those are the only ones I've heard live.  I haven't seen them in a
couple of years.  Not sure about the LA woman-esque song.  I'll have
to think on it.  John would know, and he'd have an idea if BOC did
other Doors tunes live.  I based my remarks about similarity more on
the overall feel of the two bands, less than on musical similarity.
Obviously, BOC is much heavier.  But, especially in the first 3
albums, there's a really dark feeling, intellectually challenging
lyrics, along with a good dose of humor.  The Doors poked fun at
themselves and music in general quite often, and certainly so does
BOC.  And, though a lot of people [probably guitarists like me] think
of BOC as a guitar band, don't forget the heavy emphasis on
keyboards, certainly a connection to the Doors.  Guitar-wise, Robbie
and Buck are at opposite ends, seemingly, though 'Roadhouse' on ETL
shows how well the two work together.  I can't tell who is who.
Anyone care to speculate if Buck is right or left channel on that one?
