The Tragic Real-Life Story Of The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers are one of the standards of classic rock radio these days, and while the band created some of the best feel good music of their era, they faced a lot of tragedies during their time together. One member had to leave the band mid-tour due to a drug problem, which led to quick rearrangements and a gradual change in sound, and the new singer they brought in also struggled with drugs. From the band members who died too young to the strange lawsuit involving Bill Murray, let’s take a look at the tragic real-life story of the Doobie Brothers.

I just saw the Doobie Brothers in August 2021 for their 50th Anniversary Tour. They were awesome! They played 23 songs and then 3 more for the encore! Great singing, energy and musicianship. The Doobie Brothers deserve their Hall of Fame induction. If you need proof, just "Listen To The Music".

He could play the drums and draw dirty cartoons. tom was aloof and Pat was just cool. half a century ago, amazing,

@@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203 howdy from Keith IE dyno. My favorite band also, hands down. i was there when Skip Spence was in the area and meeting Tom. Believe it or not I went to grammar school with skip and he ran away from home from a party I threw when I was 16 and I never saw him again till he showed up at a 7/11 behind the doobie brothers house on 12th st, in in San Jose. Tom new him from his sister and that is the history of how the band formed. I still remember all the crazy wonderful rock and role that went on there. Very wild and a ton of memories, I remember Tom playing Eric Clapton tune Cross roads and lighting up the whole neighbor hood who would come an listen. They were destined for greatness as they smoked em top to top and side to side. Little john was a master at staying up all night and drawing fantastic cartoons on a huge black board we had in the kitchen, they were very funny an rude as hell. My claim to fame is naming the Doobie Brothers, The Doobie Brother rocked and socked them 50 years. Just great.

They pick out at few dumb moments in the 50 year life of a great group of guys and great band. Yes, the odd setback but hardly tragic. Certainly no worse than most other bands who have come and gone.

I believe the Doobies rank up up there with being the best and most underrated band of all all time. Beyond anything else their musicianship and songwriting throughout all of their incarnations has been fantastic and I look forward to many more years of it. I remember Michael McDonald in a whacky moment saying being a Doobie Brother was kind of like being a ‘Mouseketeer’ ... ‘Once your in the club you can never leave’. I hope none of them ever do and that they’ll keep cranking it out.

I need to correct an inaccuracy. Michael McDonald reunited with the Doobies in 2019 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville to announce their 40th Anniversary tour. He sang "Takin' it to the streets" with the band. I was there and I thought maybe it was a little cameo appearance since Michael lives in the area, but they announced he would be touring with the band. Sadly, COVID suspended the tour, but I'm sure when they finally do get on the road it will be magnificent. And a big shout out to John Cowan holding down the bass and BGV duties. You won't find a better singer anywhere. Dude is amazing!

@CAROL. N/A/ Nobody can cope without dope. Even straight edgers have their smugness and their pious ego in order to create the dopamines that soothe them to sleep at night. We're living in an inhumane time of competitiveness and the Dobbies tried to counter that with a simpler and more loving message and subsequently they paid what is often the price of what counts as "success" in this world. Which they did by perhaps trying to bevel off the rougher edges of an uncompromising capitalist system which seems determined to squeeze every last ounce of profit out of absolutely everything in spite of how that made the band members feel. No wonder they used whatever they could to make them feel a little better.
