The Doobie Brothers – Live From The Beacon Theatre (2-CD)
Product Details
The Beacon Theatre has long been one of rock's most storied rooms, and the Doobies have a history with that Upper West Side landmark that stretches back decades. Toulouse Street and The Captain And Me represent the heart of the early Tom Johnston era, the moment when the band crystallized their blend of rock, R&B, and gospel into something distinctly their own, and hearing those albums performed front to back gave longtime fans a rare chance to revisit that foundation together.
In November 2018, The Doobie Brothers returned to the Beacon Theatre for the first time in 25 years to perform two of their landmark albums, Toulouse Street and The Captain And Me.
This historic performance at the Beacon offered an opportunity for Doobie fans to hear deep cuts and songs never-before performed live by the band, such as “Mamaloi,” “O’Connelly Corners,” “Ukiah,” and “The Captain And Me.” The show begins with the 10 songs from the group’s second studio album, Toulouse Street. Originally released in 1972, it’s been certified platinum. Several of the band’s most popular songs first appeared on the album, including “Jesus Is Just Alright” and “Listen To The Music,” the latter presented here with a brand new arrangement featuring horns.
Next, The Doobie Brothers played its third studio release, The Captain And Me. Originally released in 1973, it reached #7 on the Album Chart and has been certified double platinum. Hits include “Long Train Runnin’,” “China Grove” and “South City Midnight Lady.” The show ended with a three-song encore that included their #1 hit “Black Water.”
