Location: Boise, Idaho | That was one of the bands I really liked from the start and would have loved to see live, but they got into pretty big concert productions pretty fast and I couldn't afford to travel to a show like that. I preferred listening without smoke from a few thousand pounds of dry ice. |

Didn't McDonald play on that version, Cliff? I've got it (I'm a huge Carlton fan) but, frankly I'm too lazy to go verify that. Both of them played with the Steely Dan guys (big fan of them as well) - would have to believe they crossed paths from time to time. Watched VH-1 "Classic Albums: Steely Dan, Aja" not long ago. Larry Carlton had acted as a go-between (and coordinator) for the studio musicians, and Becker/Fagan. MM sang backround harmonies with himself, multitrack, on "Peg".
I believe MM at least sang backrounds on the Larry Carlton version of Minute By Minute.
On topic, I love the Doobies! A guitar band whose music I could actually play! For example, Listen To The Music, Long Train Running, China Grove, Eyes of Silver. Anytime I play even a little bit of Listen To The Music, I get a positive reaction.
MM did take it in a different direction, but maybe that's what was needed at the time. The earlier Doobs did tend to play the same song over and over a bit ... :)

May as well have Michael McDonald singing it. |
