It's been quite a long time since I've signed on to the forums.  It's probably been almost eight years now that I think about it. However, that's not to say my interest in The Doors has waned in any way.  In fact, I've been playing drums in a Doors tribute band for almost a year now, and I'd love to get your guys' opinions on it.

We're called Break On Through (probably one of the many tributes called that, I'm sure) and we're from Los Angeles, CA. We recently completed our website (www.BreakOnThroughBand.com) and are trying to increase Doors fans awareness of our band.

If you guys have a minute, take a look and check out our videos, music, and schedule to see if we'll be playing near you anytime soon.  If you like what you hear, give us a like on Facebook.  If you don't, let me know if there's something you think we can be doing better.  We've chosen to focus on recreating the studio versions of the songs as faithfully as possible, although a few indulgences are taken on the songs that really allow for it (to keep it fun for us and for you).  However, if you miss hearing the beautiful piano on the solo in Crystal Ship, we're the band for you.  

Here's a video of us performing live:

Let me know what you guys think! Shameless self-promotion over.

Thanks,

Derek


Sounds good man!  rock n roll!

In Topic: How did the harp get in Roadhouse Blues?

Just curious:
Did the Doors ask John Sebastian to come over and play some harp, or did he just happen to show up at the right time?

I could be wrong, but I think he was asked rather than just happening to stop in.  Because on  Wikipedia  it says he played on a bunch of other Doors tunes.  He used the pseudonym because of the whole Miami trial stuff that was going on at the time.  He does a great job on harmonica....  Anybody know who played harmonica on the ending credits of Sesame Street?  Maybe it was also G Puglese... :)

http://en.wikipedia....wiki/G._Puglese

"Sebastian played harmonica with The Doors on the song "Roadhouse Blues" under the pseudonym G. Pugliese to avoid problems with his contract, which was featured on Morrison Hotel album.[8] He also played on "Little Red Rooster" on the live album Alive, She Cried and on seven songs on Live In Detroit.[9][10] He is also credited with playing harmonica on Crosby Stills Nash & Young's "Déjà Vu" from the album of the same name."
