The Doobie Brothers are a rock band from the USA. They have sold over 40 million albums worldwide throughout their career, and have been active for five decades. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004.

John Hartman arrived in California in 1969 with the hopes of meeting Skip Spence of Moby Grape. Spence introduced Hartman to singer-songwriter Tom Johnston and the two musicians later became the engine behind The Doobie Brothers. They began by calling their band, “Pud” and went through a few line up changes sometimes including Skip Spence. It was in 1970 when they met Dave Shogren and another singer songwriter called Patrick Simmons, who had really made a name for himself in the local scene, but he really worked well alongside the line up that was beginning to form. Playing all over Northern California earned them a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records in 1971.

It was over the next five years that they would become an international hit, with their sophomore album “Toulouse Street” released July 1972, going Platinum in the US and charting in Australia and New Zealand as well. “The Captain and Me”, released in March 1973, followed suit but this time going 2x Multi-Platinum. A similar pattern happened over the next couple of years in the form of “What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits” and “Stampede” both being top 4 albums in the US, and then in 1976, along came soulful power house, Michael McDonald. Under a contract to release an album in 1976, the Doobies were in a difficult situation where their main songwriter was unavailable so they turned to McDonald and Porter for material. With this request came the album “Takin’ It to the Streets” which was released on March 19th 1976. With the success of this album seeing it make it to number 8 in the Pop Albums Chart, The Doobie Brothers asked McDonald if he’d like to continue working with them for their next record. Fast forward a couple of successful albums to 1979, which is when they released an album called “Minute by Minute”, and on that album featured a song called “What a Fool Believes”, written by McDonald and Kenny Loggins. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 14th 1979, and received Grammy Awards in 1980 for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

Over the course of the next couple of years, The Doobies embarked on world tours but unfortunately due to many issues between band members, exhaustion and disillusion, there were no original members left. Michael McDonald was ready for a solo career, so the band elected to disband. Of course, the band briefly disbanded and effectively hibernated for the next four years before making a comeback in the form of an album called “Cycles” which was released on May 17th 1989, this time without McDonald.

Live reviews

I enjoyed the show. It was what I expected, having seen them several times. It is an emotional connection for me. It . will always be my travelling music. I was married on Valentines Day of 1973, and we drove from Vsncouver down USA 101. We had an 8 track at the time, and it was part of our driving music. It makes me very noststalgic for a happy,and innocent time. Though I lost my husbsnd it was the music of that time. We selected the Doobies, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, America, C.S N.Y. ,Steve Miller Band, Yes, E.LO. E L.P. Bob Seeger, as the core of our "tunes" We also had select Jazz tapes as my husband was a jazz musician. Those tunes always return me to a time of experiencing some of the happiest times of my life. It was a time for discovery, adventure, and being in a state of bliss. I had never travelled past Seattle, and the Oregon coast was all and more than what I had hoped for. I remember running down the beach, and the wind made my sweater into a following cape. The waves broke on the beach, and this roiled up a seafoam. I recall pictures of me standing on a rock with this foam surrounding me, and it looked like snow. When we left Vancouver there had been s a late snow on the ground, and this appeared ss dnow in the photos we had taken. (We had to get films developed in those days). It was an unexpected discovery when we eagerly looked over our photos, taken with a Kodak camera I got when I was 12. It worked very well, and I quite miss it. The best part of our trip for me was the feeling of freedom, and whole and really loved for the first time in my life, and accepted for who I was. The trip was so powerful for me, and us, as best friends and partners. It was a discovery of landscapes, beauty of nature, a security found in each other, and a liberation on many levels, and a new chapter in life, which, I have never forgotten. Those glorious songs trigger a palpable response, that has transcended time for me. It was a ticket to a show and a special time in my life. I had those photos taken ftom me, "but the song remains the same " to me, and the music holds my memories.

