THE DOOBIE BROTHERS - FULL SHOW@Madison Square Garden New York 8/7/24

[@DonHornsby]

I have just returned from seeing The Doobie Brothers in Ridgefield, WA, tonight (Portland, OR area). It was a killer show - and I am so glad to see this as I relive it! Thanks!

[@chrisaldridge6793]

Yup! Great show, including Robert Cray!

[@KWilP]

I’m going to this concert tonight in Denver. It’s my wife & I anniversary (28 years) gift. For one, this will be my first concert ever. I’m 53 years old. Two, I’m a retired musician (guitarist) and lastly, this is one of my favorite bands. Thank you for sharing, I’m sure the concert was electric live and in person

[@mattstickle2725]

One of those bands you are just so happy they are still around in 2024. Good time music that makes you feel good. That's what music is supposed to do, My friends.

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Well said and agree!

[@unclesalty7778]

Well neighbor I definitely agree! But every generation of music had to follow the agenda and now we are at the final musical agenda, depressing , violent repetitive and disgusting.

[@jimdelora2732]

I was there !!!! GREAT SHOW !!! Steve Winwood was great also !!

[@jakehyland7794]

Same man my first time in the states

[@karenr.sternberg1920]

I was there too & yes, it was great. But Winwood was badly miked & I couldn't understand one word when he spoke, including when he introduced his Band and his daughter Lilly on Vocals.

[@markb7067]

Timeless greatness. Long live the Doobies!

[@kevinkilduff2064]

If American rock and roll for the past 50 years can be encompassed in one band, that band is The Doobies. They've barely lost a step in half a century. Long live this iconic band, still rocking in their 70s!

[@manalishifilms]

Steve Winwood killed it, The Doobies always bring it...!! Fantastic show...thanks for filming and uploading.

[@TwoTickets100]

The Doobies are an orchestral group. They cover so much territory and their leads and harmonies are great. They are a rock and roll band with elements of jazz, bluegrass, folk, blues and R and B. No other band comes close to their diversity. I have seen them more than 100 times through every iteration and they just keep getting better. MM is as gospel as they can get and infuses so much soul into their repertoire. The only thing that could be better is if they change up their set list and integrate more deeper cuts from their amazing collection. Pat Simmons has a trove of songs that deserve showcasing and which have never been played. But all in all-these guys are consummate players. They could play anything and everything and there is a reason they are so loved. It is because they are good souls, family men and humble musical servants to the world. There will never be a group like the Doobies and I hope they just continue chugging along on their love train.

[@teriowen5744]

Well said! Totally agree with you!

[@manalishifilms]

EXCEPT PERHAPS...LITTLE FEAT.

[@Paulieflix]

Great Job Nobody knows the hard work it is to shoot these shows holding up a camera for all that time From one video guy to another thanx

[@kevinwatkins3856]

My fave band ever. Their musical expertise, vocals, harmonies and songwriting abilities have no equal in the rock genre, has been that way for decades.

[@autoadjuster]

I was there, finally got the chance to see the band I grew up with!

[@danielheideman576]

Hey Doobie Brothers You look great and sound amazing

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

Gotta love that bass player! And that drummer, holy cow! Thanks for posting!

[@ronnie5129]

I only have one thing to say here, In 1978 I saw The Stones, The Doobie Bros. and A new Band Van Halen, @ the Superdome in New Orleans, Van Halen opened up, Very Loud and Distorted, The Doobie's were next up, The Sound was Crystal Clear, and Very Enjoyable, The Stones sound went back to being Distorted, They were O.K., But the Doobie's Stole The Show !!

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

I had a long sleeve T-shirt from that show with all three bands on it. It was yellow with band names printed in red. I was fortunate to procure it from Doobies drummer, the late Keith Knudsen. Unfortunately my ex wife confiscated it.

[@briandonnelly4497]

Nobody blew VH off stage.

[@teriowen5744]

Sorry about the teeshirt. At least you have your memories. ​@@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203

[@WinslowLeach1974]

A local Louisiana concert review of the show said that there was 80,173 at the Superdome, and that it was a new indoor concert attendance record.

[@btbamdep]

@@briandonnelly4497haha I couldn’t agree more. The Doobie Brothers crowd wasn’t ready for a band like Van Halen, that’s for sure! Eddie Van Halen blew everyone’s socks off that night lol.

[@RayBecker]

Just as great as ever! Thank you for uploading this.

[@dubyuellem7534]

Thanks for posting all of these shows, it is very much appreciated, my friend. God Bless you for your kindness.

[@lindaameo7392]

Great Band! Also like the songs: Another Park, Another Sunday and South City Midnight Lady. 😊

[@MarilynBuono-nl1br]

An absolutely wonderful show! Steve Winwood and the Doobies still kill it!!

[@MarilynBuono-nl1br]

I had to jump in again to shout out hearfelt praise and deep love for these guys--especially Steve Winwood and my old school crush, Michael McDoald!

