I was born in 1969 and grew up listening to the Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald. It was great Music back then and it's just as good today and still relevant.
The Doobie Brothers - thee greatest American rock band ever. And I'd like to give some props to John McFee - never really gets much credit, but he's a musician's musician, so skilled on so many instruments.
I saw Michael in the early 2,000's at an outdoor theater on a beautiful summer evening in Ct. His voice was the same and his now white hair enhanced the blue of his beautiful eyes. It was an unforgettable evening ! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad they all put their differences aside and came together united as a band to celebrate the bands 50 years as an item . Here's to another 50 years of rocking as the Doobies Brothers continue to play and sing as a cohesive unit 😉🎸🎹🎷🥁
There was no problem with the band members Michael Mcdonald went to a different demention musically, Tom Johnson come back and took it where he left off, the all play together now Michael two will be great to see that, even if I have to go to America to see the doobie brothers I live in Ireland 🇮🇪
What differences? I thought the Doobie Brothers were a great band and I was never a Doobie Brothers fan or a fan of the Doobie Brothers but I love ❤️😘 the song "Taking it to the streets." Michael McDonald is 1 of the best voices of our time him and Kenny Loggins.
What an incredible instrumental jam, before the original song kicks in at 4:45. First saw them play this one in April 1977 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, but first saw Michael McDonald with Steely Dan at Toledo University in April 1974. His voice was a revelation that night. Been a fan ever since.
@@kathyjones274 Do you recall the year and location? Their 1973 tour dates didn't include Michael McDonald or 2nd drummer Jeff Porcaro. After July 1974 they stopped touring until August of 1993, when only Becker and Fagen were left from the original band.
@@Bluman2 No internet back then, so I had no idea that Steely Dan's 1974 touring band included Michael McDonald, as well as a 2nd drummer, Jeff Porcaro. Crazy thing was that my wife and I had seen Porcaro in March of 1972 (when he was still just 17 years old), drumming for Sonny & Cher at a concert in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
These guys were a staples back in the late 70's early 80's @ alpine valley in Wisconsin. They would 2-3 nights, we went every night sure it cost some brain cells, but well worth it. Just saw them here in Chicago last year , still sounding great, congrats on going for 50 years guys
Super camera work here. Fine sound and thanks for shiaring. Best part is no audience vocals to screw up a video ! Still contemplating seeing them Monday at Bluesfest in Byron Bay. "Very soon time will tell......,Taking it to the Streets!".
Just saw 'em last night night in Madison, WI...Marc and Michael did "Amazing Grace", then morphed right into "Still crazy after all these years"...simply an amazing performance!
Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, Marshall Tucker Band, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Leonard Skinner............those were the days! - Tom Johnson, Long Train Running!
Still so so good. I love these guys so much. note: Assuming this was April 4th 2023 (They list day/month/year in Australia?) Since today is May 4th and this was posted 4 weeks ago.
What a fine performance. I met Michael recently in upstate New York where he lives. We shared an early morning breakfast in a diner and I was impressed by his appetite. He has a particular fondness for hash browns. We spoke as he ate and he told me of his plans to dye his hair. Watch this space!
Too bad the audio is just a cell phone recording and not patched in to the sound system. A lot brilliant musicianship got lost in the echo-ey mush of sound.
Nothing?? Oh come on,they were verr good with him,but they were just as good before and after he was there,he made them a bit more pop rock,aka mainstream..they rocked more guitar driven rock without him....what a insult to say they were nothing
Why even say that? They were rocking it before Michael and they're still rocking it now. Legends...ALL of them. Geez...why even go there when they're all obviously playing well... together.
I disagree. He made them more acceptable to a white middle class audience and, therefore, more commercial, but they created great music before joined. Everything has to evolve, however.
You forgot the first several years which lifted them to the heights they were at when MMc. came and sat in with the band. To say Tom Johnston was nothing takes an empty mind with no experience in the music world. Johnston is the Doobie brother who started the whole show!!
How can you not like this music? Such talent and what’s a Soulful voice ❤

Dude is making that sax SANG!!

I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
@tomdulle1707 lol right!!
One of the GREATEST bands EVER!!!
I saw them last night at hard rock in florida 5/25/23, I danced my ASS off!!! WAs front ro2 fenter
Michael MacDonald is and was the talent in The Doobie Brothers. Still has the voice even today.
Who is the earlier lead...Long Train Runnin singer? I really liked him!
Michael has a great voice. But I prefer Tom Johnston, the voice of the Doobie Brothers!
Agreed! His voice at 71 still sounds AMAZING!!!
No, Tom Johnston is
That voice is golden

We can all learn from people who put differences behind them 💯

They were a part of the soundtrack of my teens♥️♥️♥️♥️

MAC rocks! MiamiU when you were at BG.
Many , many friends from there. Also, two boyfriends that turned into psychos.
Seen steely Dan in the 70s

Would've loved to be around then to see that. I'm going to UT starting this fall.