Absolutely awesome concert! They are tighter than ever and still play very energetically. They obviously enjoy the music very much, This is not a job... it's a joy! I'm a musician and there are times in your career that you just don't want to play another note. You don't even want to listen to music. Although the road can make you weary, the days of agony are over for the Doobs. They do it because they love it. They have big hearts. It's charity, in fact, that kept them together. May they continue to play the music that will always sell out any venue they care to play. Hot dogs, apple pie, baseball and of course, The Doobie Brothers! The Doobies have always been environmentally conscientious and patriotic. The concert was preceded by a Pledge of Allegiance, and a ceremony honoring our men and women in uniform. This included a moment of silence for all those Missing In Action or Prisoners of War, and the singing of The National Anthem. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. The musicians are still awesome and played some great music. I would go see them again anytime.

I have loved the Doobie Brothers since the 70s & they didn't disappoint in 2017!! They still look & sound as wonderful (if not better)than they did back in the day! Touring with Chicago, this concert was one of the best I have seen so far this year! The only downer for me was the crowd at the Austin 360 Amphitheater. Yes, we are all older than we were back in the 70s & 80s, but show the artist, that is performing for you, that you STILL LOVE their music! They want to see people enjoying, dancing, singing their songs. You SIT @ a symphony, NOT A ROCK N ROLL CONCERT!!!! Austin, TX is suppose to be the music capital of the world, but Saturday night I felt like I was sitting at an old folks home! Get up & enjoy the music, you never know if this will be the last time they tour & perform! If you have the opportunity to jam with The Doobie Brothers & Chicago ~ GO!!! You WILL NOT be disappointed!! FANTASTIC SHOW!!

Bluesfest Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers were up first. With their mix of southern rock, country, folk, R&B and soul, the current lineup rotated from three guitars and bass, to acoustic guitars, harmonica, electric violin, along with the excellent sax playing of Marc Russo, keyboards of Little Feet’s Bill Payne complementing the vocal harmonies of Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston and John Mcfee that defines The Doobie Brothers music. All the classics were played. Starting with Jesus is Just Alright, Rockin’ Down the Highway, Take Me in Your Arms, Taking to the Streets, Black Water, Long Train Runnin’, China Grove and my personal favourite, Clear as the Driven Snow and finishing with Listen to The Music. By the end of the set, everyone was on there feet and dancing…Brilliant evening

When we saw Don Felder being advertised with the Doobies I misunderstood and thought he was playing in their band. Well he turned out to be the jewel of the show, not only for the quality of his work,but the audio level that he worked at. You could hear the words and the distinction in the solos. No one drowned out the other. The Doobies were garbled and played way too loud for this venue.We left early with our ears ringing. Very disappointed.The venue Austin City Limits at Moody Theatre was good with excellent visibility and good acoustics. We will go back to this venue as we had cheaper seats in the balcony, but could see and hear well.I would advise against the pricey seats in the orchestra as many fans stood up during the performance. Who wants to pay big and then be inconvenienced?

Doobie Brothers is one of my favourite all time

Bands and I have come to the conclusion that I like the music produced when Michael McDonald was part of the band. I am not a fan of the highway rock and roll, folk or country and western style music

playef in Sydney on 13 April 2017. It is what it is

Playlist. What made the experience almost intolerable was that the sound produced was awful. Either the engineer fell asleep on the controls or was hearing impaired. Wasn't the venue as Santana who followed had great sound.

Honestly one of the best nights of my life, never thought I'd ever get to see Doobie Brothers live on stage,still seems like a dream. The night was amazing, the band was electrifying, the lights and musical performance were mesmerising, the energy and charisma of the guy's had us the audience hooked from the very first note. I've always had their CD's, but to hear them singing and watch their performance on stage is truly exceptional, if they ever come back to Glasgow I would love to see them again, OUTSTANDING, X

The Doobie Brothers were in Seattle last Saturday for the Northwest Classic concert series. They opened up for the Eagles, but the Doobie's should have head lined the show. Their vocals and their musicianship were in fine form. This is the best the band has sounded in a few years.

