Nope, not even close. Cool graphic created video accompaniment tho.

Disclaimer: Riders on the Storm is one of my all time favorite rock songs, so I have a right to be personally critical.

That was great. Ray was one of the best keyboardists ever. RIP.

Point granted, criticism duly noted.

Riders is a great song, though not one of my all time favorites. Having been in Doors cover bands in years past, and still covering a few these days, I guess I'm pretty forgiving to various "alternate arrangements". :-)

I enjoyed this arrangement a lot, though the third-world stuff was a bit distracting.

How is Ray not a genius?

Nah, you need an actual psychopath in there to get the right degree of edge. ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think the Playing For Change concept is interesting how they sync all the performers in various locations. I didn’t care for the ululation lady though. Maybe Jim would have thought it was cool.

I was touring with my own singing group in Paris on the same day that Jim Morrison died there, so I have that extra connection.
