David G Sperry...lucky you to have seen the Doobies. One band i never managed to see live. At my college in the 70s a top live band performed almost every weekend. Maidstone, England printing and art college. Still i can listen to the Hindleys great version, or my CD in the car, or on a 'long train running'

[@stevendelaney8140]

This song is hook after hook and very difficult to nail. I think I like this version over the original recording. It's sounds like a version that could be on a modern album. The mixing is amazing.

[@affordabledesertliving3487]

Very first serious band I had ever seen in concert. In Fredericton New Brunswick about 1976 or thereabouts.

[@voxac30withstrat]

One my all time favourite bands as well. Seen them 3 times now. The last time at Deniliquin Blues Festival when it was on where we got to meet them all. What a fabulous open air that was. John Mayer, Steve Earl, Dr.John, Met them all. They finished their sets and we got to talk to them after. So sad it never lasted more than 3 years. Didn't like Michael McDonalds contribution to the Doobies though. They turned into a pop band and lost that edge but man they sure got it back at Deni. They came down from Byron to do their one night set.

[@richardmcguire6443]

[@ZIMsar10]

I've heard the Doobie Brother's Live & at the Concert I attended, they sounded dreadful. Any Band/Artist, is only as a good as their last Live Performance, because anyone can sound perfect in a Studio. The main issue with the Doobie Brothers, IMHO, was their terrible Audio Engineer, it was hard to clearly distinguish vocals, because they were drowned out by Drums/Bass/Guitar. That's a lazy Audio Engineer, or a probably deaf one. Proof of theory, the band Foreigner played after them, with a different Audio Engineer & he did an amazing job & Lou Gramm's voice was perfect, it was such a pleasure to hear him in his prime.

Unfortunately, that's not correct. Michael Jackson told Elizabeth Taylor that he did during a phone call that was being recorded, but Pat Simmons of the Doobies said that it never happened; although he thought Michael would have done it if they had asked him because he was good friends with the band.