Safeco Stadium held all 33,000+ of us safe and in a fun environment. No security issues... very peaceful crowd.

This was my 45th Doobie Brothers Concert... and it was one of their best shows! The boys know how to 'kick it'.

The band was truly excellent. The vocals were as great as they were when they started out. They have such distinctive and cool voices! The guitar playing was top notch and the sax player was excellent. Overall they were truly great. The Doovies opened for Steely Dan and the two acts together were awesome. This was a concert not to miss. I recommend this show to anyone at any age. In fact, I recommend it to a younger crowd to get a true education on two great long standing rock groups.

I have listened to the Doobie Brothers since a was in my teens. My dad was a gigantic fan and I guess it rubbed off on me also! My Dad passed on in 2007 and I inherited his automobile. While driving along one day on my commute to work, I looked in his CD compartment and found 3 Doobie Brothers CD'S! Now, whenever I drive Dad's car a part of him is sitting right next to me singing away! That is the closeness a Father & Daughter could ever hope for and it was helped along by the Doobie Brothers!

Doobie Brothers’ 50th Anniversary Tour to Continue Without Tom Johnston

Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald in 2022

The Doobie Brothers have announced that Tom Johnston will be undergoing surgery following what is described as “severe back pain.” The guitarist and singer thus won’t be joining the band on the upcoming leg of their 50th anniversary tour. The news, posted on the band’s Facebook page today (May 22), notes that Johnston, who turns 75 on August 15, “is looking forward to returning to the road as soon as possible.” The group, with Pat Simmons, Michael McDonald and John McFee, resume their tour on May 25. The classic rock legends’ reunion with McDonald, their former lead vocalist and keyboardist, was originally announced on Nov. 18, 2019.

The run was first set to start on June 9, 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic and postponed for roughly a year. It finally began on August 22, 2021. After an extended run in 2022, the 2023 edition resumed in April with many dates in Australia and Japan. Their North American tour currently continues through October. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com .

The band has typically played a 25-song set that includes such favorites as Johnston songs “Long Train Runnin'” and “Listen to the Music,” as well as “Rockin’ Down the Highway,” “China Grove,” plus deeper cuts like “South City Midnight Lady” and “Eyes of Silver.”

On Jan. 15, 2020, the Doobie Brothers were finally chosen for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2020.

Watch McDonald sing their 1976 hit “Takin’ It to the Streets”

The group’s Fall 2019 original surprise reunion announcement was at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium when the former frontman joined the band on stage. The tour reunites McDonald with founding members Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, and longtime member John McFee, for a North American run to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary.

As they finished the Nov. 18, 2019, encore of “Black Water,” Simmons said to the audience, “You might remember him from, well, he has his own band these days… But you might remember him from his band, the Doobie Brothers… Mr. Michael McDonald.”

Out came McDonald who led the band on a performance of “Takin’ It to the Streets,” the group’s first single with him as lead vocalist.

Following the song, Simmons revealed the news of the reunion tour.

McDonald, born Feb. 12, 1952, joined the band in 1975 as a temporary replacement for Johnston who had been in poor health. It is Johnston who provides the classic rock lead vocals on many of the Doobie Brothers ‘ early hits including “Listen to the Music,” “Long Train Runnin'” and “China Grove.” Simmons sang lead on their first #1 single, “Black Water.”

A greatest hits collection, Best of the Doobies , released in October 1976, contained songs from both lead singers. Though it peaked on the chart at only #5, it has over 10 million copies.

The Doobie Brothers’ Minute By Minute album was #1 for 5 weeks in 1979

McDonald’s soulful voice soon led to such hits as “Minute By Minute,” “Real Love” and the group’s second #1, “What a Fool Believes.” The group’s Minute By Minute album was a huge seller, topping the album charts for five weeks.

