The Doobie Bros cook!! The Captain and Me is one of my all time fav's. "Without You" is one of my favorite rockers ever. That whole album rocks.

 

You should have called me up, Hard Tail.....I would have joined you.... :D

We're doing "China Grove" at camp. Fun song. Funky bass. I get a solo! Yaaaay!

 

They're just so....GOOD.

Count me in as a Doobies fan. I dug how they could go from a rock groove to acoustic grooviness without missing a beat. Our acoustic band used to do a killer version of "Black Water". "Toulouse Street" is one of my faves. I learned it a long time ago...and then forgot what I used for a tuning. They had some odd tunings...and it just took some experimentation "Well, you can't play this unless you tune this like so, then..." that kind of thing. For "Black Water" I used DADGBD.

Yeah Neil,it's as fresh and great as it's always was isn't it! What a great combination of musicians in that group. I'm thinking we have to do MORE DOOBIES!
Heck yeah! :thu:

 

In 1996 my father inlaw bought us tickets to see The Doobies open for Lynyrd Skynrd, 7th or 8th row. The Doobies absolutely rocked. Every song was a classic. What's more, Michael McDonald had recently moved to the Nashville area and agreed to do a set with them, so we heard them do What A Fool Believes, etc. with Michael! :thu:

 

The sound level was perfect! Then Skynyrd came on. :rolleyes: It was clear as a bell, but damn it must've been 110dB SPL in our seats from the first chord. :eek: (Praise the lord and pass the earplugs!)

 

The Doobies portion of the show was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
