Intro Interview Roadhouse Blues Strange Days/ Interview Love Me Two Times Interview When The Music's Over Outro
Admittance to this elite event was by being on a guest list, or by winning tickets from radio station KLOS 95.5. At 1:10 pm Jim Ladd strolled onstage and began his introduction to the show. At the conclusion of his intro, he went into "Is everybody in?" and out came Ray, Ian Astbury, Stewart Copeland, Angelo Barbera, and Robby to thunderous applause. They kicked off with a rousing rendition of Roadhouse Blues. The second song was Strange Days. Ray explained that this was a new arrangement of the song to make it "updated". He said they wanted it to have wider appeal, even to people in the Middle East. This new arrangement was really cool, the intro is very different. Jim Ladd returned to the stage again and spoke with Ray, then went over and spoke with Robby. Jim asked Robby to talk a little about the next song, since Robby had written it. Robby explained that what he had in mind was servicemen leaving for duty, and "Love Me Two Times" before they left. And with that, they launched into that song. Jim Ladd was onstage again, moving from musician to musician interviewing each of them. Ian spoke of his younger days in England as a Doors fan, and the opportunity he had to be part of the Stoned Immaculate tribute CD. Stewart spoke of John Densmore being an idol of his, and of wanting to be able to play like John. John's absence was explained, in that he has tinnitus which prevents him from being able to play rock and roll. Robby said that he spoke to John just yesterday, that John is totally cool with the rest of the band playing without him, and that he gives them his blessing. Stewart spoke of his own band history and compared being in a 3-piece band to being in a 4-piece or 5-piece band. Angelo was asked how he came to be involved. He replied that he has been playing with Robby for about two years, and was also a part of the band for the VH-1 Storytellers. There was mention made of the new music that Ray and Robby have been creating, and that they are working with Ian on songs. Ray also mentioned poetry by Jim Carroll. The fourth and final song was a terrific When The Music's Over, and then the show was over at 2:00 pm, after 50 minutes of musical bliss.
