Classic Doobie Brothers Coming To CD and DVD (A Top Story)

The rafters of Berkeley, California's famed Greek Theater shook with rock'n'roll fervor as the final date of the final tour of hometown heroes The Doobie Brothers brought many in the crowd that night to tears. Billed as their "Farewell Tour," the band, guitarist/vocalist Pat Simmons, keyboardist/vocalist Michael McDonald, drummer Keith Knudson, guitarist/violinist/harmonica player John McFee, saxophonist/keyboardist/flautist Cornelius Bumpus, drummer/percussionist Chet McCracken, bassist Willie Weeks, and conga player Bob LaKind, pulled out all the stops on a set that revisited their every era.

This incredible night included the surprise return of band co-founder Tom Johnston for the final two numbers. On their biggest hit, "Listen To The Music," original member John Hartman also joined the band as did former members Tiran Porter and Michael Hossack. It would prove to be the last onstage Doobie Brothers music for five years. - more on this story
