THE absolute best version of “Pretzel Logic” featuring Drew Zingg on guitar - KILLER!!!
Poor video quality...

Stampede is their best, especially Neal's Fandango and I Cheat The Hangman.
Tiran Porter was a beast on bass.
It depends. A lot of the remastering is done to renew copyright because it actually does expire in England. That being said if the engineer is good the remastering can be good. Steve Wilson, who’s become the prog rock remaster king, makes AMAZING mixes. He insists on getting all the tapes, false starts, rehearsals, thrown out songs, everything. Not necessarily to use them but to get a feel for what the band was trying to accomplish. Then digitizes then base tracks and remixes from scratch. His mixes are renown for being very crisp, very clean, and having plenty of room to breath.
You do realize that people are going to want to know - what’s it like there? How’s the cost of living? Do you like it, would you recommend?
(Oh, and by the way, meh on the tune, don’t hate it, just doesn’t do a lot for me. Rather listen to Rush’s Marathon)
Arguably velvet voice is one of the nicest folks in music industry
But I prefer pre Michael Doobies
When Simmons ran the show...
It’s like someone there listened to too much Becker and Fagen
“I keep forgetting they’re not the Doobies anymore...”
Considering that the song won 2 Grammys in 1980, one for ‘Record of the Year’, and one for ‘Song of the Year’, I’d say it’s not bad.
I guess I am one of those who don’t mind Michael McDonald.
He was indeed!
LOL, at judging by the pic in #51 not a guy you’d want to tick off.
Wish I owned that Galaxie Convertible.
Years ago a guy that worked for me sang in a Band. He ended up meeting Michael McDonald who introduced him to Kenny Loggins.
When they were all riding in a Limo going up to Santa Barbara they started talking about Christopher Cross. He said Loggins came across as an A-hole and he was making fun of Cross’s Weight problem.
Michael McDonald also sang the closing song in the credits of “The South Park Movie”, so he’s cool in my book.
The Eyes of a Child, so innocent and pure
A Child’s heart is full of song
Take their tiny hands,
And lead them to the light
As Adults we see the pain in the world,
And sometimes it don’t seem right.
Through the Eyes of a Child
The World seems magical
There’s a sparkle in their eyes,
They’ve yet to realise,
The darkness in their soul.
The Beauty of their smile
Adventurous and Wild.
Life is kinda gay,
But it doesn’t seem that way,
Through the Eyes of a Child.
So, don’t give up
Even when the road seems long
Just find that child inside of you
You’ve got to find it in you.
Spread your wings and fly, to the brightest star
If ya want, I can get my friend Steve to detail your car
For around twenty bucks.
Through the Eyes of a Child
The World seems magical
There’s a sparkle in their eyes,
They’ve yet to realise,
The darkness in their soul.
The Beauty of their smile
Adventurous and Wild.
Sure, life is kinda gay,
But it doesn’t seem that way,
Through the Eyes of a Child.
Through the Eyes of a Child
The World seems magical
There’s a sparkle in their eyes,
They’ve yet to realise,
The darkness in their soul.
The Beauty of their smile
Adventurous and Wild.
Sure, life is kinda gay,
But it doesn’t seem that way,
Through the Eyes of a Child.
Sure, life is kinda gay,
But it doesn’t seem that way,
Through the Eyes of a Child.
"Clear As The Driven Snow", one of their best.
Good story all around. Love hearing stuff like this.
I have been answering questions about Spain here for years. I’ll be happy to answer any you have. Just send me a PM.
I never liked the Michael McDonald version of the Doobie Brothers from the get go. Obviously a lot of people did not agree with me.
