    I was a skinny 17 year old black girl in the summer of 1980. I had just graduated from high school and some friends took me to see the Doobies at Pine Knob in Michigan. Easily one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. As a skinny 17 year old black girl and 44 years later I still LOVE THE DOOBIE BROTHERS❤

    @Wareaglegreen Рік тому +27

    It starts out slow, like an old-time gospel tune....as though these guys, all in their '70s, need time to warm up, flexing their fingers on the keyboards, guitars and saxaphone. Just when you're about to move on to something more familiar, the song breaks wide open and you can feel your soul being lifted up by that opening keyboard riff that you've heard all of your life, only now you FEEL it and you can't help but say "YEAH!". That's the power of a great song, great musicians and one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Age is nothing but a number when you've got soul.

      The point wasn’t whether they are all playing live at the same time (and it’s not true that none of them is playing their instruments), it’s that they are playing instruments and not synthesizers. Clearly McDonald is playing the piano, for one. And the guitar cords come and go. They are green screened so it’s possible the cords are wiped for some.

    • @PHDWhom
      @PHDWhom 3 роки тому +5

      Yeah, i think that new purpose is due to the rise of so much dissension, drama, pain and hatred just floating around free seemingly everywhere. I think rather than all of that, they would rather everyone be dancing, singing, smoking some grass, and creating as much love as we can. And it isn’t about that ineffective hippie attitude, but rather one of simplicity over chaos, of all of us just stopping to consider that other people are living around us, and that they all want the same things we want. To be happy, free, to be loved, and to do whatever our work calls us to do.

We are mightily blessed, people. They are still jamming together after all these years, during a quarantine no less, looking healthy, sounding phenomenal. Theres a reason The Doobies are considered a Super Group, at least in my mind 💜🎶💜🎹💜

    I absolutely LOVE the fact that Doobies ARE Tom, Patrick, Michael, the Johns, Marc and everyone else...there is no more debate on who are "the real Doobie Brothers"....THIS is the Doobs, plain and simple. Bring it, man...this is American music...no hole barred. When historians and anthropologists dig up our civilization in 1000 years, they will declare the Doobie Brothers to be the harbinger of our culture.

    Nice, guys.
    I'm sure you don't remember but in the 70s, my band was playing at a Holiday Inn in Wilkes-Barre, PA. You guys were staying there and Pat Simmons, Keith Knudsen and Jeff Baxter came up and sat in. When we asked what you wanted to play, almost in unison you said: ANYTHING BUT THE DOOBIE BROTHERS. LOL!! I guess you were tired of the same songs. It was the thrill of our lives. Pat, you traded a dozen Doobie T-shirts for a Video Camera. We partied afterwards and met you guys in Philly and partied in the hotel bar. I've still got the signed album. Got to party with the Doobies, TWICE. Not bad for some guys from Tennessee.
    You will never know what that kind of kindness does to a little band like we had. Thank you SO much!! And DAMN, we sounded good that night.

I had this album and my neighbor gave me, Joe Cocker, Mad dogs, and Englishmen.. and I was off to the races with music.. the Doobie Brothers were my second concert 1977.. and they’re one of my favorite bands today.. part of my daily rotation of music

    Got an early introduction to Michael McDonald on April 21, 1974, when Steely Dan headlined at the U. of Toledo. He was on Fender Rhodes piano and backing vocals and was so good they made him a featured backing vocalist on their 1975 album "Katy Lied." When Becker & Fagen announced they wouldn't tour to support the album their former guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter recruited McDonald to replace the ailing Tom Johnston in The Doobie Brothers. Saw them live in April 1977 at Bowling Green State U. near the end of their "Takin' It To the Streets" tour. Their performing skills haven't aged a day in the past 45 years.
