The Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music (Live)

For more info -
www.eagle-rock.....
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.
On CD format, four additional tracks from the concert have also been reinstated as bonus tracks. On the DVD format, the Bonus Features offer five tracks from the concert that were cut from the original 1982 film: "Little Darling (I Need You)", "One Step Closer", "Dependin' On You", "Real Love" and "No Stoppin' Us Now" plus interviews with the band members and manager.

"Live At The Greek Theatre 1982" is, simply, classic Doobie Brothers at the peak of their powers -with guest appearances by several former members. Not to be missed!

The whole band is still as great as ever - but I have to say, in particular Tom Johnston's voice is still as crisp as it was in the 70's. Incredible.

[@stevelibrandi]

I have recordings from the seventies. He’s had several throat surgeries. His voice has aged ok. But not the same as the seventies not even close 😂

[@runbmc35]

Tom Johnston had such a soulful voice

This is WITHOUT a doubt, 100%, the OFFICIAL Doobie Brothers Anthem song. BEAUTIFUL timeless classic that I NEVER get tired of. Thank you Mr. Tom Johnston for writing this masterpiece of a tune 😉

Tom Johnston is really amazing. His voice really has never changed like other old groups still out there.

My brother no truer words were ever written or said. I'm almost 63 and remember the first time I heard this cut. Music is magic isn't it? It takes you and I back to places and times that were special. As the boys said Listen to the Music. Peace to you and yours.

I’ll be 21 here in January, and I️ love music like this. Wished we had more music like this today. Also wish I️ could travel back in time to enjoy this music, in it’s prime. Although, this will never be out of it’s prime!

[@Seventizz]

Are we sure this is 1982? Because that's some stellar video quality considering and the members look a lot older than the 10 yeas it would've been since this song released.

[@ND_Irish_Forever]

Definitely not 1982. Probably sometime after 2005 at least, maybe more likely after 2010. Not the Greek Theater either. Still...sounds good!

The fact the Doobies was not in the HOF 20+ years ago proves that its a corrupt, political POS. I'd love it if they told them to go pound sand up their ass.

[@mikeamos6720]

This concert is NOT from 1982. No Michael McDonald, Cornelius Bumpus, Willie Weeks or Bobby LaKind. They all played in the 1982 Farewell Concert in Berkeley and there was no horn section in 1982. Tom Johnston, Tiran Porter, John Hartman and Michael Hossack all came back to join them for the final song in 1982. This is from the 2004 at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. The band has been through more changes than you can count but this may have been the best line-up ever. Now both drummers and the bass player are gone and the new guys just aren't the same Doobie Brothers to me.

[@lillyj8874]

I noticed some had gone, thanks for the info.

[@mauriceadams9978]

I was thinking the same thing as soon as a I saw Tom playing a PRS guitar, which was not even a company until 1985. Not sure when he started playing that brand but may not have been until the 90's. Couldn't find an exact reference online but no difference, it was not possible in 1982.

Interesting, since this is the Doobie Brothers site, but this recording is NOT from their "Farewell Tour" concert in 1982. This recording is from their "Live from Wolf Trap" DVD, recorded in 2004.

Never a huge fan but Doobie Brothers music was always a part of of your life's soundtrack.....always uplifting .....you never changed the radio during a Doobie tune....

[@backyardboogiewoogie]

Oh to be young and naive. ""The chord structure of it made me think of something positive, so the lyrics that came out of that were based on this utopian idea that if the leaders of the world got together on some grassy hill somewhere and either smoked enough dope or just sat down and just listened to the music and forgot about all this other bullshit, the world would be a much better place. It was very utopian and very unrealistic (laughs). It seemed like a good idea at the time." -Tom Johnston

I swear this is one of the worst produced vids from one of the greatest bands ever. The control room guy must have been HDAD, just couldn't keep his fingers off the cam switches! Excellent job on the audio mixing, however.

Doobie's always great, three guitars and singers, always two drummers on stage, big tuned band, since I saw them in 1980 with Michael Mc Donald, but this version is way better.

[@mikeamos6720]

The comments about this concert are connected to the wrong video/concert. This concert was not in 1982 at the Greek Theater. In that concert, Tom Johnston was only around for the last couple of songs and the band lineup was markedly different. I am pretty sure that this video is at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in 2004.

[@Realmen4Christ]

[@v.e.7236]

These guys never fail to impress. Always a tight rhythm section and they always give you a little guitar lickin' in there for good measure. I've been lucky to have seen these guys 5 or 6 times and every concert was great. Edit: Must be 105 people who are still upset they changed the name from the original Pud from there roots.
