The Doors erstmals seit Jahren wieder aufgetreten

Los Angeles (dpa) – Zum ersten Mal seit mehr als sieben Jahren ist die Band The Doors wieder öffentlich aufgetreten. Die drei Mitglieder der legendären Rockband spielten in Hollywood ihre Hits für eine Fernsehshow ein. In die Rolle von Lead-Sänger Jim Morrison, der 1971 einem Herzanfall erlegen war, schlüpften abwechselnd Musiker anderer Bands. Zuletzt waren Gitarrist Robby Krieger, Keyboarder Ray Manzarek und Drummer John Densmore 1993 aufgetreten, als die Doors in die Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame aufgenommen wurden.

VH1 Has Prepared A Doors Celebration Due In Mid-November

THE DOORS: A CELEBRATION, recorded September 26, 2000 at a Los Angeles soundstage, reunited Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore for the first time since the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction almost a decade ago, was a magical, transcendent event. Ian Astbury of The Cult, and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots stole the show, but Scott Stapp from Creed capped the evening off with a perfect pitch and attitude – all singers showed up, not because they appeared on the upcoming tribute album STONED IMMACULATE, but because they were honored to play with their heroes, the musicians known as The Doors. Perry Farrell was the special guest performer and enchanted the audience with his version of L.A. Woman and Travis Meeks of Days Of The New received a standing ovation for his passionate performance of The End, a song The Doors thought could not be performed by anybody but Jim Morrison.
   Over a dozen songs were recorded and will air on VH1 Thanksgiving Weekend as a part of the stations Storytellers series. On the day it airs, VH1 will be dedicating the entire day to The Doors, broadcasting every home video, their own Legends special, and the Oliver Stone movie The Doors. Then the celebration ends and the ceremony begins as the three Doors take the stage and proceed to set the night on fire. (www.thedoors.com)
