The Doobie Brothers

In this captivating live recording from November 30, 1981, The Doobie Brothers deliver a stellar performance of 'Minute by Minute,' a hit single that showcases their smoother, more polished sound from the late '70s. Just a few years prior, in 1978, they had released the album 'Minute by Minute,' which marked a notable shift in their style, leaning more towards soft rock and R&B influences. This album not only solidified their place in the music scene but also brought them their first Grammy Award for Record of the Year. By the time of this Santa Barbara show, the band's evolving sound continued to resonate with audiences, blending their classic rock roots with fresh, soulful melodies. Interestingly, this era reflected a transformative phase for the group as they navigated the changing musical landscape of the early '80s.
