The real Michael McDonald & the Doobie Brothers (with Pat Simmons) played here in NH last night.

Tickets started at $35. Why on earth would anyone bother to go listen to a bunch of amateurs, pretending they were the real thing?

Because Michael McDonald & Th Doobie Bros (with Pat Simmons) were in NH, and not in The Villages?

And it they're getting paid on a regular basis, they're not amateurs...

I enjoyed the doobies in 70s and some with Michael Mc. In the 2020s not so much at all. IMO

Motown 2003, one of my favorite albums.

Because it was free? Because it was a 15 min golf cart ride away? Because it was better than staying home? chilout

I like to experience live cover bands, especially when they can imitate the real thing. Saw an AC-DC cover 10 years ago in Vegas. The lead singer looked a little like Bon Scott; lanky white dude, dark shoulder length frizzy hair, wore the sleeveless jeans jacket, and he also sounded close enough to him. They did the whole Back in Black Album using a Bon Scott sound-alike voice. Even though I like Brian Johnson a lot, was very very cool. The lead guitar didn't look like Angus, but he played close enough for me.

So yeah, it was entertaining for free and that's what I signed up for.

one person's opinion.

Mine is that many of the tribute bands are pretty darn good.
A few are not, but so it goes. -peace-
