The Doobie Brothers

In June 1982, The Doobie Brothers took the stage at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles as part of their farewell tour, performing their hit "Take Me In Your Arms." At this time, the band was riding high off their recent album, 'Minute by Minute' (1978), which had produced several chart-topping hits, including the classic 'What a Fool Believes.' This farewell tour was a significant moment, marking the end of an era for the band. They had seen a lineup of changes and musical experimentation over the years, transitioning from their rock roots to a more polished sound influenced by soul and R&B. Interestingly, during this concert, they showcased not just their signature harmonies but also included talented musicians like Bobby LaKind on congas and Chet McCracken on drums, enriching their sound. The 1982 performance was a memorable send-off, highlighting their journey and evolution within the music scene.
