The Doobie Brothers

In this electrifying performance of "South City Midnight Lady" recorded live at Wolf Trap in 2003, The Doobie Brothers were riding high on the success of their resurgence in the early 2000s. This song features on their classic 1973 album, *The Captain and Me*, a pivotal work that showcased their blend of rock, country, and blues—solidifying their place in music history. Interestingly, the band had regrouped in 1987 after a brief hiatus and had been touring extensively, reconnecting with fans and introducing their timeless hits to a new generation. By the time of this live recording, they were celebrated not just for their music but also their individual flourishes, especially with Patrick Simmons’ heartfelt compositions like this one. It’s such a treat to hear them capture the spirit of the original while engaging a packed audience—proof that great music truly stands the test of time!
