DOORS PLAY PARIS REUNION SET
While visiting France recently to promote their An American Dream LP, (***should be An American Prayer), Doors Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore visited Pere Lachaise cemetery to pay their respects at the grave of late lead singer Jim Morrison on what would have been his 34th birthday.
Later that night they stopped in at the Palace – Paris’ Studio 54 – where they were soon invited up on stage for an impromptu set that included “Ghost Song,” from the Prayer album, and “Light My Fire,” “Love Me Two Times” and “Close To You,” with Manzarek vocalizing. It was the first time the threesome had played live in more than five years.
According to longtime Doors confidante Danny Sugarman, the two most frequently asked questions on the group’s Gallic jaunt were “is Jim really dead?” And “when will the Doors reform?” The most frequently given answer to both, he said, was “Who knows?”<br>
