This is music from my freshman high school year

Toulouse Street

The Doobie Brothers

Michael McDonald

South City Midnight Lady


Back when Acoustic guitairs were cool...

Big DB fan but hated the McDonald version. Saw them this summer opening for Boston (who was amazing). Doobies still rockin' and having a good time playing hits from 40 years ago.

Late summer '72 saw them in Dallas opening for T-Rex. They played a great one hour set before T-Rex took the stage. In between songs all you could here was "Doobie Brothers, Doobie Brothers". Four songs into their playlist T-Rex frontman got pissed and the band left the stage. DB came back out and played another hour or so. McDonald and his "taking it to the street" BS sucks nuts.

Ha! I have this album on vinyl somewhere, probably in a box in a closet somewhere.

MM was what kept the band relevant.

Well played!

I was at that show. The only other time I saw a headline act booed off the stage was when UFO opened for Cheap Trick at Randy's Rodeo. Cheap Trick did their stuff, throwing guitar picks into the crowd. Crowd got restless, started yelling for Michale Schenker. UFO came back out and played Lights Out London for half an hour, until the cops came in and shut it down.

Listen to the Music
All the time

yeah, well played.

Still no Michael McDonald

Black Water

When the sun comes up around a sleepy little town, down around San Antone

The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords

The people don't seem to care

Michael McDonald

You're dead to me

I dont know his history. I know he did a commercial years ago . I bought one album and thought he had an outstanding voice. This was back in... 2003?

Taking it to the streets sucks. He was a late addition to the band, and because of his ego, he broke the band.

The original band was exactly that...a band. No egos, could play the sh*t out of music. After Michael McMumbles, it was all downhill. They sold out, made money, got radio airplay.

Much like Metallica after the S&M album for example.

First saw the Doobies in 73 (I think. That was a hazy period) in Salt Lake City They were the opening act for Three Dog Night. We thought they were introduced as the B00bie Brothers as nobody had ever heard of them. A week later Listen To The Music hit the airwaves.

Three Dog Night. Bonus points if you know how that band chose their name.

Damn, we're old, aren't we?

If I remember correctly if it was a cold night two dogs would cuddle up on the bed at your feet. If it was a REALLY cold night it was Three Dog Night.

And yes, we are.old, but such great times.
