The Dukes of September - Takin It To The Streets (Live)

[@charleswagner284]

Can we talk about that drummer? Wow he is absolutely killing it on all the songs the Dukes play.

[@dmleibo]

Shannon Forrest. Super-underrated drummer and unabashed Jeff Porcaro worshipper.

[@JohnCunningham-sy5ug]

Saw them at Pine knob aka. DTE. The talent was Worth the price of admission. God bless.

[@mikemiller8736]

What a sensational drummer. Kills it with Toto!!

[@dancharnas6374]

The drummer's terrific. This band doesn't do what it does without a killer drummer. And can we acknowledge how many killer drummer's there are in the world? In our world. We are truly blessed.

[@aimelilithe]

"That lady" is Monet Owens, and it's a travesty that they didn't include her name in the title or the description.

[@c0mm0n_sense]

@@aimelilithe Zip it, 3rd worlder. If you had bought this DVD set or seen it all, you'd know that Donald Fagen introduced her when he went through naming the band. She's a backing singer that was unfortunately given a moment in the spotlight, ruining it for me. There is tons of talent worth mentioning before her but you dont see anyone else crying about it, do you? It's always some crybaby woman wanting more than everyone else. Go play with rope.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

Ms. Monet didn't take it to the street, she took it over the top. There is such a thing as too much "soul". I can understand the desire for a gospel sound but sometimes it's taken too far. The tune, the band, you couldn't ask for more.

[@derekmckeith01]

Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way! I teared up too! This is music for the SOUL! Peace, Blessings, and Love to All Y'all ! 🙏🏽♥️

[@willritter4076]

I'd be honored if some late 70s/early 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by Michael McDonald, HOME AT LAST by Steely Dan, and WE'RE ALL ALONE by Boz Scaggs on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of groove. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and keep on grooving.

It's wonderful to see Michael McDonald still singing the classics of the Doobbie Brothers. When l was a kid and young teenager l would listen to their music on the radio. The Doobie Brothers along with Michael McDonald were as soulful with their music that made a crossover into R&B as well as Pop culture. They were pioneers of producing great music that touch many people diverse cultures 🎶 🎶 🎵 🎶
