The Doobie Brothers last played Houston in 2021, also at the Woodlands Pavilion. And they brought Brother Michael McDonald back in the fold to help celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary on tour. Which itself was delayed due to COVID.
Two of the show’s best songs were likely unfamiliar to most of the crowd as they were both newer: Johnston’s raucous New-Orleans-inspired “World Gone Crazy” , and “Cannonball,” Simmons’ ode to motorcycles and the people who ride them off 2021’sthe big hits of yesteryear. Which is good, because the Doobie Brothers are finishing up a new studio album, and this time with Brother Michael back recording as well.
It by nature deflected attention and eyeballs from the men actually playing live with their feet on the ground. And as it ran the entire course of the concert, did get annoying and distracting after a while.As the set barreled to the end, the Doobies pulled out all the Big Guns. “Jesus is Just Alright” , “Long Train Runnin’” , and “What a Fool Believes” each stood out and spreading the accolades among members.
Nevertheless, his hour-long opening set was smoking enough, with Cray’s raw and emotional guitar work and a voice similarly untouched by time. Backing him were usual bandmembers drummer George “Sputnik” Sluppick, bassist Richard Cousins and keyboardist Dover “White Cliffs” Weinberg.
