I was there too. siiting on offstage in the wings. great night and Tommy came back for the last concert with the group be fore they disbanded. They've never recorded another song since
I think the years and heroin haven't been good to Tom, mostly the the heroin. The late night hunt for drugs 'rumor' is so much more believable than making up a song about a small town around San Antonio that just happens to be called 'China Grove'.
New Year 1982, just separated from my first wife. Came home from the weirdest party ( A guy that owned a sex shop) had recorded on my Sony Beta video recorder ($1200+ ) had rec ordered the final Doobie brothers concert and sat up until it finished. Loved it and still do. Five fukin drummers, Fuck off.
This song is bad ass. I never understood why they ever brought Michael McDonald on board. I know he can play keyboards/piano, but they never should have let him sing. The original sounding band was insane!!
@rubberneck2532 BECAUSE HE SANG HIS ASS OFF AND TOMMY QUIT IN THE BAND SAYING THEY'D BE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM AND THEN THEY WON BEST RECORD OF THE YEAR WITH MICHAELMCdONALD. THEY KEPT ON ROCKIN AND BROUGHT SOME SOUL INTO IT AS WELL. AND MORE FANS
@scoopdapoo Possibly for a different sound. The sound difference between a Firebird and an Explorer is huge. Or maybe a string broke. Or there could have been something wrong with the wiring.
@TarheelTad64 here is the kicker , i smokes a bunch good weed for the 1st time, and went an older women she was 16, and she was all over me during the show. take care dude
