The Doobie Brothers - Best Of Live - Music & Performance - CD

The Doobie Brothers were formed in Northern California in the late 60s/ early 70s where they gained an enthusiastic following among local chapters of the Hells Angels. The band's image at that time reflected that of their biggest fans, all leather jackets and motorcycles but they soon began to develop a smoother sound with a country influence. They had a number of successful albums and a string of hits before breaking up in 1981. This release brought to you at mid-price is a selection of tracks from a live recording of two benefit concerts performed by the band for the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Spring of 1996. During the shows, all three lead vocalists Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald, and Patrick Simmons performed, which was a first in the band's history. It is an engaging and entertaining celebration of one of America's most enduring and successful rock and roll combos featuring past hits such as "Black Water," "China Groove," and "Listen To The Music".
