The Show

What a great set the Doobie's did. Although only two original members where at the show, the band was very tight and the vocals were spot on. They started at 8:10 and finished at 9:15.

They played only one song from the Michael McDonald era which was fine with me.

I love the classic Doobie material better anyway!!
