D is for Doobie Brothers

It is interesting that even though the Doobie Brothers band was formed right down the road from me, they’ve never been in my top 10 favorite list. They do have quite a following though and we saw them as part of a huge “Day on the Green” type event a few years ago. There were five bands that played that day, Tower of Power, Steve Miller, Santana and Journey being the other four.

I wish that Michael McDonald had been singing with them but he wasn’t. Still it was a good prep for the rest of the show and got the crowd up and moving. We had some pretty decent seats on the field a little to the right of the stage.

As you can see, this show was from 2016 and it is not in the scrapbook yet! When I did the other A to Z music scrapbooking themes I jumped around in years and it is taking me some time to fill in the gaps. That’s why this time I decided just to go with what I had instead of trying to rush the scrapbooking. Next month I’m going to a scrapbooking weekend with my girlfriend and I’ll take the concert albums with me to work on. I think at this point I’m only chronologically up to 2011!

Not sure why but I have no video from this group. Maybe I was trying to conserve battery and memory space and I knew it was going to be a long day.

  4. Despite not being a Doobies fan I am loving being reminded about these bands, many of which take me back to those formative ( and sometimes wild) years. Thank you.

    I was a young adult in the 1970’s and I loved the Doobie Brothers. We owned their greatest hits album, back when albums were vinyl. I would have loved to have been at that 2016 mega-concert. Alana ramblinwitham

    I didn’t know they were from the Bay Area. Me too! Not now, I moved to OR. Being a teen in the 70s, I know their music, but never much of a fan.

    I would have loved to see Santana and Steve Miller. I did see Doobie Brothers in high school with my best friend. She was a huge fan. I wasn’t but went to spend time with her.

    As you say, a shame Michael McDonald wasn’t in the line-up, but fun songs to sing along with.
