Doobies took a nosedive after he got involved. Just my opinion.

Agree - his mouth filled with marbles singing style is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

What A Fool Believes would loop for eternity in my concept of Hell.

Terrible singer, IMO. I fully agree with you.

Same here. They were no longer The Doobies after that… a long way from China Grove…..

Agreed... When he left they tried to go back to that.

Add my name to the list of those who concur. I don't mind him as an individual artist, but he took the hard edge and the roots-rock off the Doobies that I really loved.

“Doobies took a nosedive after he got involved. Just my opinion.”

This, +1000. Similar to when Peter Cetera “took over” Chicago and they turned wimpier too.

Saw then a couple of years ago on their (COVID delayed) 50th anniversary tour.

Tom Johnston still jamming (had to drop out later due to needing back surgery).

Patrick Simmons at 80- jumping around on stage.

Michael McDonald sitting at the piano and straining to hit his notes.

Still an outstanding concert.
