Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger announced plans for a Doors reunion
show September 6 at the California Motor Speedway just outside Los
Angeles County. John Densmore is expected to participate but due
to a health concern, there is a possibility his doctors will forbid
him from playing. In that event, The Doors have already arranged
for an alternate world class drummer to fill in. Ian Astbury will
handle the majority of the leadvocals and there will be special
guest vocalists and musicians as well. With the exception of the
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction in 1993 and last year's VH1
Storytellers Special, the band has not played in concert since they
disbanded in 1973. In fact, September 10, 1972 was their last concert
so it is almost 30 years to the day. In Spring of 2003, the band
will announce tour dates for the USA and Europe. After that tour
it is expected The Doors will go into the studio to record an album
of new material. Already Robby, Ray and John have been writing new
songs. (www.robbykrieger.com)
