Dorman, 70, was found dead in his car last Friday of natural causes, and may have been en route to a doctor's appointment, according to the Orange County Coroner's Department. Dorman joined the band in 1967, part of the lineup that created the band's signature opus, which was originally ignored by most AM rock stations at the time. Of course once it caught on in 1968, its stay on the Billboard charts was longer that the song itself--a whopping 81 weeks. In the decades since, the band has held on to its presence in the pantheon of still-touring classic rock bands. This year, the band--including Dorman--completed a tour of Europe in February and March.
Hennessy's, a known hangout for the members of the band is sure to be full of stories and speeches about Dorman, not to mention all the stoner rock riffage you can handle. The tribute concert starts a 9 p.m.
