I was there for this concert. I bought the "expensive" tickets to sit on stage and watch the bands from the left side of the stage (as seen in this video). Bruce Cohn put these benefits concerts on for over 10 years and I went to every one. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful venue for a 9 hour concert (it stated at 11 and ended at 8pm most times).
Shoulda let the Bass Player sing too!!.......He is a bad boy sho nuff!!......Sammy is a bad boy too, hell, everybody on stage come to think of it!!....lol
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS FRIGGIN KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And as much as I think Joe Satriani is beyond amazing,I am also a HUGE Doobie Brothers fan and Tom Johnston is an amazing guitarist in his own right!!!!!! That plus Sammy is just THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!
Great sound! Sadly, I recently went to a Jethro Tull concert and Ian Anderson's voice is absolutely gone. Flute was working well, but not his voice. Admittedly, these guys are about 10 years younger than Anderson, also. My very first concert was at the San Diego Sports Arena w/ Eddie Money and the Doobie Brothers opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd, in '78. Amazing concert! Edit: Seems I messed up my years, as they were dead by '78. Too much pot induced memory fog, I guess. Peace, out.
Ian Anderson has a disease which i can't remember the name of that affects his singing. I saw him talking about it in a video. It's too bad because Jethro Tull is one of my favorite bands.
Relax, of course he's going to do that, it's a one shot deal. Doesn't take anything away from the Doobs, they wouldn't have allowed it if they had a problem with it. Plus it's a cover song anyways.
Sorry to say that the Doobie Brothers are again a backing band for another singer here. But this lead singer is 1,000% better than that McDonald ever will be.
@@KBB4eva I have seen the Doobie Brothers 4 times and all without McDonald. Tom Johnston has a good voice. McDonald has more of a Soulful voice. McDonald doing background with Steely Dan is well suited.
@@garyoconnordbaairrepair7775 I’ve seen the with Tom and he does have a good voice . More Rock n Soul. I’ve know tue since they began almost. I’m fro San Jose . They can all sing well , but Mike is in another category. I’m a singer and singing his tunes with his breathing Is hard . Notice how he’s a but behind the phrase in his singing now ? He got better as the tour went by its hard to do what he does in full voice singing high .
poor doobies! hagar is completely overshadowing them, he barely acknowledges tom johnston and doesnt give any attention to pat simmons or john mcfee! :(
How ignorant and what a dumb statement. Sammy was a guest of the Doobie Brothers the B.R. Cohn Charity concert. The Doobie Brothers sang plenty of songs and Tommy is always featured. He doesn't need anybody to give him attention, he's been an icon since 1971.
