Anybody unfamiliar with the Doobies…… Familiarize youself.

Anybody already familiar with the Doobies…… Keep on truckin.

Last Saturday night, Suzanne and I went to see the Doobie Brothers play at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix. They rocked, they rolled and most importantly, they kicked copious amounts of ass. Yes, I said copious amounts of ass. Write that down.

It’s hard not to kick ass when your band has two drummers…

They closed with “Listen to the Music”…

It’s not your imagination… The circular stage slowly rotates during performances.

After over 30 years of performing, the Doobie Brothers are still a wonderful act to see and it does help to have a few original members still plugging away in the band. Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston are the two lead singers/guitarists and they’re original members from way back in the day……

A day long, long ago……when men were men…… and the sheep were scared.

A day when men were ugly, had tough beards, cowboy boots, and there was no talk of metrosexuals or boy bands…… but their music was real, and flowed from the heart to the mouth, where it intertwined with anti-depressant’s, Weed, Heroin, Cocaine and a nice refreshing cold beer to produce some of the most memorable rock n’ roll tunes of all time. Greats by the name’s of Hendrix, Allman, Van Zant, Joplin, Garcia, Plant and Page roamed the Earth just looking to spread some love and play a little rock n’ roll.

You can’t fault them for that now can you?

Jimi played a normal guitar upside down and left handed.

The almighty Led Zeppelin.

Now go ahead and load your IPod up with the greats of classic rock n’ roll and train like you’ve never trained before.

I will.
