I am sooo looking forward to this one! |

| Hope you have a great time tonight. The Doobie Brothers were here last year (I think it was last year) and they got a terrific review.

Location: NW of Philadelphia | Great show! They sounded great for a group of 50 and overs. They played most of their classic hits, 2 from their upcoming album, and blues. The concert was 1.5 hours long.
The real surprize was the opener... Green Onion. They were very good. |

John Cowan on bass. Skylark is ill.
The acoustics/resonators that Simmons and Mcfee played were very odd looking. Tom played a Martin D-35 I think. Otherwise on eletcrics:
Mcfee - Anderson Strat
Johnston - PRS
Simmons - Fender Strat
Cowan - Fender bass |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Cowan is a great bass player and probably the best singer of the bunch there.
I get a little tired of Johnston's voice alone after a while.
Sounds like a good show. |

Location: Wichita, KS | I saw them in Wheeling, WV in 1979 give or take a year. Jeff Baxter was still with them at the time as was M.M. They were amazing then.
Saw them again in here in Wichita a few years ago. Pretty much the current lineup, IIRC. They are still great. Auriemma, did they bring their kids out on stage for the final number? |

Location: NW of Philadelphia | No kids. Green Onion did join them on stage for the closing number... "Listen to the Music".
Beal, Pat Simmons sang about 1/2 the songs, Cowan sang "Taking It to the Streets", thankfully sounding nothing like M.M. Tom Johnston sang the rest. And Tom rarely sang alone.
Their new studio album/CD (un-named currently) will be out soon. Its been 10 years since "Sibling Rivalry" was released. |
