I think it's okay that modern artists utilize computers, and to some extent, Auto Tune. I don't think musicians should make whole songs around the tool-- unless it's almost a joke song akin to Eiffel 65's "Blue", a song that should just be taken for fun. Modern mainstream artists lack... talent. And that's the problem, but having synths, and voice-correcting should be 100% fine so long as it actually improves a song and helps someone turn their vision to a reality. I dunno, just my thoughts

There is a Doobie Brothers concert video on KZfaq from 1982 in California. It was great and Michael McDonald was there with all of their biggest hits together, But the biggest roaring ovations still came for the Classic Doobie original hits.

There's a third fan base -- those of us who liked both eras, and don't see why the other two have to keep tearing each other down all the time. :-) The McDonald era was different, to be sure, but it's hardly accurate to say he "ruined" the band, especially when you look at the history of the group and the things they were going through at the time.

Another Park Another Sunday-Real Love-Here To Love You-South City Midnight Lady. React Away! Sung by Tom Johnston and another lead singer before Michael was Patrick Simmons.☺

The Doobie Brothers are one of the few bands where you can tell the fans apart based on which singer they prefer. I love both the Tom/Pat-led version and the Michael McDonald-led version mostly because growing up in my house, my dad was a bigger fan of the Tom/Pat version and my mom preferred Michael. Always good on road trips to see which one's songs we would listen to more on our "Best of the Doobies" CD

If you're that knocked out by harmonica look this one up: "Bonnie Raitt - Runaway (Live 1977)", as entertaining as it gets as well as one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

"I Cheat the Hangman" from the Stamped album, was featured on the 70's TV show "Whats Happening" when the Doobies made a special guest appearance. Fun episode as Rerun gets caught up in a scheme trying to secretly tape the concert at the school and the wacky fun ensues.🌟

South City Midnight Lady, Dark Eyed Cajun Woman, Natural Thing, Ukiah ---- every song on this album is a gem. A really fantastic debut album from the pre M.M days. Thanks so much. Great memories of summertime with the Doobies!

Jamel I just love your reactions vides. The Doobie Brothers are great. One of the best bands of 70"s and 80's. Love everything they did. Always great to dance to in the clubs. Great to see in concert. Keep up all your good. Love you Jamel

I love watching you respond to music - so genuine and heartfelt. I was born into this era, with my parents as young hippies in their 20s. It's a time that really can't be expressed in words. It was close to another dimension. Then it ALL went sideways!! Badly. The 80s were just a slow-mo trainwreck (imho). The drugs got harder, the clubs got bigger, and everything got REAL dark. Suddenly everyone was out for themselves. I have a lot of trauma from that. Going from such light to such darkness. Maybe had you been there.....you could have kept everyone dancing and appreciating life. GOD BLESS YOU and your 'good work'
