Jim would be proud of you Ray how you humbly and gracefully handled the Band and working with Other Bands with dignity and respect after he was gone. RIP Ray & Jim.
i jumped on this when it first came out and pestered Ray with questions and he was actually kind enough to respond to a fan's mail. A real guy, Ray Manzarek
It's alright, Nite City! Thank you for your company for almost whole my life. Wouldn't wanna live in any other time like this with you, The Doors, Stones, Beatles and all this great music and feelings. See you all later! Greetings from Berlin!
I was a member of this band, just prior to Paul Warren joining. I left, as I had an offer for a project with a music publisher. Loved working with Ray Manzarek, he was a terrific Pianist, smart guy, just this wasn't really happening (management might have been a little too closely involved in the music, etc.). My name was left off "Midnight Queen," as a going away present (I'll assume that was managements choice). Oh well!
I was 7 years old when my parents bought this album and was immediately influenced by it. I still listen to it today. One of the most underrated rock albums of all time. I did not care for Golden Days Diamond nights when I heard it on Napster back in 2000 but Nite City 1977 will always be a classic. Too many rock fans missed the boat on this.
I saw them live in NY in the 70's. Just awesome! Jim Morrison is a tough act to follow, but Noah was his own man and did a great job. He didn't try to be "Jim" he was just Noah and did a great job of it. Of course Ray was and is awesome! I saw him in NY and CA too, when he was doing the "The Whole Thing Started With Rock and Roll" and the "Golden Scarab."
actually i looked this up, cause i was looking through these old rolling stone magazines i was selling at the flea market today, and saw an article about this band....ray is cool....
@LaGuNalOvERs42 - Hi, I'm the guitarist from Nite City. I'd love to hear from your friends Dad. I believe his real name is Phil Crane, but at the time he was calling himself Noah James.
Hello Paul, We (Isaiah) opened for Nite City in Tucson at Choo Choo's Friday and Sat. nights, then you and Jimmy came and jammed with us Sunday night, Ray was there, you 3 were the coolest in the band, we had a great time, you guys RAWKED! Tripp
I love this album but have never heard the second one. I always felt the singer was doing a watered-down version of Morrison but the band still had a good individual sound.
@PaulWarrenProject:I played with Noah James in San Francisco before moving to L.A.When I played with him,after rehearsing for a year,we played three gigs where Noah got stage fright and freaked out worse than anybody could imagine.His real name is Don Crane.He also appeared on The People's Court.
Heyy Funky, somebody... I've been trying to find the two Nite City's albums with no luck... its a extremely rare material, and excellent! Can somebody make a torrent or something? we could trade
Hey man, I've been out of the country for a while, I just came back and downloaded soulseek, but I cant find the Nite City's Albums.... can you connect tomorrow or something like that? I'd really apreciate it.
@KOSMICKEN09 Haha thats funny, Ray is a really cool guy, just out of curiosity, that flea marke doesn't have a Vox or Gibson Organ or Rhodes Piano for sale in it does it?
I find it somewhat funny that The Doors never had successful careers after Morrison, I mean yeah they made more records, but none of them were really big hits... I'm surprised.
Hey, guys get THIS. John Densmore wrote in his book, that after The Doors disbanded "Ray then started some Doors-copy band, called Nite City" What crap eh?
Jim would be proud of you Ray how you humbly and gracefully handled the Band and working with Other Bands with dignity and respect after he was gone. RIP Ray & Jim.
What an interesting band, besides Ray Manzarek of The Doors, we’ve also got Nigel Harrison of Blondie on the bass.
I had this LP back in the day. Ray did a whole lot of neat stuff in LA for years after The Doors. this is good to hear again.
I’ve been a Doors/Ray fan since 1980 I have albums of the Doors without Jim and albums Ray was involved in never heard this, this is fkn really cool!

Just two albums but i enjoy them a lot two musicals gems

I have this album from back when it was released and I thought it was a fabulous album. Could not understand how it didn't really go anywhere.
They were victims of the corporate world. Record companies were looking for " hits" to make lots of cash. They didn't care about art.
ci sono brani musicali che non si possono dimenticare, Nite City è uno di questi..
I grew up with this music, my mom friends with Ray!

one of the greatest bands
thank for that! Ed Perry - did we meet in New York a long time ago?
shocked this hasn't been reissued on cd yet.. needs to be!

i remember Paul doing "COME TOGETHER"high school 1968
I bought this album when it first came out. It wasn't the Doors, but given a few listens, I got hooked. Nice effort by Ray Manzarek and friends.
I saw them live in NY in the 70's. Just awesome! Jim Morrison is a tough act to follow, but Noah was his own man and did a great job.

Right On !!!
sounds great i love it
actually i looked this up, cause i was looking through these old rolling stone magazines i was selling at the flea market today, and saw an article about this band....ray is cool....
very interesting song. Great tune
@LaGuNalOvERs42 - Hi, I'm the guitarist from Nite City. I'd love to hear from your friends Dad. I believe his real name is Phil Crane, but at the time he was calling himself Noah James.
Paul:
Can you tell us anything about working on this project?
I think the first album was underrated.
This track pulsates and grows on you.
Hello Paul, We (Isaiah) opened for Nite City in Tucson at Choo Choo's Friday and Sat. nights, then you and Jimmy came and jammed with us Sunday night, Ray was there, you 3 were the coolest in the band, we had a great time, you guys RAWKED! Tripp
I had no idea that he formed this band. I like this song. To bad they did not gain a following.
I love this album but have never heard the second one. I always felt the singer was doing a watered-down version of Morrison but the band still had a good individual sound.
i wish this song is on cyberpunk 2077
I was looking for this comment, hahaha
@@codylindenstein2771 i had wishful thinking. it would've been great driving to this.
hey paul-i got this on lp and totally dig it!
@PaulWarrenProject:I played with Noah James in San Francisco before moving to L.A.When I played with him,after rehearsing for a year,we played three gigs where Noah got stage fright and freaked out worse than anybody could imagine.His real name is Don Crane.He also appeared on The People's Court.
Thus us the best.
Curiosity brought me here after I heard Jello Biafra say that the Ramones opened for this band in Denver.
This is so underrated.
Heyy Funky, somebody... I've been trying to find the two Nite City's albums with no luck... its a extremely rare material, and excellent! Can somebody make a torrent or something? we could trade
OUT ALL NIGHT- NIGHT CITY
ray did produce a bunch of really good lp's by the band X though...
R.I.P. Ray......
@KOSMICKEN09 Yeah, but I meant as like playing Music, not producing.
Hey man, I've been out of the country for a while, I just came back and downloaded soulseek, but I cant find the Nite City's Albums.... can you connect tomorrow or something like that? I'd really apreciate it.

dammit I did it years ago but I was menaced to get a closed account by uploading Doors music. I'll do it in some days, I'll advise you !
When the music is over, turn out the Nite.
Hey, guys get THIS. John Densmore wrote in his book, that after The Doors disbanded "Ray then started some Doors-copy band, called Nite City" What crap eh?
I read that book. I refer to him as "John More-Dense" now.
