It's a shame that Stewart did not last long in the 21st century doors...man I would have loved seeing that.

One of the few Doors shows with STEWART was in my town . . . AND I SKIPPED IT!!!!

I must have had temporary insanity. HUGE regret.

I was watching tickets for the Philly show, but by the time that rolled around he'd already exited the group.

Having heard some of the recordings of it all, in the end I'm rather glad he got out of that whole mess while the getting was good.

I had tickets to see them in LA but was able to sell them when I learned Stewart would not be playing... was looking forward to it - just like the Outlandos show that didn't happen.

I saw the Riders/Doors-ish play a couple of years ago, and the whole vibe was odd and strange and unsettling and kinda creepy, like the original players being in their own cover band. I've heard the bootlegs, but I really can't imagine how the SC version would have come off.
