Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers Reviews

STEELY DAN AND DOOBIE BROTHERS - PERFECT EXPERIENCE AT TMF

The Dan always leaves fans refreshed and looking forward to the next concert, and the Doobie Brothers delivered at least as well. What a perfect combo for a night out under a very comfortable Texas sky. The Toyota Music Factory is an awesome venue, and we personally witnessed many fans from far away make the trek into DFW to enjoy two of the greatest bands of all time. So hard to believe that Becker has passed on, but as Don Fagen said, "we'll carry on". Not sure who the bigger fans are nowadays as 30 something children enjoyed as much as the parents at our house, and the burger at the Yard House was as good as they come. Now for the sound quality. Great acoustics right off the bat. The Doobie Brothers started off just a slight bit too loud, but that was quickly adjusted, and the weather for the lawn was totally perfect, especially after the sunset. The Music Factory personnel were attentive and helpful, so the whole experience gets an A+ from my crew. LOVE AND AWESOMENESS!

DOOBIE BROTHERS AND STEELY DAN MAY 11 RALEIGH CONCERT

Doobie Brothers played and played outstanding music and songs everyone knew and loved -- Michael McDonald was not missed (in my estimation), proving once again that everyone is indispensible BUT... The HIGHLIGHT of the evening was Donald Fagen and his musicians -- Of course they played the favorites -- Are there Steely Dan tunes that are NOT favorites? There was NOT one 'Tired Sea Song' among the bunch and after watching a LOT of people leave BEFORE the show was over (in COMPLETE disbelief!), the group finished up and THEN returned to play Reelin' In the Years -- AWESOME! S.D.'s musicians are TOP FLIGHT and Donald is just AMAZING -- I guess there are FANS and then there were the rest... Ah well... Oh... With the number of people under the overhead roof, it could have been HOT but fans kept a GREAT breeze going - We had GREAT seats!

STEELY DAN / DOOBIE BROTHERS

The Doobie Brothers started promptly st 7:30 and As anticipated ROCKED the house. An 80 minute set included all of their Top 40 hits with the exception of Michael McDonald tunes ( The DID play “Takin’ It To The Streets )”). The crowd was enthusiastic and by the closing number everyone was on their feet. Steely Dan was incredible, as usual. Although I am jaded ( this was my 16th time seeing them ) their performance was near flawless. Both bands are have members near 70 years old! Geriatric Rocking is NOT DONE IN CHAIRS!

WHY THE DAN HATE?

Doobies 3.5 stars. Steely Dan 4.5 stars. All great performers. Doobies suffer without Michael McDonald tunes. Steely Dan came on strong with a ton of hits. Fagan sounded terrific. I was nervous after reading the previous reviews. No need. Stellar set list mde SD the deserved headliners. Xfinity Center, Mansfield, MA.

STEELY DAN / DOOBIE BROTHERS MANSFIELD

The Doobie Brothers rocked. They had the crowd up and on it's feet for most of their set. They played all the classics and with energy. They sounded great and played real well. Steely Dan did not fare as well. They miss Becker's jazzy guitar lines. The current guitarist - tho he can certainly play - did not have a sound that cut through the songs. He was too far back in the mix. Daonald Fagen has no more voice. At least on this night. He croaked though Aja and was indistinguishable most of the night. You saw his mouth move but heard nothing. And when you heard something - it was not singing. He may have been sick - because he sounded like he had lost his voice. He talked his way along - didn't sing anything. Just croaked. This was my second time seeing Steely Dan - and it's probably my last. The band sounded best with the back up singers - singing along.