The band’s career soared to even greater success and when Johnston returned, briefly, he had a diminished role. Several years later, when Simmons also departed, the Doobie Brothers disbanded.

When the Doobie Brothers were finally inducted into the Rock Hall, the following members were included: Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, John Hartman, Michael Hossack, Johnston, Keith Knudsen, McDonald, McFee, Tiran Porter and Simmons.

26 Comments so far

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Don’t tour with McDonald! He single-handedly destroyed The Doobie Brothers! McDonald took a rockin’ band and turned it into shit!

Agree 100%. I was excited to get tickets until I saw that travesty. I never cared for the band while he was a member.

Your comment sounds so uneducated, you did not like the McD. Era that’s fine, but it sure was not shit, they were 2 different sounds and allowed a great band to continue and expand there musical sounds. If 4 Grammies and multi amount of top singles is shit, then I guess shit is good. Your opinion is your own, but to define thu music as shit is very narrowed minded. Give the McD. Era it’s credit if you like it or not. It’s still has its value and many fans agree. M. McD. Is one of the greatest vocalist/Song writers /Keyboard player who created a style of music that was copied by many of artist. I’ll be at a few of the shows rocketing out and appreciating both era’s of the DB’s. —Peace…

Well said, friend. I for one like pre-McDonald and with him.

I agree that he is a great songwriter and keyboard player. But his voice is nightmare to me. Every record he made with the Doobie Brothers would be much better, if someone else sings those songs!

Thank you! McD held band together when Johnston had bleeding ulcers…with Tom’s blessings. And the band has endured.

Michael McDonald made the Doobie Brothers. Minute by Minute, Taking it to the Streets, What a Fool Believes, all classic hits.

Lola… McDonald joined the group after their first 5 albums. While his contribution is significant, the band had already had plenty of success with 3 Top Ten albums and pop hits with “Listen to the Music,” “Long Train Runnin’,” “China Grove” and more, before he joined.

Doobies HOPE to make it to The RR Hall of Fame? What a travesty. I mean NWA and The Beastie Boys are there. Which is a fucking JOKE. RRHOF has lost all credibility.

When I was in junior high our entire class won their greatest hits album.Hope Skunk Baxter takes some time off to tour with them

This will be a great 50th tour. I have my tickets. I have been talking to Michael on line about the tour. I’m really looking forward to the show.

Would love to see them tour down under in Australia. No covid here!

McD kept them going for many years!! Definitely had a better sound WITH HIM!!

They were, essentially, two different bands that both sounded great in their own ways. But McDonald certainly did not “destroy” the Doobie Brothers. If anything he kept it going after Tom Johnston jumped ship. The band probably would have disbanded were it not for McDonald. Instead, they had some of their greatest success. Also, with regard to Bomber’s comment, they have no room for Skunk Baxter in the band as they already have three guitar players. Plus, Johnston pretty much wants to play lead all the time, so their other excellent guitar player in John McFee has to just play rhythm (along with Patrick Simmons) and some steel. Johnston is the voice of all those iconic early Doobies hits, but for a guy who left the band high (no pun intended) and dry, at one point, he’s pretty much reclaimed it as HIS band. Adding McDonald for this tour is a nice touch, which will make their shows a lot more interesting. For as many hit songs as they had, a night of listening to almost all Johnston’s voice gets wearisome, even if you’re a fan,

To be fair to Johnston, he was pretty sick when he left.

He was NOT sick when he left. He came back, after he recovered, and had five songs on Livin On The fault line. As they were about to press the record, he pulled the songs off fault Line and presumably put the material on the first of his solo efforts. He recently stated on CBS Sunday Morning that he just wasnt into the direction they were headed, even with the fact he likely had half the songs on the record. I saw his solo shows, billed as The Tom Johnston Band and later Border patrol, with Phil AAberg of Elvin Bishop fame and Starship’s eventual drummer.

Tom Johnston had a bleeding ulcer when he left the band for health reasons.

