The Doobie Brothers

In their live performance of "China Grove" at the Forum on October 9, 2021, The Doobie Brothers were riding a wave of renewed excitement thanks to their 2021 album, "Liberty," which had just dropped. This album marked a significant return for the band, especially with the inclusion of Michael McDonald, whose presence has long been cherished by fans. It was a heartwarming reunion, bringing back the magic of their classic sound. This performance captured the essence of their journey through the years—melding rich harmonies with deep-rooted rock and roll. Interestingly, the song "China Grove" itself, which was originally released in 1973, has persisted in popularity, often seen as an anthem of the band's enduring legacy. It was a full-circle moment for the band, reflecting not just on where they’ve been, but also on the road ahead.
