Doobie Brothers (Official Thread)

[Big Ears]

My favourite Doobies track:

I was so glad that the Doobies came back as the "original" band not Doobies 2.0 with Michael McDonald
We saw them open for the Allman Brothers.
Still sounding great. Tom Johnston can still hit the notes and Pat Simmons playing is great.
They joined the Allman Brothers for Southbound later.

March 2018 is the 45th birthday of Captain and Me

Easily my favorite song from that album would be Long Train Running:

A few years ago, I posted a video of a kid doing a really funky slap-bass version of the song, jammin' like a champ. Give it a listen. He's not playing the official song in the background, but you don't need it to appreciate his rendition of the bass line:

I guess I shouldn't have said "easily" my favorite. China Grove is a VERY close second, but those two songs are easily my two faves.

This was done back in 2018, but Playing For Change did Listen To The Music (my favorite Doobie track)

Looks like 2024 will bring us a new Doobie Brothers album, from the Johnston/Simmons/McFee/McDonald lineup.

It's being touted as their first in 44 years, but it's been 46-48 years since Johnston & McDonald appeared on the same studio album, and even then Johnston's involvement was minimal due to health issues.

@Ar-Pharazon
Can’t wait for a singles release. It will be cool to see how these guys sound together after all these years.