Johnston didn’t jump ship. For Christ’s sake, he had bleeding ulcers. He approved of Mcdonald joining the band. He saved it.

Da Mick has it right in one regard in that the McD Doobies and pre-McD Doobies are two different bands, each with their own strengths. I love them both and have seen them several times with both line-ups. Baxter is currently touring in support of his own (strong) album and wouldn’t have time to join the Doobies.

Tom is and always was the “band”. His writing, singing and guitar playing made those first albums shine. Pat is a great partner. The “Captain and Me” was one of greatest albums of the 70’s. Every song is a classic. If there is a better Doobies song than “Dark Eyed Cajun Woman” I haven’t heard it. I saw them in 2019 for the 9th time, without McDonald, and they killed it. They blew the roof off, what a band.

Surprised there was no mention of Little Feat keyboardist Bill Payne in the article. He’s been accompanying The Doobies on tour quite frequently for the past 2 years or more…

Billy Payne is out touring with his group “Little Feat”.

Come to the smaller venues who supported your band

My mistake, folks. With apologies to Tom Johnston. I was not aware of his illness as the reason for his departure back in the day. Glad he made it through that and back to the stage I saw tgem with Tom just a few years ago, and as you pointed out, Paco. Bill Payne was playing keyboards with them. Wonder if he’ll be able to do this Doobies Anniversary tour, as he’s doing the Feat Anniversary tour for “Waiting For Columbus,” Thanks for setting me straight, Jeff, Rick, and Dr. Love.

Kudos to you for acknowledging and apologising. 🙂

I was disappointed to hear Michael McDonald joining the Doobie Bros. The only reason I’ve seen them in concert was when McDonald decided to leave the band.

There’s something about his voice that makes me either change the radio station or switch to another CD.

I can barely put up with background voice on Steely Dan’s “Peg” which is the only week cut on Aja.

Concert Review: The Doobie Brothers – 50th Anniversary Tour

The Doobie Brothers – 50th Anniversary Tour
Starlight Theater
Kansas City, Missouri

Some of my fondest musical memories came courtesy of the Doobie Brothers. I still remember the episode of “What’s Happening!” where the boys got caught sneaking a tape recorder into one of the band’s concerts. My high school kitchen band – that’s where we rehearsed – used to do a kick ass version of “China Grove.” When he was younger, my son and his mother used to sing along to “Black Water” every day on the ride to school. And I loved how almost every photo of Tom Johnston in the mid-70s showed him wearing a “Jaws” t-shirt! The band went from being big to being HUGE once Michael McDonald came on board, with the band winning four Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for “What a Fool Believes.” Like most bands, the members eventually went their seperate ways and I’ve seen both the Doobies and Michael McDonald in the past. But never todgether. Until now!

Kicking off their amazing (24) song set with “Take Me in Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While),” the band took myself and a sold out Starlight Theater crowd on an amazing trip down memory lane. The vocals were solid and the music was tight, as 50-years of music poured over the willing crowd who sang along at every chance.

Other well known songs, including “You Belong to Me,” “It Keeps You Runnin’,” and “Takin’ It to the Streets” were mixed in with great album cuts like “South City Midnight Lady” and “Eyes of Silver” kept the crowd up on their feet and dancing all night. Other highlights included a rousing version of “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” with McDonald at his most soulful and a great cover of Steely Dan’s “Pretzel Logic.”

Besides founding member Patrick Simmons, along with long time Doobie’s McDonald and John McFee, the band included long time touring members John Cowan on bass and the amazing Marc Russo on the saxophone.

One Reply to “Concert Review: The Doobie Brothers – 50th Anniversary Tour”

Readers, I errantly identified Patrick Simmons as Tom Johnston. This was pointed out to me by a reader who went on to call my review “false” because I failed to mention that Tom Johnston was not on the tour due to health reasons. It was not my intention to mislead anyone, just a simple mistake. The review remains the same…it was a great show!
