and Robbie his fav guitar player. I told him about when I'd seen them. About four months later I saw that Robbie's band was coming to our city. So I took my son and we went to the concert. We went backstage after and Robbie was so nice to my son, showing him some stuff on guitar. One of the nicest guys I've ever met.
" We live,we die,and death not ends it"
Jim Morrison (1943-1971)
Death is the beginning of eternity.
I’ve been there several times! Love you guys. RIP Jim, RIP Ray.
I still hope and pray that I can meet Robby and/or John one day. Long Live the Doors.
Ray Manzarek was a great musician!! RIP
so is Robby Krieger…
ALL MUSICIANS OF THE DOORS WERE GREAT.RIP.JIM SND RAY.😢
Wherever Jim is, we can only hope that he and Ray are together again in the afterlife. Rip, gentlemen. 💖✌ "Take the highway to the End of the Night...."
They are probably up there with Jim on vocals and Ray on his Fender Rhodes keyboard bass, Jimi Hendrix on guitar and Elvis showing Jim how to do his crazy leg shakes and Janis all over Taylor Hawkins drunk out of her mind swigging on a bottle of southern comfort

I wished those people would give this guys some space and respect. They weren’t there as tourist, they were visiting a friend. A friend they created music with and had some crazy experiences, changed their life’s forever… but also, you can see their expressions and humbleness like saying, “wow, all this years and people still loves Jim”
Please see my comment above. Thank you.
A bit much from fans but isn't it amazing how the Doors mystique has endured?
@@maryreilly5092 above where?
@@oilyshoes9969 Sorry it didn't appear "Above" but my reply is in the comments!
@@lindabutcher7014 what’s your point ?
The agony & the ecstasy ! Robbie could not hide his pain from losing his best friend, in another vid with no fans just Rob & Ray and was visibly grieving the loss.
Everyone should visit Pere Lachaisse cemetery, it is AMAZING!
It's sad that Ray and Robby couldn't pay their respects privately, I know the cemetery is very popular but I'm sure they aren't able to see Jim's grave very often. Rip Jim and Ray
They publicly announced they were going to the cemetery.
I was born in 1993 and was introduced to the doors when I was 16. They last played in 1970 and I heard them in 2009. Me and my friends who love the band, still wonder how can a band and an artist be so relevant decades after they last played! I mean we were a completely new generation of music lovers and here we are, still listening to the doors at get togethers. What a band. What a legend! In India we dont get to hear much about these type of bands. Those of us who have been fortunate to be introduced to this band were simply blown away. I personally was so influenced by Jim while growing up. His way of looking at things, his thought process....everything was so different and so ahead of his time. Then when you read about his life and how young he was....it adds to the mystery of Jim's personality. Looking at Jim's photo in his grave at 27, is both sad and kind of divine at the same time. He is just timeless! RIP Jim. Long live the lizard king! (Thanks CZcams algorithm)
I was born in 2003. I first listened to The Doors when I was nine. I asked my dad to buy a walkman we saw at a flea market. He had a lot of good old casettes. I was at my grandparents house, I layed stomach-down on the floor, got a paper, got a pencil to draw something, put in the best of mix (because it looked charming, and I could mostly understand the titles- I'm from Hungary. It hooked me). I instantly fell in love. I listened to When the music's over three or four times straight. They really inspired me to play the guitar. Now I'm eighteen, still one of my favourite bands ❤️
I want to say that is Jim Morrison of the Doors will be remembered for the songs that he performed with his friends in the 60's and the 70's and when he was a talented musician with a passion for singing and song writing and film making and I have a lot of pictures of him and the doors on my phone and his poetry too
Years later there not forgotten because they were very talented and Jim's personality had a very deep dark side to him that people to this day are very atracted to it wasn't a act with jim instead way he was
Break on through
@@stephennewcombe452 break on through (to the other side) was on the doors first album in 1967
Robbie wrote the music and lyrics for the iconic Light My Fire. Jim added in the 2nd part of the "funeral pyre". Very underrated guitar player.
@barbj9785: Thanks for that info. I always thought Jim wrote the entire song.
Someone should've directed the crowd to another part of cemetery so Robby and Ray could have a moment to themselves.
