The Soft Parade
is a Doors tribute band founded in 1990 by lead
vocalist Joe Russo. At the urging of long-time Doors and Soft Parade
fan Richard Fuller I caught up with them at a September 11, 2004 performance
at Jammin' Java, Vienna, Virginia. I now see why Richard is so
enthusiastic about The Soft Parade, as seeing them really does make one feel
they are taking in a Jim Morrison (Joe Russo), Ray Manzarek (Mike Abel),
Robby Krieger (Joe Bilotti), John Densmore (Roy Weinberger) performance of
many years ago. I would highly urge Doors fans, and a younger
generation curious about what The Doors were all about to take in a Soft
Parade performance. As follows are photos from their September 11th performance.
