I saw this Group play in 1971 when I got home from Vietnam. They were playing at a street fair in San Francisco. It was a good day as I was thankful to be alive. 52 years is a long time. I've learned a lot. Some good, some bad. God Bless America because America needs it.

I saw the Doobie Brothers in 1977 when I was 16 and in 8 days I'm gonna see them again in West Palm Beach.. I'm 63 now but I'm very anxious for a night of Classic American Rock Music!

Kenny Loggins co-wrote this Grammy award winning song with Michael McDonald. Fantastic.

One of the *greatest* songs of all time.

can hardly believe michael mc donald can still sing this song on its 50th anniversary he still sounds good of course im not expecting a performance that sounds the same as back in their hayday but whats important is stepping on the stage and just sing it the best you can, no frills ,no drama to the delight of your fans god bless you guys

❤ MM! As a person, humanitarian, song writer, but MOST of all a superior vocalist & musician. Have met him! A sweet humble talented guy that deserves all the recognition of the music world. I wish he had been inducted into the R&R Hall of Hall as an individual not as a member of a group. His talent is multifaceted for he has reached beyond himself and contributed to many noted vocalists! He “made” the Doobies popular❣️ Before COVID I made a point to see him annually. His two cover Motown albums are excellent! 😊

In 1971 I listened to the first song of the Doobies, Listen to the music, their first hit, it was love at first sight, and now 52 years later, they are still here and touring, all Tom, Pat, Michael and John after all those years, band problems and issues in between, amazing !!!

They still got it!

Incombustible voice

I don't know he still sounds pretty good to me. Even professional musicians can have a bad night with the voice. I heard him do a Christmas concert once where he actually had to stand to hit a high note but all credit to him he nailed it when he could have bailed.

I love this! We are seeing them in June! I can’t wait!

Rapaz, esse cara é uma lenda ,que música bem feita !!!!!

They actually sound really good doing that song! Yup. Michael McDonald's voice can still reach those high notes... at his age! Awesome! Unlike Phil Collins or America, which really just do it because people are willing to pay to see them, but simply haven't got it anymore, vocally. 😢

It’s a little weird a half step down but Mike is still killing it. And this is the correct tempo. Most of the other live versions in the past were so frantic.

Having seen the Doobies 29 times, including Charlotte in July, expected the same crystal clear guitars and vocals, couldn’t hear anything but McDonalds too loud organ and incessant moaning. They are a GUITAR BAND, not a backup band. Worst show since the 80s
