The Doobie Brothers in Clearwater

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in San Jose in 1970. Their catalog moves between guitar-driven rock and soul-inflected pop, with “Listen to the Music,” “Long Train Runnin’,” “China Grove,” “Black Water” and “What a Fool Believes” among their best-known songs. Key albums include Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me and Minute by Minute. The 1982 Farewell Tour ended with a concert at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. A benefit reunion in 1987 led to the group’s return as a working band, followed by decades of amphitheater and arena dates. Beginning in 2021, the 50th Anniversary Tour brought Michael McDonald back into the touring lineup alongside Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons and John McFee.
