Friday night, surviving Doors members Robbie Krieger and John Densmore held their long-in-the-planning salute to their late bandmate Ray Manzarek.
Manzarek died on May 20, 2013 and, even though Densmore was on the outs with the other two members over the use of Doors name and music in advertising, he and Robbie made amends to eventually put on Friday’s show.
The majority of the evening was Doors songs performed by a long list of guests including Warren Haynes, Taylor Hawkins and Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters), John Doe and Exena Cervenka (X), Robert DeLeo (STP) and Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction).
Densmore only played on five songs, telling the crowd that he had “blown out” his ears years earlier. Perkins played on the majority of songs.
