Available Now: mercury-studios.lnk.to/Doobie...
Recorded at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California in 1982, this concert was the last date on "Farewell Tour". It was an emotional night and would be the last gig for 5 years. The set contained all their best loved hits and they were joined by founder member Tom Johnston for the last two tracks, with former members John Hartman (also from the original line-up), Tiran Porter and Michael Hossack coming on stage for the celebratory finale of "Listen To The Music". The band are in fantastic form and rise to the occasion magnificently, they can rarely have delivered a better performance throughout their distinguished career. An album called "Farewell Tour" was released by Warners in 1983 but this featured tracks recorded at several different concerts across the tour. This is the first time the audio of their actual final concert has been available.

And sombody argued with me that Rap is music.!!!THIS IS MUSIC.

[@billjohnson6300]

Cornelius Bumpas, Michael MacDonald, the late but great conga player, the late Keith Knutson, Pat Simmons playing lead, and on and on. This was a once in a lifetime version of the Doobie Brothers without Tom Johnston that was incredible. I got to see them in Bloomington, MN that same year! Bravo!

[@scallaghan2118]

Sorry but I have always regretted the inclusion of Michael McDonald. I think he ruined their amazingly unique sound. I absolutely adored this band, until.......

[@TheZipeedoo]

@@scallaghan2118 I could not agree more. Nothing against MM as a man or musician, but in the context of the Doobie Brothers, he took a great guitar-based rhythm 'n blues band and transformed it into a mediocre keyboard-based pop band. Consider the following data points: Taking It to the Street; Minute by Minute; What a Fool Believes. The line created by those points, that's the road to perdition.

[@brucemacmillan7128]

You sure that's Cornelius Bumpus? I know he played sax, but I wasn't aware he played keys and sang lead vocals.

[@brucemacmillan7128]

@@TheZipeedoo Takin' It To The Streets and What A Fool Believes are both good tunes. Certainly not the original Doobie's sound, but adding Michael MacDonald extended the life of the band by several years. Having said that, I do prefer the original Doobie's.

[@billjohnson6300]

@@brucemacmillan7128 Just a guess. Same guy that played in Bloomington. 40 years ago. It seems like that's how they announced him. I think the conga player was Bobbie LaKind. Although they were not the raw, original Doobie Brothers, they still had a really great sound.

[@francispower1418]

If, for educational purposes, you were looking for some footage of a really tight, perfectly balanced live unit that lives so much in each other’s pocket it sounds almost unworldly, its so perfect… This might just be it. That’s pretty stunning even by their standards.

I saw The Doobie Brothers in Dublin a few years back when they were playing support to Steely Dan. That was the best bang for buck rock gig i have ever been. All that was missing was Micheal McDonald for the vocal moments, he could have stayed on the stage for both bands!

Amazing solo by John McFee at the end - he never got enough credit for the Doobies' sound.

[@BOBANDVEG]

Anybody else notice the odd tone when MM joined the band. Just didn't care for it . They had a couple of albums in 90s that were ok

[@jammer70s]

I actually liked this much more than I expected. I was a big fan of early Doobies with Tom Johnston, came to actually hate them after Mc Donald came in. Never a fan of his voice, and the style of songs he wrote. This lineup does a really decent version of this song, Bumpas sounds good singing it. Glad it wasn't Mc D!

[@timringgenberg2844]

I was an early fan of the band. I didn't know what to expect with McD but his song Takin it to the Streets was one that got me to like him. Minute b y Minute and What a Fool Believes were a big hits but they didn't do it for me. Now I can appreciate his contribution to the band and he might have kept them together when Tom was sick. They certainly sold a ton of albums with Mike.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

I listened to radio more in the McDonald era, but definitely love the classic lineup much more.

[@TempoDrift1480]

Damn, I never realized it was a black dude sang this. Very very cool!!!

Not originally tho. It was Tom Johnston on the Captain And Me album. Cornelius does a great job with it here.

Without Tom Johnston, well, it's just the Doobies w/o Tom. Bumpas is great, but it just ain't the same for me. I've seen them 5 times in 50 years.

[@antonioeustaquioamaral3421]

...and the great Michael McDonald.

[@AudioFileZ]

Bumpus ain't no Johnston, but he does have loads of talent and spirit. I like his vocals pretty good, but I don't like the McDonals electric piano and I think just a "no prisoners" dual drum solo would be preferred to the congo stuff (leave that to Carlos). One of my all-time favorite acts and this version was a good bridge to keeping it all going forward.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Bumpus sounds damn good here! Not TJ of course but he held his own. And while Willie Weeks is a great bass player, this song just doesn't groove the same without Tiran Porter.