That was part of the reason they were there man. What part of publicly announcing their visit don't you get.
Saw the Doors live shortly after Jim Morrison‘s death. Ray Manzarek did a fine job on the vocals.
He had a deep voice
@@Cps2525 he's a tenor
The music is timeless. Almost 62 years old and I still love it.
Their love is like a funeral pyre 💗🌵🌻
Their generosity is so apparent - no prima donna's here - these are the guy's that gave Jim the platform to be himself.
Just a note here. You see Ray still smoking this late in life>?? It's why he is no longer with us.
That you can guarantee! 15-20 years shaved off your life.
@Brian J. Carnevale I think he was having one for Jim, to be honest.
That's so cool to see them sitting there reminiscing with each other.
Ray's Parents and Brother used to own and run a Market next to Lake Isabella by my house years ago
Went to Jim's grave yesterday would rather visit Jim to pay my respects than the queen he did more to heal people with his poetry and music and still does even after his death than she ever did or would... massive respect for you all what a great band and man may he rest in peace and his talent keep his talent living on by sharing your music. Cannot believe how well hidden his grave is but we found it in the end
I went about 20 years ago. Took us ages to find too. Lol. The cemetery is massive and like a maze
We love Jim and we didn’t even know him! These guys played with him! Legends!! Without them there is no Jim, there are no Doors. Thank you! Love the love they received.
Krieger does not get the recognition he deserves. Nobody has copied his tone and sound, soon as you hear it…you know it’s him.
Once a Rockstar, always a Rockstar! I'm sure they can handle a little attention once in a while. I'm glad they got a few moments with Jim
The memories are real for them. They literally were THE DOORS 🚪. It must be bitter sweet for them thinking about their time with Morrison! He was incredible and incredible to look at! So many great songs that are not as popular as their hits like Light My Fire! L.A. Woman is one of their best!
I was there Dec. 2021. and it was a beautiful sunny day. Jim's grave is a small, simple affair, much smaller than I thought it'd be. There were 3 or 4 other people there and we all exchanged greetings. As Jim was a contrarian and iconoclast I thought I'd do the same in his honor, so instead of having a beer and a smoke, I had a milk and a banana.
Beyond Jim's grave Pere LaChaise is chock-a-block full of famous people from history. Chopin is buried there, and one of the workers said people - mainly Polish - still come in droves to see him and leave fresh flowers - his grave was covered in them when I was there. Edith Piaf, Modigliani, Pissaro, Seurat, Proust, Oscar Wilde - coolest grave there by far. There also several bueatiful and moving monuments to victims of war, etc. there. All told I spent about 3 hours there walking around, taking it all in. It was a wonderful experience, and very peaceful. I would strongly recommend you go and see it. From central Paris it's only about 15 minutes away and easy to get there on the subway. And it's located in a nice neighborhood, a good place to go an have a late lunch or early supper afterward and see how Parisians live.
@lecutter9382: Thank you for that very informative comment. Makes me want to visit there.
These guys signed autographs without any problems, class acts. I sure miss Jim and Ray. I visited Paris while visiting my father in 1983 and I didn’t know Jim’s Grave was there. That was before the bust was stolen. I was right next to the cemetery, pisses me off every time I am reminded of it.
One of the greatest bands of the 60's early 70's..
Very calm patient tolerance fun band member’s ❤indeed, but without Jim their amazing souls would never have been known Love You guys and thank you for covering Jim’s gift to us
Evy Rock
I can definitely see how this could get to you after awhile.
People literally wanting a piece of you no matter what the costs.
Well, they handled it like gentlemen, even though they probably didnt want to at times.
There music 🎵🎵 was magic,I never get tired of it, music is one of greatest things god has given us on earth 🌎🌎..
@waynegodfrey6119: I always say that music is what makes this existence bearable for many.
I met John Densmore at a book signing in Dallas a few years ago....and he couldn't have been nicer! good group of guys and one of the all time great rock bands! legends.
Still my favourite band , I still listen to LA women every day I’m driving
I travel to LA frequently from Vegas and I always play LA Woman on my drive into the city. Peace, fellow Doors friend.
Dangerous song while driving. Makes you drive too fast!

