Ray Manzarek, founding member of The Doors, dies at 74

[Donovan]

A couple years ago I wound up with tickets to see the last incarnation of the Doors with Krieger and Manzarek. They were touring as a Doors act with the singer from Fuel, who did a serviceable job filling Morrison's microphone, but their respective talent was amazing. Both Ray and Robbie took turns jamming out in spots where the set list had room for it, and they were clearly enjoying themselves despite the somewhat small venue. It was the first concert my son ever saw and was a no-brainer decision to take him. Too bad about Ray...he seemed very healthy at the time and 74 ain't all that old any more...
