and I have been listening to them for 30 years. The show at BB King's was much tighter than their other shows. Nothing but good song selection and great music.

The band is top notch. The singer sings off key. But Jim sing off key sometimes as well. They played many seldom heard doors songs which I liked. Overall, a good experience.

Loved The Doors. Some of the songs were good. Guitarists and drummer were great. Lead singer voice was good, but left without hearing any of my favorite songs not even the most famous hits. Lead singer repeatedly left stage and didn't return for extended periods. Seemed drunk and not really interested - the real Jim Morrison experience? At end didn't seem interested in what audience wanted and first concert I've ever been to that band didn't come back for an encore. Got the feeling that the encore was behind the curtain. Extremely disappointed. Glad I subsequently found out that some tribute bands are actually great. Would never go to see them again. At times just plain too loud to even understand what you were hearing.

My husband loves the Doors so I got these tix for his birthday...the lead singer was like a fat (sorry..) old, drunk Jim Morrison..he lept turning around and taking a swig of his drink. I know rockers do this but his whole demeanor was so poor!! Never moved around on stage...just lame! Several people around us walked out. We stayed out of respect and comedic wonder if he was going to fall over...Instrumentally they were pretty decent. But never agin. Thank goodness the tix wre only $45....

LEFT THE SHOW AT INTERMISSION. SINGER WAS TERRIBLE..GUITAR PLAYER WAS AVERAGE. KEYBOARD PLAYER AND DRUMMER WERE BETTER. BAND SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT REPLACING SINGER

The musicians were decent. You could tell what they were playing. The lead singer was absolutely horrible. No stage presence what so ever. The worst show I ever went to. The group took a very long break, we left after waiting at least 20 minutes. Wasn't worth waiting or staying for! Definitely not worth the price we paid. Very, very disappointed

Saw The Soft Parade at the Bergen PAC in Englewood NJ. The musicians were great, but the singer seemed like he was not into it. Maybe he was bummed that the hall was half empty. No encore. Did not play LA Woman, The End, When the Music's Over, or even The Soft Parade (which is the name of the band)

THEY ARE ALWAYS GOOD BUT BAND WAS TIGHER TONIGHT THAN ON PRIOR NIGHTS. SINGER HAD SOME DOWNERS, HOWEVER. SONG SLECTION COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. PLAYED THE GREATEST HITS MINGLED IN WITH MUCH LESSER KNOWN SONGS. COULD HAVE BEEN ARRANGED BETTER. A/C WAS TOO COLD IN BB KINGS.

This is my first Doors tribute band. It's a fact copying "Jim" is impossible. On a 1-10 rating, with 10 the best: The band gets a 7.5 The singer gets a 6.5 (he blurrs the words with no feelings, too many beers ). They encored with less popular songs and left a bad taste in my mouth. They did not play LA Woman, which should of been their last song.

Went to see the Soft Parade@ B.B.Kings in NYC. While the band did a great job the singer who portrayed Jim Morrison was ok. There were times Jim was on stage and others you were like who is this guy. I saw them, probably won't again. Didn't play L.A. Woman, The End, or When The Music's Over , staples of the Doors.

On point with every instrument, voice just like The Lizard King. Would be an easy five stars but they only played for a short time.

I saw them at the Bergen Performing Arts Center on Friday December 13th. They may have been playing the Doors music for quite awhile but overall I give the band a C-. Maybe because it was Friday the 13th and the lead singer seemed to have a little too much to drink and was overweight. Not like pictures that they show on the website which many people were talking about when they decided to take an intermission. Interesting having to take an intermission what was that about. When was the last time anyone went to a concert with an intermission? Plus most of the people in my row got up and left. Ok not every part of the show was disappointing but overall I was not impressed.

Terrific concert. nearly 3 hours long and it flew by. Wonderful Doors songs. They were the next best thing to having the Doors themselves play. Only criticism was of the audience who had too many cell phones on looking at their texts and texting back. Don;t understand why people do that at a wonderful tribute concert. Also the lead singer should have been wearing leather pants a la Jim Morrison. But he was terriific anyway.

I've been to a few tribute shows and although they can sometimes be uneven, the Soft Parade's performance at Bergen Pac was a mixture of exceptional music coupled with the very real sense that they couldn't wait to leave! All night they were passing notes and talking with each other about who knows what and there was almost no interaction with the audience. What a shame because by reputation their supposed to be the best of the Doors faux bands and, in fact, there were several moments where I felt like I was being transported back to a time very long ago...

Saw this band 18 years ago. Amazing how long they have been playing the Doors. They really capture the true essence of a Doors live performance. Great extended versions of songs were awesome. It felt like 1967 all over again. Great venue, great sound, great service the drinks kept coming. Let's hope the Soft Parade returns.