Que privilegio que fortuna de estos fans que recibieron autógrafos de tremendas leyendas del rock . Y que paciencia de Ray Manzarek y Robert Krieger para firmar autógrafos a tantos fans eso habla muy bien de ellos . Descanse en paz Ray Manzarek 🕊️ 🎹
I wish I could have met Ray while he was alive. He especially loved Jim and always honored him with nothing but good things to say about him!
I was on a layover in Paris as a flight attendant in april 2012. I got into my room and changed. I was on a mission. I took two trains to Pere LaChaise cemetery in search of Jim’s grave. It was hard to find but after awhile an entire group of people formed in search of the gravesite. It was raining and i bought a bumbershoot that i still have today in april 2022. It was errie because it was a misty rain and i had my iPhone playing riders on the storm. We found jim and i placed my 19 year sobriety chip on his grave. A memory of a lifetime along with crossing abbey road barefoot in London a month later. These life opportunities were never planned they just presented themselves and now are wonderful memories with pictures and videos. I am so grateful to have had the experience since i grew up in the years they were plating. I am a May 16 1956 baby
I met you Robby a few years ago with the GREAT Eric Burdon.
Grands souvenirs
!
Two of a kind
Its amazing that the doors music hasn't aged one day after all these years.
Jim Morrison was a real icon
His music still continues to make sense
Even young people keep loving it
Man
I hate that he couldn’t keep it together
His band members kept it together but Jim wasn’t keen to live
So sad
Such a private/public moment! It could've gone a different way maybe! Classy way to act Ray and Robby! You Rock ☮️ and 💟 • rest in peace 🕯️ Ray and Jim
It is amazing how his legacy has endured and grown in spite of his death 5 decades ago. It blows my mind.
It's because Jim and the Doors members were really genuine people and masters of their art.
Their music and especially Jim's lyrics touched people very deeply.
Bands like The Doors will be studied in a thousand years time.
Ray and Robbie wrote many songs together. Sad we also lost Ray.
Crazy that they are in the pics on the grave as young men with their friend, RIP Jim🤘
They genuinely always loved jim and the way they are so humble and down to earth with fans and still paying they're respects shows they have class and are truely genuine
It was special to see them visiting Jim and paying their respects. The French fans really appreciated the living Doors!
Good Footage! 👏🏻😎🎸
hey did not and did not leave them alone in privacy.
I'm pretty sure Ray was the one who came up with the bright idea to concentrate attention on Jim, who was shy about singing when the band was starting out. I was lucky enough to see them live up in Madison in about 1968.
Madison Wis?
@@duckbrew That's the one! They turned off the sound early, some kind of city ordinance. Jim freaked out totally.
@@klausrain111 So your telling me you saw the Doors in Madison Wis in '68!? Wow.I'm from Watertown 30 mi east of there. I was like 3 at the time. I figured they would have played Milw since it's a bigger city
@@klausrain111 Wow. Was just in Madison last weekend, but I'm from Milwaukee. Love their music and legacy, but '68 was about 30 years before I was even born haha
I saw them in Toronto in 68 as well, and according to my ticket stub we payed $6.25 to get in. That wouldn't even get you a beer at a concert today.
Ray manzarik was the backbone of the door he didn’t just play keyboards he did the bass as well
Jim was the most charismatic singer.the doors gave the spirit of freedom!thanks for all guys!
50 years later, still #1..;thank you guys!
Ray Manzarek died also in 2013... So the video is older...
Absolute legends in the music world!!!
Lol. Chopin legend ...Morrison.. not so much.
These guys were truly unique

What a legacy for such a short time the band was together I think they were together for only 6 yrs
They're so gentle and sweet to their fans! It just warms my heart and makes me very proud and happy to be one of there fans :)
Testament to how cool Robbie and Ray where. Big respect for the kindness they shown to people asking for autographs ❤
Look at EVERYTHING Jim Morrison missed in life. Yes,he's an icon,legend to the music world....being dead in your late 20's isn't worth any of the fame.in my mind
Once you're an icon you're dead anyway
I've often thought the same. Along with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.. none of them made 30...
Who is to say how a life should be lived?
Yes, most people find an early death very sad, especially when it's essentially self inflicted, but hey, as long as you aren't hurting other people directly, then how you live your life is nobody's business.
Somehow I doubt that Jim Morrison had any regrets, regardless of whether you think he should have.
Live YOUR life, and let others do the same...without judgement.
When you die the pains over isn't that what Morrison thought?
@@chadpittman3025 Yes, that death is a friend. Jim was a VERY tortured, unhappy man. But, a genius, nonetheless.

