He departed in 1982 for a thriving solo career, but McDonald always maintained an amicable relationship with his bandmates di lui. The snowy-haired soul-pop luminary joined the band in 1975 and helped recast their sound. But, it’s also about the inclusion of Michael McDonald. The specialness of the anniversary run – which runs through October – is partially to celebrate the Doobies’ achievement of still attracting thousands of fans to blissfully sing along with their chameleonic catalog. Turning 50 in 2022:Albums from Elton John, Eagles, Rolling Stones and more Five dates have been rescheduled just another speed bump for a tour that, like dozens of others, was originally planned for 2020. Despite the caution being practiced backstage – masks a must, social distancing when possible – and the monk-like existence the guys practiced while in Vegas (“I didn’t go anywhere except to walk to CVS,” Johnston says, while Simmons admits to missing meals out with the gang), the virus insinuated its way into the Doobie ranks. The veteran rockers planned to kick off this new tour leg last week, but as goes COVID, so do postponements.
Indeed, nary a dancer nor acrobat was witnessed at The Doobie Brothers’ Friday night show at Jiffy Lube Live in Virginia, the band’s first performance since a mini-residency in Las Vegas in May, as well as its continuation of the 50th anniversary tour that played its first round last fall. “It’s almost a novelty to see a band that sings and plays and doesn’t have a big dance production that’s part of the show,” he says, smiling behind his mask. The soft-spoken Simmons also credits authenticity.
“When people get up and sing back at you, that’s the magic part.”