[@MarilynBuono-nl1br]

Phooey! Typo-- Michael Mc Donald!

[@Steverino70]

Talk about a trip back in time. Great video!

[@bagsrving5634]

Can’t wait. We are going to see them Monday evening in Mansfield!

[@elizabethhickey12]

We saw them in Gilford NH last night, awesome as ever!

[@CCook-d4y]

Love this, thank you for sharing!

[@BobbyLaneProductions]

seeing Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald together onstage is awesome.. and these guys clearly have their chops very much intact.. love the Doobie Bros.

[@RockstarHealer]

@@nigelbarker4405 exactly, they wrote it together

[@kevinwoodhouse1381]

It was a great show. Thanks for this.

[@CarrieMahoney-wd9nk]

This was an amazing concert

[@jeffbeaver4419]

I saw them live in concert...1974. The favorite song of my girlfriend at the time was Black Water.

[@teleclasster]

Very nice, thanks!

[@stephenhensley5631]

FANTASTIC ! Nothing but great harmonies and musicianship' what more could you ask for, and Steve Winwood to boot ? WOW!!

[@abbymiller4971]

Amazing quality thanks for uploading!

[@lexgutierrez57]

So great!! they are historic band

[@angelabrown9895]

Just witnessed this rocking band at Mohegan Sun yesterday! These guys are amazing, so much talent, 50 years and still going strong. What a blessing. Had a great time. Looking forward to seeing them again 😊

[@raychasse2607]

Loved both bands & you really can’t beat MSG 👍

[@jordanmeadows7944]

Pat Simmons still sounds great

[@terigraham7609]

Thanks for posting this. I was there with my ex boyfriend and we totally loved the show.

[@MieLandell]

[@mjphoto45]

My first concert ever...1974 doobies

[@robertolanzablanch7807]

Gracias brother, los sellos de la época prodigiosa, del 60 al 80 .

[@scottyahney8565]

AMAZING !!!!!

[@rezkinginternational]

Their voices sound great. Tom and Michael sound like they did in the 70's.

[@m1nn1s]

Thank you DOOBIE BROTHERS ...💖 Jesus and the Doobies ,are ... JUST ALRIGHT with ME! ☮️💖🧙🏼‍♂️✝️☯️

[@hollywoodck22]

Michael McDonald takin it to the streets...... give me chills fuckin amazing !

[@yogicolon8298]

The Doobies Rocked MSG!

[@mbass718]

Thanks for posting the Doobie bros set. Steve's set was top notch. I think either band could have headlined. Though I do gotta give Michasl Mcdonald the MVP award last night. The first bunch of Doobie bros tunes were ok but everything picked up once they started playing the old tunes. A few things stood out for me. I never realized how short some of the old songs were til last night. They should have jammed and stretched some of the songs Along with that I'd have to saI Michael Mcdonald imho was the MVP of the night. His voice is so soulful and sounded just like he did many years ago. His keys playing is really great too. I'd say his songs were the best from the Doobies set.. It was Beautiful hearing them live! I think if he wasn't back in The Doobies bros than a good case could be made for Winwood headlining. But he made the best use of the time he had to open the show. The Doobie bros were really good as well. Their setlist took a little to get going but once it did all the tunes were great to hear. Having Michael Mcdonald back in the band really added alot to everything they played. And I'd have to say he still has one of the best voices from that era that sounds exactly how iit did back then. I'd go see him anytime.. One thing that was pretty cheesy was that video screen behind them just playing some old show of their's. Wtf? They would have been better off with no backdrop like Winwood or they could have easily made it more interesting. At the least they would have been better off focusing on shots of them while playing at that moment..

[@MieLandell]

Real good writing about them😊so good band and music and his voice is so good in this time to 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@WinslowLeach1974]

Great show and upload, nice to see the Doobies packing MSG in 2024! Which Doobie you-bie? 😃🎸

[@6Toe]

Not much production for a MSG show, but the songs are timeless❤

[@gregb8565]

I hope they’re paying John Cowan a lot of money. He’s a hell of a singer and bass player one of the best. His new grass revival singing was amazing. It’ll never be the same without tiran but it’s a nice addition, and he is 70 and still singing his ass off Meanwhile more royalties for holland dozier holland ;)

[@michaelcollums4197]

I agree John is so underrated as a singer, The New Grass Revival song Calling Baton Rouge was on another level as was all their music.

[@extrasouth]

John Cowan is the best ever!!

[@rogrog1616]

I thought it was Steve Bannon.

[@michaelpatrickmonahan1873]

Best band ever.

[@geneevans7885]

They were on what’s happening.

[@kellyheath6952]

Hello great video What kind of camera did you use to videotape this??

[@nycsports7234]

LEGENDARY. GREAT SHOW. all the guys did great. MICHAEL MCDONALD voice is in the conversation with the all time greats

[@iancroft1447]

Totally Agreed NYC ! & I’d add Tom Johnston also Killed It as Well as Marc Russo on Sax-just Tremendous & a Great Showman. Heck, as U said They ALL did GREAT Man !!