I was there in February 2003. Jim is buried less than a hundred meters from classical composer Frederick Chopin. When Chopin died they removed his heart from his body, placed it in an urn, and sent it to his birthplace in Warsaw, where it sits in a church.

Riders on the Storm. I saw them. Robbie chucked his plectrum in the crowd and it landed by my foot. I covered it up while every1 was looking for it!
Rays keyboard/piano playing and Robbies guitar and John's swing/bossa nova drums were as integral to the Doors sound as Morrisons lyrics/singing.....my favorite American band ever
Wonderful to see them engaging with their fans, then being allowed to reminisce by themselves for a bit at gravesite. Those days are long gone but never forgotten.
Fans and paparazzi were respectful. Great vibes all around!
A truly groundbreaking band from musicians to front man …. Break on through baby 😎
The Doors gave us so much, I only wish they could have found a saving Grace for Jim. It is the greatest thing that they left such a mark in such a short time.
Me emociona hasta las lágrimas ver a Robbie Krieger y Ray Manzareck(RIP)...saludos desde Peru
The fire represents his music track COME ON BABY LIGHT MY FIRE 🔥
I saw them at the Felt Forum in MSG. Can still remember them opening with Touch Me. An unbelievable concert. I was around 7 sections back from the stage . Halfway through the show, Jim took off his leather jacket and threw it into the audience. Went over me by a couple of feet, would have been some souvenir.
You lucky thing mate that was my dream but I live in Australia but they still are my favourite band
It’s not about you…just saying 🥱🤐

It's weird rocking out to music by guys who are old enough to be your parents.
"You can bring The Press back in." Jesus avoid the press
It's like Jim's spirit is resonating with Ray and Robbie. 1971--thanks; they probably left LPs at the grave then, now CDs. They say ghosts don't hang around cemeteries but you can feel the presence of your parents or grandparents when you visit. Now Ray's gone.
1971
God bless all the Doors members ❤❤❤❤Ray annd Robby True gentleman Jim always legend God bless you all
Eu estive visitando o túmulo de Jim Morrison... há uma emoção especial...
Somewhere Jim is watching this on CZcams laughing his ass off
Probably still in Paris, after his hitleresquely faked death...
I was The Doors of the 21st Century french publicist for the show at Zénith (Paris, 6000 capacity) back in December 9th, 2003. The day before, the band agreed to pay a tribute to James Douglas Morrison and Ray asked me to buy 100 candles to distribute to the fans around the grave as it was Jim's 60th birthday. Thanks a lot for the video Old Roadman (I only had few shots before !). It was a very nice memory.
Thanks for the historical background. It was a respectful gathering. Well done.
i’m 28 and ray will always be my favorite keyboard player of all time.
I love his style of keyboard playing too. Specially on light my fire.
Now Ray you're together and you're still playing among the stars the endless sound of the doors ❤️
Добавлю на русском:ептыть какие же они простые в общении люди,уважаю их безмерно.Очень жаль что Рэя уже нет,он действительно классный музыкант, и мне жаль что после Дорз он так и не реализовался в полной мере.Светлая ему память!А Робби желаю здоровья и долгих лет:))
Хотел написать комментарий, но ты уже написал всё, что я хотел!
Здоровья тебе, дружище!
There music truly was art. There body of work is unmatched
Wot aboot their spelling???
Their music and their body.......
As for being 'unmatched' I think that there have been a lot of Rock Bands that have surpassed The Doors.
There are some successful Rock Bands that have produced great music for 15, 20, 30, 40 years.
Sure, most of those Bands have lost members a long the way, though, they've soldiered on and produced quality music.
I think THE CULT are still going..........
Every now and then I'm surprised to hear that an old Band are still in existence.

I also love 30 of STATUS QUO's 33 studio albums.
