This is me showing playing some doors songs on my vintage keys as tribute-video "IN MEMORIAN RAY MANZAREK", legendary keyboarder of the DOORS, who died in Germany at the age of only 74, 20.MAI 2013.
I say "thank you for everything RAY MANZAREK"; especially for the meeting which we had; for the inspiration playing these Keys ...
When i say Jam i mean Jam which means that i dont aim to cover each single note & chord "as it has to be" (and in fact when you listen to many of the live records / bootlegs even Ray did play mostly "differently". To make that clear. This is not a try to copy Ray (which you finally cant btw) There´s only one Master and he´s called RM!
I perform the songs more or less "my way" , my style, because when playing like i do here i mostly even dont need to think of it - it simply comes out of me - i "remember basicly some "structures/chords/notes" coming back to and thats it. i dont have all this single notes conserved in my brain!!! :-) So - improvising is the key on a keyboard! hahahaha
And when recording it now again it would be different - maybe even "better" than this because i got more experienced in doing so over the years tough... and sound would be improved because recording gear & experienced are improved as well...
Special thanks to Andreas 'Emil' Krisam.
In this video i play a bunch of Doors-tunes on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass, VOX Continental Organ & Gibson G101 Organ which were used by RAY in the 60´s doors live period. Great Instruments at all... (i tried to let the Organ Sound like on the COBO-HALL/Detroit-Show (08.MAI1970) which is one of my favourite. So what to say?
As Robby Krieger said: "Ray sure did influence my life, and I hope yours to."
I say YES HE DID and big thanks for!
