The Doobie Brothers

In the summer of 1981, The Doobie Brothers were riding high on the success of their album 'Minute by Minute,' which had been released earlier that same year. This album showcased their smooth blend of rock and R&B, featuring hits like 'What a Fool Believes.' During this live performance at Santa Barbara City College, the band radiated energy and camaraderie, reflecting their established reputation from the 70s and proving they could still captivate audiences. Interestingly, 'Minute by Minute' marked a turning point for the group; it was their first album with new member Michael McDonald fully integrated into the creative process. This era highlighted their versatility and allowed them to reach different musical audiences, solidifying their legacy in the rock and roll landscape.
