Minus " Michael McDonald the voice and leader of " The Doobie Brothers " who for many, many years is no longer with them. There are plenty of groups around touting themselves as ….. but the main person(s) are missing. Sad.. |

I believe these are the original members. McDonald joined them when lead singer Tom Johnston (the one with the bushy mustache) took ill. He was so popular that they kept him on, and he moved them to more main stream rock and soul. I've seen them several times, with and without McDonald, and they were always great. McDonald has done a lot of solo and studio work, and has been on Steely Dan albums. Saw him at the Melody Tent in Hyannis years ago, and have always been a fan

"Steely Dan"
One of the most talented R&B groups, ever. Their musicality is simply stunning. And, their syncopated beat was an inspiration to many of us drummer. https://thevillagerockers.com/steely-dan/

Also think Steely Dan was great, but sadly Walter Becker died, so we'll never have anything new. Probably some of the strangest lyrics ever (or at least I couldn't figure some of them out), yet somehow how it worked, and they had some of rock's finest songs

Without his presence and voice they are just another group. Be honest. Just as I mentioned many groups try to carry on without the Main Lead...and fail I can mention many groups why bother. Boring |

Before Michael McDonald joined in 1976 they had the hits with Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons on vocals including Jesus is Just Alright, Listen to the Music, Long Train Runnin', China Grove, Rockin Down the Highway, South City Midnight Lady, Black Water, Another Park Another Sunday, Without You, Take me in your Arms and I Cheat the Hangman. I bought the following albums when they were new, I don't own any that had Michael McDonald as a band member, I no longer considered them Doobie Bros. Michael McDonald as a solo act, I would probably go see him, but as part of the Doobie Bros, he turned them into a pop machine. Last edited by John_W; 05-19-2020 at 08:40 AM. |

We just can't appreciate anything for it's own value, can we? EVERYTHING must be cause for controversy?

So we saw Steely Dan in Cleveland sometime in the 70s ......maybe 12th row center. In front of us was an older couple way out of their age group. I spoke to the couple after the concert and told them I really liked the concert and it was good to see people “their age” like them also. She replied.........”I should say we like them ......Donald Fagen is my son”!!

Best song
Reeling in the Years and another favorite, with "dueling" guitars Hotel Caifornia but then, I admit to being a huge Joe Walsh fan.

Hey, thanx for posting this link! Black Water happened to be my favorite all time Doobie Brothers song. This was awesome and the video is adorable.
