George Winston? No shit?
very cool.
very cool.
Vraiment pas indispensable.
The only fact that it is Winston playing doesn't make this tune better. I found it boring... and without any real artistic value. Gave it a 4.
I've always thought "Riders on the Storm" would be better without the vocals. Now I'm certain of it.
"Is that Riders on the Storm"? "hmmm....". "Can you please press 12, thank you". (Thinking to self: Why do we have elevator music).
Really Noice on this rainy Labor day Saturday.
have a great weekend Bill.

How do you know that's 'unintended'?
Exactly. George Winston is a master. I highly doubt it was unintended.
And I am a piano player for over 30+ years.
Thanks RP!

I'm slightly disappointed by the technique. Unintended tempo changes, sometimes lagging slightly behind the beat.

I hear Piss Factory by Patti Smith not Riders of the storm.

Me too. Ray's solo is iconic.
I think there's a great cover out there somewhere but this ain't it.
I'd rather hear Ray Manzarek on his Rhodes piano.

This guy is in tune with the harmonious dimension of his body, interacting with his social and envoronmental context. (It ain't metaphysics, just embodied biology.)

I always enjoy the great covers that RP plays. 7
When I saw George Winston after he performed some of the Doors pieces, he said he's asked quite often about doing Grateful Dead covers (this is the San Francisco Bay Area after all). And he replied that he was never a fan of the Grateful Dead but he loved the Doors.
Thank you,

Bonjour Français de Bordeaux !
Un très bon morceau de piano qui me fait penser aux reprises de Génésis avec deux pianos. J'm !

So different from the original but nice all the same.
I love these covers.

You write this as if you expect the listeners to care about what your opinion is. We don't, is my opinion. I surely don't. I'm sure he didn't. He was very successful at playing the way he was inspired to. He was a master of his craft and ability. Whether you agree with his performance on this song is really of no consequence.
