The Doors have released the first official update to their iPad app, which the band launched earlier this year, according to Rolling Stone. The updated version, titled "The Doors," includes unpublished photos and album art as well music and rare concert and interview footage. It also features drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger's first interview together in more than a decade in honor of the late Ray Manzarek, who died earlier this year.
The clip is part of a series called "Ray Remembered," in which the two surviving members of the band wax nostalgic about their beginnings. They talk about Krieger being one of the first musicians to play slide on electric guitar for rock 'n' roll rather than blues. "I played the slide for Morrison, and he really freaked out on that, and he wanted to have it on every song." Then the recalled their first rehearsal when they played "Moonlight Drive." Krieger says, "It was magic man. We knew right then at that point that we had a band."
Densmore and Krieger will be making an appearance together tonight at the Los Angeles screening of Mr. Mojo Risin' : The Story of L.A. Woman at the Bing Theatre.
"Ray Remembered" also includes a slideshow of rare and unreleased images as well as an essay on Manzarek, written by Adam Holzman, whose father Jac is behind the app's creation. It is currently available on the iTunes App Store.