Seen them at Alpine also in late 70's great show good times
I was there for both nights too...1979...Wisconsin Moon Keep On Shinin'
Awesome. Thank you for posting. They are scheduled to play in my region of the world this summer. Buying tickets immediately!
Pure Excellence - an outstanding, definitely tremendous live - performance. BIG respect to all musicans involved.
Poor Michael's voice. No way something like that can last forever. Good effort.
Still rocks
Peace ✌️ 2023
I was there with one of my best friends and our wives and they were just FANTASTIC. The small, old style theater was the perfect setting.
"Theater" ? I thought Aussie's spelled it theatre.
@@michaelbenson9518 Stupid spell check in browser
Absolutely amazing
Saw them twice in their heyday, best concerts that I have been to.
Super camera work here. Fine sound and thanks for shiaring. Best part is no audience vocals to screw up a video !
Still contemplating seeing them Monday at Bluesfest in Byron Bay. "Very soon time will tell......,Taking it to the Streets!".
That jam alone would be worth the price of admission! I cant wait to see them at the Rose center in Huber Heights in June!
Simple the BEST.

Michael…what a voice❤️
Oh that voice.. one in a million!
I'm going in August in Lincoln, Nebraska
Wheewwwww !!! Purely Amazing Performance.. And MM's Piano/Keyboard Skillz are Just Off The Charts ☺☺😎👊💯💯 And Thanx a Million for The Upload ☺☺😎💯💯💖
Absolutely Fantastic see you in June at Wheatland Michael
Awesome❤
Fantastic
Love this!! Thank you for posting ⚘❤⚘
Mind blew ing !can't find it, help! Karita.
Amazing introduction 🎵🙌🧡
Great music is timeless.
Ok so only the Doobs can incorporate gospel into (imo) their greatest hit EVER!
Great.... Amazing
It´s good to know one of the greatest American rock band comes together, but anyway they are fantastic musicians and that´s what i counts
Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, Marshall Tucker Band, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Leonard Skinner............those were the days! - Tom Johnson, Long Train Running!
Saw them in 2022 in Mountain View CA!!!
The most underrated Rick band ever. Ever. Sublime.
Still so so good. I love these guys so much.

Marc Russo is one great sax player. He was the original sax player with The YellowJackets, a true jazzman, Kickin’ butt with Mike McD!
Marc and Michael taking us to church
Supreme !
Worked backstage and partied with them way back
Wow Tom's there! They all look great. To bad they couldn't talk Skunk into it.
What a fine performance. I met Michael recently in upstate New York where he lives. We shared an early morning breakfast in a diner and I was impressed by his appetite. He has a particular fondness for hash browns. We spoke as he ate and he told me of his plans to dye his hair. Watch this space!
Noooo!! Not the beautiful white hair!!
@@FranticSloth you heard it hear first!
Troll
Troll
Where in upstate NY? I thought he lived in the south?
F'k yeah!
The jam at the beginning is "Amazing Grace" .
MMcD is a huge gospel fan.
I’m pretty sure I also heard “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”
John Edwards, Thanks for confirming as Amazing Grace is my All Time Favorite! Then, these guys!
Essa vós me mata ❤
The sax man understood the assignment
Are you slash TH-cam awake to THIS?!!?!……Good Lord I hope so……
メンバーチェンジが理由かもしれませんが、ドゥービーは過去の曲がどんどん進化していくことが素晴らしい。イーグルスはライブでは冒険しないで比較的レコードに忠実に演奏します。
Where's Ree-Run bootlegging the show?????
He learned the error of his ways, and now spends his days listening to the juke box at the soda shop
LOL
Lol😂😂
@SteveHill0528 Correct
With that big ol tape recorder.. lol
Michael McDonald tearing it up!!!
Mike n nem having church!
Old farts still got it.
KILLER !!!!
You know this man has been to a Baptist church.
Where is the original bass player?
Oh, we went to church first!
Hope Tom is doing better
Too bad the audio is just a cell phone recording and not patched in to the sound system. A lot brilliant musicianship got lost in the echo-ey mush of sound.
They were more Rock under Tom, didn’t listen to them when he left!
Ha! a bunch of old men in the audience shaking their booties 😂
You’ll be one too Sonny
The Doobie Brothers without Michal Mcdonal are NOTHING!!!!!
For sure , he is amazing luv him😊

Michael McDonald: The man who ruined the Doobie Brothers.
WTH?
Get over it!
older michael mcdonald is a much better musician than younger michael mcdonald .. and younger michael mcdonald was a damn good musician ....
Probably get another 10 years out of Michael, if he would take care of his weight.
Almost as good as Justin timberlake.
Lol
Not the greatest, don’t kid yourself, kid..🤔
Michael McDonald unrecognisable and vocally off par but... he is a pensioner.
MM might be comin back too!
Michael McDonald isn't much these days it would be a wise decision to get back with the Dobbie Brothers
Bob, you are delusional and ill informed to boot.
yeah? whats do you call this video?
Psssshhhhht! He gave two magnificent online shows solo over the past two years on Mandolin. New material and a recent new album. 😂
You don't see Tom, John, and Pat?
He’s been touring with them on their protracted 50th anniversary celebration for three years straight now.
McDonald makes life real so many. ♥️♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
