Listen to the Music

 

The Doobie Brothers performed March 16, 1973 on The Midnight Special

From 73 to my last WestPac cruse this was playing in all the "sailor" clubs in the Pacific.

The Doobie Brothers have been together for 50 years! Can you believe it? To celebrate their 50th anniversary, they are going on tour and working on a new album. 2020 was actually supposed to be their 50th-anniversary tour, but like many other artists, it was delayed due to the pandemic.

Band member Tom Johnston said, “We had everything going and it got dumped on by the pandemic, which kind of sucked. We did the virtual induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, that was pretty much it. Then it was a year of every day’s Thursday and nothing ever changes. It was pretty much a lost year.”

However, they are back at it! The Doobie Brothers are set to hit 30 cities in North America throughout 2020. On this 50th anniversary, it will be the first time in 25 years Johnston, McDonald, Simmons, and McFee will be touring on the road together. Such a reunion has been a long time coming.
