Doobie Brothers

I enjoyed the show. It was what I expected, having seen them several times. It is an emotional connection for me. It . will always be my travelling music. I was married on Valentines Day of 1973, and we drove from Vsncouver down USA 101. We had an 8 track at the time, and it was part of our driving music. It makes me very noststalgic for a happy,and innocent time. Though I lost my husbsnd it was the music of that time. We selected the Doobies, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, America, C.S N.Y. ,Steve Miller Band, Yes, E.LO. E L.P. Bob Seeger, as the core of our "tunes" We also had select Jazz tapes as my husband was a jazz musician. Those tunes always return me to a time of experiencing some of the happiest times of my life. It was a time for discovery, adventure, and being in a state of bliss. I had never travelled past Seattle, and the Oregon coast was all and more than what I had hoped for. I remember running down the beach, and the wind made my sweater into a following cape. The waves broke on the beach, and this roiled up a seafoam. I recall pictures of me standing on a rock with this foam surrounding me, and it looked like snow. When we left Vancouver there had been s a late snow on the ground, and this appeared ss dnow in the photos we had taken. (We had to get films developed in those days). It was an unexpected discovery when we eagerly looked over our photos, taken with a Kodak camera I got when I was 12. It worked very well, and I quite miss it. The best part of our trip for me was the feeling of freedom, and whole and really loved for the first time in my life, and accepted for who I was. The trip was so powerful for me, and us, as best friends and partners. It was a discovery of landscapes, beauty of nature, a security found in each other, and a liberation on many levels, and a new chapter in life, which, I have never forgotten. Those glorious songs trigger a palpable response, that has transcended time for me. It was a ticket to a show and a special time in my life. I had those photos taken ftom me, "but the song remains the same " to me, and the music holds my memories.

Absolutely awesome concert! They are tighter than ever and still play very energetically. They obviously enjoy the music very much, This is not a job... it's a joy! I'm a musician and there are times in your career that you just don't want to play another note. You don't even want to listen to music. Although the road can make you weary, the days of agony are over for the Doobs. They do it because they love it. They have big hearts. It's charity, in fact, that kept them together. May they continue to play the music that will always sell out any venue they care to play. Hot dogs, apple pie, baseball and of course, The Doobie Brothers! The Doobies have always been environmentally conscientious and patriotic. The concert was preceded by a Pledge of Allegiance, and a ceremony honoring our men and women in uniform. This included a moment of silence for all those Missing In Action or Prisoners of War, and the singing of The National Anthem. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. The musicians are still awesome and played some great music. I would go see them again anytime.

I have loved the Doobie Brothers since the 70s & they didn't disappoint in 2017!! They still look & sound as wonderful (if not better)than they did back in the day! Touring with Chicago, this concert was one of the best I have seen so far this year! The only downer for me was the crowd at the Austin 360 Amphitheater. Yes, we are all older than we were back in the 70s & 80s, but show the artist, that is performing for you, that you STILL LOVE their music! They want to see people enjoying, dancing, singing their songs. You SIT @ a symphony, NOT A ROCK N ROLL CONCERT!!!! Austin, TX is suppose to be the music capital of the world, but Saturday night I felt like I was sitting at an old folks home! Get up & enjoy the music, you never know if this will be the last time they tour & perform! If you have the opportunity to jam with The Doobie Brothers & Chicago ~ GO!!! You WILL NOT be disappointed!! FANTASTIC SHOW!!

Bluesfest Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers
The Doobie Brothers were up first. With their mix of southern rock, country, folk, R&B and soul, the current lineup rotated from three guitars and bass, to acoustic guitars, harmonica, electric violin, along with the excellent sax playing of Marc Russo, keyboards of Little Feet’s Bill Payne complementing the vocal harmonies of Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston and John Mcfee that defines The Doobie Brothers music. All the classics were played. Starting with Jesus is Just Alright, Rockin’ Down the Highway, Take Me in Your Arms, Taking to the Streets, Black Water, Long Train Runnin’, China Grove and my personal favourite, Clear as the Driven Snow and finishing with Listen to The Music. By the end of the set, everyone was on there feet and dancing…Brilliant evening

When we saw Don Felder being advertised with the Doobies I misunderstood and thought he was playing in their band. Well he turned out to be the jewel of the show, not only for the quality of his work,but the audio level that he worked at. You could hear the words and the distinction in the solos. No one drowned out the other. The Doobies were garbled and played way too loud for this venue.We left early with our ears ringing. Very disappointed.The venue Austin City Limits at Moody Theatre was good with excellent visibility and good acoustics. We will go back to this venue as we had cheaper seats in the balcony, but could see and hear well.I would advise against the pricey seats in the orchestra as many fans stood up during the performance. Who wants to pay big and then be inconvenienced?

Doobie Brothers is one of my favourite all time
Bands and I have come to the conclusion that I like the music produced when Michael McDonald was part of the band. I am not a fan of the highway rock and roll, folk or country and western style music
playef in Sydney on 13 April 2017. It is what it is
- their
Choice of
Playlist. What made the experience almost intolerable was that the sound produced was awful. Either the engineer fell asleep on the controls or was hearing impaired. Wasn't the venue as Santana who followed had great sound.

Honestly one of the best nights of my life, never thought I'd ever get to see Doobie Brothers live on stage,still seems like a dream. The night was amazing, the band was electrifying, the lights and musical performance were mesmerising, the energy and charisma of the guy's had us the audience hooked from the very first note. I've always had their CD's, but to hear them singing and watch their performance on stage is truly exceptional, if they ever come back to Glasgow I would love to see them again, OUTSTANDING, X

The Doobie Brothers were in Seattle last Saturday for the Northwest Classic concert series. They opened up for the Eagles, but the Doobie's should have head lined the show. Their vocals and their musicianship were in fine form. This is the best the band has sounded in a few years.

Safeco Stadium held all 33,000+ of us safe and in a fun environment. No security issues... very peaceful crowd.

This was my 45th Doobie Brothers Concert... and it was one of their best shows! The boys know how to 'kick it'.

The band was truly excellent. The vocals were as great as they were when they started out. They have such distinctive and cool voices! The guitar playing was top notch and the sax player was excellent. Overall they were truly great. The Doovies opened for Steely Dan and the two acts together were awesome. This was a concert not to miss. I recommend this show to anyone at any age. In fact, I recommend it to a younger crowd to get a true education on two great long standing rock groups.

I have listened to the Doobie Brothers since a was in my teens. My dad was a gigantic fan and I guess it rubbed off on me also! My Dad passed on in 2007 and I inherited his automobile. While driving along one day on my commute to work, I looked in his CD compartment and found 3 Doobie Brothers CD'S! Now, whenever I drive Dad's car a part of him is sitting right next to me singing away! That is the closeness a Father & Daughter could ever hope for and it was helped along by the Doobie Brothers!
