Doobie Brothers

I can't believe I went all this time loving the music of the Doobie Brothers and not knowing it was their music!

They came to Edgefield on Friday and I was lucky enough to be there for the amazing outdoor show:

"The varied crowd was decked out in everything from baseball hats to bandanas to brimmed hats, flow-y dresses to cowboy boots, tie-died shirts to Doobie-logoed gear. No matter if they were 25 or 60, the crowd had a hard time keeping still throughout the concert, swaying and waving their hands in the air. On “Dangerous” the Doobies showed their true rock’n'roll chops with the soulful sounds of the electric guitar and the deep beats from two drum sets filling the air. One of the drummers stood and clicked his drumsticks together motioning for the crowd to follow suit, which they did with a slow overhead clap. ”Whoooooooah!” Johnston screamed on the next one, ”Rockin’ Down The Highway.” The deafening whistles and cheers after each song almost matched the screaming of Simmons’ guitar."