[@mbass718]

For sure he was tearin it up on the Sax..

[@Stevedrums741]

Michael's voice sounds much better than another show I had seen earlier. maybe he had a cold or a bug? Sounds really strong here.

[@markstanich64]

I saw them in San Diego were awesome saw Santana in San Antonio just as awesome

[@adamcarrey9115]

How about a list of the songs?

[@owengrubbs4050]

Rock on, brothers!

[@loucontino4804]

Marc Quinones on Percussion! OH YEAH!!!!!

[@DanielC__]

OUT FREAKIN STANDING! They still sound great and I doubt their lip syncing like the Eagles and Henley.

[@Brooklynmusicforum]

They did "Here To Love You" instead of their big hit "Real Love" 🤔

[@bradcrawford1998]

Journey band members Cain and Schonn should hang with these brothers and learn RESPECT and INTEGRITY. You boys been suing each other on and off going back the last 3-4 years. SAD very SAD..Makes me want to distant myself from the band the last 3-4 years plus Arnels voice early struggles. Listen to him when he started with Journey vs now, he struggles badly now with his voice 😢

[@Cerph]

The crowd sang better than any I've heard.

[@angelabrown9895]

Shout Out To The Videographer!!!

[@nauczycielszkoy3407]

Bóg zapłać ❤

[@dclate62]

Michael McDonald...a national treasure !

[@gerrydooley951]

I like MM but can't understand a word he's singing. I don't begrudge him his work with the Doobies but I was a Tom Johnston fan. Having said that MM is very talented

[@shivakumarpennathur4642]

MM joining Tom on the pre-MM numbers is a radical touch, and actually enhances the composition. We aren't hearing enough of Pat Simmons

[@richmccarthy4128]

Look at Michael McDonald’s studio level keyboard work and you will appreciate his contribution even more.

[@Brooklynmusicforum]

MARK RUSSO IS THE MAN

[@manalishifilms]

DID I TELL YOU ALREADY ...YOU DAH MAN??!! YOU DAH MAN!!

[@rogerpence]

Tom Johnston can sing rings around Michael McDonald!

[@TWKOZAK]

Hey, Chico!

[@bloozedaddy]

Reality good for 70+ year olds but if you weren't there in the early 70s you wouldn't know how much better it was. Father Time takes no prisoners.

[@mjphoto45]

Did they do south city midnight lady?

[@Jim-pt8kk]

At this point I wanna see a Doobie Brothers greatest hits show. Don’t wanna hear any new stuff. They don’t even play South city midnight, Lady. They’ve been playing still crazy after all these years by Paul Simon. Why in the world would they do that? Save your money.!!

[@Brooklynmusicforum]

Why is the bassist singing?

[@extrasouth]

Because he’s the best singer in the band.

[@Brooklynmusicforum]

@@extrasouth Funny

[@Brooklynmusicforum]

@@extrasouth there are dime a dozen Nashville clones and then there's a one of a kind like Michael McDonald

[@extrasouth]

@@Brooklynmusicforum Funnier

[@Brooklynmusicforum]

@@extrasouth what's funnier is every single Nashville singer sounds like they came from a mold on a production line. Couldn't distinguish one from the other.

[@Edmant]

Don't get me wrong I love the doobies, always will, but it's like two bands playing on one stage.

[@robalvarado9547]

Didn't rerun almost go to jail for taping a doobies show on What's Happening ?

[@DonnaMorrone-it7hp]

Michael McDonald. Sang strong as ever not much cover up with some one else’s voice. Wow

[@sammysouth8372]

What? No Skunk Baxter?

[@teriowen5744]

Jeff Baxter is touring with his own backup musicians. I saw him last year in Hopewell Virginia at the Beacon Theater. The Beacon holds about 640 seats. Very small. One other detail: Jeff performed the show from a sit-down position. He admitted having back problems. Still, his performance was well received.

[@markstanich64]

REAL MUSIC NOT COMPUTER MUSIC OR RAP CRAP

[@Mr21scott]

"We have a great band" - well it's hard to tell, because this video zooms in and out and in and out and in and out and back and forth and back and forth and...instead of just showing the entire stage, period.

[@ElsieDixon-o2e]

Smith David Hernandez Deborah Garcia Joseph

[@edvadojunk]

As someone who once loved this band, I am SO glad I didn't buy a ticket to see them this time. They have so much material to draw from, WHY did they have to let Michael McDonald sing so many pieces?

[@DK-455]

Sounds kind of rough. These old guys need to call it a day !

[@brendakronberg345]

The worst video ever. Not showing Encore!

[@unclesalty7778]

Michael mc Donald great musician but that Voice makes me cringe! I can’t go for that , no can do! Sorry Santa!

[@youngyeller]

like all. they got old and fatter. its father time.

[@dwaters60]

Great band terrible concert footage!

[@Mark-sj3xb]

Concert was a borefest until 54:00. Doobies 76-80 was meh and a sellout to pop.
