Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger, two of the founding members of The Doors, spoke with Classic Rock Central during a recent performance as Riders on the Storm at the Keswick Theatre outside Philadelphia. In this video interview Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger discuss their upcoming live concert on July 3rd in Paris, France, the very day of Jim Morrison’s death. http://www.classicrockcentral.com/more_classic_rock.cfm?ID=11 Krieger said he's been to Jim's grave several times and it's become the third most popular tourist attraction in Paris. The video interview also spotlights the performance of Riders on the Storm with new front man Brett Scallions, former lead singer for the platinum selling band Fuel. This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Doors. The Venice Beach, California, based band released their first record in 1967. In February of 2007 the band was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award and a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. According to Manzarek, superstar producer Dick Wolf, of the “Law and Order” television series will be producing a Doors documentary for theatrical release in 2008. It will contain original footage of the band during their heyday along with interviews of the band members. In addition, Riders on the Storm will cut a new CD sometime later this year of new material. It is planned to include a couple of unreleased Warren Zevon songs as well as new material from Manzarek and Krieger.
