The Doobie Brothers With Michael McDonald Rejuvenate Via Blue Eyed Soul & Classic Hit Parade at Inglewood’s Kia Forum
The Doobie Brothers' 50th-anniversary tour was scheduled to take place in 2020, but the pandemic delayed those big plans. The overdue tour finally kicked off in July 2021 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band hit The Forum in Los Angeles on October 9.
Tuesday's passing of Rolling Stones legend Charlie Watts was a sobering reminder that classic rock idols won't be around forever.
But Tuesday night at the BMO Harris Pavilion, there was a thrilling reminder that we should cherish the chance to see them while we can.
But aged 66, former Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers member Michael McDonald is having the kind of critical reappraisal that most musicians in their seventh decade would kill for.
Just one song into Sunday night's concert, though, the veteran singer with the big, soulful voice took off his jacket and dropped it to the floor in a crumpled heap.
